Acer Extensa 15 EX215-54 in Review: Core i5 power for little money

Compromises. The Extensa offers a powerful Tiger Lake processor at a budget price point. The dark, low-contrast TN screen with unstable viewing angles is the computer's big weakness. A Windows operating system does not come included in the scope of delivery.

The Acer Extensa 15 is a simple 15.6-inch office laptop that belongs to the entry-level business segment that is equally aimed at business and private customers. Competitor devices include the Dell Inspiron 15 3511, Fujitsu LifeBook A3510, and the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15ALC6.

Case and features: No USB-C for the EX215

The Extensa is not made of high-quality case materials such as aluminum or magnesium. The chassis is made of black plastic, but processing flaws are not noticeable. The base unit and lid seem to have higher stiffness. The battery is non-removable, and there is no maintenance hatch provided.

The EX215's port selection mainly includes three USB-A ports (1x USB 2.0, 2x USB 3.2 Gen 1). An external monitor can be connected via HDMI. Acer includes both a USB-C port and a memory card reader in the laptop.

The WLAN data rates determined under optimal conditions (no other WLAN devices in the near vicinity, short distance between notebook and server PC) do not seem to be on par with the competition. This can probably be attributed to the choice of the installed WLAN chip (Intel Wireless-AC 9462) that allows maximum transfer rates of only up to 433 MBit/s.

The laptop should be compatible with both Windows 10 and Windows 11. However, our variant came without a Windows operating system. Acer equips the device with a token operating system called "eShell" — its own Linux distribution. Thus, full Linux compatibility is a given. A test installation of Ubuntu 20.04.03 LTS (64 bit) runs without problems. All hardware is recognized and set up, and all function keys can be used.

Input devices: The Extensa does not have a backlit key

The flat, slightly roughened keys of the unlit chiclet keyboard offer a short stroke and a clear pressure point. The keyboard flexes a bit during typing, though it did not prove to be annoying. All in all, Acer delivers a keyboard that is suitable for everyday use.

A multi-touch capable ClickPad (about 10.6 x 7.8 cm) serves as a mouse replacement. Its smooth surface makes it easy for the fingers to glide. The pad also responds to inputs in the corners. It has a short stroke and a clear pressure point.

Display: The Acer 15 has an outdated panel

The brightness (203.1 cd/m²) and contrast (512:1) of the matte 15.6-inch screen (1,920 x 1,080 pixels) turn out to be much low. We consider values beyond 300 cd/m² or 1,000:1 as good. Flickering with a frequency of 52 Hz occurs at every brightness level. This can cause headaches and/or eye problems to people sensitive to PWM.

* ... smaller is better

The screen's color reproduction is not convincing out of the box — we observe colors significantly deviating from the target. Furthermore, the display suffers from a blue cast. Calibration eliminates the bluish cast and ensures a decent color reproduction. The display cannot adequately cover AdobeRGB (38%), sRGB (56%), and DCI-P3 (37%) color spaces.

Display Response Times

ℹ

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
21 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 17 ms rise
21 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 4 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. » 37 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is similar to the average of all tested devices (22.3 ms).
↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
38 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 18 ms rise
38 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 20 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.25 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 46 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is similar to the average of all tested devices (35.1 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ

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 detected

52 Hz

≤ 100 % brightness setting

The display backlight flickers at 52 Hz (Likely utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 100 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting.

The frequency of 52 Hz is very low, so the flickering may cause eyestrain and headaches after extended use.

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 18925 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

The TN panel has unstable viewing angle and is thus not readable from every position. It is just about possible to read the screen outdoors if the sun is not too bright. Otherwise, the low display brightness is not very helpful in this regard.

Performance: Acer relies on Tiger Lake

Acer delivers a simple office notebook in a 15.6-inch format with the Extensa 15 EX215-54 that offers enough computing power for office and Internet applications.

Test conditions

We used the "Balanced" energy profile in Windows as other energy modes are not available. The CPU power limits in this mode are 28 W (PL1) and 64 W (PL2).

Processor

The Core i5-1135G7 quad-core processor (Tiger Lake) operates at a base clock of 2.4 GHz. An increase to 3.8 GHz (all cores) or up to 4.2 GHz (one core) is possible via Turbo Boost and hyperthreading (two threads per core) is supported as well. Cinebench R15 tests run at 3.4 to 3.8 GHz (multi-thread), or 2 to 4.2 GHz (single-thread). The clock rates are significantly lower in battery mode.

We check whether the CPU boost is used permanently while running on DC power operation by running a looped multi-thread test of the Cinebench R15 benchmark for at least 30 minutes. Three of the four CPU cores operate with average values around the base clock. The fourth core works at the boost frequency in a sustained manner.

System Performance

The nimble and smooth-running system did not cause any problems in our test, and the device scores good PCMark results as well. The CPU provides enough performance for office and Internet applications. Some of the computing power does not come to fruition because the soldered-on working memory (8 GB) only runs in single-channel mode. Fortunately, there is still an unoccupied working memory bank inside the notebook. The dual-channel mode can be activated by installing a memory module.

The Extensa has an unoccupied working memory bank.
