| Acer Aspire 5112 Review |
Acer deserves credit for not wasting materials. The 5112 box is tiny. Upon opening it, you are greeted with a list of contents and a getting started guide. Not enough makers think of this, but it is great for novices. Pulling the 5112 out of the box we see an evolution of Acers recognizable chassis design. This is very similar to Acer's other 15.4" widescreen notebooks. Construction consists of matte silver and black plastics with some piano black accents. You do not get the rich-feeling rubber coating that features on the Acer Ferrari and TravelMate 8200 series, but the 5112 feels good for a notebook in this price range.Turning the 5112 over so that we can see its bottom there are several user accessible panels. Removing these exposes what looks to be a solid CNC machined aluminum skeleton. A single cooling solution handles heat from the CPU and GPU. The GPU is not removable.
Unlike the Qosmios, the 5112 is truly a notebook. It weighs about six and a half pounds, it is not quite an inch and a half thick, fourteen inches wide and about ten inches long. This is a very portable media center.
Keyboard and Touchpad
Acer's curved keyboard is gone (from this model at least). The keyboard base is spongy and exhibits a lot of flex from the center outwards to the right. This detracts from the overall experience a bit. Acer Aspire 5112 Review Linked by LT Hacker
