This Aspire model is a great unit with a matte black finish. The cover has a pebbled surface that helps it to be moved with a definite grip something you'll require given the notebook's size10 by 15 and by 1.3 inches and weight 5.7 pounds. What makes this Aspire model different from major economy notebooks is the addition of both Intel integrated and Nvidia discrete graphics worked by the next company's Optimus technology.



Processors or chipsets with integrated graphics are known sights in economy model laptops. But not only do integrated graphics rob system memory from other programs they normally lack the muscle to work applications with great graphics demands especially 3D modeling games and video modification.
