Acer Aspire 5 (A515-51G-53V6) is a perfect laptop for daily usage. It features the best specs and latest (at the time of this review) 8th generation i5 processor. One of the best laptops with stylish design. Lets see this laptop’s general review.
15.6 Full HD LED Display
This is a 15.6 inch full HD display model. It features acer’s comfyView, which means the display is an anti-glare display. An LED display with TN panel. Overall, display will be good with better colour reproduction.
8th Generation Intel Core i5-8250U, 8 GB DDR4 RAM, 256 GB SSD, NVIDIA GeForce MX150 with 2 GB GDDR5 VRAM
Intel Core i5-8250U is a 1.6 GHz quad core processor which can go up to 3.4 GHz. So, these processors are powerful enough to run most demanding applications when paired with more RAM and SSD. For this model, you don’t have to worry about any performance lag.
8 GB DDR4 RAM is enough when paired with an SSD. With these specs you will not see any lags while running demanding applications. Even if you run a RAM-intensive application, these specs can pull off easily. If you want more RAM and SSD, you can upgrade them easily.
Intel Core i5-8250U comes with an integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 graphics chip. This integrated chip has the power to make modern, medium-graphic games playable at low to medium settings. With 620 chip, this model features a dedicated graphics card, NVIDIA GeForce MX150 with 2 GB GDDR5 VRAM. We are not sure whether this model features a ‘normal’ MX150 model or ‘Power Efficient’ MX150 model, but whichever it is, performance will be almost same.
With this Graphic card, you can play modern and demanding applications in low to medium settings, whereas less demanding applications can be playable at medium to high settings. For graphic designers, this model can be a starting point and can do less intensive designing work. This can handle very high-demanding applications too, but you may see some lag.
