Acer reminisces with the Lego toys of yesteryear with a return to plastic with their Aspire 5290. The finish although cheap looking, and off white color, (the worst color for dirt prone touch pads), does seem to be of good quality, especially, after a week of regular use.
It’s the larger twin of the Aspire 2920, and for a 15.4-inch notebook, its heavy too (3 kg). The configuration is a Core 2 Duo T5550 (1.83 GHz) coupled with 2 GB of RAM is good enough for office work and the Internet on Windows Vista. A shame then, that Acer chooses to bundle Linux with this notebook, although frankly we were interested to see the difference this made in the pricing. At Rs 39,139 the Aspire 5290 aspire to be something it is not. Do not aspire to own this, you will find better options among the other contenders.
