Chassis, connections, screen of the Acer Aspire 5 A515-57-524W

Cooled by 2 fans, 2 copper heat pipes and air vents, this versatile laptop with a thin and light dark silver design has an elegant and discreet look.

This Ultrabook offers good connectivity including 1 USB-C Thunderbolt 4, Wi-Fi 6 ax and Bluetooth 5.2 wireless modules for remote connections and communications, Ethernet and audio ports, a practical HDMI video output for easy connection to a monitor or a TV for example or even 3 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) guaranteeing transfers taking place up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if you plug in USB 3.0 devices.

As a biometric reader is integrated, you can authenticate biometrically by fingerprint recognition using Windows Hello technology.

A backlighting solution equips the chiclet keyboard. Once activated, you can better see the keys in a dimly lit environment.

Thanks to its IPS technology, the screen has significant vertical and horizontal viewing angles while its anti-reflective treatment makes it more readable than a shiny panel in a bright environment (eg outdoors).

Performance, battery life of the Acer Aspire 5 A515-57-524W

The Acer Aspire 5 A515-57-524W may appeal to those who wish to have a relatively thin and light 15-inch laptop PC with high processor performance.

It is in fact driven by a Core i5-12450H, an Intel Alder Lake processor with 8 hybrid cores which delivers good general performance capable of satisfying many users, especially as it is associated with a good amount of RAM of 16 GB.

The Core i5 reveals its full potential in software that takes advantage of multi-cores and RAM, such as photo editing or video editing.
As a bonus, thanks to the Iris Xe graphics solution that it accommodates, you can watch photos and videos but also play modest games.

Logically, the storage here is entrusted to an SSD that is more robust than a hard drive while being silent, less energy consuming and much faster. Its capacity of 512 GB is equivalent to the standard for hard drives.
However, if you need more space, you can use an external storage unit such as a USB 3.0/USB-C device to benefit from fast transfers.

Still, an SSD guarantees much better fluidity and responsiveness on a daily basis than a hard drive. Thanks to the SSD we obtain faster processing as well as starts/stops and software launches, or even faster arrival on online game cards.

As for autonomy, count on around 7 hours of battery operation in light use for this versatile Ultrabook whose transport is made easier by the light weight and finesse. Something to interest some who wish to equip themselves with a Student laptop.
