Acer Aspire V5-571 Touch

 

Strong specs at a decent price make the V5 Touch a good option but it does come with comprimises.

Touchscreen makes Windows 8 more tolerable, Comfortable keyboard, Good sized trackpad

Mediocre battery life, Hefty weight

Acer Aspire V5 review

 

A touchscreen and decent build quality can't rescue this budget laptop

Touchscreen ; Affordable price ; Good keyboard ; Attractive design ; Light and portable

Annoying touchpad ; Poor battery life ; Mediocre processor ; Lacking connectivity ; Limited storage

The Acer Aspire V5-122P feels like a notebook the Taiwanese company just dashed off between high-profile Ultrabook launches and, as such, is hard to recommend. What could have been a highly-portable touch-enabled work laptop is undone by a poor battery...

Trackpad ; Touchscreen ; Smooth in use ; Good price

Acer Aspire V5 Touch (V5-571P-53316G50)

 

Laptops seem to fall into two main camps these days: pricey Ultrabook-like models that, let's face it, can be astronomically expensive, and those less-hot budget models such as Chromebooks and those plastic-chassis lower-spec models. Then there's the...

Fair price, backlit keyboard, keyboard and trackpad offer good resistance in use, 6GB Ram and 1.7GHz i5 processor make for decent enough performance when it's needed, touchscreen is responsive, full Windows 8 as standard

Slow to boot/wake and load software, limited resolution, washed-out colours and mediocre viewing angle to screen, plasticky build, 2.3kg weight doesn't make it ideal for transporting around

There's a fair lot of good to be said for the Acer Aspire V5 Touch from a specs point of view. For the money there's a whack of power on offer and that'll make this machine an attractive prospect, particularly as - despite its bulk and 2.3kg weight -...

Acer Aspire V5-122P review

 

Acer lists the V5 series on the ‘ultra-thin' section of its website, clearly suggesting that it's an Ultrabook. The basic design of this budget laptop is certainly light and attractive, with this particular V5-122P model providing an 11.6-inch screen...

If you're on a tight budget then the Acer V5-122P may prove quite a good value for money laptop. Its computing speed is low, but the build quality and screen are definitely above average for a bottom-dollar laptop. Unfortunately, the battery life is a...

Acer Aspire V5 review

 

The Acer's processor was paired with a generous 6GB of DDR3 RAM, but it could only score 2413 points in the PCMark 7 benchmark. It's the second-slowest result here, but it's a mid-table score that saw Windows 8 run without any sluggishness – and we had...

The Acer Aspire V5 is a sturdy and smart-looking laptop, but its decent exterior masks several key deficiencies. The Ivy Bridge processor can't match Haswell chips for application performance, games ability or battery life, and the screen's colour...

Acer Aspire V5-571P Touch review

 

The V5-571P is quite slim for a model with a 15.6-inch screen, measuring 24.5mm thick. It's easy enough to slip into a backpack or briefcase, but it's quite heavy at almost 2.5kg.

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.

Acer Aspire V5-571 review

 

The Acer V5 Series of laptops stands a little above the budget V3 range. There is a range of differently configured Acer Aspire V5s – the Acer Aspire V5-571 we reviewed is one of the easiest to find on sale, a still budget-priced and specified 15.6in...

The Acer Aspire V5-571 is very much a budget choice. Its quite-usable battery life, competent screen and generous dimensions make it a workable choice for a portable machine, but you may pine for more power with challenging computing tasks.

Acer Aspire V5 review

 

The Acer Aspire V5 is a pretty sleek laptop at first glance. But don't be fooled by its silky-smooth silver exterior - there's not a whole lot going on inside this laptop. Sure, it's got its strengths: the touchscreen is responsive and smooth, and...
