Acer Launches New Touch Based Laptops Under The Aspire V5 Range

Acer Launches New Touch Based Laptops Under
The Aspire V5 Range
All new models that feature Windows 8 out of the
box, and are priced between Rs 34,550 and Rs
47,500.

Acer, a well-known brand for laptops and
consumer notebooks, today added 4 new
offerings under its Aspire series of laptops. All
the four new SKU's are a variant of the Acer
Aspire V5 which we reviewed last year . However,
the key difference among the older V5 and the
newer V5's is the presence of multi-touch
screen as the newer ones are equipped with
Windows 8.
The four new models feature processors ranging
from Pentium Dual Core to Intel Core i5 at
varying price points. Also varying among them is
the screen size which ranges from 14" to 15.6".
The new Aspire V5 touch-screen range is
designed slightly different from the one we
reviewed earlier. However, it still does retain the
chiclet-type keyboard. It has 20 mm thickness
and weighs slightly over 2 kg, which Acer claims
is 30 percent slimmer and 10 percent lighter than
a traditional notebook.
Other features include the usual you have come
to expect from notebooks these days, such as an
HDMI port, built-in optical drive, USB 3.0 ports,
card reader, Ethernet port, Webcam, and
Bluetooth.
The Acer Aspire V5 touch enabled notebooks are
priced between Rs 34,550 to Rs 47,500. Here are
the individual model numbers and their prices.
