Acer Aspire 5 A515-45 review: A laptop with AMD Ryzen 7 power but...
The Acer Aspire 5 A515-45-R4R1 (NX.A82EV.00H) is a high-quality-looking laptop with a recommended retail price of around 600 Euros (~$687), but at this price it doesn't include a preinstalled operating system. However, you can easily get and install this. The device is equipped with the AMD Ryzen 7 5700U processor, which offers a clock speed of up to 4.3 GHz and includes the AMD Radeon RX Vega 8 (Ryzen 4000) onboard graphics. This is accompanied by a meager 8 GB of RAM and a 512-GB SSD.
Alternatively, Acer also offers the Aspire 5 A515-45 in various other configurations, for example having weaker CPUs (AMD Ryzen 3 5300U or AMD Ryzen 5 5500U) or more working memory (16 GB) and additional storage configurations (256 GB and 1 TB).
In our test, the Acer Aspire 5 A515-45 in the NX.A82EV.00H configuration has to compete also against its 200-Euro (~$229) more expensive sibling, the Acer Aspire 5 A515-56-511A with an Intel Tiger Lake i5-1135G7 CPU model with Iris Xe G7 80EUs and twice as much RAM. Which version brings more power for the money? Other competitors in the test include the Asus VivoBook S15 D533UA and the HP Envy x360 15-eu0097nr with the same CPU/iGPU combination.

Case: An elegant laptop with a solid heft
The silver-colored case shows good workmanship and is made of a material mix of aluminum and high-quality plastic. Despite its relatively low price, it offers an elegant and haptically satisfying impression. The design varies slightly from the Acer Aspire 5 A515-56-511A with the Intel CPU.
Thanks to the base having sufficient weight and its suitable hinges, the lid can be opened with a single hand. The display only wobbles briefly after the device is shaken.
The Acer Aspire 5 A515-45 brings a good 1.7 kg (~3.7 lb) to the scale, which is completely okay for a 15.6-inch laptop. With this, it is one of the lightest laptops among the similarly-sized comparison devices. The power supply adds another 300 g (~0.7 lb), resulting in a total of about 2 kg (~4.4 lb) to take on the road.
With its 18-mm (~0.7 in) thickness, the test device is in the middle of our test field, and the same is the case for the width measurement. Only in terms of the depth, we see that all the other selected 15.6-inch comparison devices turn out 1 or 2 cm shorter (~0.4 - 0.8 in). However, for most buyers this probably won't be much of a deciding factor.
Equipment: LAN and HDMI but no Thunderbolt
While the amount of connections is anything but ample, it is probably sufficient for most users. An external monitor can only be connected via HDMI, and there is only a single USB-C connection (USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type C) on the left side. We would have liked a bit more here, but at least the port remains usable, since the device is charged via a separate power connection.
The connection package is rounded by three USB-A ports, although only two of those support the faster USB 3.2 Gen 1 standard and one, only the USB 2.0 standard. In addition to WLAN, the Gigabit LAN connection is a practical feature. As in the predecessors, Acer continues to forgo any kind of storage card reader in the Aspire 5 A515.
Communication
While the Intel model of the Acer Aspire 5 includes the Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX201 module, our test unit with AMD CPU uses the almost identical Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 without CRF module. This also offers a really good performance, which is significantly above average. It even places first in the download test and gets third place among the comparison field in the upload test. So without a doubt, fast WLAN connectivity with 2x2 Wi-Fi 6 technology is a given.
Webcam
As in many other laptops, the Acer Aspire 5 A515-45 also uses only a webcam with a resolution of 0.9 MP / 720p, which is placed at the center of the top display edge. The image quality is mediocre, and with a Delta-E of 16, colors are reproduced badly and too bright.
Security
Besides a Kensington Lock connection and a fingerprint sensor in the touchpad, there is no other security equipment.
Accessories
In addition to a 45-Watt power supply, Acer also includes an HDD upgrade kit. Using this insertion frame with its connection cables, you can insert a 2.5-inch hard drive or SSD to expand the available storage space. The manufacturer also sells various other accessories on its website.
Maintenance
After removing 11 small Philips screws and the case bottom, you get access to the insides, where you can not only clean the fans easily, but also insert a RAM module (up to 16 GB) or an additional storage medium using the insertion frame we already mentioned.
Warranty
Acer offers buyers in Germany the usual 24-month warranty to laptops of the Aspire series. Optionally, you can also purchase three years of mail-in warranty.
Input Devices: A laptop with a number pad and fingerprint sensor
The Acer Aspire 5 A515-45-R4R1 is equipped with a keyboard that includes a number pad and a touchpad that is positioned to the side and almost right below the space key.
Keyboard
Aside from 2-cm (~0.8 in) edges on the left and right side, the keyboard takes the whole width of the device. At 17 x 15 mm (~0.7 x 0.6 in), the keys have a sufficient size, allowing for a fairly comfortable and speedy typing experience to be established quickly. The noise development is moderate.
To the right of the regular keyboard, Acer also squeezes in a number pad. At a width of 13 mm (~0.5 in), the keys of the number pad turn out significantly smaller.
The background illumination is distributed evenly across the whole keyboard and can be turned on or off via the F8 function key. There is no dimming. In addition, there are more of the usual special functions on the F1 to F12 keys, such as those for adjusting the brightness and turning off the display.
Touchpad
The touchpad measures about 10.5 x 8 cm (~4.1 x 3.1 in). Together with its comfortable haptics, this size is sufficient to ensure smooth operation. At the bottom of the touchpad are the two "mouse keys" that are not separated haptically and produce a clicking noise that is not particularly loud.
In the top left corner is the fingerprint reader. While it is noticeable when traversing it with your finger, the movement of the mouse cursor is not interrupted. However, this position is still not ideal for unlocking the laptop with your thumb.
Display: Unfortunately not particularly bright
The 15.6-inch display of the Acer Aspire 5 A515-45-R4R1 has a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels (Full HD). This is an IPS panel that offers stable viewing angles as usual and can therefore be read even from very steep viewing angles. While the purely subjective impression during the test of the Acer Aspire 5 A515-45-R4R1 is okay, the measurements show a few weak areas.
Among other things, the brightness is not particularly bright at about 230 cd/m². The brightness distribution is also not very even, and we measured a difference of around 70 cd/m² between the top left and bottom right corner of our test unit. The image brightness of our test unit limps behind that of the other comparison laptops fairly significantly in some parts. In addition, there is some slight clouding and IPS glow, but this is only noticeable when displaying a very dark image and looking closely.
The built-in panel does a significantly better job reproducing black values. In this area - as in the contrast - the device surpasses the competitors.

