Acer Aspire 5 A517-51G [A517-51G-33W6]

Designed for study and play

The Acer Aspire 5 A517-51G is a solidly built laptop powered by the Intel Skylake platform for work, school and gaming. And thanks to the aluminium strip in the centre, the silver frame and the grooves on the lid, the laptop looks more interesting than any office bee.

The Acer Aspire 5 A517-51G is based on a 14nm Core i3 6006U processor. The chip has 2 cores operating at a frequency of 2 GHz, with good energy efficiency and low heat dissipation. DDR4 RAM is pre-installed with 4 GB and can be expanded up to 16 GB. A 1000 GB HDD will provide years of storage. This volume is especially relevant if you plan to install large game distributions.

Graphics card with 2 GB of video memory

This is made possible by a discrete NVIDIA GeForce graphics card with 2 GB of video memory. Video adapters of this series cope with most modern games and demonstrate more or less comfortable frame rates in them. However, it will not be possible to launch the really demanding offspring of the gaming industry, since the dual-core processor will be the weak link in this chain.

The screen with a diagonal of 17" has a resolution of 1600x900 pixels and is made using TN + film technology. Indicators like colour reproduction, maximum brightness and viewing angles are average. However this is striking only in the case of games or if the laptop is taken out into the street. However, in the price category up to $ 500, better screens, in principle, are not found.

Versatility

Of the pluses, it is worth highlighting the presence of a modern USB-C port (in addition to it, there are a couple of USB 2.0 ports and one USB 3.0) and a built-in HD webcam.

In general, this model from Acer looks like a universal laptop, which can be called both working and multimedia with equal success.
