In review: Acer Aspire E1-571G

For the original German review, see here.

A frequent question asked when buying a laptop for around 500 Euros (~$651) is whether an Intel or AMD processor should be installed. In this price range, only few manufacturers offer strong processor from Intel's Core i-range and they are partly energy-efficient ULV processors that only provide limited power. Intel's Core i3-3110M from the latest Ivy Bridge generation lets Acer's Aspire E1-571G virtually stand out among the affordable entry-level laptops as a unique selling point. It also includes an Nvidia GeForce GT 620M that should have enough power to render up-to-date games in low details.

However, Acer's Aspire E1 range can also be configured. Buyers who want to invest less can opt for an Intel Pentium processor alongside the integrated Intel graphics card for less than 400 Euros (~$520). Those looking for more power can opt for Intel's Core i5-3210M besides more storage capacity for roughly 600 Euros (~$781), which is also an interesting offer. We have already tested a laptop based on the same chassis dubbed Acer Aspire E1-531.

There is enough competition among low-budget devices; even Sony has a Vaio for less than 500 Euros (~$651) in its range, although the manufacturer is specialized in stylish designer devices. Affordable devices are sooner expected from Packard Bell, but the manufacturer belongs to Acer and sends in a test device that features an Intel Core i3 from the second generation. As mentioned, Dell wants to satisfy buyers looking for long battery runtimes with the Inspiron 15R featuring energy-saving processors. Samsung's NP355V5C-S05DE costs a bit over 500 Euros (~$651) and is completely based on AMD components. Smart-savers can also find something by HP and Asus in the form of AMD-based laptops for less than 500 Euros (~$651).

对于的德国原装审查,在这里看到。

一个常见的​​问题问500欧元左右(约$651)购买一台笔记本电脑时,是否应安装Intel或AMD处理器。在这个价格范围内,只有少数制造商提供强大的处理器从英特尔的酷睿i范围内,他们是部分高效节能的ULV处理器,只提供有限的功率。英特尔的酷睿i3-3110M最新的Ivy Bridge一代几乎让宏碁的Aspire E1-571G中脱颖而出实惠的入门级笔记本电脑作为一个独特的卖点。它还包括一个Nvidia的GeForce GT620M,应该有足够的力量来呈现最新游戏在低细节。

然而,宏碁的Aspire E1范围也可以配置。买家谁想要投资少,可以选择的英特尔奔腾处理器,集成英特尔图形卡旁边不到400欧元(约$520)。寻找更多的权力,可以选择英特尔酷睿i5-3210M,除了更多的存储容量大约600欧元(约$781),这也是一个有趣的提议。我们已经测试了一台笔记本电脑被称为宏碁Aspire E1-531基于相同的底盘。

有足够的低预算的设备之间的竞争,甚至有一个索尼的Vaio少于500欧元(约$651),在其范围内,虽然是一家专业从事时尚设计师设备制造商。负担得起的设备越早Packard Bell的预期,但属于制造商宏碁和发送的测试设备,其特点是从第二代英特尔酷睿i3。如前所述,戴尔希望满足买家寻找具有节能处理器的Inspiron灵越15R的电池运行时间长。三星NP355V5C的S05DE成本有点超过500欧元(约$651),并完全基于AMD成分。智能储户也可以找到由惠普和华硕基于AMD处理器的笔记本电脑不到500欧元(约$651)的形式。

Case

Glossy surfaces define the laptop
Glossy surfaces define the laptop

Plastic, plastic, plastic - Acer does not offer more for this price. The display's glossy-black lid is comprised of plastic, just like the wrist-rest in silver-gray and the keyboard's matte rim. Acer gives the Aspire E1-571G with basic, elegant looks that should not put anyone off. Fans of flashy design details will have to look elsewhere because a rather serious contour prevails here, which is not unusual but quite appealing.

We quite like the build-quality. Apart from the keyboard that yields, the casing makes a very rigid impression. Even the single plastic parts are joined well and no uneven transitions are felt. The display's lid could be a bit stiffer but no miracles should be expected for 500 Euros (~$651).

Users who place great value on exceptional design will be better off with Samsung, which offers a pink lid as an option. Dell also offers various metal surfaces in different colors for its Inspiron 15R. Sony is very traditional in both build and design and maintains these qualities in the low-budget sector. The Aspire E1-571G remains unobtrusive.

