Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the Acer Laptop Battery
The V5-571-6869 has a full-size keyboard, with chiclet keys and a compact numeric pad—the number keys are narrow, but still very usable. The clickpad combines the right and left mouse buttons with the touchpad surface instead of using individual buttons. The 15.6-inch 1,366-by-768 widescreen display has a 16:9 aspect ratio, and white LED backlighting makes it reasonably bright. The laptop's audio capability gets a software boost thanks to Dolby Advanced Audio v2, but you'll probably want to stick to headphones or an external set of speakers, as the sound quality is fair to middling.
Measuring 0.9 by 15 by 10 inches (HWD) and weighing 5.07 pounds, the V5-571-6869 with battery like Acer UM08A71 battery , Acer UM08B72 battery , Acer UM08A74 battery , Acer UM08B74 battery , Acer Aspire One A150L battery , Acer BTP-25DI battery , Acer Travelmate 330 battery , Acer BTP-ASJ1 battery , Acer Aspire 3620 battery , Acer TravelMate 2420 battery is a little heavy when compared with the slim Lenovo IdeaPad U310 $729.99 at Walmart.com(3.75 pounds), but is similar to the 4.5-pound Fujitsu Lifebook LH532 $599.00 at Fujitsu America. While it's not very portable, the V5-571-6869 is nonetheless light enough to slip into a backpack to carry across campus or on a commute.
The V5-571-6869 features one USB 3.0 port, two USB 2.0 ports (one with power for charging while asleep), HDMI output, and a combined LAN/VGA port. The combined port uses an included adapter to provide both a VGA monitor connection and Fast Ethernet, but the adapter is a Y-cable so you'll need to carry the adapter for both functions even when you may only need one or the other. An integrated card reader lets you pull images from your camera's memory card, and a tray-loading DVD+-RW dual-layer drive takes care of your disc-burning needs.
The V5-571-6869 comes with a 500GB hard drive, but you may need to do some cleanup on the new system, as it comes loaded with a hefty amount of bloatware. On the desktop you'll find links to Ebay and Netflix, as well as icons for Skype, Nook for PC, and Acer Clear.fi, a proprietary networked media storage and sharing solution. Dig into the Start menu, and you'll also find programs like Evernote, Fooz Kids, Norton Online Backup, a 30-day trial of McAfee Internet Security, and Microsoft Office Starter 2010. Acer jumps onto the dogpile with several branded programs, like Acer Backup, Acer Games, and Acer Instant Update. Acer also covers the V5-571-6869 with a one-year warranty on parts and labor.
The V5-571-6869 is equipped with a 1.7GHz Intel Core i5-3317U processor, the same low-voltage, dual-core processor found in the Lenovo IdeaPad U310, but the V5-571-6869 pairs it with 6GB of memory instead of four. In Cinebench R11.5, the V5-571-6869 had scores nearly identical to the Lenovo U310 (2.39 points), but fell behind the Editors' Choice Sony VAIO E15 (SVE15116FXS) $924.59 at Amazon Marketplace, which scored 2.86 points thanks to a standard-voltage processor. In PCMark 7 performance tests, the V5-571-6869 scored 2,438 points but fell behind the similarly-equipped Lenovo U310 (3,570 points). The V5-571-6869 completed Handbrake and Photoshop in 2 minutes 59 seconds and 4 minutes 34 seconds, respectively, which indicates better multimedia performance than is generally found in the budget laptop category.
