Amazon.com Product Description

It's easy to keep within your budget but get everything you need in a notebook for home, school or home office with the Acer Aspire AS3100-1868 (LX.AX60Y.029). Acer's acclaimed Folio design features chic lines, smooth curves, and a cool metallic sheen, while its slim-and-light form factor facilitates excellent mobility, while front-access ports and controls make connecting to a network convenient. Affordable and nicely portable at 6.2 pounds, this AS3100 is powered by AMD's 1.8 GHz Sempron 3400+ processor and has a bright 15.4-inch LCD that takes advantage of Acer's CrystalBrite set of display technologies, which provide great color saturation and excellent contrast in all environments. In addition to an integrated 54g wireless LAN, this notebook also includes Acer's SignalUp technology--a super-efficient antenna is built into the case, creating an omni-directional sphere that extends signal range and quality. It also offers an 80 GB hard drive, 512 MB of RAM (2 GB maximum), a dual-layer DVD burner, and 5-in-1 memory card reader.

This laptop also comes preinstalled with Microsoft Windows Vista Home Basic, which delivers a safer, more reliable, and more productive computing environment. It integrates new search tools throughout the operating system, includes new parental control features, and offers new tools that can warn you of impending hardware failures.

The Basics
<ul>

Processor: A lower-end cousin to AMD's XP processor line, the 1.8 GHz AMD Sempron 3400+ found in this notebook is speedy enough for everyday computing needs and running office productivity software, but won't be quite enough for higher-end video editing or 3-D gaming. This processor features AMD's Cool'n'Quiet Technology, which conserves power while also keeping the notebook's decibels to a minimum. It also features up to a 1600 MHz front-side bus (FSB) and a 256 KB L2 cache. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.)

Hard Drive: The 80 GB hard drive (5400 RPM) is average in size for notebook PCs, and it's roomy enough to store business productivity applications, all your important documents and presentations, and a good-sized digital audio and video library.

Memory: The 512 MB of built-in memory (1 x 512 MB, 533 MHz) is a decent start for power users. But you'll want to take advantage of the 2 GB capacity for working with today's demanding business productivity applications.

DVD/CD Drive: The multiformat DVD/CD drive is compatible with both DVD+ and DVD- disc formats as well as dual-layer (DL) DVD+/-R discs, which can store up to 8.5 GB of data. It offers the following write speeds: 4x for dual-layer DVD-R DL and DVD+R DL; 8x for single-layer DVD-R and DVD+R; 8x for DVD+RW; 6x for DVD-RW; 5x for DVD-RAM; and 24x/16x for CD-R/RW.

Keyboard & Mouse: The 88-key keyboard offers an inverted T cursor layout, embedded numeric keypad, hotkey controls, international language support, 2.5mm minimum key travel. The touchpad has a four-way integrated scroll button. </ul> Screen, Video & Audio
The 15.4-inch WXGA LCD has a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels and a 200-nit high-brightness LCD with a 16 ms response time. A screen of this size shows 30% more information compared to a 15-inch XGA LCD, offering a generous viewing area for both entertainment and multi-window multitasking. Video is powered by the ATI Radeon Xpress 1100, which delivers stable and reliable visual power for business and communications applications, demanding 3-D games, and the coming Windows Vista operating system. It also has an integrated audio card with Microsoft DirectSound and Sound Blaster Pro compatibility for realistic gameplay and movie watching.

Acer's CrystalBrite display technology guarantees the best possible visual experience by preventing the diffusion of surrounding light and internal ray. Compared to normal TFT LCDs, Acer CrystalBrite technology is able to read color coordinates more accurately, thus minimizing distortion and creating high-fidelity colors in all environments. It's great for sophisticated professional applications, photo manipulation, and immersive 3-D games.

Networking, Connectivity & Expansion
This Acer notebook has an integrated 54g wireless LAN (Acer InviLink) that's compatible with 802.11b and 802.11g networks and offers Acer's SignalUp technology for enhanced antenna efficiency. It also includes a basic offering of external connections: <ul>

3 USB 2.0 ports for connecting a wide range of peripherals--from digital cameras to MP3 players

Type II PC Card slot

5-in-1 card reader compatible with MultiMediaCard, Secure Digital, Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO and xD-Picture Card

1 VGA for external monitor

1 headphone jack, 1 microphone jack </ul> It also has an integrated 56K modem (V.90) and an RJ-45 LAN network port (for a 10/100 Fast Ethernet connection to networks and DSL/cable modems).