* ... smaller is better
The color space coverage of the display in the Acer Aspire 5 A515-45-R4R1 only achieves low values and is below-average compared to that of the competitors. With this, the device is not suited for professional graphics processing, but the low performance of the hardware wouldn't allow this anyways.
On the other hand, the color accuracy is relatively good, as is shown by a Delta E of less than 4. In this area, the device turns out better than many comparison devices, particularly since the reproduction can be further optimized by a calibration.

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
| Screen flickering / PWM not detected |  | ||
In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8705 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured. | |||
Even though the display produces a limited brightness at 230 cd/m², it does fairly well when using it outside. In the shade, the displayed contents can be recognized easily. Even in direct sunlight this still works fairly well due to the matte display and high contrast.
Performance: A solid CPU and disappointing iGPU performance
The configuration that we are testing here uses the AMD Ryzen 7 5700U processor in combination with the AMD Radeon RX Vega 8 (Ryzen 4000) iGPU. They are accompanied by 8 GB of soldered RAM. Optionally, the working memory can be increased up to a maximum of 24 GB. The built-in 512-GB SSD can also be replaced or expanded by another drive.
The following sections of our Aspire 5 A515-45 review show how this configuration and its separate components fare under load and in everyday operation.
Test Conditions
Acer keeps the processor on a short leash in mains as well as battery operation with 27 Watt PL2 (short burst) and 16 W PL1 (sustained). This is significantly lower than what Asus, for example, delivers to the CPU in the Vivobook S15 D533UA (35 W PL2 / short burst, 28 W PL1 / sustained).
The Acer Care software does not include different performance modes. Our tests were mostly run using the Windows "Best Performance" mode and "Standard" in the AMD Radeon software.
Processor
The built-in AMD Ryzen 7 5700U CPU does not use the new Zen 3 architecture yet, bringing eight Zen 2 cores (octa-core CPU) instead. The processor, which has been manufactured in the 7-nm process, runs at a base clock speed of 1.8 GHz. It supports clock speeds of up to 4.3 GHz (Turbo) and SMT / Hyperthreading (16 threads).
In the configuration we have here, the laptop does not make full use of the CPU's capabilities, which are really fairly powerful. Most of the time, it remains slightly, but sometimes also significantly, behind the average of all the devices with this processor that we tested previously.
In most benchmarks, the performance of the AMD version is still sufficient to beat the Acer Aspire 5 A515-56-511A with the Intel Core i5-1135G7, particularly in the multi-core benchmarks. In the single-core measurements, the Ryzen-equipped device remains minimally behind. In battery operation, the CPU performance is only slightly less by up to 10%.

System Performance
In the end, the fact that the CPU performance isn't fully taken advantage of, the low amount of RAM equipment, and a relatively slow SSD lead to results in the lower half of the comparison field in the system benchmarks. Our test unit remains below the CPU/storage average by sometimes a larger, sometimes a smaller amount. However, it is still sufficient for a direct competition with the Intel version of the Aspire 5.
On the other hand, in everyday operation the rather mediocre benchmark results are usually hardly noticeable with low demands. But if you pose higher demands by running or starting two or more programs at the same time, the operation may start to show some significant stutters. Then the low RAM equipment becomes noticeable. This means that the device is more suitable for surfing and streaming but less suitable for more demanding and extensive work tasks.

DPC Latencies
In our standardized test, which always only represents a momentary snapshot, the maximum DPC latency turns out solid. There shouldn't be any problems with real-time audio, and the device isn't suitable for video editing anyways.

Storage Solution
The built-in 512 GB M.2 SSD from Micron isn't one of the faster representatives of its kind. The read and write rates as well as the access times are only sufficient for a place in the lower half of the comparison field in the various benchmarks, and they also always remain below the average for the storage module.
