Acer Aspire A515-58GM-55ZS 15.6" FHD IPS SlimBezel

The Aspire 5 is Acer’s mainstream 15-inch laptop, and this configuration adds discrete graphics to it: an Intel Core i5-1335U paired with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050 carrying 4 GB of GDDR6. That combination handles light gaming, photo work and GPU-accelerated applications that integrated graphics struggle with, without moving up to gaming-laptop pricing.

The display is a 15.6-inch Full HD IPS panel with slim bezels, and storage is a 512 GB PCIe NVMe SSD. Worth knowing before you buy: memory is 8 GB of DDR4 that is not upgradable, and there is no second drive bay, so this is a machine to choose on the specification as it stands rather than one to grow into.

Connectivity is Wi-Fi 6E with Bluetooth 5, there is a Full HD camera for calls, and the keyboard is backlit. A 50 Wh battery is charged from a three-pin 65 W adapter, and it ships with Windows 11 Home in an iron finish.
