Chassis, connectors, screen of the Acer Aspire 5 A514-54-3960
With its thin and light design with a blue shell and silver interior, this versatile laptop sports an appearance that is at once original, sober and elegant.
It has good connectivity with its USB-C, its convenient HDMI video output to easily connect it to a TV or monitor for example, its Wi-Fi ax wireless modules(newer and more powerful than Wi-Fi ac)and Bluetooth 5.1 for remote connections and communications, its Ethernet and audio ports or its 3 USB all compatible with both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0, USB 3.0 guarantees transfers up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if USB 3.0 devices are plugged into it.
Authenticating by biometric recognition via Windows Hello technology is possible on this Ultrabook because it integrates a fingerprint reader.
We also appreciate being able to backlight the keys of the chiclet keyboard to better distinguish them in case of limited ambient light.
Thanks to its IPS technology, the screen has significant viewing angles, both horizontally and vertically. In addition, the screen will interest lovers of High Definition content such as videos because it adopts a precise Full HD definition associated with a 16/9th format. Thanks to its anti-reflective treatment, the screen also offers better visibility in bright environments (e.g. outside) than a shiny slab.
Performance, battery life of the Acer Aspire 5 A514-54-3960
The Acer Aspire 5 A514-54-3960 is a compact High Definition laptop designed for versatile everyday mobile use.
It benefits from SSD storage that rivals the standard of hard drives in terms of capacity with its 512 GB while being more robust, quiet, less energy consuming and much faster.
As a result, the SSD guarantees a much better fluidity and responsiveness on a daily basis than a simple hard disk, which implies for example much faster starts/stops and software launches, or a faster arrival on the cards of online games.
It is indeed possible to play if you are satisfied with light titles, thanks to the Intel G4 graphics solution that also allows you to watch photos and videos.
The Intel G4 takes place within the Core i3-1115G4, low-power Tiger Lake Intel processor here coupled with 8 GB of RAM to provide good performance in everyday use, such as office automation and Internet surfing.
It should be borne in mind, however, that the Core i3 shows its limits under CPU-intensive applications, like the AMD Ryzen 3 and less powerful processors obviously.
Of course in the event that the 512 GB of the SSD is too fair, we can use an external storage unit. Opting for a USB-C/USB 3.0 device is then an interesting solution to obtain fast transfers.
As for the autonomy, count on about 8 hours on battery in light use for this versatile Ultrabook whose compactness, finesse and lightness facilitates its transport.
