Chassis, connectors, screen of the Acer Aspire 5 A517-52-34BG
It sports an elegant and discreet look with its fine light silver design.
The connectivity integrated into this versatile laptop is good, consisting of 1 USB-C, audio and Ethernet ports, Wi-Fi ax wireless modules (newer and more powerful than Wi-Fi ac) and Bluetooth 5.0 for remote connections and communications, a convenient HDMI video output to easily connect this computer to a TV or monitor for example but also 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 you plug in USB 3.0 devices.
Thanks to its IPS technology, the screen has significant viewing angles, both horizontal and vertical. As a bonus, the screen lends itself well to the display of videos and more broadly High Definition content because it adopts a 16/9th format associated with a precise Full HD definition higher than the 1600×900 standard at this price level. As it is anti-reflective, the screen is also less tiring for the eyes in prolonged use than a shiny slab and more readable in bright environments (e.g. outdoors).
Performance, autonomy of the Acer Aspire 5 A517-52-34BG
The Acer Aspire 5 A517-52-34BG is a relatively thin High Definition laptop designed for everyday versatile use.
It delivers good performance in common use as well as surfing the Internet and office automation because it relies on 8 GB of RAM coupled with a low-power Intel Tiger Lake Core i3-1115G4 processor.
And thanks to the Intel UHD G4 graphics module integrated into this Core i3, it is possible to watch photos and videos but also to indulge in light games.
Nevertheless, like the AMD Ryzen 3 and less powerful processor obviously, the Core i3-1115G4 shows its limits under CPU-intensive applications.
As for storage, Acer chooses a 512 GB SSD, a capacity in line with the standard of hard drives. However, if you need more space, you can obviously use an external storage unit such as a USB 3.0 / USB-C device to benefit from fast transfers.
In any case, an SSD offers several advantages compared to a hard drive, such as greater robustness, reduced energy consumption, quiet operation or greater velocity.
In practice, the SSD ensures much faster start/stop and software launches than a simple hard drive, or a faster arrival on the cards of online games.
More generally, the SSD guarantees a much better fluidity and responsiveness on a daily basis.
As for the autonomy of this mobile computer certainly thin but whose weight and large format does not position it by nature as the most easily transportable that is, bet on about 6 hours on battery in light use. In any case, a 17-inch has the advantage of being particularly comfortable for mainly sedentary use (e.g. at home).
