Aspire 5 A515-57G-56DQ 2022 (12th Gen i5-1235U, RTX 2050, 8GB, 512GB, 15.6″ FHD)

You can buy the Aspire 5 powered by 12th Gen Intel laptops in Nepal for a relatively affordable bargain. Let’s take a look at the Acer Aspire 5 (2022) in more detail, including its specs, features, latest price, and availability in Nepal.

Acer Aspire 5 (2022) Overview:

Design and Display

Let’s start with the design. There is hardly any change made to the chassis of this year’s Aspire 5 laptop. Acer has continued the same-old formula of a plastic body with an aluminum lid. The latter is available in multiple colors. However, the availability depends upon the region.

The hinge on the Acer Aspire 5 (2022) elevates the keyboard deck to a certain degree. Opening the lid, you are greeted with an LCD screen with an 81.18% screen-to-body ratio. While you can choose between 14″ and 15″ screen sizes, only the FHD version is available in Nepal so far.

Performance and Cooling

Under the hood, you get the latest 12th Gen Intel CPU based on the new hybrid architecture. Thus, the new 2022 version performs considerably better than the Acer Aspire 5 2021. The base variant of the Acer Aspire 5 (2022) comes with the Core i3-1215U with 4 Efficient-cores and 2 Performance-cores. You can opt for the Core i5-1235U, which brings 8 Efficient-cores and 2 Performance-cores.

All the Acer Aspire 5 (2022) laptops come with Intel Iris Xe graphics. However, few of them even have dedicated NVIDIA GPUs like the MX550.

Acer Aspire 5 (2022) adopts a dual-fan cooling setup with dual-copper pipes to keep its core temperature in check. Acer has even included an air-inlet keyboard for more heat dissipation. Users can switch between multiple cooling/performance modes by pressing Fn+F.

Memory Options

As for memory, Acer Aspire 5 (2022) starts at 4GB of DDR4 RAM and 256GB SSD. However, Acer offers plenty of upgrade options. The dual-SODIMM memory slots can be configured with up to 32GB of DDR4 RAM. Likewise, the presence of an additional vacant SSD slot means you can upgrade the storage up to 2TB.

Rest of the specs

Fueling the Acer Aspire 5 (2022) is a 3-cell 48Wh battery, and it ships with a 65W round-tip power adapter. Talking about ports, you get three Type-A, one Type-C, HDMI, ethernet, and a 3.5mm headphone/microphone combo jack. For wireless connectivity, it supports Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1.
