Reviews for the Acer Aspire 5 A515-57G-57CW

80% Acer Aspire 5 review: A likeable old-school 15.6in notebook
Source: It Pro
The Aspire 5 has several features that you shouldn't automatically expect for the price including Thunderbolt 4 and Wi-Fi 6E connectivity, the option to add a second SSD and upgrade the RAM and a discrete Nvidia GPU. The expansive keyboard will be a boon to office workers while the range of ports is very wide by modern standards: I'm struggling to remember the last time I found an RJ45 port on a non-gaming laptop. In the negative column, you have to put up with a very basic display, a slightly bouncy keyboard and pretty average battery life. Still, at £750 exc VAT it is difficult not to see the Aspire 5 as solid value for money.
