Background and Identification

The Acer Extensa 4630z is a laptop computer introduced by Acer in 2008. The Acer Extensa series is a line of Acer laptops designed for business and office users. The Extensa series includes several notebooks with different designs, functionality, and performance.

The Acer Extensa 4630z is shipped with one of two Intel Pentium Dual-Core Mobile processors, either the T3200 or T3400 model. It includes an Intel GL40 Express chipset and up to 2 GB of installed memory. The computer can support up to 4 GB of memory, so the installed memory can be expanded using SD card slots. The computer’s 14.1-inch display has a resolution of 1280 by 800 pixels. The 4630z model is sold with a hard disk drive of 120 GB, 160 GB, 250 GB, 320 GB, or larger.

The Extensa line includes the Precision Touchpad, which includes a pinch-to-zoom feature. The touchpad is designed to reduce unintended taps and stray cursor movements. Most Extensa computers include a media drive that can be used for playing movies and storing data such as homework, financial documents, and family photos. The Extensa line is Skype Certified, meaning its hardware is optimized to reduce gaps and lags in speech and minimize background noise.

Acer laptops include the name “Acer” in printed lowercase letters in the center of the laptops’ bottom bezel and on the left-center of the laptops’ backing.
