Chassis, connectors, screen of the Acer Aspire 5 A515-45-R7LC
It sports a discreet look with its thin and light black design.
This versatile laptop is well equipped in terms of connectivity with its USB-C, its convenient HDMI video output to easily connect it to a TV or monitor for example, its Wi-Fi ax wireless modules (newer and more powerful than Wi-Fi ac) and Bluetooth 5.1 for remote connections and communications, its Ethernet and audio ports without forgetting its 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 plugged into it.
As a fingerprint reader is integrated, one can authenticate by biometric recognition via Windows Hello technology.
The chiclet keyboard can be backlit which is very convenient to better discern its keys in case of reduced ambient light.
To watch photos and videos and more generally High Definition content, the screen is quite suitable because it adopts a 16/9th format associated with a precise Full HD definition. In addition, its viewing angles, both horizontal and vertical, are important thanks to its IPS technology. As it is anti-reflective, the screen is also more readable than a shiny slab in a bright environment (e.g. outside).
The Acer Bluelight Shield technology makes sure to attenuate up to 30% of the blue light it emits.
Performance, battery life of the Acer Aspire 5 A515-45-R7LC
The Acer Aspire 5 A515-45-R7LC is a 15-inch High Definition laptop for versatile on-the-go use.
Easy to carry thanks to its finesse and controlled weight, it will delight nomads all the more as it is able to hold about 8 hours on battery in light use in terms of autonomy.
However, this versatile laptop delivers good overall performance able to satisfy many users because it relies on 8 GB of RAM as well as a low-power AMD processor APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) Ryzen 5 5500U Lucienne Hexa Core which reveals all its potential under software exploiting multi-core, such as photo editing or video encoding.
As a bonus thanks to the Radeon Vega 7 housed in the Ryzen 5 Hexa Core, you can watch photos and videos but also indulge in light games while no dedicated graphics card is embedded.
The storage is entrusted to a silent SSD but also less energy consuming than a hard disk, silent and much faster.
In practice, the SSD thus ensures a much better fluidity and responsiveness on a daily basis, which translates into much faster starts/stops, processing and application launches, or a faster arrival on the cards of online games.
With its 512 GB, the SSD offers a capacity in line with the standard of hard drives. However, if you need more space, you can always rely on an external storage unit. Opting for a USB 3.0/USB-C device is then an interesting solution to enjoy fast transfers.
