Acer Aspire 5310 laptop runs Windows 7 like a dream
I got tired of waiting for Vista to boot up and shut down, so I've just finished setting up Windows 7 on my Acer Aspire 5310 laptop. I can only applaud the quality of the beta once again as it managed to install every single device, including my wired and wireless network adapters. I was able to log in to my WPA2 wireless before the installer was even completely finished! On top of that the laptop boots up and shuts down within 30 seconds as opposed to the 2 or 3 minutes it took on Vista.CPU: Intel Celeron M 520 (1.6 Ghz, 533 Mhz FSB, 1 MB L2 cache)HD: Toshiba 80 GBGraphics: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950Memory: 1 GB DDR 2O/S: Windows 7 32-bitsRunning it on full visual details is asking just a bit too much of the on-board graphics accelerator, but tweaking it down a bit or reverting to the Windows Classic theme makes it run like a dream again. It's highly responsive, loads programs in a flash and completely destroys the Vista installation that still disgraced the system the day before! It consumes about 50% less of my system resources and even my WEI score has gone up with approximately 50%.Running Vista and you have a spare partition, system or laptop catching dust somewhere? Install Windows 7. Do it. Now. Your mother would be proud of you.
