Thread: Acer Aspire L100 PC

Acer Aspire L100 is a small form factor PC that is trying to provide a complete package in a tiny little box. This is not a simple task, but Acer has a good reputation in this field. L100 on the board of AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800 +, NVidia 6150 chipset and 512 MB DDR2 RAM. Storage is taken care of 160 GB SATA 3.5 "HDD and DVDRW drives. It also has a card reader, but it only supports four formats: Memory Stick, MMC, SD MC and XD-Picture Card. Front and rear USB ports, one voice port Firewire, S / PDIF audio and TV tuner cards to complete the basic hardware configuration. TV tuner and remote control is included to strengthen the L100, all-in-one powers. The map includes FM radio, S-Video and composite materials, as well as S / PDIF audio output. Acer also offers a wireless keyboard and mouse.



Doom 3 test was slightly better; L100 managed 20 fps with the graphics turned to low, and allowed 800x600. This in no way a game machine, but the game is over in 2005 will be decently. Initial indicators are not just the thing for this machine.The TV tuner cards and software packages is the most important feature. They work well enough, but a slight disappointment to add to the sense of dissatisfaction. Acer decided to abandon Microsoft's own software Media Center. Available alternative is very similar to Media Center. The lack of RAM really starts to speak here. The main screen is supposed to smoothly switch between different functions, but with a PC threshing on the hard drive every few seconds, she recalls jerky slide show. Navigating the menu becomes a bit tricky when your computer meets the second after you press the button on the remote control. This kills consumer devices feeling L100. After upgrading RAM 1 GB, these problems have disappeared. Ignoring the slow response, the software decent, but some problems remain. First, there is Acer that you want to know the weather in New York. It is possible to change it, but the list of cities, provided, Acer forgot to include an Indian city.
