It's not often that we see full-fledged under-$500 notebooks, and, when we do, they're usually cheaply constructed and don't perform well, making them difficult to take seriously.Although it's a little slow by today's standards, this under-$500 laptop is rich in connectivity and other options, and its Dolby-enhanced audio sounds good. It's a great buy if you don't need a lot of graphics and gaming muscle.

Budget-priced desktop replacements typically don't engender high expectations, and the Acer Aspire V5-471-6569 performs admirably for what it is. Despite its less-than-stellar performance and the tactile issues surrounding its keyboard and touchpad, one can hardly wag a finger given the laptop's good design and sub-$500 price tag. For users willing to shell out the extra cash, our Editors' Choice for entry-level desktop replacements, the Sony VAIO E15, is better and more nimble. But if you're budget conscious and willing to accept some shortcomings, the V5-471-6569 is a decent choice.

14.0": 14 inch display size is a mixture between the small formats of subnotebooks and the 15 inch standard display. The reason why so many people like displays with medium size is, that this size is not exhausting for the eyes, does not need too much energy and the laptops can be kept quite compact.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
2.1 kg: These sub-notebooks weight less than the average of all notebooks, but represent a heavier class of weight among the sub-notebooks. 13 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.
