Reviews for the Acer Aspire E5-573G-57HR
Source: PC Mag Archive.org version
The Acer Aspire E5-573G-57HR is a top-notch desktop-replacement laptop, with a better display and more powerful gaming and processing capabilities than similarly priced machines. While the system can't run the most demanding games or play the majority of titles on high settings, it's a modest option that still costs at least several hundred dollars less than a specialized gaming laptop.

Model: The E5-573G-57HR belongs to the E5 series of easy to use and affordable entry-level laptops. It is called a desktop replacement, which is partially true but not quite there yet. The beautiful case gives it a "come pick me up and use me" kind of vibe. The full size keyboard lacks a backlight. The touchpad is big enough to use and can be used to perform gesture controls. With 15 inch Full HD display, the laptop is alright for for movies and games. An Intel Core i5 dual core processor and 8 GB of RAM makes for smooth use.
The system performance tests have shown that this laptop has a good score for everyday use, but it is not made for more demanding games. On battery, the laptop can be used for up to 6 hours and it lasts 12 hours in idle mode. This laptop is aimed at price-conscious buyers rather than power-users. Its price is low enough. Thus, the product has a very high price performance ratio.

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.

80%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
