Acer Aspire 5 15 A515-58GM-50CH 2023 (Intel Core i5-13420H, RTX 2050, 8GB, 512GB, 15.6" FHD)

Here, we will cover the Acer Aspire 5 2023 (i5 13420H, RTX 2050), its specs, and current pricing and availability.

Acer Aspire 5 (A515-58GM-50CH) 2023 Overview

It’s got power at an affordable price

One of the major highlights of this Aspire 5 is definitely the H-class chip inside. It’s got an 8 Core (4 Performance + 4 Efficiency) i5 13420H Intel CPU that clocks up to 4.6GHz. With this, you can not only hope for snappy single-core performance for everyday activities like launching applications and exploring the web but also take on heavier things like rendering for example.

Design and Display 

Talking of other things like the build, it’s just about what you’d expect from a budget notebook. You are getting an 18mm thick machine that weighs about 1800 grams and is made mostly out of plastic. That’s not exactly heavy or bulky for a laptop so it’d be perfect for students and office folks. The weight of the charging brick isn’t specified but given the 90W label and drawing from experience, the overall package of around 2 kilos for everyday commute is just about the sweet spot.

Moreover, the 15.6-inch screen is an IPS panel with a Full HD resolution and 16:9 aspect ratio. The colors, refresh rate, and brightness levels aren’t especially interesting but hey look at that price tag once more.

Battery and Others

Now that we are done with the major stuff, other things like battery life, ports, and connectivity also deserve mention. The battery is unfortunately the same 50Wh cell you’d get in the U-powered laptops so expect less than 4 hours of battery life because of the more powerful CPU. Onto the ports, there’s a Thunderbolt 4 port, so you can reduce some of the heft I talked about earlier by using a PD charger for both your phone and laptop. Complementing that you get three 5Gbps Type-A ports, an HDMI, an ethernet jack, and a 3.5mm audio port.
