Product details

Imagine you sit down at the computer. It recognizes you as an authorized person, quite conveniently without a complicated password. Then you take off on a test flight - in the middle of which you ask yourself what the altitude record of the SR-71 is. Your digital assistant knows the answer. Speaking of records, of course your notebook starts up (almost) as fast as "The Flash" and is especially flat. Sound like a comic book hero? Not at all. All you need is a modern notebook or convertible with Windows 10: Windows Hello facilitates the login in cooperation with IR camera, fingerprint sensor or PIN code.

The digital assistant Cortana is your personal Jarvis. Thanks to modern memory like eMMC, SSD or Intel Optane, your Windows Modern device is slim and fast. On devices with Windows Ink, you'll even write on the screen with a stylus. And if rogues and villains attack you during the day, you won't be bothered by them, because a whole team of heroes is fending them off in the background. Finally, any security vulnerabilities in Windows 10 will be fixed for many years - unlike the old Windows 7, whose support is limited to ten years.

A large 17-inch display, lots of SSD storage, high working speed and many connections: The Aspire 5 A517 is the almost perfect replacement for a desktop PC. Why only almost? The display of the notebook is weak, it is neither particularly bright nor rich in contrast and true to colour.
