Reviews for the Acer Extensa 15 EX215-55
Source: Laptop Media
The Extensa 15 (EX215-55) could be a good daily driver for budget-conscious users. Even the Core i3-1215U is just okay for work if it’s accompanied by at least 16GB of RAM in dual-channel mode and a decent SSD. Just be careful not to pick a machine with a TN screen. The 1080p TN display (B156HTN06.1 (AUO61ED)) disappoints. Its viewing angles are super narrow, the color coverage is low, the contact ratio is just 370:1, and the out-of-the-box color accuracy is absurd (average dE 9.3). At least you can fix the accuracy with the aid of our “Design and Office” profile. The EX215-33 iteration of Acer Extensa 15 may tempt value-seeking users with a pleasant price, high CPU clocks during long stress, good upgradability, and decent port selection.

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.
