Acer (Philippines), Inc., the local office of Acer, Inc., has brought to the Philippine shore a laptop it believes is affordable by parents and “will truly rock any student’s academic world.”

Described by Acer marketing guys as a digital student assistant, the eMachines eMD725 is powered by an Intel Pentium dual-core T4200 (2.0GHz, 1MB cache, 800MHz FSB processor with a Mobile Intel GL40 Express chipset and a 2GB DDR2 667 memory that’s upgradeable to 4GB using two soDIMM modules.

eMachines, a leading retail PC brand, is part of the Acer family of technology products.

“This digital assistant helps a lot in terms of making the studious student’s life trouble-free and unproblematic,” a company press release sent to InfoTech said.

It continued, “Storing a student’s school work, whether word processing files, school presentations
in Power Point, or even digital pictures while on ‘gimik’ mode with the school “barkada” is definitely no problem with the eMD725’s bulky SATA hard drive that comes in 160, 250 or 320 gigabyte drives.”

Watching movies or playing games during student break time on the eMD725’s 14-inch high-brightness, high-resolution TFT LCD display, it said is going to be “with hardly any problem.” This is viewing experience is possible by the video display graphics resolution courtesy of an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500 MHD with up to 1759MB DVMT 5.0 (64MB dedicated, up to 1659MB  shared) of memory.

Connecting to the Internet to do research is assured to be a breeze for the digitally-oriented student by using either the built-in LAN (10/100) or the built-in wireless LAN (802.11b/g) Wi-Fi certified network of the eMD725 that can connect to every available Wi-Fi hotspot in the metropolis.
