Acer Aspire 5253, low cost notebook with AMD E-350 APU

The notebook we're going to review belongs to the most successful line of Acer, i.e. Aspire. The model is equipped with a processor belonging to the AMD Fusion Zacate family dedicated to mainstream notebooks. The Aspire 5253 E354G50Mnkk is the perfect notebook to enjoy the time with movies and to tackle any job, also thanks to low power consumption, allowing high autonomy.

Conclusions

Performance:
Quality/Price ratio:
Overall:

When the laptop arrived in the office we immediately have been taken into account for what purposes it was designed. The reviewed notebook was not born for gaming and does not come with high performance, but is designed for those who use the laptop for work, thanks to the full keyboard, for those who need to create and share documents from anywhere without sacrificing convenience of a monitor 15.6", but also for those wishing to use the excellent camera to perform video conferencing. The system still allows the display of movies in high definition without sacrificing too much the multimediality.

Acer thus, sacrificing the performance aspect, has managed to create a great laptop for the office and surfing the internet at a quite low price; the Acer Aspire 5253 E354G50Mnkk, being reviewed, in fact, can be found in Italian shops starting from 370€.
