Acer TravelMate X5 TMX514-51T-72KH, 14 Full HD IPS Touch, 8th Gen Intel Core i7-8565U, 16GB DDR4, 512GB SSD, Bio-Protection Fingerprint Reader, TPM 2.0, Windows 10 Professional

Buena pero un precio muy alto

This is a very good laptop at this price. The laptop is loaded with a lot of features some of them are only found in high-end machines. I would particularly like to point out the i5 processor and the solid-state hard drive. Add that to the 8GB RAM and it makes this a lightning-fast machine for any work. It has a high-resolution screen and a pretty decent battery life. The laptop comes with Windows 10 Pro pre-installed. It is very light in weight and you don’t even feel the weight in the backpack.

Acers TravelMate X514-51 has been an awesome piece of equipment – especially during this time of working from home. Powerful, fast, and extremely light – weighing in at 2.16 pounds. It’s almost like carrying a manila folder. This is mainly due to its magnesium alloy composition, giving it the look and feel of a plastic hard shell case. It’s so light that you might even forget you have it in your carry-on – so be careful!

had zero issues with this. love acer products. came with windows 10 and set up was easy. super light also. keyboard was right size. bought a bag and mouse.

Love the light weight

My laptop does light video and audio editing, lots of desktop publishing, and web browsing, often at the same time, which has been a problem with some laptops Ive had. This one handles it well with no lags or hiccups (two MS Office apps, 8 browser tabs, Premiere Elements all at once). The screen is sharp with warm colors that pop. The 3 USB ports (2 3.1 and 1 USB-C) handle a backup drive and USB hub with no issue. I really love that this has a full size HDMI port on it so I dont have to waste the USB-C port on a video cable. The keyboard is also identical (1/2 less wide) to a full-sized external keyboard, so typing is easy and feels good. However, because it is smaller laptop, there is no extra number pad and the Insert/Delete/Home/End/PageUp/PageDown keys do double duty with some others. However, the Fn key does turn some of the keys into a number pad (Fn+F12 [NumLk]) so you can get a true number pad on this. The keyboard is also backlit with a white light so typing in dark places is no problem. Acer did maximize space and you can see that this is significantly smaller than a 15.6 laptop (first pic) in size and is just under 3/4 in height at its thickest. It is made of a material that feels like a hard plastic but is super lightweight (just over 2 lbs.). The WiFi has great reception and is speedy.

Overall, this is a solid laptop for the price. Acer has never been my favorite brand but they do seem to offer some of the best value laptops if you cant afford something more high end. The laptop is unbelievably light. I’m used the my Lenovo Thinkpad (work station) and I feel like I still use way too much effort to pick it up, sort of flnging it up and back down again unintentionally. One concern I have is that it sounded like there is something loose in the laptop since the day I got it and I’ve yet to open up the body and find out what it is. When I picked it up, I could hear something moving around in it and I think it finally got stuck somewhere because I’m not hearing it anymore. I don’t love the keyboard, it definitely takes some getting use to how flat it is and the spacing feels a little uncomfortable. If you’re not switching between numerous laptops and keyboards, you’ll probably get used to it and rarely notice it again. For me, it feels a little unnatural and the depth of the keys feels strange. I’m sure some of this is a product of being such a thin laptop. The great thing about though is that I can fit it in any of my backpacks, even my smaller ones without issue. It’s more compact and lightweight than my Mead notebook. It’s also faster than my other computers (my more powerful work stations) but that may just be a product of being brand new. The display is nice, a little more vivid and crisp than my slightly older laptops. It was also packaged pretty well. The packing wasn’t anything too crazy, not foam or buffer padding in the box which initially scared me but it was very secure in the laptop product box. It’s hard to say exactly how well it will hold up over time but so far it seems to be a pretty good value for what you get factoring in the size. I’d recommend looking at one in person first before deciding (or check the return policy) It’s a good laptop but I feel a little awkward typing on it so I only ever use it when I’m on the go/ working outside of the house or office. Ill update again in the future as I continue to use it.

This is a great laptop for the person looking for an ultra portable powerful laptop. The laptop is big enough with a 14 touch LCD to see all your web pages clearly, but its so compact and light you will never know your packing a laptop in your bag. This thing is light. It is so light and thin it makes easy to stow away in small compartment of my luggage. The only bad thing is I am afraid it may break while in my bag. The performance of the laptop is so worth it. Fast Solid State Drive and 8GB of Ram makes this an easy speed demon. The Intel Core i5 is powerful and can handle everything I asked it to do. I would say this laptop would be a competitor to the Lenovo Yoga, or Dell XPS. I am very impressed with the battery life with this laptop as well. Love this little machine.

I wish I were a little more computer savvy, so that I could give you all the statistics and specifics about this Acer TravelMate x5 Thin & Light Business Laptop, that most people want to hear. Just know that Ive been using a computer, almost daily, for more than twenty-five years. I know what I like, and what works for me. I needed a computer that could be used for our new family business. Mostly used at home, but could be packed up and used on site. This Acer TravelMate seems to be exactly what I needed. Its very light, weighing in at just a little over two pounds. At fourteen inches, it could easily fit into most of the purses that I carry. ( Okay, who am I kidding? Any chance to buy a new bag - Im all IN!) With up to ten hours of battery life, its very portable. I can go all day without having to worry about plugging it in, and tangling with cords. The initial start up, was so easy! Cortana, your virtual assistant, created by Microsoft for Windows 10, walked me through the process, every step of the way. This Acer TravelMate has Windows 10 Professional, which was created for advanced users and small businesses, who may appreciate the advanced features, such as encryption, Remote Desktop, assigned access and more. Further bolstering your security, this computer has the Acer Bio-Protection Fingerprint Solution. All very useful features for many, who have concerns about the security of their computers, and its contents.

Theres a lot to like in this little package. Here are some quick thoughts and observations from the last month.
