Acer Aspire 5 A514 Laptop Review: Not Intel Comet Lake at its Best

 

It may be equipped with Intel's latest 10th gen processor, but almost everything else about the laptop feels rather dated. The Aspire 5 is heavier and larger than many other 14-inch alternatives without offering any notable advantages.

two internal storage bays;well-calibrated display;relatively inexpensive;RJ-45, full-size HDMI;easy serviceability;long battery life;quiet fan noise;rigid hinge

relies on proprietary AC adapter; no USB Type-C charging;keyboard keys have weak feedback and shallow travel;below average CPU performance;large footprint; thick bezels;heavy for its screen size;CPU performance bugs;spongy clickpad keys;no SD card reader

ACER Aspire 5 A514-52 14" Laptop - Intel® Core™ i5, 256 GB SSD, Silver

 

It’s a great value machine, robust, lightweight, and powerful enough to handle just about every essential function. For the price to build quality is excellent, but if you’re expecting something dense, heavy and expensive that’s not this machine

Similar to other reviews, the fan can be loud. We would have sent it back at one point but the sound died down and it is now better.
