The minimum cost and modest technical specifications were initially attributed to the entry-level solutions of the Acer Aspire 5315 model laptop . The characteristics of such a device allow solving the simplest tasks. In addition, it should be noted that this model was released in 2006. As a result, at the moment it is completely out of date. It is about this mobile computing system that will be discussed in this review.
Positioning
As previously noted, the Acer Aspire 5315 belongs to the most low-cost solutions. The characteristics of such a PC confirm that it belongs to such products. This mobile computer was released in 2006, and today it is outdated. It is based on the Celeron model chip. It uses an integrated video card into the chipset. Already these two points indicate that such a PC performs only simple tasks. And only at the time of release. Now, even when starting the simplest applications (office or browser), problems can arise. Therefore, the owners of such mobile computers is the time to think about buying a new similar device.
CPU, graphics card, memory
Acer Aspire 5315 laptop is based on the Celeron M model 550 processor with a clock frequency of 2.0 GHz . The characteristics of this chip are very modest. Only 1 computing module, and the size of the cache in the second level is 1 MB. The third level of fast volatile memory on this semiconductor chip is missing. This processor should be installed in the BGA479 socket, and this indicates that it is directly “soldered” to the system board. That is, the use of this chip in this laptop model indicates its full budget affiliation. It should also be noted that such a system only works in 32-bit computing mode. Accordingly, the operating system should also function in the same mode. An integrated Intel GMA X3150 graphics card is used in the Acer Aspire 5315. The technical characteristics of this accelerator indicate a very low level of speed, which is only enough to solve the most simple tasks. The maximum amount of video buffer that such an accelerator can address is 368 MB. It uses part of system RAM to store video information. The type of the latter is DDR2. The basic version uses 1 GB of such memory (2 modules of 0.5 GB each). The frequency of the chips is 533 MHz. Slots for installing RAM in this mobile PC 2. If you wish, you can upgrade it and increase the amount of RAM to 2 GB (2 strips of 1 GB).
Reviews and price
The budget and affordable mobile solution is Acer Aspire 5315. The characteristics of this accessory only confirm it. Therefore, it is not necessary to demand impressive performance and excellent energy efficiency from him initially. This laptop is initially positioned as a mobile PC with basic speed. For the simplest and least demanding tasks, it is great. At least by the standards of 2006. Now it is hopelessly outdated and turned into an electronic “typewriter”, which allows its owner to work only with text documents. This is how this solution is characterized by users in the reviews. In a new state, it can no longer be purchased. Used devices can now be found at a price of 6000-6700 rubles.
Conclusion
Of course, at the time of the release, the Acer Aspire 5315 was quite relevant and most affordable. It had really good specifications . But now it is completely out of date. It certainly makes no sense to buy it. Its speed is too slow, which will only be enough to work with text documents. Therefore, it is better to add a certain amount and purchase an already more modern device with high speed.