塑料,塑胶,塑料 - 宏基并没有提供更多的这个价格。显示器的光泽的黑色的盖子是由塑料,,就像手腕休息,银灰色,键盘的磨砂轮辋。宏基给出的Aspire E1-571G基本的,优雅的外观,不应该让任何人。华而不实的设计细节的球迷将不得不寻找其他地方,因为这里一个相当严重的轮廓盛行,这是不寻常的,但相当有吸引力。

我们很喜欢构建质量。除了键盘,产量,外壳使得一个很死板的印象。即使是单一的塑料零件连接以及无凹凸不平过渡的被感到。显示器的盖子,可能会有点严厉的,但应该预计为500欧元(约$651)没有奇迹。

特殊设计的很有价值的用户将更好地与三星作为一个选项,它提供了一个粉红色的盖子。戴尔还提供各种金属表面,以不同的颜色,它的Inspiron15R。索尼是非常传统的构建和设计,在低预算的部门,并保持这些特质。的Aspire E1-571G仍然显得突兀。

Connectivity

The interface diversity on Acer's Aspire E1-571G corresponds to class standard. We deem the lack of even one USB 3.0 port weak since the cheapest devices already sport one. The USB ports are installed very far front on both the casing's left and right so that connected peripherals collide when, for example, using a mouse. The card reader that supports many formats, from xD picture cards over SD cards up to memory sticks, appeals to us. Unusual ports are searched for in vain but at least the laptop sports a VGA port, which Dell omits on the Inspiron 15R.

宏碁的Aspire E1-571G的接口多样性对应类标准。我们认为缺乏甚至一个USB3.0端口弱以来最廉价的设备已经运动之一。很远的前面安装了USB端口的壳体的左和右边,使连接的外围设备的碰撞时,例如,使用鼠标。读卡器,支持多种格式,xD图像卡,SD卡,记忆棒,给我们的上诉。搜索不寻常的端口是徒劳的,但至少在笔记本电脑体育一个VGA接口,戴尔Inspiron灵越15R省略。

Communication

Not every laptop from this price range sports a Gigabit Ethernet adapter such as Acer's Aspire E1-571G. However, all devices used for comparison feature Wi-Fi standard 802.11 bgn like our Acer test laptop. Our test device also scores in Wi-Fi transmission. The reception did not weaken even at a distance of 10 meters and 3 walls to the router. Acer's Aspire E1-571G does not feature Bluetooth, which is unfortunate when the user wants to link a phone with the PC or owns a Bluetooth headphone. However, HP and Asus do not include this wireless interface either.

Software

The 64 bit version of Windows 8 is installed as the operating system. The additional program dubbed "Acer Power Button" is a practical improvement of the operating system. The laptop can be shut down, put to sleep, etc. directly from the desktop.

Besides a bit of annoying adware from eBay or LoveFilm, there is also convenient software, such as Acer Cloud which allows accessing stored data even in remote places. Smaller additions, like EverNote, Skitch and the social media hub "Social Jogger" complete the bundle.

Warranty

Acer includes a 2 year bring-in warranty on the Aspire E1-571G. In case of damage, the laptop has to be sent to the manufacturer. An "International Traveler's Warranty" is also included. The laptop can be sent to a service point anywhere in the world when traveling for 12 months after purchase. Only the shipping costs within the country are due.

It is also possible to upgrade the warranty via Acer's online shop. For example, a one year warranty upgrade costs 79 Euros (~$102). This investment could be worthwhile despite the laptop's low price if the user want to be on the safe side.

