Acer Aspire 5 review: a $549 laptop that doesn’t completely suck

 

It gets the job done.

Affordable ; Good port selection ; Great audio ; Comfortable backlit keyboard

Bad battery life ; Off-center touchpad ; Feels like a budget laptop ; Bloatware

The Acer Aspire 5 is a portable and affordable Windows laptop powered by Intel’s Core i5-1035G1. It’s a decent purchase for its low price, but you’ll get better performance and battery life if you can get your hands on an AMD model.

Acer Aspire 5 review: Intel's Ice Lake CPUs come to the budget Aspire line

 

The latest of Acer's budget-minded Aspire 5 laptops is here, now with Ice Lake on board.

Sleek-looking shell ; Solid single- and multi-core performance ; Impressive array of ports ; Wi-Fi 6 support

Mediocre battery life ; Weighs 3.75 pounds, and feels like it ; No memory card reader

The Acer Aspire 5 delivers a robust selection of ports for a budget laptop, with one notable exception.

An affordable laptop with too many faults

Affordable ; Good sound quality ; Full selection of ports ; Upgradeable ; Runs cool

Middling performance ; Below-average battery life ; Mushy keyboard

The Acer's Aspire 5 is a solid workhorse laptop that won’t strain the purse strings but it has a few too many shortcomings.

Review: Acer Aspire 5 (A515-45-R3YX) | For Home Office And Studies Acer Aspire 5 (A515-45-R3YX)

 

You get what you pay for with this cheap PC - and more.

The screen is large, the processor is fast, and the price is razor sharp.

The graphics are dull, the screen is mediocre, and the case is made of plastic.

In this edition, the Acer Aspire 5 is a computer that provides plenty of computing power for very little money. With 16 gigabytes of RAM, you can run so many concurrent programs that few will experience bottlenecks. Regardless of the Radeon name, the...

Review: Acer's latest Aspire 5 isn't recommended due to the awful display

 

What was one of our top picks for a budget laptop has come up short in the latest refresh, delivering a display that no one should have to use. It's a shame; the rest of the laptop really isn't bad at all.

Upgradeable storage and RAM ; Generous port selection ; Solid performance from Core i3 CPU ; Clear, crisp audio ; Good camera

Loose touchpad rattles ; Dreadful display ; No keyboard backlight

Bottom line: Acer's Aspire 5 A515-56 has decent battery life and performance, as well as quality speakers and camera. Its internal hardware can be upgraded, and there are many ports for connecting accessories. However, most people should avoid the...

Acer Aspire 5 (A515-44G) review – an AMD combo that comes at a surprisingly low price

 

Ever since the new AMD Ryzen 4000U processors got released, manufacturers are slowly but surely flooding the market with AMD versions of their laptops. Ultimately, this is because of the superior p…

Lacks a Thunderbolt connector and an SD card reader;Covers only half of the colors of the sRGB gamut (LG LP156WFC-SPD5);The Radeon RX 640 is hardly any better than the integrated graphics card
