Product Description
Mid-size laptop: The Acer EX5420-5038 is a mid-size laptop, with
above-average processing power and everything most people need for
basic computing, entertainment and online communication. This model has
premium features including powerful dual-core processing, a
double-layer DVD drive, a built-in webcam and Windows Vista Home
Premium.
Dual core/64-bit processing: The 1.9GHz Athlon 64 X2 TK-57 has
two processing engines that work in tandem, providing much more power
than standard 1.9GHz processors. This processor is also capable of
processing 64 bits of information at once, twice as much as standard
32-bit processors.
- This laptop features 2GB of DDR2 system memory—enough for all but
the most demanding users, gamers and multimedia professionals. DDR2 is
slightly faster than DDR, the previous standard in system memory.
-
AMD employs HyperTransport technology, which works like a
fully-integrated frontside bus that increases bandwidth, reduces
bottlenecks and enables processors to work more efficiently. The end
result is better performance.
-
Processors search for the same data over and over. L2 caches keep this
data neat, organized, and nearby so it can be retrieved more quickly.
This 512KB (2 x 256KB) L2 gives the processor a little boost.
Hard drive: This hard drive features a 120GB capacity—perfect
for collections of music, movies and multimedia. This drive’s data
disks spin at 5400rpm. The faster they spin, the faster the data is
read and written.

DVD SuperMulti drive: Use this drive to burn DVDs and CDs to
share your files, music mixes or home movies. You can even burn DVD-RAM

and rewrite your files up to 100,000 times.
