At an affordable price, Acer's Aspire 5 A515-54G brings solid gaming performance and a brand new Comet Lake processor to your desk at home. Yet we hardly found any reason to complain in terms of the performance or the screen.

Acer's 15.6-inch notebook brings an acceptable gaming performance with the Geforce MX250 to your desk at an affordable price. It has the current WiFi 6 on board, and you can also add more storage via 2.5-inch SATA SSD/HDD. In addition, there is a good battery life of more than 8 hours, a low weight, and a matte display. What more could you want?

... More performance, for example, since the cooling system does not make full use of the Core i5-10210U. The competitor from Lenovo with an identical gaming power is better equipped here.

Computers interested me early on. With 14 I put together the first PCs for the relatives, with the 90's these were 80286's to 486's up to Pentium 1's. What was closer to becoming a product tester? Since 2007 I have been following the world of Windows laptops and convertibles. Today I also want to separate the wheat from the chaff in vacuum cleaner robots, bread baking machines or irrigation computers, which is why I am also on the road as a freelance editor for other test websites.
