Acer refreshed its Aspire 7 budget gaming laptops in India a couple of days back. Now, the company has also updated the Aspire 5 series laptops as well with the latest 12th generation Intel Core i5 chipset and NVIDIA’s RTX series graphics cards. The laptop starts at Rs 62,990 and will be retailing on the company’s online store and on Amazon.