沟通

并不是每一个从这个价格范围内的笔记本电脑体育千兆以太网适配器,如宏基的Aspire E1-571G。然而,所有的设备用于比较功能Wi-Fi标准像我们的宏基测试笔记本电脑802.11 BGN。我们的测试设备在Wi-Fi传输的成绩也。接待处并没有削弱,甚至到路由器的距离为10米,三面墙体。宏基的Aspire E1-571G不具有蓝牙功能,这是不幸的,当用户想连接配合PC机或手机拥有蓝牙耳机。但是,惠普和华硕不包括无线接口。

软件



安装64位版本的Windows 8操作系统。额外的程序被称为“宏电源按钮”是一种实用的改进的操作系统。笔记本电脑可以关机,把睡觉,直接从桌面。

除了从eBay或LoveFilm恼人的广告位,也有方便的软件,它允许访问存储的数据,即使在偏远的地方,如宏碁云。较小的增加,像Evernote的,Skitch和社交媒体枢纽“社会慢跑”完成的捆绑。

 保

宏基带来包括2年的保修期的Aspire E1-571G。在损坏的情况下,笔记本电脑已被发送到的制造商。 “国际旅行者保修”也包括在内。笔记本电脑可以发送到服务点,在世界任何地方旅行时,购买后12个月。是因为只有在该国境内的运费。

它也可以通过宏碁的网上商店,保修升级。例如,一年保修,升级费用为79欧元(约$102)。这种投资可能是值得的,尽管笔记本电脑的价格低,如果用户想要在安全方面。

Input Devices

Keyboard

Big keys, a dedicated number pad and the entire surface covered by keys - the keyboard of Acer's Aspire E1-571G looks stylish with its square keys. However, typing on the keyboard is not as compelling. The keyboard is very bendable and features a spongy typing feel. The big surface of the single keys compensate for the small gap between the keys.

Special keys, such as for volume control, are not available. These functions are accessed using FN key combinations. A highlight of the keyboard is a dedicated euro and dollar sign key above the arrow keys. They could have been omitted considering the very cramped keyboard and the fact that both signs are on the keyboard anyway.

Touchpad

The touchpad has been nicely integrated into the wrist-rest and is very far left. The scroll area at the right edge is clearly palpable and visible. A key below the touch-sensitive field can be pressed on the right or left and prompts the corresponding mouse click. The keys convey a firm impression when clicked, which is particularly due to the crisp pressure point. The drop of the touchpad's keys is also well-chosen, so neither too short nor too long and also makes a high-quality impression on us.

The surface provides the fingers with good gliding traits and multi-touch gestures are supported. The desktop can be zoomed in and out like on the touchscreen of a smartphone, which is very useful in Windows 8. The touchpad key is convenient to use. Left and right clicks are well-separated on the continuous bar.

键盘

大按键,一个专用的数字键盘,按键覆盖整个表面 - 宏基的Aspire E1-571G的键盘看起来时尚的方形键。然而,在键盘上打字是不一样引人注目。键盘是非常弯曲,并设有一个海绵状的打字感觉。大单按键表面补偿按键之间的小缝隙。

特殊键,如音量控制,无法使用。这些功能是使用FN组合键来访问。键盘的一大亮点,是一个专门的欧元和美元符号键上方的箭头键。他们可能已经考虑非常局促的键盘和一个事实,即在键盘上的两个标志反正省略。

触摸板

触摸板已经很好地集成到手腕休息,离开很远。滚动区域的右边缘清楚扪及可见。可以按下面的触摸敏感的领域的一个关键的右侧或左侧,并提示相应的鼠标点击。键传达一种坚定的印象,当点击时,由于这是特别到清脆的压力点。触摸板的按键下降也是精心挑选的,所以既不能太短也不要太长,也使得我们的高品质的印象。

表面提供良好的滑翔性状,并支持多点触摸手势的手指。桌面可以放大和像智能手机的触摸屏上,这是非常有用的,在Windows 8中。触摸板的键可以方便地使用。左,右点击分隔上连续的酒吧。

Display

The glare-type, 15.6-inch screen of Acer's Aspire E1-571G can reproduce 1366x768 pixels. This is the common resolution for the entry-level category. The screen's LED TN technology is just as common and only allows slight viewing angle deviations when looking at the screen. The screen offers class average brightness rates. Only Sony can offer somewhat higher rates here. The illumination of 88% is homogeneous and the colors look quite vivid owing to the reflective coating.

We measured this before calibrating the TFT (state of delivery) and ascertained a very high DeltaE 2000 deviation of averagely nearly 19. This means there is weakness in reproducing gray shades. Striking: The white point is shifted in the blue range with 7597 K. The color fidelity is also everything but accurate. Blue, cyan and magenta clearly deviate from the ideal DeltaE (<5).

