About this deal
Thanks to the large bezels and 16:9 display aspect ratio, the Aspire 5 is wider than many 15-inch laptops. It delivers fast rendering and video processing, so you can focus on your ideas with fewer interruptions.
For less demanding tasks, the device alternatively uses the CPU's Intel Iris Xe integrated graphics. Alongside the announcement of Ryzen 7000 desktop CPUs, AMD also announced the brand-new AM5 socket and 600-series chipsets that AM5 boards will feature.
This is the first Core i5-1235U we’ve tested, but we have the Core i7-1255U with a max Turbo frequency of 4. Better audio delivers a competitive edge as well as a more immersive experience through dual 2W speakers.
With a 512 GB SSD, you'll get a speedier, more reliable experience than you would with a regular hard drive. But the total absence of anything akin to bass and also very little by way of mid-range results in a very thin overall audio experience. Whether the Aspire 5 2022 version would make its way back onto our recommended list had a lot to do with the quality of its display.

But it also uses IPS panel technology, which should put it a cut above many value-orientated laptops in terms of colours and contrast. Featuring the next generation in connectivity: Wi-Fi 6E,1,3 perfect for high-speed file sharing and smooth 4K streaming, and Bluetooth® 5.
