A slim, versatile laptop with a sleek silver design, the 17-inch Full HD IPS anti-glare Acer Aspire 3 A317-53-5342 features fast 512 GB SSD storage for increased responsiveness. This laptop PC is efficient in current use thanks to its Quad Core i5 Intel Tiger Lake processor whose Iris Xe graphics solution is capable of running games that are not too greedy. But it skips a USB-C connection.

Chassis, connectors, screen of the Acer Aspire 3 A317-53-5342
With its fine light silver design, this laptop sports a sleek and understated design.
It is equipped with a connector consisting of a practical HDMI video output for easy connection to a TV or monitor, for example, Wi-Fi ac and Bluetooth 4.2 modules for wireless remote connection and communication, ports Ethernet and audio but also 3 USBs all compatible with both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0, USB 3.0 guaranteeing transfers up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if USB 3.0 devices are connected to it.
However, we regret the absence of USB-C and it remains to be seen whether the keyboard is equipped with a backlighting solution.
In any case, the screen will be of interest to lovers of High Definition content such as videos because it adopts a precise Full HD definition associated with a 16: 9 format. As it is anti-reflective, the screen also offers better visibility than a shiny panel in a bright environment (eg outdoors) while being more restful in prolonged use. Thanks to its IPS technology, the screen also has significant viewing angles, both horizontally and vertically. But its colorimetry is average, below that of more high-end IPS panels.
Performance, battery life of the Acer Aspire 3 A317-53-5342
The Acer Aspire 3 A317-53-5342 is a large-format laptop designed for everyday general-purpose use.
It delivers good overall performance capable of satisfying many users as it incorporates 8 GB of RAM associated with a low power Intel Tiger Lake i5-1135G7 Quad Core processor.
In addition, the latter houses within it the Iris Xe that we tested , a graphics solution whose performance is clearly superior to those of the classic Intel UHD 620.
Thus, thanks to this elegant fine silver laptop PC, you can of course watch photos and videos but also run games that do not consume too much 3D resources.
However, it is better to turn to a PC with a non-low consumption processor and / or an appropriate dedicated graphics card if you often intend to carry out heavy work in terms of processor and / or graphics resources. .
On the storage side, we find here a 512 GB SSD, a capacity in phase with the standard of hard disks.
However, compared to the latter, an SSD has several advantages: it is silent, less energy-consuming, more robust and much faster.
Concretely, thanks to the SSD, we benefit from much faster starts / stops as well as the processing and launching of software, or even a faster arrival on the cards of online games.
Obviously if you need more space, you can rely on an external storage unit such as a USB 3.0 device to enjoy fast transfers.
As for battery life, expect about 5 hours of battery operation in light use for this computer whose finesse is appreciable but the weight in line with its large format not the most easily transportable. That said, a 17 inch is comfortable for mainly sedentary use (eg at home)
