Chassis, connectors, screen of the Acer Aspire 5 A517-52-50H1

With its slim design with a controlled weight light silver anodized aluminum, this versatile laptop sports a discreet and elegant look.

Its connectivity is good, including a convenient HDMI video output to easily connect it to a TV or monitor for example, Wi-Fi ax wireless modules (newer and more powerful than Wi-Fi ac) and Bluetooth 5.0 for remote connections and communications, 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.

As a fingerprint reader is integrated, biometric authentication is possible with this Ultrabook, and this via Windows Hello technology.

We also appreciate being able to backlight the keys of the chiclet keyboard to better discern them in case of reduced ambient light.

Fans of High Definition content such as videos will appreciate that the screen is adorned with a precise Full HD definition associated with a 16/9th format. Thanks to its anti-reflective treatment, the screen is also more readable than a shiny slab in bright environments (e.g. outside) and less tiring for the eyes over a long period. In addition, as it adopts IPS technology, the screen has significant viewing angles, both horizontally and vertically.

Performance, battery life of the Acer Aspire 5 A517-52-50H1

The Acer Aspire 5 A517-52-50H1 is a relatively thin and lightweight 17-inch High Definition laptop intended for common versatile use.

Many users will be satisfied with the overall performance delivered by this stylish silver Ultrabook as it incorporates a low-power Tiger Lake Quad Core i5-1135G7 Intel processor coupled with 8 GB of RAM.

If demanding gamers will pass their way, those who want to indulge in games not too greedy in graphics resources may be interested in this thin and light laptop while it does not embed a dedicated graphics card.

Because it benefits from the Intel Iris Xe, graphics part housed within the Quad Core i5 Tiger Lake which also obviously allows you to watch photos and videos.

Keep in mind, however, that to often perform CPU and/or graphics-intensive work, it is better to turn instead to a PC based on a low-power processor and/or an adequate dedicated graphics card.

SSD storage clearly enhances its fluidity and responsiveness on a daily basis compared to a simple hard drive. Thanks to the SSD, starts/stops are much faster, for example, as are software launches and processing, and we reach the maps of online games faster.

In this respect, we should highlight the advantages offered by an SSD compared to a hard disk: greater velocity, lower power consumption, silence of operation or even greater robustness.

It is an SSD with a capacity of 512 GB corresponding to what hard drives offer as standard in this area that is integrated here. However, in the event that additional space is needed, you can rely on an external storage unit. Favoring a USB 3.0 / USB-C device is then an interesting option to benefit from fast transfers.

If a 17-inch is not positioned as the most easily transportable there is, its finesse as well as its controlled weight facilitate its transport for a large format computer that is particularly comfortable in the context of a mainly sedentary use (eg at home). Side autonomy, bet on about 6 hours on battery in light use.
