Reviews for the Acer Aspire E5-573G-59C3
Source: Gaming Laptops Junky Archive.org version
Well. The E5-573G does deliver some punch for less than $500 (current price is $470). It’s the fastest for 3D/gaming under $500 and even $550 or as fast as others, if only new laptops are considered, but it costs less. It also comes with 1TB SSHD which is much better than the usual crappy 5400RPM 500-1000GB HDD. Add to that 8GB of RAM and a 802.11ac wifi card. This is currently unbeatable.

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.
