Acer Aspire V5-571
Overview
The Acer Aspire V5 series is designed to provide and thin and light computing experience at an affordable price. Despite being relatively thin, the V5-571 packs an Intel Core i5 processor, 6GB of RAM and a 500GB hard drive. The specs might not be as impressive as the latest Ultrabooks, but the V5 delivers some decent hardware for the price.
Build and Design
The Aspire V5-571 has a utilitarian exterior made of anti-glare dark gray plastic. It feels reasonbly thick but is a continuous reminder of the fact that this is a budget notebook. Design-wise there is almost nothing distinguishing save for the chassis being less than an inch thick. I'm thankful that there is no glossy plastic (save for the display surface, of course).
