Reviews for the Acer Aspire V5-571P-6473

Archive.org versionThere aren’t many laptops that cost less than £600 and include a touchscreen. It's no surprise to see Acer pushing prices down, so if you want to take advantage of Windows 8's touch-optimised interface then the Aspire V5 Touch is an obvious choice The touchscreen pushes up the price, but the V5 Touch is pretty well built and provides perfectly respectable performance. Its weaknesses are the narrow viewing angles and the paltry battery.

Archive.org versionWindows 8 is really a much better operating system when there is a touchscreen involved. Because of this, the Acer Aspire V5 571P is going to be a very attractive option thanks to its display and relatively affordable price. Its affordability does have its drawbacks though as its performance certainly trails much of the competition and certainly has much lower battery life.

The Aspire V5 has a plastics body and is slimmer and with 2 kg also lighter than the competition. Acer has targeted users looking for a portable machine. In many aspects, this device is average in its class and does not stand out. The 15.6 inch capacitive touchscreen features a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels and supports 10-point inputs, which is perfect for the pre-installed Windows 8. Colors are bright and crisp, and the viewing angles leave nothing to complain about. The full-sized chiclet keyboard with number pad offers a decent typing experience. In addition, it comes with an extra- large clickable touchpad with support for Windows 8 gestures.
Inside the Aspire V5 there is a 750GB hard drive, which is a decent amount of storage, and a 1.8GHz Intel Core i3-3217U ULV dual core processor. The performance is sufficient when compared to competitors of the same price range. It can handle light multimedia tasks easily, but is not suitable for hardcore gaming. But, casual social games are not a problem. Considering how thin and light the build is, battery life is a concern. Unfortunately, the Acer Aspire V5 fares much, much worse than the competition here. Overall, this is a good looking, well designed machine for an affordable price. Battery life is its main shortcoming, but if that’s not an issue, the Acer Aspire V5 is great value.
