Acer Aspire 5 A515-56

workhorse

Aspire is perhaps one of the most famous and popular laptop lines in the Acer range. And this is not surprising, because most people first of all need simple working laptops with not too slow hardware, a simple display and an adequate price tag. That laptop in the eyes of many buyers is the new Acer Aspire 5.

Keep up with the times

However, it would be wrong to evaluate the new Aspire model as an ordinary workhorse without frills. Acer has seriously upgraded the laptop on almost all fronts, equipping it with modern wireless modules and ports (there are USB-C and USB A with a bandwidth of 5 Gbps. The rest of the set of additional features includes a TPM security module, a kensington lock mount, LAN- port, which many laptop manufacturers are now refusing.

Optimal Performance

In terms of hardware, they also promise a rich choice without the need to squeeze yourself. While the low-power Intel Pentium chip could be found in the 2019 models, the updated version will use only the "stones" of the Intel Core and AMD Ryzen series. Also, the top-end equipment boasts an NVIDIA GeForce MX450, a capacious 1 TB SSD and 24 gigabytes of RAM. So far, we have seen such amounts of RAM mainly in gaming laptops.

Classic forms

At the same time, the appearance of the laptop has not undergone practically any changes. This is still a strict, modern, but not too flashy laptop in a classic 15-inch form factor. The thickness of the case and the weight of the laptop are within the normal range, the frames on the sides are thin, but the top and bottom are really large. The main innovation was the ergonomic hinge, which, when the display is opened, slightly raises the upper part of the case above the table, to some extent replacing the laptop stand.
