The Acer Aspire 15 (A15-41M) is not only suitable for standard home and office tasks but you can also use it for something more serious like 3D rendering. The modest cooling is doing a fine job even when it has to deal with an 8-core beast like the Zen 4 Ryzen 7 8840HS. The latter can maintain around 3.40 GHz in long stress which is a great result for a not-so-expensive laptop. In this scenario, the fan isn’t too noisy and the keyboard feels just warm which is enough for good comfort even when the CPU is pounded with heavy loads. For optimal processor performance, the memory should operate in dual-channel mode. That’s possible since you get a SODIMM. Sadly, for storage upgrades, there is just one slot for Gen 4 NVMe drives. The Wi-Fi card is also replaceable. Overall, the notebook feels fast during any kind of load.

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.
