The newer Cinebench R11 showed 6.1 points in Multi Rendering. Thus our V3 571G scored, for example, 5548 points in Cinebench R10 64 Bit Single Rendering and 20558 points in Multi Rendering. In both single- and multi-core tests, the results remained without deviations. In order to evaluate how the CPU in our test unit behaves in comparison to similarly equipped devices, we performed a series of CPU oriented benchmarks. Our Benchmark list of mobile processors and the Performance comparison of current Ivy Bridge quad-core processors allows you to order them in terms of power. You can find more details about the CPU in our CPU database. In idle state, in order to save energy, the frequency drops to 1200 MHz. Thanks to the Turbo Boost, the basis frequency of 2.3 GHz can be increased to 3.3 GHz. Hyperthreading allows the four physical cores to process up to 8 threads simultaneously. The Intel Core i7-3610QM in our test unit is an entry-level quad-core processor from Intel's latest Ivy Bridge family. Thus the two keys work relatively silent. The stroke of the corresponding buttons is short and the pressure point fairly low. Overall the touchpad does fit individual needs. We still think that the sensitivity of the Tap-to-Click is too high in the 15.6-inch notebook. The gliding on the abraded surface is good. The Elan Smart Pad supports multi-touch gestures and is clearly separated from the rest of the housing.
We are satisfied with the mechanical properties of the keyboard, clear pressure point, and the medium stroke. Slight deviations from the standard layout are the missing spacings in the area of the left Shift and Enter keys. After a short period of familiarization, this should cause no problem when typing. Fortunately, the 15.6-inch notebook comes with a separate numpad. The arrow and function keys are, as is so often the case, significantly smaller. KeyboardĪ chiclet keyboard with 15 x 15 mm (0.59 inches) large alphanumerical keys is installed. Therefore, we will summarize only the main characteristics. The input devices are visually and mechanically very similar to those in the larger V3 771G. WarrantyĪccording to Acer, all of the V3-571G models come with a two-year warranty (24 months) including Pick-up-&-Return service, one year of which is International Travellers Warranty. On the other hand, the cleaning of the fan proves to be more difficult, because you would need to disassemble the device. The hard drive, system memory, and the WLAN module are accessible through a maintenance cover. Apart from these, there are several Acer tools and software pre-installed by third parties. This can easily be done with Acer's eRecovery Management Tool. The user is responsible for creating a recovery DVD. In addition to the battery and the power supply, we find a quick start guide and a warranty leaflet. The package basically contains only the most necessary accessories. All of the communication modules meet the current technical standards. The Bluetooth 4.0 rounds up the communication options. The Atheros AR5BWB222 Wireless Network Adapter supports IEEE 802.11 a/g/n and allows more or less, depending on the infrastructure, a fast connection via Wi-Fi hotspot. Via the Broadcom NetLink BCM57785 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet controller (10/100/1000 MBit), the 571G can be connected to a Gigabit Ethernet network. In addition, the notebook can be opened with one hand. The teetering when changing the opening angle is within limits. The hinges do a good job and hold the display relatively secure in place. When lifting the display at one corner, it barely gives in and no picture distortions were observed. The torsional rigidity of the display lid is sufficient. Creaks, wobbling, and unequal component fittings were not observed. The rigidity of the plastic housing, apart from the usual weak point above the optical drive, remains without criticism. The use of a higher quality material is desirable, but given the low entry price, the material choice is fine. Fortunately this criticism does not apply to the keyboard with silver border, which gives the V3 an elegant touch, and the abraded matte keys. The sticky feeling corresponds to the material and is not convincing. The Aspire V3 sparkles in the areas of the display lid, the screen bezel, and the palm rests, although even after a short period of use, these are covered in visible finger prints and dust particles.
The glossy piano black surfaces guarantee a sensation right after unpacking. On the outside, the housing strongly reminds us of its larger brother, the Aspire V3-771G.
