About this deal

It was atrocious, with narrow and inaccurate colors, low brightness, and a horribly low contrast ratio. When it comes to the huge field of technology, I'm currently also interested in specializing in Java programming.

The contrast was higher than the previous model at 740:1, below our preferred 1,000:1 but again, not terrible for a budget machine. Pay in 3 is a form of credit, may not be suitable for everyone and use may affect your credit score. Colors weren’t very wide at just 65% of sRGB and 48% of AdobeRGB, but accuracy wasn’t terrible at a DeltaE of 2. Featuring the next generation in connectivity: Wi-Fi 6E,1,3 perfect for high-speed file sharing and smooth 4K streaming, and Bluetooth® 5. Two downward-firing speakers on the front bottom of the chassis provide audio that doesn’t get very loud and, even so, has some distortion when turned all the way up.Furthermore, the hands are also offset to the left when typing, so the distance to the touchpad is short here at least. Step up your game with an NVIDIA RTX dedicated GPU, which is the most advanced platform for ray tracing and AI technologies that are revolutionizing the ways we play and create. The latest 12th Gen Intel® Core™ or AMD Ryzen™ 5000 Series1 Processors power the Aspire 5 for multitasking and productivity. In terms of contrast, the panel of the Acer Aspire 5 A517 scores below average when pitted against the comparison models. With its Intel Core i7-1165G7 and GeForce MX350 paired with 16 GB of RAM, it's much more powerful on paper.

Windows multi-touch gestures, such as using a five-finger pinch to minimize all open windows, can be hard to use because of the lack of space. The Aspire 5 is unlikely to make it through a full day’s work unless your workflow is exceptionally light. As expected, it leaves the less powerful competition, such as the smaller Acer Aspire 5 A515-56-511A with the Intel Iris Xe Graphics G7, a good deal behind. Either way, these are laptops meant for simple tasks and productivity in work — not more intense workloads like AAA games or 4K video editing. A bit more expensive than the Aspire 5, but the Zenbook 13 provides a bright, colorful OLED screen, and impressive 13-hour battery life - all wrapped up in a lightweight ultrabook that weighs just 1.The 2022 Aspire 5 saw only a few design changes from the previous version, including a sleeker keyboard deck and a switch to a magnesium-aluminum alloy in the lid. Overall, the speakers don't reach particularly high volume levels, and they also lack bass almost completely.

I used Acer’s thermal performance tuning utility and found little difference between the laptop’s balanced and performance modes, but I reported both results in the table below. As for ports and connectivity, on the right hand side of the chassis you'll discover a plain old USB Type-A 2.

His first job involved using Macs for magazine sub-editing and typesetting, which led to the realisation that these computer-thingies might actually turn out to be useful after all.

The speakers are a good match for podcasts, YouTube, and some streaming, as dialogue always stands out. Intel ® technologies’ features and benefits depend on system configuration and may require enabled hardware, software or service activation.

What's more, as tested this is the 14-inch Acer Aspire 5 A514-52-582Y model (15-inch models and variants running AMD processors are also available), so despite the mediocre screen to body ratio this remains a pretty portable device.The sound is fine for just watching some videos on YouTube, but if you want to listen to some decent music then you’ll need to plug some headphones or speakers into the audio socket on the right-hand edge of the laptop. The Aspire 5’s display is fine for productivity work but doesn’t offer the colors needed for creative tasks. The biggest reason the last year’s Aspire 5 received a low score was its display, which was the worst we’ve seen in a laptop in years.
