Reviews for the Acer Aspire 17 A17-51M, Core 5 120U

75% Acer Aspire 17: an affordable laptop with a large screen
Source: Mezha EN English
Acer Aspire 17 (A17-51M) is a budget laptop with a large screen and decent battery life, a kind of affordable "desktop replacement" for those who don't want to overpay for unnecessary additional performance: the energy-efficient processor is not suitable for heavy computing, but its performance is quite enough for everyday tasks. The integrated graphics will allow you to play games from yesteryear, but its performance is, of course, not enough for modern projects. We should also note the presence of 16 GB of RAM - given the price of this model and the current situation with memory prices, one could already expect half the capacity.
