Chassis, connections, screen of the Acer Aspire 17 A17-51GM-73RH

With its thin and light dark silver design despite its large format, this versatile laptop PC has an elegant appearance.

This Ultrabook integrates good connectivity including 1 USB-C Thunderbolt 4, Bluetooth 5.1 and Wi-Fi 6E ax modules to communicate and connect remotely wirelessly, a practical HDMI video output to easily connect it to a TV or monitor for example, an audio port or 2 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) ensuring transfers up to 5 times faster than USB 2.0 if you connect USB 3.0 devices.

A fingerprint reader is integrated, you can authenticate biometrically through the Windows Hello functionality.

When you have difficulty distinguishing the keys of the chiclet keyboard, you can activate its backlighting system.

The 17-inch screen benefits from vertical and horizontal viewing angles thanks to its IPS technology.
In addition, it lends itself well to displaying videos due to its 16:9 format, and more generally Full HD content.
As it has an anti-reflective coating, the screen is also more readable than a shiny panel in a bright environment (e.g. outdoors) while being more restful for the eyes during prolonged use.

Performance, autonomy of the Acer Aspire 17 A17-51GM-73RH

The Acer Aspire 17 A17-51GM-73RH is aimed at those looking for a thin and light 17-inch multimedia-oriented portable all-purpose laptop.

Whether with the Iris Xe graphics module housed in the processor or the dedicated GeForce RTX 2050 graphics card on board, you can watch HD photos and videos.
The GeForce RTX 2050 is in fact activated by Optimus technology to carry out graphics work deemed too heavy for the Intel Iris Xe.

Because Optimus favors operation on the Iris Xe as much as possible despite its much lower performance since it consumes little energy which promotes autonomy.

In terms of autonomy, count on around 6 hours of battery operation in light use for this Ultrabook whose thinness and light weight make transport easier.
If it is not the most nomadic by nature due to its large format, it may interest some in search of a Student laptop of 17 inches not needing a lot of autonomy.

In any case, NVIDIA Optimus technology automatically switches in real time between the GeForce RTX 2050 and the Iris Xe. The GeForce RTX 2050 is activated when it comes to performing graphics tasks that are too heavy for the Iris Xe, typically for gaming.

Thanks to the GeForce RTX 2050 ray tracing with older generation NVIDIA Ampere architecture, you can play modest games.

The GeForce RTX 2050 also accelerates multimedia processing under software taking advantage of multi-cores and RAM, such as the Adobe, Vegas or VSDC suite.

Creative people will appreciate it, especially as their processing will also benefit from the large amount of integrated 32 GB RAM – twice as much as the average.

Suffice to say that this RAM allows you to see things coming and calmly accompany the processor, a low-consumption Intel Core 7 150U Raptor Lake Refresh with 10 hybrid cores which houses the Iris Xe within it.

The heart of this laptop delivers very good performance in everyday use. And is interesting for creators to carry out small processing operations using multi-core (in addition to RAM), such as light to modest photo editing or video conversions in cases where the GeForce RTX 2050 is also used.

The storage is up to par for creators since it is entrusted to an SSD with a high capacity of 1000 GB. You can therefore install and store multiple software and files including personal creations.

An SSD is energy efficient, shock resistant, silent and fast.
As a result, it reinforces responsiveness and fluidity on a daily basis, which translates in particular into rapid starts/stops, processing and launches of applications, just like the arrival on the cards of online games.

As for heating and noise, expect them to be present when this versatile laptop PC (e.g. gaming, processing) is heavily used.
If necessary, we can add a ventilated support (remember to check the dimensions carefully!).
