Acer Aspire V5-571 Review

Ultra-budget laptops powered by dual-core Intel Pentium processor and 2GB RAM are best suited only for basic everyday tasks such as media playback, web browsing, using office suite and social networking. If you want more power for snappier performance...

At an MRP of Rs 30,899, the Aspire V5-571 is quite reasonably priced, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t look elsewhere. There are models that offer better value for money, such as the Lenovo Essential G580—it costs almost as much as the Aspire V5-571...

Notebookcheck's Best of July 2012

Back to the Basics.During the month of July we didn't evaluate any elite gaming systems. We rather focused on subnotebooks, business and multimedia laptops. Our test systems spanned the entire gamut: from the thin-and-light MacBook Air 11, to the...

The Asus Transformer Pad Prime TF201 was already a great tabled ranking near the top in the tablet segment. There is no question that Asus upped the ante with the Infinity

Acer Aspire V5-571-6891

The Acer Aspire V5-571-6891 ($499.99 list) is a Windows 8 budget desktop replacement laptop with very few compromises. It comes with a large 15.6-inch display with a full keyboard, multi-touch trackpad, DVD burner, dual-band (2.4GHz and 5GHz) Wi-Fi,...

Great Price. 6GB of memory. Full keyboard including numeric keypad. Core i3 processor with Intel HD 4000 Graphics. 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi. Good speakers and sound

No Touch screen. Only one USB 3.0 port. Dongle for Ethernet and VGA. Bloatware in desktop mode

The Acer Aspire V5-571-6891 comes in as a price leader: under $500, yet it's a fully functional desktop replacement laptop rather than the stripped down netbook that you'd expect for so few ducats.

Acer Aspire V5-571

The Aspire V5-571 offers speedy Core i5 performance for a cheap price, but the design isn't very exciting.

Good everyday performance; Can handle mainstream games; Runs cool; Lightweight for 15-inch notebook

Short battery life; Bland design; Finicky touchpad

Click to EnlargeThe Acer Aspire V5-571-6869 provides good performance for a low price. This $529 15-incher is also thinner and lighter than the bargain notebook competition. However, the battery life could be better and the design is bland.

Acer Aspire V5-571-6869

The Acer Aspire V5-571-6869 ($649.99 direct) laptop may not wow you with fancy features or premium performance, but it will definitely help you save a few bucks. This budget desktop replacement laptop cuts the price without sacrificing productivity by...

Intel Core i5-3317U processor. Numeric pad

Bloatware. Ethernet/VGA combo port requires adapter

The Acer Aspire V5-571-6869 is a bare-bones budget laptop that still manages to provide solid performance and acceptable battery life.

THE KEYBOARD IS HORRIBLE

I saw this at the store and thought it looked great. I checked the specs and everything. But what I didn't do was test the keyboard. The keyboard on this is horrible. I would say 25% of the keys I strike do not register. You have to strike extremely...
