An affordable laptop with too many faults
The Acer Aspire 5 isn’t a game-changer. Its design is so subdued that it's barely noticeable and its Core i5 processor and integrated graphics won’t blow you away with their performance. But for a seriously affordable $549, the Aspire 5 serves up a solid audio system and has enough power to get the job done, whether the task is writing up a report, video chatting with family or watching a movie.
+ pros
- Affordable
- Good sound quality
- Full selection of ports
- Upgradeable
- Runs cool
- cons
- Middling performance
- Below-average battery life
- Mushy keyboard

- Up-to-date components
- Good build quality
- Decent performance
- Well priced
- cons
- Cheap-feeling touchpad
- Screen isn’t the most vibrant
- Not as light and thin as other laptops
