Chassis, connectors, screen of the Acer Aspire 3 A317-53-55XA
With its fine light silver design, this versatile laptop adopts a sober and elegant look.
The connectivity integrated into this laptop is correct, consisting of a convenient HDMI video output to easily connect this computer to a TV or monitor for example, Wi-Fi ac and Bluetooth 5.0 modules to connect and communicate remotely wirelessly, Ethernet and audio ports or 3 USB all compatible with both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0, USB 3.0 guarantees transfers made up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if USB 3.0 devices are plugged into it.
Too bad, however, to note the absence of USB-C, a more recent and powerful Wi-Fi ax module or a keyboard backlight solution.
Some will also regret that the screen adopts a definition of 1600×900 lower than Full HD, classic as well as its 16/9th format lending itself well to the playback of videos. Good point, the screen is treated anti-reflective which makes it less tiring for the eyes prolonged use than a shiny slab and more readable in bright environment (eg outside).
Performance, battery life of the Acer Aspire 3 A317-53-55XA
The Acer Aspire 3 A317-53-55XA is a 17-inch laptop intended for common versatile use.
In fact it relies on a good amount of RAM of 16 GB above average as well as a low-power Intel Tiger Lake Quad Core i5-1135G7 processor.
As a result, this laptop delivers good overall performance able to satisfy many users.
Especially since it allows you to watch photos and videos but also to play modest titles thanks to the Iris Xe graphics part integrated into the Core i5.
However, we benefit from opting instead for a PC based on a non-low-power processor and / or a dedicated graphics card appropriate if we plan to often perform work consuming processor and / or graphics resources.
As for storage, there is an SSD whose capacity of 512 GB corresponds to the standard among hard drives. However, in the event that you need more space, you can use an external storage unit. Favoring a USB 3.0 device is then an interesting option to benefit from fast transfers.
In any case, an SSD offers several advantages compared to a hard drive: greater robustness, quiet operation, lower power consumption and greater velocity.
As a result, thanks to the SSD, the starts/stops, processing and launching of software are much faster for example and we reach faster on the cards of online games.
As for the autonomy of this computer not the most easily transportable because of its large format even if we appreciate its finesse, bet on about 5 hours of operation on battery in light use. It should also be noted that a 17-inch has the advantage of being particularly comfortable in mostly sedentary use (eg at home).
