Chassis, connections, screen of the Acer Aspire 17 A17-51M-97AE

Cooled using the TwinAir system via 2 fans, 2 heat pipes and air vents, this laptop PC has an elegant and discreet look thanks to its dark silver aluminum design, which is relatively thin and light for a large format model.

The connectivity integrated into this laptop is good, consisting of Wi-Fi 6E ax and Bluetooth 5.3 modules for wireless remote connections and communications, an audio port, a practical HDMI video output for easily connecting it to a TV or a monitor in particular, but also 2 USB 3.0 and 1 very fast USB-C Thunderbolt 4, useful for connecting peripherals such as a mouse, a headset, a printer or external storage.

Via the integrated fingerprint reader you can authenticate biometrically using Windows Hello.

The chiclet keyboard comes with a backlighting solution that simply needs to be activated in a dimly lit environment to better distinguish the keys.

Equipped with significant vertical and horizontal viewing angles thanks to its IPS technology, the Full HD screen lends itself well to displaying videos due to its 16:9 format.
As it has an anti-reflective treatment, the screen is also more readable than a shiny panel in a bright environment (eg near a window).

Performance, autonomy of the Acer Aspire 17 A17-51M-97AE

The Acer Aspire 17 A17-51M-97AE is a thin and light large-format, high-performance, creative-oriented portable laptop.

As it is equipped with a large amount of 32 GB RAM, double the average, this laptop is very comfortable multitasking.
Especially since it is powered by an Intel Core i9-13900H processor, certainly of an older generation Raptor Lake but which houses no less than 14 hybrid cores in addition to the Iris Xe graphics module.

The processing carried out by these components is carried out faster than with 16/24 GB DDR4/5 as well as a classic Quad/Hexa Core. We strongly feel the difference in areas requiring RAM and CPU resources that take advantage of multi-core, such as video editing or photo editing.

Demanding users will be delighted with the solid general performance provided by this laptop PC which is very responsive and fluid on a daily basis, ensuring quick starts/stops as well as processing and launching applications or even arriving on the cards for online games.

Indeed, despite the absence of a dedicated onboard graphics card, you can watch HD photos and videos but also play light games thanks to the Iris Xe.

The storage is up to par since the silent, energy-efficient and very fast SSD offers a high capacity of 1000 GB capable of housing multiple applications and diverse and varied files, such as personal creations. And this while many (much) more expensive models are satisfied with 512 GB.

As for autonomy, count on around 6 hours of battery operation in light use for this Ultrabook, certainly not the most nomadic there is due to its large format but whose transport is nevertheless facilitated by its finesse and its controlled weight.
Some looking for a student laptop of 17 inches may therefore be interested.
In any case, expect temperatures and noises to rise in the event of heavy use of this PC, to which we can also add a ventilated support to control your heating (remember to check the dimensions carefully!).
