Looking at this Acer laptop, the Aspire 3 features some decent internals, with it being powered by an Intel Core i5-1235U processor. That’s going to be a solid choice for single and multi-threaded workloads, and will be snappy for the productivity workloads you’re likely to undertake, especially with its 10 cores and 12 threads.
Elsewhere, its 512GB SSD is solid for the price, giving you a good amount of storage for apps, media and more, while its 16GB of RAM is enough for multi-tasking and for having a lot of Chrome tabs open without the Aspire 3 breaking a sweat.
The 15.6-inch display gives you lots of real estate to work with, while its Full HD resolution offers decent detail. The port selection is particularly excellent for the price, too with everything from a handful of USB-A ports to an HDMI out and an Ethernet jack provided.
The Aspire 3’s silver chassis looks good too, while there’s also a full-size keyboard and decent-sized trackpad to boot, too. A weight of 1.78kg gives this laptop a bit of heft, but it will still be portable enough for taking on your travels.
