Acer's CrystalBrite display technology guarantees the best possible visual experience by preventing the diffusion of surrounding light and internal ray. Compared to normal TFT LCDs, Acer CrystalBrite technology is able to read color coordinates more accurately, thus minimizing distortion and creating high-fidelity colors in all environments. It's great for sophisticated professional applications, photo manipulation, and immersive 3-D games.
AMD's Athlon X2 QL-62 dual-core processor is built for tomorrow's 64-bit applications, which will require a processor with significant power. Dual-core technology is like having two processors working together, each one taking care of different applications, so power-users actually experience greater performance when multiple applications are running. Digital media enthusiasts will appreciate the enhancements while simultaneously working in high-definition video and photo editing and audio mixing programs. It includes such AMD features as HyperTransport Technology (which increases the communication between integrated circuits) and Enhanced Virus Protection. This 2.0 GHz processor offers a system bus with speeds up to a blazing 3600 MHz and each core offers a 512 KB L2 cache--for a 1 MB total. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.)
This laptop's video and graphics are powered by the integrated NVIDIA GeForce 9100M G, which provides 256 MB of dedicated video memory and up to 1633 MB of total video memory as allocated by the system. With support for Microsoft DirectX 10 Shader Model 4.0 and High Dynamic-Range Lighting (HDR), it lets you rip through all of today's most advanced and cutting-edge games and applications. The advanced NVIDIA PureVideo HD engine provides the processing power that you need for premier movie watching on your notebook PC. So, whether you're relaxing at home or on the other side of the world, you can experience picture quality with breathtaking details. And the built-in NVIDIA CUDA processor accelerates next-generation applications and games, enabling you to transcode videos to your portable media player faster as well as experience realism in games or social networking virtual worlds.
This multiformat DVD/CD drive is compatible with writing both DVD+ and DVD- disc formats as well as dual-layer (DL) DVD±R discs, which can store up to 8.5 GB of data. It offers the following read/write speeds: - Write: 24x CD-R, 16x CD-RW, 8x DVD-R, 8x DVD+R, 4x DVD-R DL (double-layer), 4x DVD+R DL (double-layer), 6x DVD-RW, 8x DVD+RW, 5x DVD-RAM

 Bad batteries June 13, 2010
strongboy (Redlands, CA USA)
I've now owned the laptop for just under a year and the battery has now completely quit. The battery life was never very good, averaging around an hour and a half brand new, but now it only lasts 10 minutes or so on a full charge. Seems like they skimped out on the battery quality in order to bring down the price of the laptop. Believe me when I say it is worth it to pay extra to buy a laptop that has decent battery life. Because I am just under a year, I have contacted Acer to see if they will replace my battery per the standard warranty. In my opinion, the battery has failed due to poor quality, which should be covered by warranty. We'll see what happens.
In the meantime, I would not suggest this laptop due to the battery issues.
 Disappointed September 25, 2009
Trying Man
Laptop died within 4 weeks of being bought VERY disappointed.Unable to get warranty.Stay away you have been warned.
 Great laptop - one important tip September 8, 2009
Leo Strauss (Washington DC)
This is a nice little laptop with plenty of spunk. Here is my biggest tip - if you plan to burn video DVDs, then please use Maxell DVDs. I tried Verbatim and TDK, neither worked. But Maxell seems to work. I suffered about a month of pain trying to get a cousin's wedding from the DV camera to a DVD - I had no idea that the problem was with the brand of DVD I was trying to burn!
As several others mentioned, I agree that the Acer software which came factory installed slows the machine down and doesn't seem to add much value.
Otherwise - highly recommended.
Acer AS4530-6823 14.1 in blue laptop September 7, 2009
L. Garrett (Massachusetts)
Love it. Everything they promise and more...the "and more", I haven't quite gotten to yet, not so tech savy.
But all in all it is easy to navigate, boots up quickly and runs quietly. Doesn't heat up as much as my prior computer either.
neat lil laptop for the price September 7, 2009
R. Chong (Caribbean)
had the laptop for 6 months now. Its beautiful. simple and does what i need it to do..
bad: it contains vista.
When i first got the laptop, it was shint. and blue.. and pretty.. :)
then i turn it on.. took over 15-20 mins to start up..
vista is a real chore. lots of 3rd party programs built in, that slows the machine down terribly!
but after working on it for a day or two.. removing everything and putting all that i need.. it works great.
even installed ubuntu as a 2nd OS on it.. and it works great! no compatibility issues with it as some others may have complained about on other forums.
so if u havent got lots to spend.. and u need something on the go that reliable. this ACER can do... :)
oh.. and the battery lasts about 2hrs.. with average use.. running videos.. much less.. :)
