Acer Aspire AS5253-BZ661 Laptop Review
Acer Aspire AS5253-BZ661 DesignThe Acer AS5253 uses a plain black top, which is not surprising given its budget price. Plain designs are common among aggressively-priced laptops, including the Gateway NV50A02u ($449.99 list, 4 stars) and Asus K52F-BIN6 ($479.99 list, 3.5 stars). As you move up the price ladder, laptops like the HP Pavilion dv6-6013cl ($650 direct, 4 stars) and Toshiba Satellite L655-S5161RDx ($699.99 list, 3.5 stars) have more sophisticated looks. On the bright side, the lid has a textured surface that's resistant to scratches and finger prints, like that of the NV50A02u. At 5 pounds flat, the AS5352 is more of a desk fixture than travel companion, although it's the lightest among the Toshiba L655-S5161RDx (5.3 lbs), Asus K52F-BIN6 (5.6 lbs), and Dell Inspiron M501R-1655MRB (5.6 lbs) ($650 list, 3.5 stars).
