Apart from this texture and its lid, there is nothing too unusual about 5551. Naturally, it features AMD / ATI in the form of a Mobility Radeon HD 4250, while Home Premium Windows 7 will take full advantage of 4GB DDR3 expected. You can also get a 320GB hard drive-DVD burner. Wireless N is almost guaranteed these days, but Bluetooth is missing.

When it comes to designing the Aspire 5551 is banal, but generally attractive. It lacks the brushed metal cover some of his brothers and sisters as the timeline Aspire 4810T, Acer but at least we were not subjected to fingerprint magnet brilliant as usual many competitors have. Instead, it has a textured finish is very shiny which was remarkably similar and equally robust to that found on the Sony VAIO VGN-NS20.

This positive orientation design continues on the inside of the laptop where the only elements are brilliant bezel of the screen (only interrupted by discreet chrome surrounds 1.3MP webcam) and a band very close to the banks of the lower half of the machine. As is often the case if, near a mirror reflectivity of the screen will be a nightmare on sunny days working on the train, for example.

Above the keyboard is a matte black section Speaker Black patterned, while the keyboard and surrounding palm rest is finished in brushed bronze false both pleasant to the touch and does a good job of hiding fingerprints or Marks sweaty palms. The power button, with his signature power icon form, LED sport not too bright blue one that we like, and again emphasizes the overall design underestimated.

As the specifications, connectivity, this laptop is adequate but not exciting. Three USB ports are connected via digital (HDMI) and analog (VGA) video output, 3.5mm headphone and microphone jacks (with the former doubling as a digital audio output), a memory card reader and a Gigabit Ethernet.
