Reviews for the Acer Aspire E5-573-3732

60% Acer Aspire E5
Source: Good Gear Guide English Archive.org version
The Aspire E5 is fair value for money, but that's pretty much all it is. If you just need a basic workhorse type of machine and can live with the offset trackpad in favour of the number pad there's some value here, but the competitive landscape at this kind of price point is particularly brutal, so it would pay to shop around.

Comment

Model: The Acer Aspire E5-573-3732 is a mid-range laptop, which is neither a budget device nor a high performance type. It provides a faux-metal finish with a lightly brushed pattern that conceals its plastic build. Its dual-core Intel i3-5005U processor clocked at 2.0 GHz is mainly suitable for office and light multimedia purposes. It also provides a decent movie-watching experience with its 15.6 inch HD display, but there is nothing to shout about regarding its audio quality.

Users that are always out and about may find its bulky design not convenient for portability with a weight of 2.7 kg and a size of 32 x 382 x 256 mm. It full size number pad might similar to normal desktop keyboard's might appeal to certain users, but it did offset the trackpad to the left and compromise on the size of the keys. An advantage is the battery life of up to 4.5 hours. All in all a basic laptop, the Acer Aspire E5-573-3732 comes with 4 GB of RAM, an internal 1 GB hard drive from Western Digital, VGA, HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet, two USB 3.0 ports and one USB 2.0 port.

Intel HD Graphics 5500: Integrated graphics card (GT2) in the Core processors of the Broadwell U-series (15 W TDP). 

Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.

5005U: Broadwell-based ULV (ultra low voltage) dual-core processor for notebooks and ultrabooks. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 5500 GPU and is manufactured in 14 nm.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


15.60":

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.

2.7 kg:

With this weight, a laptop is rather heavier than average. Devices in this range shine more with screen size and performance than with mobility.


Acer: In 1976, the company was founded in Taiwan under the name Multitech and was renamed Acer or Acer Group in 1987. The product range includes, for example, laptops, tablets, smartphones, desktops, monitors, TVs and computer peripherals. Since 2007, the group has merged with Gateway Inc. and Packard Bell, which also market their own laptop product lines.

Acer computers are designed for a variety of purposes, including ultrabooks for mobile use, gaming laptops for gamers, affordable options for everyday tasks, and 2-in-1 convertible laptops for versatility. Acer's product portfolio also includes tablets that offer portable computing and multimedia capabilities.
