Acer Aspire 9500 Review

Laptop Magazine reviews the Acer Aspire 9500. While, many of the people I know see Acer as a cheap laptop, the 9500 proves them wrong both in quality and price.

The Aspire 9500 was given a rating of four out of five, and has a list price of $2,299 USD.

For a 17-inch laptop, the Aspire 9500 favors a slim-and-sexy appearance over a fat all-in-one approach. A gunmetal silver-and-black exterior masks a tight form factor, which is uniquely possible for a Taiwanese manufacturer like Acer because it actually designs and builds its own notebooks, from the BIOS to the motherboards. The effort has paid off with a large notebook that’s 1.5-inches tall and weighs only 8.4 pounds.

Two things that stopped the 9500 from getting a full on five out of five were its lack of an instant-on capability and weak wireless range.
