It is a budget- priced desktop replacement that predictably did not sing the fastest on the market , but its shortcomings are forgivable given its low price . And , the credit Acer , the Aspire V5 - 571 is a well-designed system with a streamlined Aesthetic not betray its affordability .

Design and Features
Attractive and slender V5 - 471-6569 measures 0.9 by 13.5 by 9.6 inches ( HWD ) and weighs 4.32 pounds - small and light enough for it to be easily mistaken for a pricier ultrabook . Although all- plastic construction of the system is not as classy as , say , theSony VAIO E15 ( SVE15116FXS ) , which is splashed with a touch of brushed aluminum , pulls the V5 - 471-6569 off the look well , with a minimalist " smoky black " after not quite as busy as the crosshatched " Trax pattern " Toshiba Satellite C655 - S5542 .
With a maximum resolution of 1366 by 768 , 14 - inch glossy display V5 - 471-6569 doing a good job of displaying the images as well as text . It was good enough for 720p , so watching movies with built - in DVD ± RW drive is easy on the eyes .

For the most part , it is a good typing experience , but the space bar only register a keystroke when pressed directly in the center . The unresponsiveness persists in touchpad . It combines the left button and right- click on the touchpad , which makes the simple act of clicking and scrolling difficult and lead us to accidentally click and drag the icons and files on many occasions . If you intend to use a separate keyboard or mouse , then these issues rarely appear on your radar .

The left side features its dual USB 2.0 ports , a USB 3.0 port , a headphone jack , a full - size HDMI port , and a LAN / VGA combo port . Although the full - size HDMI port eliminates the need for a dongle when connecting the system to a larger display , the same can not be said of LAN / VGA combo port , which is devoid of functionality without incorporating Y connector . Because the Y connector should be used even if only one of the two ports are required , this curious deficiency can be quite cumbersome .

The usual lineup of bloatware makes an appearance , including WildTangent Games , Fooz Kids , a Bing Bar and Windows Live Essentials , as well as the trial version of Norton Online Backup . Acer also includes some proprietary software as well , such as Acer eRecovery , Backup Manager , Acer Games , and more .
