Acer Aspire M5-583P-5859 15.6″ Sleek Laptop with Intel i5, Touchscreen

The Acer Aspire M5-583P-5859 is a stylish 15.6-inch laptop PC with a good Intel Core i5-4210U dual-core processor, touchscreen support, and relatively low price.

The M5-583P-5859 is encased in a 0.9-inch thin aluminum chassis with silver-colored brushed finish on both palmrest and lid. The base of the notebook holds a chiclet style keyboard with backlight and numeric pad and a spacious one-piece trackapad with integrated left and right click buttons in it. The chassis is a bit interesting in comparison to other laptops, since its ports are mostly clustered on the rear instead of the sides. Overall, there are three USBs, HDMI output, a media card reader, Acer’s proprietary Converter port which can be used as VGA video out or USB via adapter cable, and Ethernet network jack. For wireless connectivity, the laptop provides Wi-Fi networking, WiDi wireless display technology, and Bluetooth.

The performance of this laptop will satisfy those users who don’t want to encounter any hiccups during daily chores and who occasionally do some more complex stuff like video and photo editing. In addition, the i5-4210U will provide even some gaming muscle thanks to the integrated Intel HD 4400 graphics. It can be used for playing the latest games if you dial down detail settings and resolution. 6GB of RAM is there to provide seamless operation of Windows and programs during heavy multitasking sessions. For the hard drive, the laptop has a usual 500GB unit, while DVD burner is missing.

Speaking of resolution, Acer’s M5-583P-5859 has a 1366-by-768 pixel count on the multitouch-enabled 15.6″ panel. On the top LCD bezel, Acer has embedded a webcam with support for 1280 x 720 resolution and there are stereo speakers built-in.
