Acer Aspire five A517-51G (i7-8550U, MX 150, Full-Hard disk) Laptop Review

Fit primarily for work! The new Aspire v is based on Intel'due south 8th-gen Core series. On acme of that, the 17-incher offers a dedicated graphics menu. Unfortunately, it will only manage to impress casual gamers. In this review, yous will learn how well the new CPU generation stacks up confronting the old guard.

For the original German review, click here.

With the current Acer Aspire 5 A517-51G, Acer conducts product maintenance and replaces the presently widespread seventh-generation Intel Core i Kaby Lake processors. The new CPUs class the foundation of the Acer Aspire 5 A517-51G. To exist exact, we detect in our test device the Intel Core i7-8550U, which has 8 GB of RAM at its disposal. An Nvidia GeForce MX150 ensures good multimedia performance. The operating organization is located on a 256 GB SSD, and a 1 TB hard drive offers enough storage infinite for other data. Together with the 17-inch Full HD IPS console, buyers are going to take to fork out 1089 Euros for the device with our review configuration, which Acer currently offers in its in-house store. However, in the lowest configuration, the Acer Aspire v A517-51G costs 699 Euros. In this case, one must forgo the dedicated graphics bill of fare and an SSD. 1 will accept to brand sure concessions with the display, too. Because the lower-priced device offers but a resolution of 1600x900 pixels. The processor still offers four cores, however at present it goes by the name of "Intel Core i5-8250U".

You can meet the devices we have selected for this review in the table below. Both HP devices are based on the faster Intel Cadre i7-7700HQ processors. Yet, we used these devices to show what the 8th generation can offering in terms of performance.

The instance of the Acer Aspire 5 A517-51G is made predominantly out of plastic. Nevertheless, the upper side of the chassis has been given an Aluminium finish. In terms of colour, the device is rather bourgeois. Silver accents spice up the look of an otherwise blackness-colored example. The brandish lid is adorned past an Acer logo and a vertically-striped texture, which nosotros have already seen in the Acer Aspire V17 Nitro. The chassis is quite rigid, albeit the device responds to our twisting attempts with creaking sounds. In our flex test, the chassis exhibits just minimal bending, which is well within reasonable bounds. The same applies to the brandish chapeau, which can be aptitude with some effort. However, this does not result in rippling on the screen. The hinges exercise a nifty job and have no trouble keeping the 17-inch display in a set position. Unfortunately, the hat wobbles slightly, only, in our view, the wobbling is more than acceptable. On a positive annotation, the device can be opened with i hand. However, what we must criticize are the surfaces, which are highly susceptible to fingerprints. Although, the fingerprints can be removed easily with a wet cloth.

It is clear from the size comparison that all of our devices have a similar footprint. The fact that the Acer Aspire five A517-51G takes up a surface expanse of 42.iii x 28.9 centimeters (16.6 x xi.4 in) is non surprising, for a 17-inch laptop. With a weight of 2.9 kilograms (half-dozen.4 lbs), our examination device, along with the Acer Aspire F5 and the HP Omen 17, belongs to the lightest devices in our comparison chart. The Air-conditioning ability adapter adds another 314 grams (0.vii lbs) to the total.

With the Aspire 5 A517-51G, the manufacturer does not follow the trend and grants the device an optical disc drive. All in all, our test device offers 4 USB ports, ii of which are based on the older USB 2.0 standard. Both USB three ports find their identify on the left side, and nosotros have determined that one of them is based on the Blazon-C standard. Therefore just one USB three.0 port is available, which should not be the case, these days. The only port for connecting an external monitor that the Acer Aspire 5 A517-51G offers is an HDMI output. A USB Type-C to HDMI adapter refused to work and, therefore, it cannot serve as an alternative solution. The ports are well-positioned and well-spaced. There should non be whatsoever problems when using multiple ports at the aforementioned time. The manufacturer has also given some thought to the ability connector (because of the angled shape it volition pb the power cable straight behind the device).

The SD bill of fare reader is located on the left side and supports all the latest formats. Yet, inserted cards protrude quite prominently from the card slot, which can hands lead to damage to the data storage device. The performance of the SD bill of fare reader shows that information technology operates with USB 3.0 speeds. With our reference SD bill of fare, Toshiba Exceria Pro SDXC 64 GB UHS-Ii, nosotros accept reached a sequential read speed of 84 MB/s. When copying JPG files, the Acer Aspire 5 A517-51G took second place in the comparison chart below, with a transfer rate of 74,ix MB/s.

