Das mit 11,6-Zoll etwas größere und auch schwerere Acer Aspire V5-122p gefällt durch sein ISP-Display und die flotte 3D-Leistung der Radeon-Grafik in seinem AMD-A6-Prozessor. Auch die Verarbeitung ist gut.

If you're on a tight budget then the Acer V5-122P may prove quite a good value for money laptop. Its computing speed is low, but the build quality and screen are definitely above average for a bottom-dollar laptop. Unfortunately, the battery life is a real weakness, and could prove to be a deal-breaker for many people.

The Acer Aspire V5 is a sturdy and smart-looking laptop, but its decent exterior masks several key deficiencies. The Ivy Bridge processor can't match Haswell chips for application performance, games ability or battery life, and the screen's colour accuracy is hampered by poor contrast and mediocre brightness. The Dell Latitude 3440 is a better all-rounder and a worthy winner here, and the Asus V550C is the superior 15.6in model thanks to slightly better performance.

If you really value portability and speed, but aren't looking to splash the cash on an Ultrabook for Windows 8, then this could be the perfect compromise.
