Model:

The Acer Aspire E5-471-64 WR belongs to the Aspire E5 released by Acer. This particular Acer laptop has an Intel Core i3 processor 4030U that clocks at 1.9 GHz without Turbo Boost support. It is equipped with an integrated Intel HD Graphics 4400, which should be enough for the casual gamer. The display screen has a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels, which is not unexpected as it is a budget laptop. Color accuracy and sharpness leaves much to be desired, however.

The Acer Aspire E5-471-64WR comes in two color choices, black or white. Both unassuming colors are typical of the Acer's simplistic designs. The system is filled with pre-downloaded bloatware that may take new users a while to unload from the laptop. Keyboard and touchpad are comfortable, silent and sturdy. It is important to note that even though it is running Windows 8, the Acer Aspire E5 does not feature a touchscreen.

The 14 inch laptop weighs 2 kg and is equipped with a CD/DVD burner, an Ethernet port, an HDMI port, a USB 3.0 port and other useful ports to connect the device. The battery is extremely long lasting at about seven and a half hours of video playback. However, this may be attributed to the low brightness offered by the laptop and the power efficient Intel Core i3.

14.00":

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.

Acer: In 1976, the company was founded in Taiwan under the name Multitech and was renamed Acer or Acer Group in 1987. The product range includes, for example, laptops, tablets, smartphones, desktops, monitors, TVs and computer peripherals. Since 2007, the group has merged with Gateway Inc. and Packard Bell, which also market their own laptop product lines.

Acer computers are designed for a variety of purposes, including ultrabooks for mobile use, gaming laptops for gamers, affordable options for everyday tasks, and 2-in-1 convertible laptops for versatility. Acer's product portfolio also includes tablets that offer portable computing and multimedia capabilities.

80%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
