70% Acer Aspire E15 review

You'll have to weigh out your priorities when considering whether or not to pick up the Acer Aspire E15. On one hand, it features impressive hardware and performance for a reasonable price. On the other hand, nagging problems, like the viewing angle, are bound to become more annoying over time. Consider this budget notebook only if you don't intend to move it very much.

Comment

Model: This Acer Aspire 17 Serie Model is essentially a similar to the Aspire 15 series with a bigger display. With matte 17.3 inch Full HD LCD display and a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, this laptop provides good colors without the uninvited reflections on non-matte displays. Its wide-viewing angles also contribute to enjoyable visual experiences for users. It comes with a switchable graphics solution, whereas the frugal Intel HD Graphics 5500 adapter is suitable for standard operations like web browsing and writing documents and its NVIDIA GeForce 940M provides better gaming graphic performance. The latter is able to run most of the newer games at least on medium settings. However, this notebook is slightly bulkier than the Aspire 15 series at 2.8 kg as well as a dimension of 11.01" (28.19 cm) in length and 1.25" (3.18 cm) in thickness.

Other than that, its casing and feel are alike its sibling with a plastic build and textile pattern finishing. This may not appeal to certain users due to its cheap-looking exterior, but it does provide additional grip, which is good for carrying around. Similarly, its keyboard comes with a numeric keypad and lacks a backlight for usage in dim environments. Powered with a decent Intel Broadwell i5-5200U dual core processor and 8 GB of RAM, users will find multitasking on non-demanding applications to be a breeze. Storage-wise, it comes with 1 TB hard drive with 8 GB SSD cache from Seagate. Its connectivity includes two USB 3.0 ports and two USB 2.0 ports.

NVIDIA GeForce 940M: Mid-range graphics card of the GeForce 900M series, based on the Maxwell architecture.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

5200U: Broadwell-based ULV (ultra low voltage) dual-core processor for notebooks and ultrabooks. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 5500 GPU and is manufactured in 14 nm.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


17.30": This display size is a standard format for desktop replacements (DTR). The DTR laptops are heavier to carry, need more power, but texts are easy to read and high resolutions are no problem. DTR are mainly intended for stationary desk use, where weight and energy hunger don't matter. In return, you enjoy the advantages of high resolutions (more details, better legibility).» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.


2.8 kg:

With this weight, a laptop is rather heavier than average. Devices in this range shine more with screen size and performance than with mobility.


Acer: In 1976, the company was founded in Taiwan under the name Multitech and was renamed Acer or Acer Group in 1987. The product range includes, for example, laptops, tablets, smartphones, desktops, monitors, TVs and computer peripherals. Since 2007, the group has merged with Gateway Inc. and Packard Bell, which also market their own laptop product lines.

Acer computers are designed for a variety of purposes, including ultrabooks for mobile use, gaming laptops for gamers, affordable options for everyday tasks, and 2-in-1 convertible laptops for versatility. Acer's product portfolio also includes tablets that offer portable computing and multimedia capabilities.


70%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
