Reviews for the Acer Aspire Go 17 AG17-31P
Source: Laptop Media
In conclusion, the Acer Aspire Go 17 (AG17-31P) carves out a unique niche in the market as a very affordable 17-inch laptop. In a landscape where larger laptops typically fall into the mid-range or higher categories, the Aspire Go 17 steps in to offer a truly budget-friendly option for users who prioritize screen real estate above all else. While it presents a surprisingly slim and understated design for its size, and manages a reasonable level of portability, it’s important to keep expectations aligned with its positioning. The all-plastic build, while doing a commendable job of resisting fingerprints, does exhibit some flex, and the keyboard, despite its comfortable layout and inclusion of a NumPad, has some design quirks like the half-sized arrow keys and lacks backlighting.
