Questions & Answers for Acer Acer Gray 15.6" Aspire AS5349-2481 Laptop PC with Intel Celeron B800 Dual Core Processor, Webcam, HDMI Out and Windows 7 Home Premium

Question

What is the benefit of purchasing this 2gb laptop and later installing a memory stick?

When I use my laptop I like to do things simultaneously like streaming music while surfing the web with multiple windows open. I also stream lots of videos and Skype. I don't use any fancy software, really, but is 2gb enough memory for my needs? Also, I know nothing about computers and I'm afraid that if I try to install a memory stick someday I will royally screw up my laptop. Would I be better off with this or buying a 4g laptop and not have to worry about taking anything apart?

This product will probably not meet the demands you are stating in your question although it is a good Notebook. If you try and stream multiple video's or run lots of programs then you will benefit from a faster processor and more memory.

Our suggestion would be:

or something similar.

Where is the fan?

I have an older Dell and the fan is on the bottom (which requires me to have it tilted at all times). Where is the fan/vents located on this laptop?

The intake vents are located on the bottom and the exhaust is located on the side. Most Notebooks are designed to be placed on a hard service for proper ventilation.

How do you install the memory - no memory panel

There is no memory panel on this laptop. It says it is expandable...do I need to remove all the screws underneath? It appears that way but want to verify before starting. Also, does it ship with a single 2GB simm or 2x1GB simms?

This unit ships with 2x 1GB sticks. And all the screws underneath have to be removed, and the bottom of the unit removed to access the memory slots.

Acer hands down, they have a better track record. Toshiba is from Japan, duh, and Acer's are made in Denmark which does not say much, but Acer does have a great reputation. Do a product comparison.

1.5Ghz to 2.8Ghz does make a fair amount of difference in performance. Video memory helps with video intensive applications and games.

It comes with 2GB. check RAM prices on crucial.com. I'm sure with the additional memory it will still be the best price in an apples-to-apples comparison.

The video explains how to install upgraded memory but this unit does not come with the upgrade. This would be a separate purchase.

Before doing anything, just uninstall all the junk, like the free version of Microsoft 2010. Spend the $90 and buy a real copy of Office.

There should be no lag in the video as long as the system is not running large amounts of applications while trying to stream video.
