Product Information

The lid is still made out of aluminum, while the base is plastic. Well, we got some flex from both the lid, and the base, but the situation was slightly better with the lid. Acer Aspire 5 (A517-53G) is equipped with a Full HD IPS screen, model number BOE NV173FHM-N49 (BOE084E). Its diagonal is 17.3″ (43.94 cm), and the resolution – 1920 х 1080. Additionally, the screen ratio is 16:9, the pixel density – 127 ppi, and their pitch – 0.1995 x 0.1995 mm. The screen can be considered Retina when viewed from at least 69 cm (from this distance, the average human eye can’t see the individual pixels).

Maximize your multitasking and productivity with the latest 13th Gen Intel® Core™ Processors1 for accelerated performance. And with onboard LPDDR5 memory and M.2 SSD storage—the Aspire 5 is made to do it allStep up your game with an Aspire 5 equipped with an NVIDIA® GeForce RTX® dedicated GPU, which is the most advanced platform for ray tracing and AI technologies that are revolutionizing the ways we play and create. If 17-inch laptops are your vibe, you are at the right place. We have recently had a run of large notebooks, and we ran it through the LaptopMedia treatment of tests. Some of the results were expected, while others were impressive.

See more and do more with a 16:10 aspect ratio and narrow bezel—choose 14”, 15” or 17” 1080p IPS displays, or step it up with 1440p QHD—all equipped with Acer’s suite of visual technologies for dynamic color and viewing comfort. Along with not feeling great as you press your fingers onto the keys, it’s a bit fidgety too. For some reason, the keys are both quite spread out and small. Making the keys bigger is a blindingly obviously avenue for improving this laptop. Acer Aspire 5 (A517-53G)’s display doesn’t use PWM for brightness adjustment. This makes it comfortable for long working periods, without being harmful to your eyes in this aspect.Sound is of importance when communicating and listening. This laptop has been designed and certified to work with Cortana. For enhanced sound quality it also comes with Acer True Harmony. The Aspire 5 is far from a powerhouse and, unfortunately, struggles to even be a reasonable performer for much lower demand productivity tasking. In this test we use 100% on the CPU cores, monitoring their frequencies and chip temperature. The first column shows a computer’s reaction to a short load (2-10 seconds), the second column simulates a serious task (between 15 and 30 seconds), and the third column is a good indicator of how good the laptop is for long loads such as video rendering.
