Acer Aspire 5 A515-57G-5452 Specs and Details

With its blue shell design and dark silver interior, it sports an appearance that is both original and elegant.

Thin and light, this versatile laptop is equipped with good connectivity with its USB-C Thunderbolt 4, its wireless modules Bluetooth 5.2 and Wi-Fi ax to communicate and connect remotely, its HDMI video output useful to easily connect it to a monitor or TV for example, its audio and Ethernet ports not to mention its 3 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) guaranteeing transfers made up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if USB 3.0 devices are plugged into it.

Using Windows Hello technology, biometric recognition can be authenticated using the built-in fingerprint reader.

You can also backlight the keys of the chiclet keyboard to better distinguish them in low light atmosphere.

Treated anti-reflective, the screen offers better visibility in bright environments (e.g. outside) than a shiny slab. It also lends itself very well to the display of High Definition content such as videos because of its Full HD definition and its 16/9th format. As it adopts IPS technology, the screen has significant viewing angles, both horizontal and vertical.

The Acer Aspire 5 A515-57G-5452 is aimed at those who want to acquire a relatively thin and lightweight 15-inch laptop intended for common versatile use.

On the autonomy side, bet on about 7 hours of operation on battery in light use for this versatile Ultrabook with original blue shell whose finesse and weight content facilitate transport.

Whether with the Iris Xe graphics solution integrated into the processor or the dedicated GeForce MX550 graphics card, you can watch photos and videos on this versatile laptop but also play modest titles.

NVIDIA Optimus technology actually switches automatically and in real time between the GeForce MX550 NVIDIA Turing and the Intel Iris Xe.
The Iris Xe is preferred to the maximum by Optimus to ensure the best possible autonomy because it is energy efficient.

The GeForce MX550 is in practice enabled by Optimus to perform graphics work deemed too heavy for the Intel Iris Xe, in fact when the performance of the latter proves insufficient to perform the desired tasks.

The Iris Xe is directly housed in the low-power Intel Alder Lake-U Core i5-1235U hybrid processor that delivers good overall performance that can suit many users, especially since it is associated with 16 GB of RAM.

This core can be enough to carry out modest multimedia work exploiting multi-core – and therefore the 10 cores of Alder Lake – and RAM, which is for example the case in photo editing or video encoding.

However, we benefit from turning instead to a PC with a non-low-power processor if we plan to often perform processor-intensive processing.

As for storage, Acer chooses a silent SSD while being more shock resistant than a hard drive, more energy efficient, quiet and much faster.

In practice, the SSD guarantees a much better responsiveness and fluidity on a daily basis than a simple hard disk. Thanks to the SSD, the starts/stops, processing and launches of software/games are much faster for example, and we reach faster on the maps of online games.

With its 512 GB, the SSD here integrated offers a capacity corresponding to the standard among hard drives. But if you need extra space, you can obviously rely on an external storage unit. Opting for a USB-C/USB 3.0 device is then an interesting solution to get fast transfers.
