Acer has a fetish for producing stylish laptops. The Aspire One 532h is no different. But then, style does not mean that the laptop becomes a runaway hit. So perhaps, defining the features of the Aspire One 532h might help in analyzing it more closely and passing a verdict would also become simpler. With a thickness of 0.99 inches and weighing 1.08 kilograms, the notebook is lighter than the average ones. The lid of the laptop has been kept glossy and given a deep blue finish with some dust like pixels. This does make it look attractive, but the performance has still not been fully explored. The keyboard has been given a chicklet style makeover and the arrow keys looked quite cramped up. Certainly not what you would expect of an Acer laptop!
The touchpad has been given a black matte finish where as the button is in deep metallic blue. The laptop has a separate scroll zone and a dual touch pad. The tiny LED indicator on the bottom panel keeps blinking. So if the computer is given a command, expect the light to blink every time. There is a troika of USB ports, one memory card reader, an Ethernet port and the D-Sub out complete the other features. Impressive! Connectivity does not suffer! The processor used in the laptop is the Intel Atom N450 with 512 Cache and the chipset is the NM10. Integrated graphics are also incorporated through the GMA3150. Visuals will again be pretty normal, as this is used in many of its competitors.
The RAM is 1GB DDR2 and the hard disk drive is 160 GB. Acer has left no stone unturned to ensure that the notebook is packed with all crisp technological features. The display screen is 10.1 inches WLED with a resolution of 1024x600, which perhaps ensures that if you watch a movie, it might give you the same experience that you get from watching a movie on cable television. But still the screen remains small, so entertainment has to be comprised upon. But the disappointment comes through the battery. This is perhaps one of the few features where the laptop lets down. The 6 cell Li-ion strip does not sustain the laptop for more than 5 hours at a stretch which at times does annoy the user.
Files can be compressed well through WinRaR pretty quickly. The speed of copying files with a size of 2GB can be done at 26MB/s. The features are good and the packaging has been done quite well. One cannot call all these features mentioned above as exemplary as other laptops too have them. But then with a price tag of Rs. 19,776 the notebook certainly does not disappoint. The price justifies all the features that the laptop comes packed with and hence, it is only appropriate that the makers deserve a pat on the back. You cannot expect the best processor with a huge display screen and all the latest multimedia features that too in a laptop priced as well as this one.
Verdict: Buy it if your usage is for normal purposes. If you are a geek and have a thing for high end technology, then you will be disappointed. But if you are a simple guy with day to day needs, this is one of the idyllic ones to buy.
