Reviews for the Acer Aspire 14 AI A14-53M
Source: Expert Reviews
Acer’s latest 14in Aspire has a lot going for it. The price is right, the display is very impressive, performance is strong and, thanks to a wide selection of ports and long battery life, it’s an eminently practical laptop to use and live with. The drawbacks are annoyingly typical for Acer’s cheaper compact laptops, namely a sub-par sound system and a design that’s a little humdrum, and bear in mind that you can pick up an M4 MacBook Pro for only £100 more. But if you really can’t stretch to any of its rivals and you can put up with its (fairly minor) foibles, this laptop is well worth considering – if not aspiring to.

Intel Arc 130V: An integrated graphics adapter that lower-end Intel Lunar Lake family processors employ. This is a direct successor to the Arc 7 iGPU; DirectX 12 Ultimate is fully supported here and the iGPU also supports hardware-decoding a long list of popular video codecs such as h.266 VVC, h.265 HEVC, h.264 AVC, AV1 and VP9. It is clear the 130V isn't fast enough to run most triple-A 2024 games at 1080p. However, it's still more than good enough for an occasional gaming session Helldivers 2 and Ready or Not run perfectly well at 1080p / Low.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

Core Ultra 5 226V: One of the 2 slowest Lunar Lake processors as of Nov 2024. It features 4 new Skymont E-cores and 4 new Lion Cove P-cores running at up to 3.5 GHz and 4.5 GHz respectively, along with the new Arc 130V iGPU and 16 GB of on-package LPDDR5x-8533 RAM. The 226V's level 3 cache is pretty small as compared to more expensive Ultra 7 2xxV and Ultra 9 2xxV chips at 8 MB vs 12 MB. Its multi-thread performance is very close to the R7 7730U and the R7 7735U, and it eats up to 37 W in short-term loads.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
