2nd Generation Intel® Core™ Processor

The Acer Aspire 8951G comes equipped with the power of the second-generation Intel Core i7 Sandy Bridge processor, designed to speed up multitasking performance so you can work faster and have more fun, with less waiting. As well as faster performance, this processor enables better playback of high-definition content over the Internet, and allows you to enjoy the full Windows 7 Aero experience on your laptop.
The Intel Core i7 processor also includes Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0. This revolutionary technology dynamically boosts performance and energy efficiency when and where you need it most. By automatically increasing the processor frequency based on the workload and operating environment, you can get the power to perform the tasks that you need whilst seamlessly allowing inactive cores to lay dormant, meaning that they draw less power - increasing your battery life and reducing your carbon footprint.

Fast Memory and Expansive Storage

The Acer Aspire 8951G also includes fast DDR3 memory, which offers twice the speed of DDR2, ensuring faster, more efficient multitasking. Add that to a large-capacity 750 GB or 1.5 TB hard disk drive that provides generous storage for work and multimedia files, and you've got a notebook that can handle almost any task you care to throw at it.
A solid-state primary drive option provides reliable storage free of mechanical breakdown. A faster and more consistent read performance, quiet operation, and less weight make an SSD drive a desirable addition.
