The Acer Aspire V5-573 is a versatile Ultrabook-style laptop developed by Acer, known for its balance of performance and portability.

It features a 15.6-inch Full HD IPS touchscreen, Intel 4th-gen processors, and optional NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M graphics, making it suitable for everyday tasks, light gaming, and multimedia use.

Released around 2013-2014, it was available in various configurations with 4-8GB of RAM and hybrid storage options. While acer has not officially disclosed the specific sales figures, the laptop was moderately popularity. The laptop was praised for its slim design, vibrant display, and solid battery life, which could last 6-7 hours of moderate use but faced criticism for limited upgrade options, poor build quality and occasional Wi-Fi issues. At launch, prices started around $799 CAD, with higher-end configurations reaching up to $ 999 CAD depending on the specs.

As part of the V5 series, the V5-573 succeeded earlier V5 models, offering improved battery life, a higher-resolution display, and better graphics options. It was eventually succeeded by newer Acer Aspire models, such as the Aspire V15 and Aspire E5 series, which introduced updated processors, better thermal management, and better build quality.

You can identify the Acer Aspire V5-573 by checking the model information found on a label on the bottom of the laptop or inside the battery compartment. The label will display the model name and a more specific model number (e.g., V5-573PG-XXXX), where the "PG" indicates the touchscreen variant.
