Performance:
Acer E5-573G has a powerful processor that will take care of the most tasks – i5-5200U. This is a ultra low voltage CPU with two cores that run on 2.2GHz and 2.7GHz turbo speed. Its Broadwell architecture is a lot better than the older 4th generation of processors so you should expect a lot of improvements in the performance. The numbers say that the i5-5200U is up to 5-15% faster than i5-4200U (Haswell) and has the similar speed as i5-4300U (Haswell). Obviously, this CPU has enough power to handle all multimedia and office demands as well as multitasking.
You get a 1TB of storage space if you decide to buy this model. At this moment, this is the largest hard drive available on laptop. Of course, not everyone needs this so you can choose to install a SSD and have your programs load faster.
Display comes at a standard size of 15.6″. It’s advantage is that it has a full HD resolution which will benefit all those people who like to watch HD movies on their laptop. It should be noted that this is a regular TN panel, not an IPS. Viewing angles may not be the best, but I’m sure you’ll be happy with the display quality. Although the OS is Windows 8.1, which is a touch-friendly OS, the display doesn’t support touch, however, I’m using windows 8 everyday and don’t meet any problems with a normal screen. (Note: Acer E5-573G-59C3 only have a 1366×768 screen)
When it comes to graphics, Nvidia GeForce GTX 940M is installed in this laptop. It would be hard or impossible to find a better graphics card in a laptop that is priced under $600. It’s predecessor, GeForce 840M, is technically very similar but it is about 5 to 10% slower. You will be able to play many games released in the last 2 years, although you will have to use 1366×768 resolution and meduim settings. Some high end games such as Assassin’s Creed Unity can be ran on this graphics card as well, but you will have to lower the details and resolution a bit.
