Performance, battery life of Acer Aspire 5 A515-56-52S4
The Acer Aspire 5 A515-56-52S4 is a 15-inch High Definition laptop computer intended for versatile mobile use.
It stands out for its good amount of RAM of 16 GB above average and very appreciable in multitasking. It goes well with the Tiger Lake low power Quad Core i7-1165G7 processor.
Thanks to this core, this thin and light laptop delivers good general performance capable of satisfying many users.
However, it should be borne in mind that to often perform work requiring processor resources, it is better to turn to a PC based on a non-low consumption processor.
In any case, despite the fact that it does not embed a dedicated graphics card, many people will appreciate being able to play titles that are not too greedy in 3D resources in addition to being able to watch photos and videos.
It is thanks to the services of the Iris Xe solution that we tested , integrated into the Quad Core i7-1165G7 Tiger Lake. Because they are much superior to those of the classic Intel UHD 620.
On the storage side, Acer opts for an SSD that rivals the standard hard drives with its 512 GB while being silent, more resistant to shocks, more energy efficient and much faster.
Result thanks to the SSD, we benefit from a much better fluidity and responsiveness on a daily basis than with a simple hard drive. Thus, for example, we obtain much faster starts / stops, processing and launches of software or even a faster arrival on the cards of online games.
What if we need more space? A 2.5 inch slot is free to add a second SSD or a hard drive. We also have the possibility of relying on an external storage unit. Favoring a USB 3.0 / USB-C device then represents an interesting option to benefit from fast transfers.
As for battery life, expect around 7 hours of battery operation in light use for this versatile Ultrabook whose transport is facilitated by the controlled weight and finesse.