Wi-Fi module
Wi-Fi module

LAN and Wi-Fi enable access to the cyberspace. The Acer Aspire v A517-51G has a Gigabit Ethernet port. The Wi-Fi module Intel Dual Band Wireless-Air conditioning 3168 is responsible for the wireless advice. Within the scope of our measurements, the Acer Aspire 5 A517-51G reached a data reception speed of 347 MB/s and a data transmission speed of 310 MB/south. Therefore the Acer Aspire 5 A517-51G takes a spot about the bottom of our comparison chart. According to the spec canvas, the Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3168 has a max speed of 433 MB/s. Unfortunately, a heave in performance is only possible with a faster Wi-Fi module.

With the Aspire 5 A517-51G, Acer forgoes biometric security measures. Merely a Trusted Platform Module (TPM two.0) is included. In addition, in that location is a test version of Norton Security on our device.

In the box, likewise the device, we establish the compact AC ability adapter, some service brochures and warranty provisions.

Fifty-fifty though, the Acer Aspire 5 A517-51G boasts two small maintenance covers, the fan, unfortunately, cannot be cleaned. Both upgrade openings are there primarily to enable access to the 2.5-inch data storage device and the RAM. Those who would like to put in an Grand.2 SSD volition accept to remove the entire back cover. Later on one undoes a number of screws, the underside can be removed with some force. Here we recommend using a handy remover and so as not to damage the plastic holder. The bottom cover can be easily removed with a bear upon of diligence. Yet, Acer could have been more customer-friendly if it had included a maintenance embrace that encompassed both the fan and the SSD.

keyboard of the Acer Aspire 5 A517-51G

Right out of the gate, the keyboard layout already resembles the Aspire series from Acer. The power button is located within the keyboard expanse (the first push button in the first row on the correct). With 16 10 16 millimeters (0.04 ten 0.04 in), the keys offer enough surface area and are not too minor. An adjacent numeric pad is a must for a 17-inch laptop, albeit here the keys have smaller dimensions. The white markings provide a nice dissimilarity to the black surface of the keys and make reading the imprinted symbols easier. We have cypher to say near the keyboard backlight, considering we were not able to find one. The pressure point is palpable, however it leaves a squishy impression. The travel distance of about 2 millimeters (~0.08 in) is conventional and well within reasonable bounds. During fast typing, the keys produce an audible clicking audio. All in all, the keyboard could have been better, considering the 1089-Euro price tag of the device.

The touchpad fits visually with the overall color scheme and is marked, around the edges, with a silver line. The surface area of x.7 x 7.9 centimeters (4.21 x 3.11 in) is smooth and offers enough jerk room. Therefore multitouch gestures are non a trouble. The touchpad works well even at the edges. The buttons in the lesser expanse make a clear cacophonous sound when they are pressed. On the whole, we can say that the clickpad leaves a qualitatively better impression than the keyboard.

The LG brandish of our test device measures 17.iii inches (43.nine cm) diagonally and has a resolution of 1920x1080. This amounts to a pixel density of 127 ppi. As already mentioned earlier, Acer equips the lower-priced entry-level devices with different displays with a somewhat lower resolution (1600x900). The IPS panel of our Acer Aspire v A517-51G offers a very good brightness of 364 cd/thou². Here the other devices fall considerably backside, which i can see in the comparison nautical chart below. The low black value of 0.29 cd/1000² is accompanied by a skillful contrast ratio of 1369:1. Here the Acer Aspire 5 A517-51G scores to a higher place the comparable devices, also. Our review device has minor bug with the vivid distribution (84 percent) and dark scenes. Slight screen bleeding shows upwardly in the lesser left corner of our review device, although it is not noticeable during normal operation. With our test pattern, we were able to measure out PWM, just every bit with the HP Omen 17 and the Acer Aspire F5. However, the measured frequency of 122000 Hz is extremely high and should not crusade any bug for the users.

Overall, the provided picture quality can be described as good. Hither the coaction between the low blackness value (0.29) and the good contrast ratio (1369:ane) makes for a very good presentation. The average DeltaE 2000 deviations of the grayscale (3.1) and the colors (three.88) are very depression. A scale of the display can provide some improvement. We have linked the appropriate ICC profile and made it available for downloading. The measured color space coverage is rather boilerplate with 84 % for the sRGB colour space and 55 % for AdobeRGB. Therefore the device is only suitable for casual image editing.

The loftier brightness (364 cd/m²) in combination with a matte display makes for good outdoor usability. One can work with the device fifty-fifty on a sunny day. In the shade, in some circumstances, the brightness can even exist reduced, which can extend the battery life.

Display Response Times

ℹ

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to modify from one color to the next. Tedious response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to announced blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attending to fast response times.

↔ Response Time Black to White

This ways that the measured response time is worse than the boilerplate of all tested devices (37.one ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally exist undetectable to the human being centre. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.

Screen flickering / PWM detected 122000 Hz ≤ xc % brightness setting

The display backlight flickers at 122000 Hz (Likely utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a effulgence setting of ninety % and below. There should exist no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting.

