Acer Aspire E 15 (E5-575G) Full Review – Feature-Packed Dirt-Cheap Mid-Ranger
Source: Gear Open Archive.org version
Acer’s Aspire E15 (E5-575G) is an amazing all-rounder with few drawbacks – taking into account the price point, of course – because it delivers unmatched performance, decent and refreshing design and features usually found on a mid-range laptop. We’ve got a GDDR5-powered GeForce 940MX GPU suitable for light gaming, Core i5-6200U ultra-low voltage, yet powerful CPU, two DDR4-2133 compatible RAM slots, M.2 SATA SSD slot, which we tried and works with a 2280 standard stick, USB-C 3.1 for ultra-fast data transfer and perfectly good keyboard and touchpad. And all of this for just $550 as a starting price. What’s not to like, right?

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.
