Acer Aspire 5 review: a $549 laptop that doesn’t completely suck

It gets the job done.

Affordable ; Good port selection ; Great audio ; Comfortable backlit keyboard

Bad battery life ; Off-center touchpad ; Feels like a budget laptop ; Bloatware

The Acer Aspire 5 is a portable and affordable Windows laptop powered by Intel’s Core i5-1035G1. It’s a decent purchase for its low price, but you’ll get better performance and battery life if you can get your hands on an AMD model.

Acer Aspire 5 review: Intel's Ice Lake CPUs come to the budget Aspire line

The latest of Acer's budget-minded Aspire 5 laptops is here, now with Ice Lake on board.

Sleek-looking shell ; Solid single- and multi-core performance ; Impressive array of ports ; Wi-Fi 6 support

Mediocre battery life ; Weighs 3.75 pounds, and feels like it ; No memory card reader

The Acer Aspire 5 delivers a robust selection of ports for a budget laptop, with one notable exception.

Acer Aspire 5 (A515-44G) review – an AMD combo that comes at a surprisingly low price
