Design

Acer knows how to read the consumer's mind; this time around, it is going thinner and lighter. That means you can fit it well in your backpack and attend your business with ease. The narrow-bezel is reasonable at this modern computing age. Its shimmering silver color blends with a metal lid to produce elegant brushed texture.

Acer Aspire 5 laptop was built to make travel enthusiasts achieve an everyday aspect of computing. 3.97(1.8 kg) pounds with a measurement of 14.31x9.86x0.71 inch is portable for real. Don’t expect some jaw-dropping fervid design such as “swift, spin and switch.” Acer has kept it traditional with Aspire 5, which is clamshell-style open/close.

Features and Performance

You will have a smile immediately you start Acer Aspire 5 because it clocks up to 3.9 GHz. Thanks to the 8 GB of RAM, which cools things when you are in a multi-tasking mode. Regular computer users will find 8 Generation Intel Core i5 8265u Processor a little bit faster. Unlike its predecessor, which was struggling at 3.4 GHz, 8 Gen i5 8265u “whiskey lake” chip is a monster. Expect no tension when working on a regular task such as web browsing, video playback, text, and alike. For heavier stuff like video editing, the chip is promising, but to some extent. Game enthusiasts can play most modern games that are light without affecting performance.

Moving on, Aspire Acer 5 connectivity is a decent one with more options at your disposal. Talk of Gigabit-class 2x2 Wi-Fi 802.11ac for faster data transmission speed. We also have USB type-C that carries more power and USB 3.1, which delivers faster speed. Others include Bluetooth 5 and HDMI ports.

Having a Full HD (1920x1080) will probably fire your enthusiasm when watching “League of legends.” It is commonly called 1080p, known for a sharper display. Acer Aspire 5 uses Intel UHD 620 graphics, which can crunch “Minecraft” at a high frame rate.

In low light-room or dark environment, expect to continue coding if you’re a programmer. Acer brings you backlit keyboard, which is satisfying versatility. Acer also values your security; in general, that is why it comes with a fingerprint reader.

Conclusion

Acer aspires 5 is an excellent machine to try for beginners and professionals alike. 8th Gen chip can kick most modern apps at rocket speed. If you’re on a budget and craving for performance, have a date with this laptop.
