With its thin and light design, powerful wireless connectivity, high-end graphics, high-definition panel plus superb sound, the new Aspire 1551 is perfect to let you enjoy fantastic HD entertainment whenever you want. But you can also count on it for advanced processing and longer battery life. More performance and more time: the ideal mix for a rich user experience.
