Performance, battery life of the Acer Aspire 5 A515-56-50YW
The Acer Aspire 5 A515-56-50YW is a slim and light 15-inch High Definition laptop designed for everyday versatile use on the go.
It incorporates a good amount of 8 GB RAM associated with an Intel Tiger Lake low consumption Quad Core i5-1135G7 processor. This core delivers good overall performance that is suitable for many users.
And all the more so since the Core i5 integrates the Iris Xe graphics part (tested by us) . However, the performance of the Iris Xe is significantly superior to those of the classic Intel UHD 620.
In practice, thanks to the Iris Xe, you can look at photos and videos of course, but also play titles that do not require too much graphic resources.
As a bonus, the on-board SSD storage clearly reinforces the responsiveness and fluidity in daily tasks compared to a hard drive.
Thus, thanks to the SSD, we take advantage for example of much faster starts / stops, processing and launches of software, or even a faster arrival on the cards of online games.
Because an SSD is much faster than a hard drive but also less energy, more robust and silent. Here it offers a capacity of 512 GB similar to the standard of hard disks.
Of course, if you need more space, you can use an external storage unit such as a USB-C / USB 3.0 device to take advantage of fast transfers.
As for the battery life, bet on approximately 7 hours on battery in light use for this versatile Ultrabook whose transport is facilitated by the weight contained and the smoothness.
