Acer A515-51-G71R 15.6" 2017 Overview

The 15.6" Aspire 5 Laptop from Acer is an ideal laptop for users looking to accomplish everyday tasks such as browsing the Internet, composing and editing documents, and streaming online shows and movies. Powered by a 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7-7500U dual-core processor and 8GB of DDR4 RAM, it can efficiently multitask and quickly access frequently used files and programs. For storage, it's equipped with a 1TB 5400 rpm hard drive, which provides you with ample space for music, pictures, and videos. If you need more room, you can connect external storage solutions using its USB ports.

Its 15.6" display, driven by an NVIDIA GeForce 940MX graphics card with 2GB of GDDR5 VRAM, has a 1920 x 1080 Full HD resolution for crisp and clear Full HD content reproduction. With a dedicated graphics card, it can handle more graphically demanding workloads and even some gaming. Thanks to its HDMI port, you'll be able to connect an additional display for enhanced multitasking and larger viewing. Connect to the Internet via 802.11ac Wi-Fi or the Gigabit Ethernet port for a more stable and reliable wired connection. Other integrated features include an SD media card reader, a webcam, microphones, speakers, and a mic and headphone combo jack. The operating system installed is Windows 10 Home.

Upgrade as You Wish
On the bottom of the laptop are compartment doors that allow you to upgrade its storage and memory as you see fit. Simply remove the cover, replace the parts, and reinstall the cover.
Comfortable Viewing
Acer's BlueLightShield technology reduces blue light emissions for a more comfortable viewing experience with less eye strain.
Acer TrueHarmony
Acer TrueHarmony speaker design reduces distortion, delivers a wide range of bass, and increases volume for clearer audio.
180° Hinge
With a 180° hinge, the display of the Aspire 5 can be laid flat for additional viewing options.
Windows 10
Start Menu
After its hiatus in Windows 8, the Start Menu has returned. Utilizing a combination of the traditional menu system and Windows 8's Live Tiles, the improved Start Menu gives you more information at a glance, showing notification information alongside your applications and other pinned items.
Cortana
Microsoft's digital personal assistant, Cortana, can answer your questions with information gleaned from both your device and the Internet at large. You can type or even talk with her, if your system has a microphone. Using her Laptop, Cortana keeps track of your needs and wants, and she learns over time to improve her information-gathering skills.
Microsoft Edge
After nearly 20 years, Microsoft has finally replaced its Internet Explorer web browser. With Microsoft Edge, users can write directly on web pages and share notes with friends and colleagues. It also improves the online reading experience by adding a distraction-free mode and read-it-later functionality. Edge also has built-in Cortana integration; you can have her help you find a restaurant, make a reservation, and pull up directions without leaving your browser.
Windows Store
For Windows 10, Microsoft has unified the Windows Store. Now, apps for PCs, tablets, and phones will all be accessible from one place. And with support for Universal Apps, one version of an app can work across all your compatible devices automatically.
Windows Continuum
Windows 10 was designed for a variety of screen sizes and input styles, and with its Continuum feature, it automatically adapts to fit your needs. A Windows 10 tablet on its own requires a touch-centric approach, but attaching a mouse and keyboard will shift everything to a more traditional interface. You can even attach an external monitor to your Windows 10 phone for a near-desktop experience. But it's not just the operating system; Windows Universal Apps take advantage of Continuum as well.
Xbox on Windows 10
Gaming is a big focus of Windows 10. Xbox integration allows for PC players to match up against Xbox One players on supported games, and if you have an Xbox One, you can even stream compatible titles to your PC. Native support for recording with the new Game DVR feature makes it easy to capture and share your gameplay. The new DirectX12 takes better advantage of multi-core processors, giving games a performance boost, even on older hardware. Windows 10 also features native support for virtual reality headsets, such as the Oculus Rift.
