Acer Aspire 5 A515-58GM review: The office laptop with a wannabe gaming GPU

The allrounder runs out-of-round.

The Acer Aspire 5 (2023) is an office laptop sold for a much higher price due to its installed RTX 2050 gaming GPU. In this detailed review, you can read about whether this recipe resulted in a worthy allrounder. You can certainly look forward to two RAM banks, Thunderbolt 4 as well as quite a few improvements over its predecessor.

The Aspire 5 series covers a wide range of Acer's budget-friendly laptops on offer. Due to this model's installed RTX graphics card, we need to test whether the budget concept still stands. With an MRSP of around US$1,200, its GeForce RTX 2050 really needs to impress us. The 15.6-inch laptop also features a Raptor Lake CPU (Core i7-1355U), a 60-Hz Full HD display with 45 % NTSC, 16 GB DDR4 RAM and a 1-TB SSD.

From a visual standpoint, not much has changed about the Aspire 5 AN515-58GM, while its predecessor was fitted with the same Nvidia GPU. There continues to be an AMD version available, whose advantages and disadvantages we will also be dissecting during the course of this review. The Aspire 3 range is even cheaper than the Aspire 5 (without dGPU), and the environmentally friendly Aspire Vero has just been released. 

The laptop doesn't face many direct competitors, as manufacturers usually go for a weaker and more frugal GeForce MX graphics card or decide to go for a powerful RTX 3050 or RTX 4050 - but in the meantime, integrated GPU solutions can also deliver sufficient multimedia power, such as the Radeon 680M within the Asus VivoBook S15.

Budget gaming laptops like Lenovo's LOQ 15 and Asus' TUF Gaming A15, which are chunkier but offer much higher graphics performance, are within reach at the mentioned price. The classic competition includes pure mid-range office laptops like Lenovo's IdeaPad 5 15 and Dell's Inspiron 15

Case: The solid Aspire 5 with a metal lid and ergo-lift

Acer's Aspire 5 (2023) relies on quite a sturdy plastic case with a brushed aluminum look, while the lid is actually made from metal. It can only be twisted ever so slightly and doesn't give much when you apply targeted pressure.

Its predecessor had a darker, iron-gray color, while the Aspire 3 was made fully from plastic as an introductory model. The Lenovo IdeaPad 5, the Dell Inspiron 16, the Huawei MateBook D 15 as well as HP's Envy series are all made completely from metal and with thin bezels.

All-in-all, the laptop makes quite a good impression - its surfaces feel nice, fingerprint marks aren't too visible - but its wide bezels feel a little outdated. Its ergo-lift comes in really handy when you open the laptop widely (max. 135°), which results in a comfortable typing position and more effective cooling. The hinge is tight but you can still open the laptop with one hand.

It has average measurements and weight for a 15.6-inch laptop - it weighs 1.8 kg and has a thickness of about 20 mm. The Lenovo LOQ 15 and Asus TUF Gaming A15 gaming laptops are, as expected, a bit bulkier at 2.2 kg/2.5 kg and with a thickness of ~25 mm. This is so that they can cool their higher temperatures. The Huawei MateBook D 15 AMD is the lightest of our comparison devices, weighing 1.61 kg.

Connectivity: Thunderbolt 4, GBit-RJ45 and HDMI 2.1

It's nice to see that the laptop features a Thunderbolt 4 port including DisplayPort 1.4 and Power Delivery - this is not always a given on office laptops. Only the TUF Gaming A15 and the Aspire 5 from last year feature this USB-4 standard in our comparison field. The current IdeaPad Pro 5 16 and the Inspiron 16 (Intel) also feature this.

Its HDMI 2.1 port supports 8K, but only at 30 Hz or 4K at 60 Hz. Per side, there is one USB-A 3.2 Gen1 (5 GBit/s), while its predecessor featured three USB-A ports. On the right side is as follows: GBit-RJ45, Kensington lock and 3.5mm audio jack.

Communication

The installed WLAN module, the Intel AX211, can use its full potential using the 6 GHz frequency, with a receiving speed of over 1.6 Gbit/s.

The Realtek chips inside the IdeaPad 5 15 and the MateBook D 15 AMD are considerably slower. It supports Bluetooth 5.1 but it doesn't feature any LTE options.

Webcam

As expected, its 1080p webcam does not deliver outstanding pictures, but it is much better than most of the competition. It supports Windows Hello and has decent dual-array microphones, but there is no lens cover. Useful features include auto-framing, advanced background blur and eye correction.

Scope of delivery

Aside from a compact 90-watt power supply, the laptop doesn't come with any additional accessories. Acer's website also doesn't offer any specialized accessories. It's nice to see that the packaging is environmentally friendly and the device is delivered without plastic and instead features recycled cardboard and shaped paper-pulp. On the other hand, the mass of pre-installed bloatware is a nuisance.

Maintenance

After removing 10 cross screws, you just have to use a plastic card or a spudger tool to remove the cover. Inside, you can find two RAM banks, two M.2 2280 slots, the swappable WLAN module as well as the screwed-on battery. You can also take apart the cooling system quite easily in case you need to perform maintenance on it.

Warranty

Acer gives the Aspire 5 a one-year limited warranty in the United States. There are options to extend this, which can be found on Acer's website

Input devices: The comfortable Acer keyboard – in good lighting conditions

Keyboard

Typing on the Acer Aspire 5 feels very comfortable, although the IdeaPad 5 has a slightly nicer pressure point but less lift (1.3 mm compared to 1.4 mm). The middle of the keyboard can be pressed in with enough pressure but while typing, this doesn't seem to be a problem. The contrast between the light-gray labelling versus the medium-gray keys seems to be more of an issue, especially if there is a lot of ambient light (see image comparison below).

