The single- and dual-channel mode results of our test model are displayed below. 1.1 GHz) than the Macbook and Aspire chips.Īfter installing the second RAM module, we ran the 3DMark benchmarks again on our test module, and the 3DMark 2011 benchmark score rose by 31% to 1,221 points.
The Zenbook achieved the best results out of all the competitors thanks to its IGP being 100 MHz faster (1.2 GHz vs. Our test model can also use dual-channel mode, but only after a RAM module is installed in the empty, secondary RAM slot. This puzzle is easily solved: the three faster devices were working in dual-channel mode, which allows them to use their IGPs more efficiently and thus score higher results.
The 3DMark 2011 benchmark showed that the Aspire does not perform as well as the Acer Aspire V3-371-55GS, which is equipped with the HD Graphics 4400. In comparison to the MacBook and the Zenbook, the results (based on 3DMark benchmarks) of our test model were a little disappointing. The IGP runs at 1.1 GHz and supports DirectX 11. The first two are the Apple MacBook Pro Retina 13 and the Asus Zenbook UX301LA. The Intel Iris Graphics 5100 is a rarity: the test model is the third device we have tested so far which uses this IGP. The Aspire V3-371-38ZG is identical in build to the Acer Aspire V3-371-55GS, which is why this review does not include the following sections, all of which can be found in the in-depth review of the Aspire V3-371-55GS: case, connectivity, display, input devices and speakers. Acer's lowest-priced Zenbook, the UX303LA-R5094H, is an example: at 699 Euros, it is about 300 Euros less expensive than our 1,000 Euro V3-371-38ZG GeForce graphics card-equipped test model.
The Ideapad model we tested was equipped with a touchscreen, but there are similar matte (non-touch) screen configurations that are significantly cheaper. The competition includes the Lenovo Ideapad U330p and the Asus Zenbook UX303LN. We will find out in this review if our V3-371-38ZG test model is really more powerful than previous models. The Aspire V3-371-38ZG is an effort to surpass its predecessors by offering the more powerful Iris Graphics 5100 IGP. The previous editions include the Acer Aspire V3-371-55GS, the Acer Aspire V3-331-P982, and the Acer Aspire V3-371-36M2, all of which made a good impression. These models offer matte screens, decent keyboards, and good battery life. The Aspire V3-371-38ZG is the fourth and newest member of this 13.3-inch Acer laptop series.