The picture quality is absolutely satisfactory for everyday work, watching movies and games. Compared with color profiles, such as sRGB or even AdobeRGB, proves that the screen can only cover both color spaces to a certain degree, but that is only important for professional tasks for which Acer's Aspire E1-571G is hardly suitable anyway.

画面质量是绝对令人满意的日常工作,看电影和游戏。相比颜色配置文件,如sRGB或AdobeRGB的,证明它的屏幕只能覆盖到一定程度,这两种色彩空间,但宏基的Aspire E1-571G反正是很难适合的专业任务,这是唯一重要的。

The moderate brightness and glare-type screen make the Aspire E1-571G unsuitable for outdoor use. Although it is possible to work with the laptop in the shade, the screen cannot outshine the light of a cloudy day, let alone a sunny day.

As indicated above, the screen's TN technology leads to fairly unstable viewing angles. That means colors and brightness deviate on the screen when the user moves right, left, up or down from a frontal position. These changes are most perceptible on the up and down plane. An IPS screen could remedy this, but none of the contenders can offer one in this price range either.

Altogether, the screen is acceptable for the price range and application fields of Acer's Aspire E1-571G. Sony offers a higher resolution and somewhat brighter screen in its 17.3-inch Vaio SV-E1712F1EW laptop. Otherwise, all contenders are roughly on a par with our test device. Looking at Acer's Aspire V3 might be worthwhile for users who put special importance on the picture quality. An IPS screen is available for a price starting at 650 Euros (~$846).

Performance

For us, one of the most exciting chapters is performance. Can Acer's Aspire E1-571G stand out from the competition with its Intel Core i3-3110M and the dedicated GeForce GT 620M featuring 1 GB of memory? Smooth workflow, watching movies and the occasional game should at least be possible in low details.

Processor

An Intel Core i3-3310M is installed in Acer's Aspire E1-571G. It is based on Intel's latest Ivy Bridge architecture. Unlike the more expensive models from the Core-i range, this processor does not feature CPU Turbo. Consequently, its default clock of 2.4 GHz cannot be increased. This maximum clock was available on battery power or during longer load in our test device and the performance remained constant.

Our test device scored as expected when the synthetic Cinebench loads all processor cores. It achieved a clear performance advantage of 10 - 20% over the entry-level Pentium B980 processors in Sony's Vaio SV-E1712F1EW and HP's Pavilion g6-2200sg. AMD's A4-3305M in Asus' K53-TK is clearly defeated with 50% in multi-core operation. All contenders are quite close in single-core processor load.

System Performance

Our test device also stands out from the competition in PCMark, which rates the system's overall performance. A large part of this is certainly due to the superior processor. The devices otherwise only differ marginally in performance relevant components.

Acer's Aspire E1-571G is perfectly equipped for routine use of an entry-level multimedia laptop. Movies in the screen's native resolution or via HDMI to a Full HD monitor are no problem. Routine work should also run smoothly. The system can be upgraded to 8 GB of working memory if pictures or videos are to be edited.

Storage Devices

The hard drive in our system is dubbed Toshiba MQ01ABD050. It has a capacity of 500 GB and spins at a slow 5400 revolutions per minute. The hard drive's capacity is adequate for the price range. Only Samsung's NP355V5C sports a larger 750 GB hard drive. Asus K53TK is only available with a smaller 320 GB HDD. The access and transfer rates are on an average level. We did not record outliers in either direction. Users who want faster data access can replace the hard drive with an ultra-swift SSD after removing a few screws.

Graphics Card

The GeForce GT 620M ranges in the lower midfield of graphics cards. Consequently, it should be able to render up-to-date games in low details. It might also be necessary to reduce the resolution. The graphics card features a 1024 MB dedicated memory and uses Nvidia's Optimus to save power. The energy-efficient, processor-integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000 takes care of low load and the GeForce automatically jumps in during demanding tasks unnoticed by the user.

The graphics card's power was not throttled even after longer load or on battery power. It maintained its full clock rate of 625 MHz. Our test device was approximately on a par with the contenders, which exclusively use AMD graphics cards, in 3DMark 06. Only Dell's Inspiron 15R scored by about 20% higher with its newer AMD Radeon HD 8730M.

