Chassis, connectors, screen of Acer Aspire 5 A515-56G-57BP
With its light silver casing that rises forward when opened, this slim and light versatile Ultrabook sports a sleek, understated design.
In terms of connectivity, this versatile Ultrabook is well equipped with its USB-C, its Wi-Fi ax wireless modules ( more recent and efficient than Wi-Fi ac ) and Bluetooth 5.0 for remote connections and communications, its HDMI video output useful for easy connection to a TV or monitor for example, its Ethernet and audio ports but also its 3 USBs all compatible with both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0, the USB 3.0 guaranteeing transfers taking place up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if you plug in USB 3.0 peripherals.
As a fingerprint reader is integrated, we can authenticate by biometric recognition via Windows Hello technology.
A backlighting system also equips the chiclet keyboard, which is practical for distinguishing its keys in the event of reduced ambient light.
The screen lends itself well to the display of videos and more generally High Definition content because it adopts a 16: 9 format and a precise Full HD definition. It also has significant horizontal and vertical viewing angles thanks to its IPS technology. Thanks to its anti-reflective treatment, the screen is also more readable than a shiny panel in a bright environment (eg outdoors).
In addition, Acer Bluelight Shield technology ensures that the blue light emitted by the screen is attenuated by up to 30%.
Performance, battery life of Acer Aspire 5 A515-56G-57BP
The Acer Aspire 5 A515-56G-57BP is a 15-inch High Definition laptop computer intended for general-purpose mobile use.
It benefits from a large capacity SSD storage of 1 TB that easily rivals hard drives.
But as a reminder, an SSD is silent while being more resistant to shocks than a hard drive, more energy efficient and much faster.
Concretely thanks to the SSD, we benefit from much faster software / game launches as well as processing and starts / stops, or even a faster arrival on the cards of online games.
The SSD goes well with the heart of this thin and light laptop which delivers good general performance able to suit a number of users.
It consists of 8 GB of RAM and a low-power Tiger Lake i5-1135G7 Quad Core processor.
The latter has the advantage of integrating the Intel Iris Xe graphics solution that we tested . However, this allows you to watch photos and videos but also to play titles that are not too demanding because it is significantly more efficient than the classic Intel UHD 620.
The GeForce MX350, also on board, is a more powerful and greedy dedicated graphics card on which NVIDIA Optimus technology switches to perform graphics processing deemed too heavy for the Iris Xe.
However, it should be kept in mind that if we aim to carry out work that requires regular processor / graphics resources, it is better to turn to a PC with a non-low consumption processor and / or a card. adequate dedicated graphics.
In any case, nomads will appreciate that this versatile Ultrabook can last about 7 hours on battery in light use and that its transport is facilitated by its finesse and controlled weight.
