Sure, the Acer Aspire 5 isn't as powerful as the flagship, but for the price, it's a hard laptop to ignore. While we have not reviewed this exact model, the model we evaluated has a lot of winning qualities.
In terms of design, the aluminum-clad laptop strongly resembles a MacBook. Measuring 14.3 x 9.9 x 0.7 inches and weighing 3.7 pounds, it's lighter than the Asus VivoBook S15 (S533F) which comes in at 4 pounds, 14.1 x 9.2 x 0.6 inches. The 15.6-inch, 1920 x 1080 is plenty bright at 258 nits with solid color reproduction of 63% of the sRGB gamut.
The Aspire 5 had mixed results during our performance tests, but had no problem handling multitasking duties.
Our review unit managed to outpace the mainstream laptop average (22:21) during the Handbrake video-editing test, taking 21 minutes and 55 seconds to transcode a 4K video to 1080p. And in terms of battery life, the notebook lasted 11 hours and 29 minutes on the Laptop Mag battery life test.
Now that Amazon Prime Day 2020 has offically kicked off, we expect to see tons of deals on the industry’s best notebook PCs. Be sure to bookmark our Prime Day laptop deals page for this year’s exclusive deals on laptops.