Gaming Performance

Mass Effect 3 ran smoothly in low settings
Mass Effect 3 ran smoothly in low settings

Just how suitable is the Intel Core i3 processor and the lower midrange graphics card combination for gaming? Our test shows that the stronger processor gives our test system a small advantage in some games. However, the performance is largely dependent on the GeForce GT 620M. It can render many up-to-date games in medium detail settings as long as the games are not exceptionally demanding.

Stuttering may occur when the screen gets too crowded in Anno 2070 and Diablo 3 still runs smoothly even in high settings. However, the performance gets tight when too many monsters occupy the screen here as well. Thus, it is recommendable to select a lower detail level to really experience a stutter-free game. These games can usually be played in the native resolution because the screen's resolution is fairly low.

Overall, Acer's Aspire E1-571G is on the same performance level as the other entry-level laptops. The better processor can only squeeze out minor performance advantages in games. Users who want to play in higher resolutions and with more details will have to invest a few hundred Euros more and opt for a laptop featuring a Radeon HD 7730M, GeForce GT 640M or higher.

Emissions

System Noise

Acer's Aspire E1-571G has to be stressed to quite an extent before it becomes audible. The fan virtually whirs silently with a maximum of 32.5 dB and is sometimes completely inactive during very little load. Our test device's noise increased up to an audible 43.2 dB when it was really loaded, but it remained within a still tolerable range.

It is also pleasant that the DVD drive does not get too loud with 35.8 dB when playing a movie. Generally, the noise from the Acer Aspire E1-571G is quite within the common range for this category and will likely only disturb very noise sensitive people when loaded.

Temperature

The temperatures also remain on a good level. The laptop's center only warmed up to 40.8 °C during longer load, which is only a slight warming. The fact that the wrist rest heats up in low load is not as pleasant. However, it remains within a tolerable range. Sony's Vaio SV reaches much higher temperatures despite its larger casing.

Speakers

A good sound is vital for a multimedia device. The competition partly installs brand name speakers, such as Altec Lansing (HP and Asus), but with quite varying outcomes. Acer's Aspire E1-571G manages to extract a decent maximum volume from both no-name speakers located above the keyboard. The sound is also quite balanced and good for laptop conditions, although the low ranges are virtually non-existent like in most cases. Users who like to listen to music on their laptop should prefer external speakers or a headphone. The sound output via the audio port was flawless in our test device.

Energy Management

Power Consumption

Acer's Aspire E1-571G drained a maximum of 55.4 watts from the outlet and quite clearly places itself as an energy-saver before the Samsung and HP contenders, which are not as strong. It is not due to the power supply unit. The handy power adapter from LiteOn supplies 90 watts when necessary, which seems a bit oversized for our test device.

The device proved to be modest and consumed a maximum of 11.5 watts during little load. The device still consumed 0.2 watts from the outlet when it was turned off and 0.5 watts in energy-savings mode. Dell's contender proves to be the leader and only consumes 0.1 watts when turned off and 0.2 watts when idling.

Battery Runtime

The battery runtime of our test device is also on class level. The 44 Wh battery, which can be removed using a pointy object, provides a runtime of up to 8:20 hours when it is hardly loaded and all communication modules are disabled. Acer is fair and states a runtime of 4:30 hours on its website, which corresponds to a much more realistic measurement. For example, we almost achieved this exact runtime while surfing on the internet. The runtime should also be enough for watching two DVDs. Almost 2 hours of work is possible when Acer's laptop is fully loaded.

Verdict

Acer's Aspire E1-571G is a solid entry-level device that does not exhibit any major weaknesses. However, it does not feature any highlights like the competition sets in one way or another. Fans of design will be better off with devices from Dell or Sony. Samsung offers more interfaces and HP's Pavilion g6-2200sg sports better speakers, which is not unimportant in a multimedia device.

Acer's test device can score with a strong Core i3 processor from the Ivy Bridge generation, which makes it 20% faster than the competition in many applications. Even games can be played well in low details alongside its noise development, power consumption and temperature, where the device stays agreeably discreet.

A better screen, more interfaces and a higher quality keyboard would have reaped in a few more points for the device. Nevertheless, the Aspire E1-571G is an alternative for everyone who wants a bit more performance from the entry-level range for their money.
