Page 6, Major typo:
"As we said in the Introduction, the Acer Aspire 9303WSMi is based on a dual-core AMD Turion 64 X2 TL52 processor with a clock rate of 1.60GHz. This CPU is built on the 90nm Taylor core with two independent L2 caches, 512MB each. In all these parameters the AMD processor is inferior to Intel’s Core Duo and Core 2 Duo that are manufactured on 65nm tech process and have up to 4096MB of shared L2 cache. Like the single-core Turin 64, the Turion 64 X2 supports PowerNow!"

Its Turion, not Turin. Its KB, not MB. Feel free to delete this comment if you fix the typo.

Quake 3 ??? what a bad joke...
stopped reading right there. Most of the review is inconsistent, superficial and unsuccessfully tries to balance out its own imbalances...
Just the small ones:
TL-52 is NOT a competitor to T2300 Yonah on performance, TL-56 is for that.
Why bother testing graphics when the second notebook has different one.
Also why touting som much GF6100 being the only SM3.0 IGP?
When was the last time SM3.0 games were actually playable on ANY IGP?
While I appreciate the effort, too many lines where copy-pasted from marketing material. I at least hope so. No sane reviewer would praise notebook chipset(while a decent one) on SM3.0 capability. Period.

It seems this review has been check through a computerized grammar and spell checker with out going through a human. Everybody knows that grammar and spell checkers creates typos. A human being have to check the document before posting it to the public or else get criticize of bad workmanship.

Acer or Benq constructs inferior products. They are so cheap that their products will break after a few days. The notebook computer that is reviewed does not look like it can handle day to day abuse.

The benchmark utilities that the reviewer used only provides unrealistic estimate benchmarks. This review is lousy. Probably it will do better as a news article instead as a review.

Just to correct mino, I dont know if he ever had TL-52, I have one and it is more than comparable to T2300. It is faster in almost all test includind SiSoft, Everest. Of course it is slower in Intel sponsored benchmarks like PCMark.

I agree that it makes no sense to compare laptops with different graphics cards in terms of CPU speed, but it is very useful for someone who wants to buy the notebook. If AMD solution has 2% lower results and it is $300 cheaper, I think it is much better than intel solution.

Also in article they say as bad thing "mirror like" display, and actually it is positive thing to have Crystal Bright thing, and all of them have such display.

I currently have ASUS, but I still think this ACER is best for the money...

I'm in the market for a laptop that is affordable and will run some games. this article helped tremendously. I really appreciate the detail of every aspect of this laptop. I was pretty much sold on it before i read the article, but the article still helped!