The frequency of 122000 Hz is quite loftier, and so most users sensitive to PWM should non notice whatever flickering.

In comparison: 52 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the brandish. If PWM was detected, an boilerplate of 22039 (minimum: v - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

When testing the viewing angles, nosotros have observed a typical IPS panel with slight clouding around the edges, which results in very minor color deviations. However, the screen of the Acer Aspire 5 A517-51G has very stable viewing angles. During normal utilise, no bug should arise.

Our review configuration is the top variant of the Acer Aspire 5 A517-51G. The Intel Core i7-8550U offers plenty performance for piece of work and multimedia applications. With a dedicated graphics bill of fare from Nvidia (GeForce MX150), one tin play a diverse range of video games. Even the entry-level device, which is based on the Intel Core i5-8250U, offers enough base performance to justify its designation equally a multimedia device. Even so, we recommend that the users brand sure that their device is at least equipped with an SSD, in order to bargain with the disadvantageous loading times which are associated with conventional difficult drives.

The Intel Cadre i7-8550U is a ability efficient quad-core processor which is based on the Kaby Lake architecture. Despite its four physical cores, the TPD only amounts to 15 watts. The base clock speed comes in at 1.8 GHz, and it can exist dynamically increased upward to 4.0 GHz. In social club to boost performance in multi-threaded applications, Intel has integrated the well-known Hyper-threading technology into the i7-8550U. Therefore the i7-8550U has 8 threads at its disposal. The single cadre performance of the new SoC has been significantly increased, thanks to the high 4.0 GHz clock rate. Therefore the i7-8550U-based Acer Aspire 5 dominates in the Cinebench R15 Single-Core benchmark with a score of 171 points. In the Cinebench R15 Multi-Cadre benchmark, the performance of the Intel Core i7-8550U is restricted, because of the hard-set ability target. Hither the i7-7700HQ-based devices manage to deliver much better results. However, with a TDP of 45 watts, these devices consume considerably more power.

For the boosted benchmarks for the Intel Core i7-8550U, click here.

We test how well a processor'due south operation holds up nether continuous load with the Cinebench R15 Multi-Core criterion running in a continuous loop. For a short while, the processor drew 44 watts, which is reflected clearly in the results, because during our offset criterion run the CPU scored 584 points. During the 2nd benchmark run, the score sank to 544 points. All subsequent benchmark runs achieved similar results, therefore there are no other fluctuations in performance to study. Numerically, this means that the CPU'due south functioning drops by most 7 % nether continuous load.

The high CPU operation makes for consistently good results. Hither the increase in performance that Intel promised shows itself in almost every area. The sensible storage solution (SSD+HDD) results in a very responsive organisation. eight GB of RAM is not very much these days, but it is plenty to run all the latest applications. All in all, we can say that working on this device is a lot of fun and that the loading times are barely noticeable.

The Acer Aspire 5 A517-51G, in our review configuration, comes equipped with an Thou.2 SSD, on which the operating arrangement is located. A conventional 2.5-inch HDD serves equally an boosted storage device to provide enough space for multimedia content. The SSD from Micron offers SATA speeds, which is substantiated by our test results. The SSD achieves a sequential read speed of 494 MB/south and a sequential write speed of 404 MB/s. The 4K read speed of 25 MB/s is in proficient order, likewise (which makes small files load faster). The 5400 RPM hard drive comes from Western Digital. HD Tune handed in an average transfer rate of some 92 MB/s. Not an entirely perfect result, given that comparable hard drives achieve somewhat better transfer rates.

The Intel UHD Graphics 620 and the Nvidia GeForce MX150 are responsible for prototype rendering, whereby the Intel UHD Graphics 620 deals with the 2nd applications and the Nvidia GeForce MX150 takes care of the 3D applications. The appropriate graphics adapter is selected automatically, depending on the type of activeness (the user does not have to do anything). The Nvidia GeForce MX150 has 2 GB of GDDR5 video retention at its disposal. In terms of performance, it is significantly slower than the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 and is on the same level as the somewhat older Nvidia GeForce GTX 950M. Equally the new component of the refreshed Kaby Lake processors, the Intel UHD Graphics 620 relieves the processor during video playback and thus insures longer battery life in 2D applications.

You can find more benchmarks for the Nvidia GeForce MX150 and the Intel UHD Graphics 620, here.

The Acer Aspire five A517-51G is fit for occasional gaming, however, in recently released titles, ane will have to brand certain concessions in terms of the graphical settings in order to deal with frequent performance drops. The Nvidia GeForce MX150 is the only available defended graphics solution for the Acer Aspire 5. The lower-priced entry-level devices without a defended graphics card fall hopelessly backside in terms of 3D operation. The operation of the Nvidia GeForce MX150 is roughly equivalent to that of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 950M.

