Acer Aspire 5 Slim A514-55 Review And Driver Download

Acer has a complete line of laptops, especially in the mainstream class that is in great demand by Europa consumers. One of them is the Acer Aspire 5 Slim A514-55. With a fairly competitive price, this device can be an ideal choice for students, students, and office employees.

Curious as to what its capabilities are? Let's take a look at tooldrivers' review for the Acer Aspire 5 Slim A514-55!

Slim and lightweight ⚙️

The Acer Aspire 5 Slim A514-55 is a 14-inch laptop with a fairly slim and lightweight body. It is 17.90mm thick and weighs 1.49 kilograms. A combination that makes it comfortable to carry on your daily activities.

Acer Aspire 5 Slim ⚙️

The design is minimalist yet elegant. It has a clean exterior, with only a small Acer logo on one side without any additional ornamentation. The variant we reviewed this time is the Gold color.

Once the screen is opened more than 90 degrees, the elevated-style hinge makes the keyboard part slightly raised and the typing sensation becomes more comfortable. In addition, this design also provides extra space for heat dissipation from the fan at the bottom.

The material feels solid with an aluminum top cover that is also premium and not easily soiled by finger marks. It makes you feel more confident when you wear it during meetings with clients, or when you bring it to school or campus for students.

The keyboard is pretty standard, but still comfortable for fast typing and of course, it's backlit with two levels. Below the keyboard is a touchpad that is not too big, and also houses the fingerprint sensor.

For port availability, on the right side there is USB 3.1 Gen 1, Audio jack combo, and Kensington Lock. While on the left Acer buried a USB 3.2 Gen 1 port with USB Charging, USB 3.2 Gen 1, Thunderbolt 4, HDMI 2.1, RJ-45 Lan, and power connector. SD card slot? Sadly, there isn't one.

IPS display 📜

The Aspire 5 Slim A514-55 sports a 14-inch IPS display with Full HD 60Hz LED-backlit TFT LCD resolution. Acer did not forget to add the Comfy View feature to make it more comfortable to look at for a long duration.

As far as our usage goes, there is nothing to complain about the Aspire 5 Slim A514-55's screen. The images are quite sharp and the color presentation is okay. There is nothing special about the color accuracy, as it is not designed for needs such as photo/video editing or graphic design.

The bezels around the screen are quite large, especially at the top and bottom. At the top of the screen, you're presented with an HD webcam that's of decent quality for taking meetings or online classes on Zoom. Talking a bit about audio, this laptop is supported by stereo speakers with a quality that we found mediocre.

Smooth performance for standard work ⚙️

The Aspire 5 Slim A514-55 is armed with a 10-core 12-thread Intel Core i5-1235U processor up to 4.4GHz with Intel Turbo Boost technology. While the graphics rely on Intel UHD Graphics, you can enable Intel Iris Xe provided you upgrade the memory to dual-channel.

Yes, the built-in RAM is still single-channel only, 8 GB DDR4. You can make it dual-channel by installing another 8 GB of RAM in the available slots. In addition, you can also add storage via the 2.5-inch SATA slot, if the built-in 512 GB NVMe Gen4 storage is not enough.

So, how does it perform? For standard daily work needs, it's definitely more than adequate. The performance is nimble enough, although it will be even better when the RAM is upgraded to dual-channel. For office work, studying, or enjoying entertainment such as watching HD movies, no upgrade is fine.

The battery lasted 6-7 hours in our usage style. If you need to charge it, Acer provides a small charger that easily fits in your bag. In terms of wireless connectivity, the laptop is equipped with WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2.

For your information, the Aspire 5 Slim A514-55 adopts Windows 11 Home operating system and comes with Microsoft Office Home & Student for free.

Conclusion 🔄

For those of you who are looking for a slim and lightweight laptop for work or study, the Acer Aspire 5 Slim A514-55 can be a very interesting option. It looks quite premium, performs well, and is easy to travel with. If you want to optimize its performance, you can upgrade the RAM to dual-channel.

Acer Aspire 5 Slim A514-55 is suitable for:

Mobile employees: The lightweight body makes it suitable for employees with a lot of activities.

Students: This laptop is ideal for young people because it has the right offerings for daily learning and entertainment needs.
