Design and Features
By Raspberry Red chassis, the E5-471-59RT stands out in a sea of silver and gray laptops. It measures about 1.25 by 13.75 by 10 inches (HWD), and weighs 4.25 pounds. It is certainly light enough to carry around the house, but it is too bulky to fit comfortable on an airline tray table in coach. Its chassis is identical to the Acer Aspire E5-471G-53XG, including the size, screen, and port placement. The pricier E5-471G-53XG is a more performance-oriented model with a separate graphics processor, double the memory, and a more sedate white color scheme.
14-inch screen of the system with 1366-by-768 resolution, which is unusual for a budget system. Viewing angle LCD panel is narrower than in an In-Plane Switching (IP) screen as seen in the HP Chromebook 11 (Verizon LTE), but the screen is clear and pretty useful when looking patay- on. E5-471-59RT wanting a touch screen, but these are rare in the price. Instead, the one-piece, multitouch touchpad is your primary interface to the system, and it is responsive and efficient tracking. It is placed in the middle under the non-backlit keyboard. Sound from the built-in speakers is clear, but pretty soft. Movies and listening to music is best done in a quiet room.
The keyboard is comfortable to use, although the keys are flat rather than sculpted in Lenovo and the Lenovo Z40 Flex 2 (15-inch). Sharp-eyed users will notice that the Enter key sharing a cutout keyboard deck with the backslash key. Making it so that you can share Acer parts with its European and Canadian models, with L-shaped Enter key.
Acer has put a healthy number of I / O ports on the chassis. You'll see an Ethernet port, an HDMI port, a headset jack, a Kensington lock port, an SD card reader, two USB 2.0 ports, one USB 3.0 port, and a VGA port. It is a better choice than you would see with Chromebook or ultrabook. There are 802.11 b / g / n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 for wireless connectivity.
The removable battery is a plus, because it can be easily replaced once it stops holding charge. All batteries are long wear out, especially if you leave the laptop plugged in all the time. Replacing spent batteries can extend the life of the system, especially if your family sharing electronics or lends them to relatives.
The system has 4GB of memory and a 500GB, 5,400rpm hard drive. While hard drives with higher capacity than, say, a 64GB solid-state drive, it is slower and you can feel it when you first start up the system for the day. There are plenty of free space, although there are also a plethora of extra pre-loaded bloatware. We counted over 21 extra tiles on the Start screen, including programs such as Amazon, Booking.com, eBay, Hulu Plus, iStoryTime, Netflix, Stumble On, and Wild tangent games. While some of these may be useful to you, there are many programs to sift through. The regular desktop interface has more tacked on taskbar programs, including the Amazon (again), eBay (ditto), Spotify, and Pokki Start Menu. The extra clutter up the screen. If you're looking for a cleaner Start screen, you need to budget the afternoon to uninstall all of the extras you do not want. The E5-471-59RT have one-year warranty.
