14 DAY TRIAL // While Intel's Sandy Bridge CPUs are definitely showing up in a drove of desktops and notebooks, companies, like Acer, definitely didn't forget about AMD's Fusion, as is proven by a certain Aspire laptop.
The Fusion accelerated processing units that Advanced Micro Devices released not long ago are known for being capable chips with built-in Radeon HD 6000 graphics.
Basically, they are processors that cover the entirety of the market, form the low end to the high end, and which support DirectX 11 graphics.
The entry-level APU goes by the name of AMD E-350 and it is this chip what was employed in the making of the Aspire 5253.
The dual-core processor has a frequency of 1.6 GHz, the ATI Radeon HD 6310 graphics and the VISION technology, and is, in this case, backed up by up to 4 GB of DDR3 memory.
The display of the unit is a 15.6-inch high-definition LED-backlit CineCrystal widescreen panel, while a hard disk of 320 GB can store a large number of multimedia files for it to display.
Additionally, the HDMI port lets one stream videos to an auxiliary PC or monitor, should the notebook's own panel not be satisfactory.
“The new line-up of Aspire notebooks will give consumers advanced productivity and outstanding entertainment capabilities,” said Preeta Anil, senior manager of product marketing for Acer America.
“The new Aspire line upholds Acer’s strong tradition of offering first-to-market, leading-edge technologies at budget-friendly prices.”
“The Aspire 5253 series delivers crystal-clear images and brilliant color for the latest games, movies, photos or videos,” the release further states.
US stores should start to list this particular mobile computer starting on January 9, 2011. The base price will be of $449.99.
In related news, the company made sure to deliver three more Aspire Series models, dubbed Aspire 5750, 5750G and 7750G, only these ones utilize Intel's second generation Core CPUs.
