Acer Aspire 9504WSMi Review
Today, we have a PC World review of the Acer Aspire 9504WSMi. But you might have seen this review before given that PC Advisor published it in December last year. It seems this is a case of a reviewer publishing in two different sites (are they connected?), which is not really that uncommon. In any case, since this blog has yet to feature a review on the Aspire 9504WSMi, PC World’s review is a good opportunity to introduce one.
Basically, the Aspire 9504WSMi is a pre-dual core, pre-Windows Media Center multimedia notebook, with a 2GHz Pentium M processor, an ATI Mobility Radeon X700, 120GB hard drive, 1GB DDR RAM and a 17in 1440×900 TFT display. Of course, some of the functionality normally achieved with Windows Media Center is fulfilled by the bundled Acer Arcade software. So, specs wise, there’s little not to like, but in view of the upcoming dual core notebooks, I’m sure many of us would like to save our hard-earned cash for something better (like the TravelMate 8204WLMi).
Overall, the Aspire 9504WSMi gets a vigorous thumbs up by PC World, with an overall verdict of:
We couldn’t find a weak point and, believe us, we put the Acer through its paces. With a WorldBench score of 90, it’ll breeze through most tasks. If you’re looking for something powerful with great entertainment potential then look no further than the Acer Aspire 9504WSMi.
Note: Engadget has its own opinion of the Acer Aspire 9504WSMi.
