The Enduro Urban N3 is great for outdoor users who want the portability and performance of a Dell XPS 13 or Intel EVO laptop but are otherwise too worried about scratching up that expensive screen or case during use.

Acer’s Enduro Urban N3, with its explicit appeal to consumers rather than business users, may have opened a new category for laptop PCs. You might call it “durability for the rest of us,” to mimic an early Apple Computer ad. After all, practically everyone who’s in the hunt for a laptop wants one that’s durable. The rugged notebook category is something of a world unto itself, with expensive, heavy units that often have limited screen resolution. In return for those sacrifices, users in challenging environments get laptops that won’t quit. The Enduro Urban N3 offers something different: a thin, sleek notebook weighing slightly over four pounds and offering a bright screen and acceptable performance, running the Home version of Windows 10 or 11, instead of the Pro one. Yet, its MIL-STD-810H and IP53 certifications match those of several of its more expensive rivals. For the general user who wants a reasonably priced unit that will shrug off being dropped from up to four feet, left in a light rain, or subjected to the occasional coffee spill, this is a laptop worth considering.

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.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.
Intel Iris Xe G7 96EUs: Integrated graphics card in Intel Tiger Lake G4 SoCs based on the new Gen. 12 architecture with 96 EUs (Execution Units / Shader Cluster). The clock rate depends on the processor model. The Tiger Lake chips are produced in the modern 10nm+ process at Intel.
NVIDIA GeForce MX330: Successor of the MX230 and most likely a renamed GeForce MX250/MX150 based on the Pascal GP108 chip with 384 shaders and a 64 Bit memory bus for GDDR5.

14.00:
14 inch display size represents a middle ground between the small subnotebook formats and the screens of the standard 15 inch laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, provides good resolutions with usable detail sizes, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact.
In the past, 14-inch devices were very rare, but now they are the standard for laptops after the 15-inchers.
