The ‘Acer Aspire’ series amongst Acer laptops is the most renowned and broadly used all through the world. All novel Gemstone variants have been highly stylish. Moreover, they come with ‘High Definition Dolby Digital Sound System’. These series begin with 4520. The newest model on the hands is Acer Aspire 8920 model. Let’s have a look at the currently available Acer laptops.

The Acer Aspire is the "entry level" line. while they are not equipped with the fastest processors or biggest hardrives, the Aspire deliver a very acceptable prestation if you are an "average user" meaning that you are not an avid gamer or heavy database user. For that matter if most of use is web surfing, email, word processor, spreadsheet... type of activity, chances are that you would barely notice a difference with faster and more expensive laptops. One thing though, make sure you have at least 2GB of RAMs to ensure good speed.

Conclusion

In short, Acer delivers good to great quality and its pricing strategy is very aggressive on the Aspire and TravelMate lines. The Ferrari line is more targeted to high end users on one hand but also and maybe mostly for for user who like fashionable laptops (similar in that sense to the MacBook Air users). Acer is rapidly expanding in the laptops market and will most likely prove to be formidable leader in the years to come.
