We think that £430 is a large enough budget for firms to build a basic laptop that ticks most of the important boxes, and the Acer Aspire ticks most of the boxes – but only just. This is a reasonable notebook that will suffice for the new school term, but it’s worth considering the alternative – machines like Lenovo’s IdeaPad Yoga 2 11 are smaller, but they’re also lighter, more versatile and more affordable.
