Click on the individual links for detailed reviews of Acer’s first notebook computer running the Intel Core Duo processor - the Acer Aspire 5670 series notebook. Below are summaries of what the reviewers’ thought about the Acer Aspire 5672. Laptop Magazine: Acer Aspire 5670 The Aspire’s 5670’s 1.66-GHz Core Duo processor helped the machine score an impressive 259 in MobileMark 2005, aided by a whopping 2GB of RAM and 5,400-rpm 120GB hard drive. ATI’s Mobility Radeon X1400 graphics allowed the 5670 to notch a good 3DMark03 score of 3,452, which means that this system can handle most recent titles. Battery life wasn’t great at three hours, but this mainstream system wasn’t designed to be used unplugged for very long stretches. Like the HP dv1000t, the 5670 features a built-in Webcam, which swivels 225 degrees. The video quality left a bit to be desired in terms of frame rate and clarity, but it’s a handy feature for those interested in informal video chats. Acer’s Aspire 5670 is jam-packed with all of the bells, whistles, and zip that one could want from a dual-core notebook, all for the non-premium price of $1,799. NotebookReview: Acer Aspire 5670 Series Review I have to say I am very impressed with the performance of the Acer 5670 with its Core Duo processor. The performance boost from the dual core is anywhere from negligible to a full two fold increase, something that does not come often in the computing world. Acer put together a nice notebook that’s full of features and a pleasure to use thanks to a crisp screen and full connectivity. I would have liked to see a slightly sturdier build, but that is usual for me. The only big negative is the battery life. I’ve come to expect at least three hours from modern notebooks, and 4-5 is always a big plus. Running for only just over two hours under most use, the 5670 falls somewhat short. If performance is most important, however, shorter battery life is a small compromise. As a powerful desktop replacement with significant portability, the Acer 5670 excels wonderfully.
