Reviews for the Acer Aspire E5-573-3732
Source: Good Gear Guide Archive.org version
The Aspire E5 is fair value for money, but that's pretty much all it is. If you just need a basic workhorse type of machine and can live with the offset trackpad in favour of the number pad there's some value here, but the competitive landscape at this kind of price point is particularly brutal, so it would pay to shop around.

Model: The Acer Aspire E5-573-3732 is a mid-range laptop, which is neither a budget device nor a high performance type. It provides a faux-metal finish with a lightly brushed pattern that conceals its plastic build. Its dual-core Intel i3-5005U processor clocked at 2.0 GHz is mainly suitable for office and light multimedia purposes. It also provides a decent movie-watching experience with its 15.6 inch HD display, but there is nothing to shout about regarding its audio quality.
Users that are always out and about may find its bulky design not convenient for portability with a weight of 2.7 kg and a size of 32 x 382 x 256 mm. It full size number pad might similar to normal desktop keyboard's might appeal to certain users, but it did offset the trackpad to the left and compromise on the size of the keys. An advantage is the battery life of up to 4.5 hours. All in all a basic laptop, the Acer Aspire E5-573-3732 comes with 4 GB of RAM, an internal 1 GB hard drive from Western Digital, VGA, HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet, two USB 3.0 ports and one USB 2.0 port.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
