![]() ![]() A silver Acer logo is embedded on the side of the otherwise entirely black lid. A big plus compared to its competitors with lids made of plastic, and which are therefore much more flexible. ![]() The lid is made entirely of aluminum, which makes it very rigid. Like its smaller 15-inch sibling, the Aspire F15 F5-573G, the casing of the F17 F5-771G is made of plastic and aluminum, which is quite rare in this price bracket. Thus, it will be interesting to see whether the F17 will hold its own and whether at only 699 Euros (~$800) it is a real bargain. The Asus and Medion laptops are powered by a Skylake processor while the Medion and the Lenovo are equipped with an SSD. Despite its seemingly identical hardware, the E5 is around 100 Euros ($112) cheaper. We have decided to pitch it against to its two smaller siblings - the Acer Aspire E5-575G and the Acer Aspire F15 F5-573G-53V1 – as well as one model each made by Asus (F756UX-T7013T), Medion (Erazer P7644), and Lenovo (ThinkPad E570-20H6S00000). Our tests were obviously conducted under Windows 10, which we had to install ourselves. For a further 100 Euros ($112) you can get a model with Windows 10 operating system, while 150 Euros ($170) more will get you a 256 GB SSD as well as Windows 10. An operating system is also missing – the 17.3-inch device comes with FreeDOS preinstalled. Unfortunately, the all-round model we have tested lacks fast SSD storage, but it sells for around 699 Euros ($800) in Europe. The processor has 8 GB of RAM and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 950M with 4 GB of video RAM at its disposal. While this particular model is equipped with a Kaby Lake Core i5-7200U processor, other models are still powered by its Skylake predecessor. Our review model is the Acer F17 F5-771G-50RD. For the original German review, see here.Ĭurrently, there are several F17 F5-771G models on sale, alone has ten different models listed on their website. ![]()
