Chassis, connectors, screen of the Acer Aspire 5 A515-56G-557K
It sports a sober and elegant design with its thin and light light silver chassis that rises forward when opened.
This versatile Ultrabook benefits from good connectivity including Bluetooth 5.1 and Wi-Fi ax modules(newer and more powerful than Wi-Fi ac)to communicate and connect remotely wirelessly, a convenient HDMI video output to easily connect it to a TV or monitor for example, Ethernet and audio ports, 1 USB-C or 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 connected to it.
It is possible to authenticate biometrically via Windows Hello technology because a fingerprint reader is integrated.
The chiclet keyboard is obviously adorned with a practical key backlight solution to better distinguish them in low light atmospheres.
Equipped with Acer Bluelight Shield technology that attenuates up to 30% of the blue light it emits, the screen lends itself well to the display of High Definition content such as videos due to its precise Full HD definition and its 16/9th format. Thanks to its anti-reflective treatment, the screen offers better visibility in bright environments (e.g. outside) than a shiny slab. In addition, as it adopts IPS technology, the screen has significant vertical and horizontal viewing angles.
Performance, battery life of the Acer Aspire 5 A515-56G-557K
The Acer Aspire 5 A515-56G-557K is for those looking for a 15-inch High Definition laptop for versatile use on the go.
The overall performance it provides is likely to satisfy many users as it incorporates 16 GB of RAM coupled with a low-power Tiger Lake Quad Core i5-1135G7 processor.
However, in order to often perform processor-intensive processing, it is better to opt for a PC with a non-low-power processor.
The Core i5-1135G7 incorporates the Iris Xe,a graphics solution whose performance is superior to that of the classic Intel UHD 620.
In practice thanks to the Iris Xe, you can watch photos and videos but also run games not too greedy in 3D resources.
This is also the case with the dedicated GeForce MX450 graphics card on board which certainly consumes more power but is more powerful to support a little more games.
NVIDIA Optimus technology automatically switches in real time between the Iris Xe and the GeForce MX450, the former being preferred to the maximum despite its more modest performance to promote autonomy.
In this regard, count on about 7 hours of battery operation in light use for this versatile Ultrabook whose controlled weight and finesse facilitate transport.
In any case, demanding users will appreciate to find in terms of storage a 1 TB SSD, a large capacity rivaling what the vast majority of hard drives offer.
Let’s recall on this subject the advantages of an SSD compared to a hard disk: greater resistance to shocks, silence of operation, lower energy consumption or even greater velocity.
Concretely, the SSD guarantees a much better fluidity and responsiveness to use than a simple hard disk. Thanks to the SSD, we benefit in particular from much faster starts/stops, processing and software launches, or a faster arrival on the maps of online games.
