Product Overview; Feature Comparison For 65X/67X Series Notebooks - Acer Extensa 670 Service Manual

1.3. Product Overview

The Extensa 67x Series follows the 65x Series. The Extensa 67x notebook series is similar in
construction and appearance, has similar operating controls and indicators and uses the same
software. It uses a similar startup self test program (described in detail in Chapter 5 of this manual).
There are differences at the board level which affect assembly/disassembly as described in Chapter
6 of this manual. There are also differences in Field-Replaceable Units (FRUs), particularly the
Printed Circuit Boards, so separate FRU lists and logic diagram sets are provided in the appendices.
Table 1-1 summarizes some of the major differences between the 67x Series and the 65x Series
Notebook Computers.
