Massive Hard Disk

To remain parallel with the overall enhancements and developments brought in CPUs and systems, Acer has equipped Aspire 5542 with a massive 500GB hard disk. The hard disk doesn’t create noise or head dissipation rather it is pretty quite and lets you store tons of movies, pictures, videos, official documents and much more.

Display Screen and Graphics

Watching your favourite DVDs and CDs is surely a pleasurable experience on the 15.6” inch Widescreen display because the screen has been innovated with LED backlit and LCD technology.
