Today we review on Acer Aspire 4820TG, in addition to light, Acer Aspire 4820TG also has a very strong performance. In the configuration, Acer Aspire 4820TG uses the current high-end discrete graphics, and also has high-performance Intel processors.

With the development of Acer Aspire 4820TG, we find that the metal meterial is widespread in thin and light notebook, mainly because the metal can increase the notebook’s texture, but more important is that it can make a more solid laptop.

In the roof, we can see the familiar “SignalUp” logo, it says the product has been enhanced signal processing, can receive more stable wireless signals. In addition, metallic materials will shield the wireless signal, so SignalUp logo row is not the metal materials.

Acer’s “duckweed-style” keyboard has been used for more than a year., Acer Aspire 4820TG design is quite beautiful, after all, chocolate-like keyboard is the current trend.

Each notebook vendor in the design will take into account the product functionality and ease of use, and these are the most benefit from the user, and it is the core value of the product. Acer Aspire 4820TG is a switch to a dual-graphics capabilities of the notebook, Acer makes this machine one of the ways to improve ease of use is to make 4820TG become more intelligent.

Acer Aspire 4820TG touchpad is very comfortable when sliding. In addition, Acer Aspire 4820TG uses integrated touchpad buttons.

For most users, unplug the power adapter means to carry, the battery enduarance is very important. Acer Aspire 4820TG will automatically switch the significant modes when the power is disconnected, thereby reducing power consumption and improve battery life.

Acer Aspire 4820TG status light is in the front, from left to right can display sleep, charge and wireless network, and user can see them even the screen is closed.

Acer Aspire 4820TG left side is equipped with some common configuration interface. In addition we can see a USB interface, a total of four USB interface for ordinary users is absolutely enough.

Acer Aspire 4820TG right side is configured DVD burner, power supply interface and 3 USB interfaces.

The system prompts the users “PowerSmart feature” has been opened after power adapter is unplug. And the “P” button in the upper right side of the keyboard becomes blue then entered the power-saving laptop mode. If you want to turn off the power saving mode, as long as clicking “P” button. You can re-open the independence of significant modes even only uses laptop battery.

Acer Aspire 4820TG has got the Dolby certification, which has virtual surround sound speakers, but the fuselage is forced to limited volume, loud speaker has not too good results. For a notebook, if you want to enjoy the stunning sound effects, best to install an external speaker.

Acer Aspire 4820TG front configured with a card reader interface, it can support SD,XD,MS,MS-pro and other memory card but TF card.

Although the industry is not a strict definition of the thin and light notebook, generally less than 30mm thickness is thin. By measuring we can see that the thickest parts of this machine is only 25mm, it is considered a very thin. In addition, Acer Aspire 4820TG plus the weight of the battery is only about 2kg ,for the 14-inch notebooks, it is very light.

Acer Aspire 4820TG buttom has a number of cooling holes, mainly in processor and memory parts, and these are suction outlet.

Through simply disassembly ,we can see the internal structure of Acer Aspire 4820TG. Although Acer Aspire 4820TG is not configured shock pad around the hard disk, there is a iron fixed the hard drive that can guarantee the stability of hard disk working.

Acer Aspire 4820TG is equipping with a single 2GB memory, also a slot for upgrading in the future.

Acer Aspire 4820TG comes with a piece of 66wh lithium ion battery. Usually , thin and light notebooks has a relatively good endurance.

Actually, thin and light notebooks have not powerful configuration, mainly for the high-performance chips need some space for cooling. However, Acer Aspire 4820TG has a piece of high-performance ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 integrated graphics, this combination is  not what we previously anticipated.

In addition to high-performance discrete graphics Acer Aspire 4820TG is also equipped with an Intel Core i5-430M processor.

Acer Aspire 4820TG with a piece of the Hitachi 320GB hard drive, the standard speed is 5400 rpm. HD Tune test through, we can see the average read speed of 61.3MB / s, performance is quite good.

We use PCMark Vantage to test the Acer Aspire 4820TG overall performance. For Acer Aspire 4820TG has two pairs of graphics cards, so we do test in two modes. The results show that PCMark Vantage on the graphics card is not sensitive, the gap between the two modes of scores is less than 100 points.

It is clearly that high-performance graphics cards are mainly used in playing games. And ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 graphics card is one of the most popular graphics currently. More than ten thousand is showing this graphics card is powerful.

First is famous first-person shooter “Call of Duty 6”, we turn into a standard screen resolution of 1366×768, and closed the vertical sync and antialiasing. We can seen this game is running very smoothly in

Acer Aspire 4820TG. However, Call of Duty 6 has a high need on memory, all occasionally occur insufficient memory jump phenomenon.

The following is the famous racing game “Need for Speed 13″, return to realistic generation praised by most of the players, and more realistic graphics effects are also a test of strength. Similarly, we put “Need for Speed 13″ of the game screen to adjust for the high grade quality, and still is the standard resolution of 1366 x 768.

In contrast, “Need for Speed 13″ slightly worse performance, although 20 frames / sec performance can only be barely able to play, fluency for demanding gamers is low , only by reducing the number of paintings to improve the quality of the game fluency.

Now, let us go to cooling test, we use Furmark in independent graphics card mode for 30 minutes test. In a room of temperature about 26 ℃ environment, through testing we can see, the keyboard surface maximum temperature is 49 ℃, the bottom body temperature of 52 ℃, this is not too low temperature, but considering such a thin body but also accompanied by high-performance discrete graphics, so slightly higher temperature is also acceptable.

We use Windows 7 ability to test the endurance of Acer Aspire 4820TG which can support 7 hours, while the independence model is reduced to 2 hours.

Summary:

Acer Aspire 4820TG has a thin body, and also equips with high-performance graphics cards and processors. And a number of factors make Acer Aspire 4820TG become a recent concern about the highest users of the machine one. If your notebook’s performance and portability have a certain requirement, then Acer Aspire 4820TG should be a very good choice.
