Acer Aspire 5 A515-56-347N Review And Specification

 There are high expectations for the new Acer Aspire 5 A515-56-347N because its sibling, the Acer Aspire 5 A515-56-32DK, has been the best low-cost laptop available and is listed among the finest low-cost laptops. There is a need for good, reasonably priced laptops because everyone is working from home in some capacity and because students are getting ready for school. As you notice, most of them come with either a 12th generation Intel CPU or a brand-new AMD Ryzen processor.

The new Acer Aspire 5 lacks ultra-slim bezels, a sleek, contemporary chassis, and a smooth, low-profile keyboard, but that doesn't make it any less of a laptop to consider. The Acer A515-56-347N is a really good buy, as was already said. We considered it to be among the best laptops under $500 because of this.

Despite its outdated appearance, the Acer Aspire 5 is a reliable device. It has a quick m.2 SSD and an Intel Core 11th generation processor. When you add in an 8GB RAM, respectable battery life, and a 1080p IPS panel, you're left with nothing but total dependability.

Design and Features 

For a low-cost 15-inch laptop, the Aspire 5 weighs surprisingly little—just under 4 pounds. The majority of inexpensive 15-inch laptops are characterized by their flimsy construction and bulky plastic components. The silver and black color palette of the Aspire 5 is subtle but effective.

It should come as no surprise that the laptop's body is made of plastic, as it not only reduces weight but also highlights its low cost. Even if this laptop isn't especially slim, Acer has nevertheless managed to include a respectable assortment of connectors, such as full-size USB ports, HDMI, Ethernet, and a single USB-C.

Again, it feels a little dated because the 15.6-inch screen is surrounded by heavy bezels despite its respectable size. Super-thin bezels have been seen on more costly Ultrabooks; in particular, the NanoEdge display on the Asus ZenBook S13 and the InfinityEdge display on the Dell XPS 13 look amazing, but they cost a lot more.

For a low-cost laptop, the 1080p resolution is adequate, but it doesn't have the same visual appeal as more expensive laptops with higher-resolution screens, like the MacBook Air. This also implies that the screen isn't the brightest or most brilliant one we've seen; instead, it has a yellow tint that highlights the laptop's low price once more.

The less-than-expensive laptops with tactile keyboards provide a more pleasurable typing experience, although the non-backlit keyboard feels a little cheap and has less travel.

Not only does a backlit keyboard look good on gaming laptops, but it also makes it easier to see the keys you're pressing in low light. This implies that for those who are not accustomed to touch typing, using the Acer Aspire 5 at night can be challenging.

Battery Life

With the Acer Aspire 5, Acer claims 8.5 hours of battery life; however, in the benchmark test, it only lasts a few minutes shorter. The lower-power processor allows for seven hours and fifty-five minutes of battery life when looping a 1080p video.

Although there are some ways to extend the battery life, such limiting the number of apps you use at once and lowering the screen's brightness, you'll have to take a chance on getting enough use out of it to last through an entire workday.
