Acer Aspire 5050-5430 Video Review… or Specs Listing
Here’s another budget AMD Turion64-powered Acer notebook, this time a 1.7GHz model (compared to the 1.8GHz sported by the Aspire 7520 reviewed earlier). Everything else looks to be somewhat similar, i.e. 1GB DDR2 RAM, 120GB HDD (vs. 80GB on the 7520), except for the 5050’s smaller 14.1″ screen.
TigerDirect video reviews this laptop and well… waxes lyrical about it – even though the reviewer clearly knows nuts about giving useful comments. The entire review is pretty much a specs listing than anything else, but hey, it’s good enough for a laugh if you have nothing else to do I guess.
In any case, you’d be better served checking out the Aspire 7520 review, which conclusions should pretty much hold for the 5050-5430. What I can say is that the 5050 is a budget notebook good for everyday use, but it’s certainly not something for design or speed-lovers.
