The Aspire 5 15 (Aspire 5 A515 Series) 512GB / 8GB is Acer's 2020 laptop featuring a height x width x depth (in mm): 19.7 x 365 x 243 ( = 0.78 x 14.37 x 9.57 in) display, the Intel Core i7-1355U 10c/12t, 2 x 5.0 GHz Intel Golden Cove P-Core, 8 x 3.7 GHz Intel Gracemont E-Core, 55 W PL2 / Short Burst, 28 W PL1 / Sustained, Raptor Lake-U chipset. At AED 1,199 in the UAE and ₹28,990 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Aspire 5 15 delivers exceptional multi-core CPU performance with its Intel Core i7-1355U’s 10 cores and 12 threads, paired with a dedicated RTX 2050 with 4GB GDDR6 VRAM—rare at this price—for light 3D rendering and 1080p gaming. The 16GB DDR4-3200 in dual channel ensures smooth multitasking. Battery life is limited to 5–6 hours under moderate use due to the 48Wh pack and power-hungry GPU. Weight at 1.794kg is acceptable, but thermals throttle sustained GPU loads after 20 minutes. Storage is SATA-based, not NVMe, capping read speeds at ~550MB/s. In UAE at AED 1199, it’s good value because no other laptop under AED 1300 offers RTX 2050 and 10-core Intel. In India at ₹28990, it’s overpriced—competitors like the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 offer similar specs with NVMe storage for ₹25000. Choose only if you need discrete graphics on a tight budget.
