The Acer Aspire 5 A515-51G-53V6 is a mid-range 15.6-inch notebook PC with Windows 10 OS. Regularly priced at around $600, the A515-51G-53V6 offers very decent specs and features for the price.

The fairly light 4.4-pound notebook features sharp Full HD screen resolution, keyboard backlight, and aluminum base top cover, while the rest of the chassis is made of plastics. Inside, the laptop packs an excellent processor – the 8th Gen Intel Core i5-8250U, and a dedicated Nvidia GeForce MX150 2GB video card instead of only basic integrated graphics. Furthermore, the Aspire 5 A515-51G-53V6 comes with sufficient DDR4 RAM size for all regular tasks of the average user – 8 Gigabytes of it. Finally, for storing data locally the machine uses a 256GB solid state drive instead of old and slow hard drive technology. According to Acer, the battery life of the notebook is “up to 7 hours”.

On the negative side, IPS display technology for wide viewing angles is missing and that’s the main downside of this laptop model.

The Acer Aspire 5 A515-51G-53V6 comes pre-loaded with Windows 10 Home operating system and support for Amazon’s Alexa personal assistant.

Specifications

Here are the specs of the Acer Aspire 5 A515-51G-53V6 with descriptions of its features. For comparison against other laptops, you can use the "Compare Specs" button.

Brand

Acer is among the top 10 laptop manufacturers in the world. The company is mostly known for their affordable Aspire notebook PCs, but they do make some higher end models as well, including gaming laptops.
Laptop Type

This laptop features a clamshell-only design, without the ability to convert into a tablet.
Screen Size

This is by far the most popular laptop screen size. It provides a lot of screen real estate while avoiding the bulkiness of 17.3" laptops.
Screen Resolution

Full HD (FHD) is the most common laptop screen resolution today. It provides a good image sharpness and a decent amount of space on the display for the user interface and programs. However, it isn't as good as the top-tier 4K Ultra HD. On the positive side, FHD tends to consume less power than 4K.
Touchscreen

This laptop doesn't support touchscreen input.
Other Display Specs

Displays based on the old TN technology lack wide viewing angles you can find on IPS screens. The colors may look washed out or inverted at certain viewing angles.
Processor (CPU) Intel Core i5-8250U 8th Gen (enables smooth everyday computing)
Graphics (GPU) Nvidia GeForce MX150 2GB dedicated video card (for light gaming, but with improved smoothness)
System Memory (RAM) Size

The 8GB RAM size is the standard one in 2023. It provides comfortable multi-tasking for the most home and office users. Keep in mind that 8GB may be not enough for some demanding programs and many newer games.
Data Storage

256GB is a decent capacity. If you tend to download and store a lot of large files like movies and install many programs, 512GB or more is a better choice.
DVD Optical Drive

Keyboard & Input

The keyboard has backlit keys and a separate numeric pad on the right side of the keyboard.

HD 720p resolution

This is the most common web camera resolution in laptops. However, it's low in comparison to camera resolutions of modern smartphones, so it can't produce as sharp picture.
Wi-Fi Wireless 802.11AC

The 802.11AC is the previous-generation wireless networking standard. It's also known as Wi-Fi 5. 802.11AC is succeeded by 802.11AX Wi-Fi 6 with data transfer speed and multi-device connectivity improvements.
