For a 15 - inch desktop replacement laptop , the V5 - 573PG - 9610 is pleasantly thin and light . Measuring 0.90 by 15 by 10.1 inches ( HWD ) and weighs 4.85 lbs, it is significantly lighter than both the 5.6 - pound TouchSmart HP Envy 15t - J100 Quad Edition and Choice Asus N550JV - DB72T the 5.68 - pound Editors' .
The Power button is located on the left corner of the laptop , which is a little uncertain , it is not very easy to understand to find, and it is positioned in such a way that it is easy to accidentally press the button and enter your system to sleep lightly when you want to pick it up and carry it across a room .
The chiclet - style keyboard layout Acer Sports average , with the Enter key and the Backslash key combined with a larger L - shaped . There is a numeric pad on the right , with the key that is slightly narrower than those found in the keyboard right . Typing is pretty comfortable and quiet , but can think of some spacing of the keys to be a bit wide . The touchpad is fairly large , with a finish that matches the brushed aluminum palm rest .
The 15.6 - inch display has a 1,366 -by - 768 resolution , which is less than we expected at this price - both Asus N550JV - DB72T and HP 15t - J100 Quad Edition offers 1080p ( 1,920 - by- 1 , 080 ) . However , supports 10 finger touch screen , a requirement for a Windows 8.1 machine , and the display has a durable hinge to hold up well against the taps and touch , while still easy to open and re- position . With four integrated speakers and Dolby Home Theater software enhancements V4 , the sound quality is good enough to enjoy a movie or show without headphones, and it provides enough volume to fill the room .
Features
The V5 - 573PG - 9610 has two USB 2.0 ports and an SD card slot , along with a single USB 3.0 port , an HDMI output , and a compact Ethernet port . A Kensington lock slot case provides some physical security , and you get 802.11n Wi - Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 + HS for wireless connectivity .
Most of the ports are on the rear of the laptop instead of the right and left side . While it allows for a slimmer design , it is also a bit inconvenient having to reach around the back of the laptop just to plug an HDMI cable . Behind the system with another small connector , Acer is owned Port Converter , which can be used for VGA , USB , or Ethernet through an Acer Converter Cable ( $ 34.99 , sold separately ) . It is a strange gift , because it will be useful only if you need a VGA output or extra USB port because you already get an Ethernet port . The laptop packs a 1TB hard drive , which also offers plenty of room for storing your files , but are not quite have the impetus to strengthening performance offered a solid - state drive ( SSD ) or flash memory cache .
As with most Acer systems , this one has its share of preinstalled apps and programs . There are proprietary apps , such as Acer and Acer Remote File Reader ( file sync and sharing ) , and month - long trial of Norton Internet Security and Microsoft Office 365 . You'll also see the Getting Started page full of apps such as StumbleUpon , Spotify , Music Maker Jam , Netflix , and Hulu Plus . There are several apps for ebooks and news , such as the Kindle Reader , Zinio Reader , and NewsXpresso . The apps all offer some utility , but then there are bloatware , like some sample games from WildTangent , and links to shopping sites like eBay and Amazon . One app bundle in common with the system is Evernote , which happens to be one of the more useful apps preinstalled , yet it is curiously absent here . Covered Acer V5 - 573PG - 9610 with one- year warranty on parts and labor .