The keyboard's layout is good apart from the halved vertical arrow key, squished number block and the usual double-assigned keys. The keyboard features backlighting which only has one brightness level. If you type a lot, then you might like the Lenovo LOQ 15 Gaming laptop even more which has a 1.5-mm lift and a better layout - HP's Envy series also features nice keyboards.

Touchpad

Its touchpad is also better than that of its predecessor: It no longer rattles, the integrated buttons are anything but spongy, offer enough lift and its surface is nice and smooth - although, its precision isn't the best-of-the-best.

The laptop is fitted with a standard 15.6-inch IPS display with a 1,920 x 1,080 pixel resolution (16:9). Its biggest flaws are its poor color space coverage of about 58 % sRGB and its low brightness of 248 cd/m². In battery use, this actually even sinks down to 220 cd/m².

For a budget laptop, this would be a justified compromise - however, not at a price of almost US$1,200 when you don't even have the option to pick a more vibrant, brighter alternative. Even so, you can experience a slightly less vibrant gaming experience at a maximum of 60 Hz.

Furthermore, the picture quality is dulled even more due to its grainy matte surface, while its predecessor's contrast levels were much higher: 1,317:1 vs. 802:1. At least, we didn't note any PWM flickering or backlight bleeding.

In contrast, true gaming laptops such as the Lenovo LOQ 15, LOQ 16 and the Asus TUF Gaming A15 offer a base configuration of 144 Hz, with an option to upgrade to 100 % sRGB. Regarding pure office laptops, the IdeaPad Pro 5 16 stands out thanks to it being a relatively inexpensive device with a 120 Hz QHD display. The Asus VivoBook S15 has the best display in our comparison field, as it relies on an OLED panel and can cover ~99 % of AdobeRGB.

Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
24.8 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 14.2 ms rise
↘ 10.6 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 54 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (21 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
33.6 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 15.8 ms rise
↘ 17.8 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 41 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is similar to the average of all tested devices (32.9 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
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 8774 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

Its very low brightness of 220 cd/m² in battery mode makes it almost impossible to read from the display outside - even in total shade.

Performance: The Aspire 5's CPU & GPU remain on the bottom limit

The Acer Aspire 5 A515-58GM is fitted with an Intel Core i7-1355U (2 P-cores + 8 E-cores), 16 GB expandable DDR4 RAM, a 1-TB SSD (PCIe 3.0) and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2050 with a minimal TGP of 35 watts. Cheaper SKUs are available with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2050 and without a dGPU. AMD variants with an RX Vega graphics card are also available but they come with a completely soldered-on RAM. The almost identically built predecessor model can be had with an MX550 or also with an RTX 2050.

The Aspire is intended as an allrounder, from office to multimedia uses all the way through to playing new games (at low detail settings). For 4K video editing, this version is generally fast enough, although, we would recommend connecting an external monitor.

Testing conditions

The manufacturer offers three different performance modes on the Aspire 5 which can be selected via Acer Quick Access or the key combination "Fn+F". We performed our performance benchmarks using the mode "performance" and for our battery tests, we selected the normal mode.

The following list and graphs show the differences in terms of CPU performance limits, while the GPU performance always remains constant:

  • Performance: 55 watts (PL2) > 28 watts (PL1), after 15 seconds.
  • Normal: Fluctuates between 10 and 55 watts, balances out at 28 watts (PL1) after around 25 seconds. 
  • Silent: Fluctuates stronger, 50 watts for 2 seconds, then continuously fluctuating between 15 and 28 watts in 20-second intervals - parallel to this is the fan behavior. 
  • Battery: 19 watts (PL2) > 15 watts (PL1), after 30 seconds.

Processor

The installed Intel processor, the Core i7-1355U (2 P-cores + 8 E-cores) is quite power-hungry, which was reflected well in our Cinebench R15 loop:

During the first run, the CPU still had access to 55 watts but from the second run, the performance dropped considerably already. This led to it only achieving 930 points after the third round instead of the initial 1,624. Intel isn't solely responsible for this, as the normally strong cooling system with two fans should allow for the CPU to permanently consume 40 watts or more. Its throttling to 28 watts is set quite conservatively, as the core temperatures only rose to a maximum of 73 °C in our continuous loop.

As a result, its predecessor with an Intel Core i7-1260P was about 40 % faster under continuous multi-core load - this should, of course, not be the case. However, our performance rating also showed that both laptops performed similarly when it came to tasks which didn't take a large amount of time to complete.

At the end of the day, the only laptops which came ahead of the Aspire 5 test model were the Asus VivoBook S15 with its AMD Ryzen 7 6800H and the two gaming laptops, the Asus TUF Gaming A15 and the Lenovo LOQ 15, which both feature AMD HS CPUs (35-watt TDP). In terms of pure single-core performance, the Aspire 5 actually came out on top for the most part.

In battery mode, the CPU only has access to 15 watts (PL1) and 19 watts (PL2), meaning its result sank down to 1,077 points.

In everyday use, the Acer laptop is highly reactive and super fast. Especially its single-core performance as well as its short-term turbo boost (up to 55 watts) add to this.

Accordingly, only the two gaming laptops and the Asus VivoBook S15 ranked above the Aspire 5 in the PCMark 10 benchmark, while the best result was often achieved in browsing benchmarks like WebXPRT 4.
