Acer South Africa has announced the release of the 15.6″ Aspire 5334, an affordable notebook that is equally good at productivity tasks and multimedia entertainment.

Powered by one of the latest Intel Celeron Dual Core processors, built on the Mobile Intel GL40 Express Chipset, and boasting 2 GB of DDR2 667 MHz memory, this notebook is an essential partner for a mobile lifestyle on the road and an entertainment hub and excellent multitasker at home .

With a 320 GB hard drive, the Aspire 5334 allows users to download and store a wealth of content. This data can be easily shared using a multi-in-one card reader.

The Aspire 5334 also shines as a multimedia notebook, thanks to the HD screen that brings photos and movies to vivid life. The Mobile Intel GL40 Express Chipset with integrated 3D graphics features an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500M  and supports Microsoft DirectX 10, providing great performance for video and 3D graphics.

The notebook is all about connectivity – it makes it easy for users to interact face to face with their favourite people wherever they go. They can connect to any wireless hotspot via built-in Wi-Fi or go the wired route using Fast Ethernet, and then use the Acer Crystal Eye webcam for video chats for a fun, personal way to stay in touch.

The full-size keyboard features large keys for enhanced typing, while media keys give users total control over their digital entertainment. A touchpad lock prevents accidental cursor movement, and a WLAN key instantly connects to available Wi-Fi hotspots.

Says John Geypen, product manager at Acer South Africa: “The Acer Aspire 5334 is an affordable notebook for anyone who needs a machine that offers great media performance, multitasking and easy connectivity on the road. With its combination of elegant design and the latest components, the Aspire 5334 is a versatile notebook for people with busy lives.”
