Acer Aspire 3500, Compal LA-2362 Schematic
The Acer Aspire 3500 is a low-cost laptop that was introduced in 2005. It was created to meet basic computer demands and is best suited for light use, such as internet surfing, word processing, and multimedia playing.
Design and Build Quality
The silver-gray plastic case of the Acer Aspire 3500 gives it a classic design. It has dimensions of 14.3 x 10.6 x 1.5 inches and weighs around 6.2 pounds. The build quality is good, though the plastic case seems thin.
Display
A 15-inch TFT display with a resolution of 1024 × 768 pixels is included with the laptop. The display quality is acceptable, and the colors are dull. The viewing angles are similarly restricted and best viewed from the front.
Performance
The Acer Aspire 3500 is powered by a 1.4GHz Intel Celeron M CPU and 256MB of DDR Memory. Today's standards must update this system and can only do basic functions like web surfing, word processing, and multimedia playing. The laptop includes a 40GB hard drive, which gives enough storage capacity for everyday purposes.
Graphics
The laptop's integrated Intel 82852/82855 GM/GME graphics card is inappropriate for gaming or graphics-intensive applications. It can play basic multimedia files but struggles with high-definition video.

Battery Life
The laptop comes with a 4-cell lithium-ion battery that gives approximately 2 hours of battery life with moderate use. This is lower than the industry average for laptops introduced around the same period.
