Display, Build, and Portability

The chassis is constructed from metal, giving the laptop a premium feel that is uncommon in its price bracket. Despite the solid build, the Acer Aspire 5 tips the scale at just 1.57 kg, making it genuinely portable for students and professionals who carry it to college, the office, or a gaming cafe.
