In the modern world, an important condition when choosing various devices is size. This item applies to laptops. The smaller the device, the more comfortable it is to use. A bright representative of the miniature devices can be considered Acer ZG5.
The main goal of the manufacturer when developing an ultrabook was to achieve the smallest possible size. This model received an interesting design and high-quality housing. However, due to the minimum size, the Acer ZG5 could not get a powerful filling. It is worth noting that there are two configurations of the model: with a 120 GB hard drive and with an SSD, which has a different capacity.
Housing
The case of the Acer ZG5 was made of various kinds of plastic. The quality of the material is quite high, since the manufacturer did not save on the device. The cover is made of glossy material, and, accordingly, gets dirty quite a lot. The rest of the body of the device is made of less easily soiled plastic. It is pleasing to the eye and to the touch. Be that as it may, the quality of the material and the assembly are on top. Among its closest competitors, the Acer ZG5 looks like a clear favorite in terms of these indicators.
Keyboard and touchpad
The keys, unlike the cover, are made of material that is less prone to contamination. The buttons are small, comfortable to print. The result was a manufacturer-designed design. The keys have a pleasant stroke and emit a distinctive sound when pressed. The presence on the keyboard of all the usual keys is also pleasing. Few similar devices boast similar. Despite the small size, you can get used to the keyboard in a fairly short time.
Display
The Acer ZG5 screen has an extremely small size, which is only 8.9 ". However, the resolution here is 1024X600, which is most often found in devices with 10" displays. Acer ZG5, the characteristics of which are presented in this article, due to such a small display is a pretty good assistant on long business trips. However, such a high resolution makes some small elements on the screen difficult to distinguish, which is why you have to strain your eyes, and they, in turn, quickly get tired.
Acer ZG5, the technical characteristics of the screen of which do not differ anything special from similar devices, received a mirror substrate and LED backlight. As a result, the screen has excellent brightness, contrast, color reproduction, good viewing angles and one significant drawback. Due to the technology by which the display is made, it is practically impossible to work in strong sunlight, as it greatly glare. But its compactness involves use in various conditions.
Performance
Acer One ZG5, the technical characteristics of which, as mentioned above, are small, did not receive a sufficiently powerful hardware. The device has an Intel Atom N270 processor, which is aimed at conserving energy. The clock frequency is 1.6 GHz. Netbook also can not boast of RAM. Here it is only 512 MB, which is very small for solving modern problems. Moreover, it is installed with one fixed bracket, however, there is one empty slot (the maximum volume for the new bracket is 1 GB). The result is 1.5 GB, which is already not bad for this device. Moreover, the netbook is designed for surfing the Internet and typing.
Ports
Despite its small size, the Acer ZG5 was able to acquire a number of ports. On the netbook, the user will find three USB ports, a card reader, as well as an SD card slot. The presence of this slot is due to the fact that the device has a small amount of memory (especially when using SDD), and, therefore, every megabyte of memory is extremely important. Therefore, if there is an extra SD card, it makes sense to install it in this device. You can use the LAN input or Wi-Fi wireless network to access the Internet. Also, the netbook was not deprived of a webcam, which has not the best quality, but is suitable for video calls.
Total
Acer ZG5 is able to offer the user compactness and good autonomy, but the netbook did not get a productive hardware. You can’t run demanding programs and games on this device, but on the go it can help you edit a document or view mail. The disadvantages include the screen flashing in the sun, since this model can often be used in sunlight. The rest of the netbook is quite good and is one of the best in its price category.
