5 best Acer laptops
Stationary personal computers are extremely cumbersome and take time to transport. Plus, you can't put them in your bag. This problem is solved by modern laptops, especially from Acer.
For 2018, Acer has established itself as a reliable laptop manufacturer. Compared to other competing firms, the main advantages of Acer should be highlighted:
- High reliability;
- Possibility of long-term operation without serious technical intervention;
- Wide range of models;
- Reasonable performance-to-cost ratio.
The Acer lineup covers all market segments. These are both budget working models of the Extensa series and the fairly common Aspire line. Gaming laptops should be singled out separately. I immediately recall the Predator line, but this option will not attract an ordinary user, and besides, it is cheaper to assemble a full-fledged gaming computer. It is worth noting that for comfortable work and undemanding games, models up to 70,000 rubles are perfect. It is among them that we have chosen the top 5 best representatives to date.
Top 5 best Acer laptops
5 Acer ASPIRE 3 (A315-21)
The model with the A315-21 index is perhaps the most budgetary on the market. The body is completely made of black plastic, the lid is textured with vertical and horizontal lines, giving a cobweb effect. At the bottom of the laptop there are two removable sections for the hard drive, which, if desired, can be changed to a more capacious one and a couple of slots with RAM, one of which is free. The maximum computer supports up to 12 GB of RAM. There are 2 main types of screen for this model - 1366 × 768 and 1920 × 1080 pixels. The viewing angles are very modest, but horizontally they are pretty good for a budget phone. The sound is standard - High Definition Audio.
According to user reviews, the A315-21 is a decent budget model. The power of its hardware is enough for watching video or typing; the filling is not suitable for video games. It is recommended not to use "heavy" browsers like Google Chrome, but to use something simpler.
4 Acer TRAVELMATE P238-M
If you are not a fan of video games or serious editing, then the P238-M is made for you. A dual-core processor with 4 threads is enough for both working in documents and for comfortable watching videos. Excellent stereo sound comes from under the keyboard - so cleverly the manufacturer has built in the speakers. The laptop has an average screen resolution of 1366x768 pixels. Low weight (1.5 kg) in a compartment with small dimensions brings the laptop closer to the ultrabook class. Such a low price is due to the lack of an operating system from the factory. Currently, there are about 16 modifications of the model for various needs.
Buyers in the reviews note the ease of disassembly and they are completely right - in a few movements you can get to all the necessary components. 2 slots for RAM are soldered on the motherboard, only 4 GB is preinstalled from the factory, so the laptop can be pumped if desired. The cooling system cooler runs quietly at low to medium loads.
3 Acer SWIFT 3 (SF314-52)
This model from Acer has retained the best features of its predecessor, namely:
- Body shape tapering towards the front with rounded corners;
- The main material of execution is aluminum;
- Practical finish that will not show signs of exploitation;
- The fingerprint scanner;
- Responsive multitouch.
There is one more feature - 8 GB of DDR4 RAM with a frequency of 1333 MHz soldered on the motherboard. This technology allows you to significantly increase the data transfer rate, but excludes the possibility of an upgrade. The disk subsystem is represented by a 256 GB SSD from Intel. This model comes preinstalled with Windows 10 Home, supplemented with proprietary applications and utilities for work and play. Other versions can use OS Linux.According to user reviews, the resources of a budget laptop are enough to satisfy all the typical daily needs and to play undemanding online projects.
2 Acer Nitro 5 (AN515-31)
The Nitro 5 is the best budget gaming laptop under RUB 50,000. Despite the rough shape of the case, aggressiveness and elements with a red color, Acer looks very nice and restrained. There are no metal parts here, all the main body components are made of thick plastic. The thickness and weight of the laptop hint at stationary use, but if you have a strong physique, then you can safely take the laptop on the road. Large quick access doors allow easy access to internal components. Also, users in their reviews note quality fitted parts without backlash.
The quad-core eight-thread Intel Core I5 8250U processor with a base frequency of 1.6 GHz with dynamic overclocking to 3.4 GHz and 8 threads has an integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 graphics core. The MX150 mobile video card complements this beauty - an analogue of the desktop GT1030, but with higher GPU frequencies.
1 Acer ASPIRE 5 (A515-41G)
To date, the Acer model with the A515-41G index has become a vivid example of how you can combine good technical stuffing and low price. The main material of execution is polycarbonate, but there are also metal parts. In general, the device looks noble and does not feel any budget. The version is equipped with a 15.6 inch display, 15W AMD A-10 processor mobile variant of the FX series, only with a lower frequency formula and simple integrated AMD Radeon R5 Graphics. The role of a mobile video card is played by the RX540 with 2 GB of GGDR5 video memory on board.
The laptop has only 1 slot for RAM, with an already existing 8 GB DDR4 2400 die, operating at a stock frequency of 1866 MHz. Therefore, if you want to upgrade your laptop, you will immediately have to buy a 16 GB die. The disk subsystem is represented by a 1 TB drive with an average rotation speed of 5400 rpm.