The heat pipe and the fan work very well together, as a issue of that, the heat dissipates very well from the device. Equally the image below shows, the hottest spot is located on the upper side of the chassis atop the keyboard. With twoscore.iv ° C (104.72 ° F), the Acer Aspire 5 A517-51G is considerably cooler than all the other devices in our comparison chart. During the stress test, we stress the organization for at least one 60 minutes with Furmark and Prime95. In the process, the Nvidia GeForce MX150 reached a maximum temperature of 88 °C (190.4 °F) and the Intel Core i7-8550U's temperature peaked at 90 °C (194 °F). Despite the relatively high temperature, the graphics card operated with a stable cadre clock of 1600 MHz. The CPU as well maintained a stable clock charge per unit of 1.8 GHz. A subsequent 3D benchmark run showed that the continuous load had near no outcome on the results of the 3DMark xi criterion. Following the stress test, the upshot remained well-nigh identical to what we saw during a cold start.

sound characteristics
sound characteristics

The stereo speaks observe their place at the edges of the wrist residuum. Due to the downwardly-facing openings, the sound is reflected off of the tabletop. If the device is located on a soft surface, the audio becomes somewhat dulled. Because of the minor membranes, which do not have a large air volume, the mids and the highs prevail. The lows are not entirely lost and make themselves known. The maximum volume comes in at 72 dB(A), which is a decent consequence. However, the small membranes pop and crackle, which makes listening to the device unpleasant. One can connect external sound systems to the device via the 3.five-mm headphone/microphone jack.

frequency diagram in comparing (checkboxes can exist checked and unchecked!)

The power consumption of the Acer Aspire 5 A517-51G is very pocket-sized, when compared to the devices that we have used in this review. The processor and the graphics card are primarily responsible for well-nigh of the free energy consumption. Whiling idling, our test device consumes 4.1 to 9.viii watts. Under load, the power consumption peaks at 66.iv watts. Still, nosotros recorded an boilerplate of 64 watts under full load. Under load, the devices with significantly faster graphics cards eat considerably more than power, which is what we would expect to see. Nevertheless, the devices included in this review for comparison purposes should non be judged too harshly. The fact that the battery of the Acer Aspire 5 A517-51G did not concur at 100 % nether full load is quite striking. This means that the battery was discharging, despite the fact that the device was plugged in. With 65 watts, the Ac adapter falls short of properly supplying the device with energy, when it comes to the maximum operation. Here a more powerful Air conditioning adapter tin be of assistance.

Thanks to the relatively low energy consumption, the battery life of the Acer Aspire v A517-51G is in good order. With 48 Wh, the built-in battery is not very large. In our view, a somewhat larger bombardment, at the expense of the optical disc drive, would be a sensible option. According to the manufacturer, a single charge should ensure up to 7 hours of operation. This claim proved true, only only during idle functioning (9 hours 20 minutes). In our practically-oriented Wi-Fi examination, the battery held for six hours and 19 minutes, earlier the device needed to be plugged in. To ensure the consistent weather, we had to reduce the brightness of the display by six levels. This corresponds to a display effulgence of 150 cd/m². A complete accuse takes about two hours (not excessively long). When running on battery power, the 3D performance is non affected drastically, as a result we achieved 4158 points in 3DMark 11.

The Acer Aspire 5 A517-51G is a multimedia notebook, which is fit for everyday tasks quite well. With the arrival of the 8th generation of Intel's Cadre series, the CPU performance was significantly increased. The Intel Core i7-8550U has enough functioning reserves so equally not to become a slice of obsolete hardware in the about time to come. 8 GB of RAM is sufficient for about usage scenarios, plus upgrading to 20 GB should non present whatsoever trouble. A combination of an SSD and an HDD makes for a very responsive system. For 1089 Euros, consumers go a chic, elegant 17-inch notebook, which weighs merely below three kilograms (6.half-dozen lbs).

Above all, the Acer Aspire 5 A517-51G wins one over with very good CPU performance while consuming (relatively) piddling free energy. Furthermore, with the Nvidia GeForce MX150, the Acer Aspire five A517-51G offers an entry-level graphics card, which tin run a wide range of games quite well.

The IPS display rounds the relatively good package off and wins over with its loftier brightness. I can describe the AC adapter equally somewhat undersized, because the bombardment should not be discharging under full load. The input devices, likewise, leave a rather ambivalent impression. Still, the touchpad does a peachy job, whereas the typing comfort of the keyboard suffers a footling.

I was already interested in technology from an early age, and I was able to report for my dream job as an It Systems Electronics Engineer. Later on, I started 12 years of military service, during which I learned a lot about engineering science and constantly kept my knowledge up to date with the latest developments. As I like to share my noesis, I plant Notebookcheck was a very adept opportunity for this. In addition, I likewise work a lot with water cooling and network security.
