Our test sample showed a large gap between two plastic parts at the front and required us to properly set the two pieces together. However, flaws in workmanship gave reason for criticism. Nonetheless, the base unit appeared relatively robust.

In our testing, we observed that the case of our Aspire V5-571G depressed slightly in the areas around the optical drive and below the keyboard under strong pressure. While many ultra-slim notebooks suffer from stability issues, some seem to do worse than others.

Had the 2-centimeter (0.79-inch) display bezel been a bit narrower, an even more compact exterior could have been possible.

Despite its considerable footprint, the notebook appears easily manageable and portable due to this slim build. Moreover, the 23-millimeter (0.91-inch) thickness stands out at first glance. The black, matte finish found on all surfaces further increases the utility of the case by reducing the visibility of fingerprints even if it falls short of doing the same for dust.Д¬ompared to other 15-inch devices, it weighs only 2.3 kilograms (5.1 pounds) as opposed to the 2.5 to 2.8 kilograms (5.5 to 6.2 pounds) that is typical for this class. To circumvent this premium, Acer instead uses a simple but nonetheless appealing plastic case for the Aspire V5-571G. One of the primary factors behind the generally-high price points of current ultrabooks is the use of expensive, high-grade construction materials for the case. Will this qualify the notebook for our recommendation? Find the answer to this question and more in our review.

As a result, the Aspire V5 series will be seen primarily as a slim alternative to classic multimedia laptops. However, these competitors are almost always in a much higher price bracket. Only a handful of competing notebooks, such as the Samsung 900X4C, even exist. The system configuration is rounded out by 4 GB of RAM and a 500 GB hard disk.ДЄcer is one of the first major manufacturers to offer this self-proclaimed вЂњultra-slimвЂќ class of notebooks using large, 15.6-inch displays. Gaming fans will be pleased with the addition of a dedicated Nvidia GeForce GT 620M video card. Instead of an economy model, this notebook uses the more powerful Ivy Bridge Core i5-3317U dual-core processor. This 15-inch notebook also makes use of a ULV (ultra low voltage) Intel processor. In this review, we will consider the top-of-the-line Acer Aspire V5-571G which carries a 600 Euro (~ $750) price tag. This notebook is designed to compete primarily with AMD-powered notebooks based on the E-450 APU. The Aspire V5-531, a decent entry-level model equipped with the power-saving Pentium 967 processor, is the cheapest of the series with a price target of merely 400 Euro (~ $500).

The Acer Aspire V5 Series is designed to fill the role of slim multimedia notebook and is available in 11.6-, 14.0-, and 15.6-inch form factors. An increasing number of traditional laptops are capable of delivering the desired performance and often at a considerably lower price. As part of the evolution of notebooks, portable computing power in a slim package is no longer limited to expensive ultrabooks.
