Review Acer Aspire V5-571P-6499 Notebook

Touch on a budget. Acer's touchscreen-equipped Aspire V5-571P-6499 is a slim and affordable, yet stylish 15.6-inch notebook featuring a low-voltage Intel Core i5 processor, a 500GB conventional hard drive, and 4GB RAM. Is the touchscreen enough to...

Acer Aspire V5-571P-6499

The Acer Aspire V5-571P-6499 offers a responsive touch screen and great audio for $699, but its short battery life and wonky touchpad are turnoffs.

Responsive touch screen; Strong audio performance; Spacious backlit keyboard

Short battery life; Touchpad has trouble with Windows 8 gestures; Poor webcam quality

Click to EnlargeIn many ways the Acer Aspire V5-571P-6499 is a satisfying Windows 8 notebook, combining an accurate touch screen, good performance and robust audio. Still, with an anemic battery life of just over 4 hours, you won't want to leave home...

Acer Aspire V5 Touch

While the bulk of press attention has been on touch laptops with high price tags, Acer has decided to make touch available at a much lower price point. The Acer Aspire V5 Touch is another example of this effort. Based on the inexpensive...

Low power draw ; Inexpensive for a touchscreen laptop

Unpleasant keyboard and touchpad ; Touchscreen use seems an afterthought ; Short battery life ; Lackluster performance ; Poor hardware value

Examining this laptop point by point, feature by feature, results in too few pros and many cons. Acer is offering too little laptop for too high a price.

Acer Aspire V5-571P-6499

After starting with high-end proof-of-concept models such as the Acer Aspire S7 and Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga , touch screens are moving into mainstream Windows 8 laptops.

The Acer Aspire V5 has a decent design, midrange configuration, and a touch screen, all for a very reasonable price.

While slim and reasonably attractive, this is still a plastic laptop. The weak battery keeps it from being a great road system.

For under $700, the Acer Aspire V5 proves that a touch screen can work in a budget-priced Windows 8 laptop without cutting too many corners.

Expert review by: Jamie Bsales (computershopper.com)

Acer Aspire V5-571P-6499

For the past few years we've been impressed by Acer's 15-inch Aspire laptops—not for their looks, but for their ability to deliver above-average performance and features for a budget price. The Aspire V5-571P-6499 adds the sharp looks to round out the...

Low price ; Slim design ; Onboard optical drive ; Spacious, responsive touch screen ; Backlit keyboard

Mediocre Webcam ; Weak speakers ; LAN and VGA connections require included dongle

A thrifty price and big, responsive touch screen make the Acer Aspire V5-571P-6499 a pleasant way to make your acquaintance with Windows 8. It's also surprisingly slim for a 15-inch budget notebook, but miscellaneous gripes keep it from perfection.

Acer Aspire V5 11.6" Ivy Bridge notebook review - Liliputing

"Very frustrating, wouldn't recommend"

The screen on this laptop began to develop these bright spots after only a few days of use. Not dead pixels, unable to get rid of them. Now, after having this for a month, there are 7 or 8 of these bright spots all around the screen and they are...
