Acer Aspire 5 Review

Latest pricing, specs and Acer Aspire 5 gaming laptop review. How many PC games will it run? Is it a good choice for a PC gamer? Should you buy this laptop?

This Acer laptop features a Intel HD Graphics 620 graphics card, an Intel Core i3-7100U CPU and 8 GB of RAM.

You get a 15.6 inch screen laptop, which for a gaming setup is midsize. The PC weight is 6.6 lb (2.99 kg).

As for price this is a cheap, budget gaming laptop under $500. But obviously that will impact how many games you can run.

Unfortunately, this laptop won't run games like Fortnite, Apex Legends, Minecraft, PUBG and GTA V. PCGameBenchmark reviews are based on how many of the best PC games a PC can run. This laptop can run 379 of the top 1000 games - so we give it a 37% rating.

However, since this popular general purpose laptop is frequently discounted, keep an eye out for what could be some amazing Black Friday savings. Give yourself a minute or two to look for an Acer Aspire 5 Amazon discount deal in the Black Friday 2023 sale.
