Emachines E525: technical specifications, comments and photos

At the end of 2007, Acer entered into a deal with a major concern eMachines, wholly buying out the brand. And considering that the company is engaged in the production of computer equipment for the middle class of the population, the purchase of the budget line "Emashins" is very logical and profitable in the general ideology of "Eiser".

A new line of notebooks Acer eMachines - these are typical budget models designed for work. You will not find any newfangled design key in these laptops, and there is no need to expect revolutionary performance from the device.

These laptops are suitable for everyday tasks without the use of powerful graphics packages. Also it is worth noting that the "Emashins" models have one of the lowest percentages of breakdowns among all known world brands.

The subject of attention of today's article is the eMachines E525 notebook. Below you will find in detail the design features, performance and other characteristics that will help the user navigate in his choice.

The laptop has a 15-inch working surface and a rather modest appearance. The performance of the device can be attributed to the average, and the price of the brand is quite acceptable. In general, the model Acer eMachines E525 is balanced, and it combines everything you need for everyday work.

Design

The appearance of the laptop hardly anyone will cause surprise. The device has a strict and very restrained form of design execution. In it everything is practical, "cheap" and minimalistic. The case of the laptop is made of plastic and has a matte coating, which prevents it from collecting fingerprints and will hide small scratches.

The gloss on the eMachines E 525 can only be seen on the frame around the display. Having a fairly strong design, the device does not creak and does not emit any strange sounds like a crunch, so the quality of the assembly "Aiser" pleased - it turned out to be at a high level. The hinges are rather tight and allow to open the display at 185 °, which is quite good and quite enough for traveling and working in non-standard conditions.

Interior and exterior

Matt plastic and eMachines E525 is also equipped. The working surface and touchpad are pleasant to the touch, and the hands during work feel quite comfortable on such a surface. Under the cover, as well as outside, there are no special refinements - everything is ordinary and simple in Spartan: a panel with an additional keyboard unit, a touchpad and three function keys like a mouse with LED indicators. At the top of the display, the user sees a standard laptop webcam.

In principle, eMachines E525 should be used as a stationary laptop, but if you have a desire to walk with it to nature or take a long trip - the problem is not. Any laptop does not have any ultra-compactness, but nevertheless 2.7 kg is not very burdensome on the road.

Display

Laptops with a 15-inch display enjoy an enviable popularity, especially since this is the optimal size for the digital matrix of the monitor. Therefore, the eMachines E525 display characteristics are not much different from similar laptops. The device has a diagonal of 15.6 inches with a screen resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels.

Bright illumination of the screen and relatively high-quality color rendering make it possible to carry out all everyday everyday and office tasks without stress. Viewing of modern dynamic films also pleases with color and saturation. The modern wide screen format will allow you to fully enjoy the delights of the film industry in high quality.

The display has a glossy surface, due to which the picture on the screen looks more juicy, but due to technical nuances, the sunlight falling on the device can cause some inconvenience, especially if the rays emerge directly from behind the user's back. The viewing angle of the screen has standard characteristics, as well as at the majority of similar laptops: on a vertical - hardly less, and on horizontally it is little more.

Working space

Given that eMachines E525 is a "workhorse" and is used mainly for office needs, the future user should pay attention to the keyboard and touchpad. Something negative about them is, in principle, impossible.

The keyboard is usual and consists of 99 buttons, has an additional block with a numerical section. Its use is quite convenient, and for an addictive to the new keyboard will leave any couple of tens of minutes, so there should not be any problems with typing.

Touchpad also has a standard dimensions 86 x 43 mm with a clearly marked vertical scrolling area. The control unit itself is shifted slightly to the left of the center (the left-handers will appreciate this option), and the "mouse" buttons click easily and clearly, the same happens with the cursor, it does not twitch and obediently follows the movements of the user. This effect is achieved thanks to the super smooth surface of the sensor.

Performance

The model eMachines E525 can be executed in several variations and differ in the capacity of the hard drive and the amount of RAM. The most modern and maximum equipment - the flagship of the line - Acer eMachines E525-902G25Mi Yota 4G WiMAX.

The kernel core in the device is a processor from Intel - Celeron 900 with a maximum frequency of 2.2 gigahertz. The laptop is equipped with 2 GB of RAM with the ability to expand to 4 GB. The laptop has a small 250 Gb hard drive and an integrated graphics chip from the same Intel - GMA X4500. Such a graphics engine, of course, is not suitable for modern games, but for the performance of ordinary office and household tasks the chip is quite fit.

Numerous user reviews about laptops on specialized Internet portals are mostly in a positive way. The only thing that literally every second owner of this laptop advises - do not forget to serve the eMachines E525 stuffing in time (cleaning from dust, checking the processor paste and, if necessary, replacing the battery).

Ports
