Review ACER Aspire 4740-331G32Mn - Core i3

,
Akhirnya juga saya memiliki notebook pertama saya yaitu ACER Aspire 4740-331G32Mn terus terang sebenarnya merk acer bukan menjadi idaman saya ,entah karena banyak orang yang mengatakan kepanjangan acer= awas cepat R#s#K, tetapi mau bagaimana lagi budget ane pun tipis, jadi ambil dech notebook yang memiliki spek sebagai berikut:
AS4740-331G32Mn Linpus™ Linux® , Intel® Core i3-330M processor (3 MB L3 cache, 2.13 GHz, DDR3 1066 MHz, 35 W),
supporting Intel® 64 architecture, Intel® Smart Cache ; Mobile Intel® HM55 Express Chipset ; 14" HD Acer CineCrystal™ LED-backlit TFT LCD ; 16:9 aspect ratio ; 1GB DDR3 ; 320GB HDD ; DVD SuperMulti Double Layer Drive ; 5-in-1 Media Reader ; HDMI™ port with HDCP support ; Integrated Wireless WiFi Link 802.11b/g/Draft-N ; Acer Crystal Eye High-Def webcam ; 3rd Generation Dolby Home Theater.
Pada kedatangan sample ini, saya mendapatkan versi LINUX yang terpaksa harus saya bongkar dan install ulang dengan Windows 7, Dengan harga Rp 5.150.000, beda dengan teman saya yang membeli berserta windowsnya + ram 2gb + bluetooth dengan harga Rp 5.950.000


Memang sudah saatnya notebook kelas mainstream memiliki platform baru yang lebih powerful, tapi lebih irit daya.
Processor Intel Core i3 Mobile codename Arrandale dengan fabrikasi 32nm sudah menjawabnya pada tahun 2010 ini.
Menggantikan tahta pendahulunya Intel Core 2 Family T5XXX dan T6XXX series, vendor sendiri mengklaim begitu banyak kelebihan yang ditawarkan pada processor ini.

(-)

-HDD panas
-Desain masih menggunakan model Aspire 4736 sebelumnya. Tidak ada inovasi baru.
-Tidak ada bluetooth pada varian ini, walaupun ada tombol untuk aktivasinya

Sekian review dari saya, mohon maaf karena tidak menyertakan test game karena suatu alasan terutama keterbatasan waktu.
Semoga bisa membantu teman-teman dalam memilih notebook yang sesuai.
