Acer Aspire 5 in review: Casual gamer with an upgrade kit
Acer's 15.6-inch laptop is an inexpensive device with decent gaming performance thanks to its GeForce MX250. Additionally, the recent standard Wi-Fi 6 is on board. The storage can be expanded with a 2.5-inch SATA SSD/HDD. On top of that, the battery life is good at more than 8 hours, the weight is low and the display non-glossy. What more can you ask for?

Computers always had an important place in my life, starting with an Intel 80286 microprocessor in the early 1990s.

Hardware interests led me to manage Notebookjournal.de, which is now a division of Notebooksbilliger, for a few years.

The compact forms of laptops and smartphones introduced further challenges in this regard. In my reviews for Notebookcheck I try to communicate as objectively as possible how well a device copes with these hurdles.
