Pros:
1. Design and build quality
Despite its affordable price tag, the laptop doesn’t look cheap at all. It is very thin and portable, measuring 1.90 kg and 19.9 mm for weight and height, respectively, which is really good for a 15.6-inch notebook. The silvery finish on the outside looks fantastic with the rounded corners and edges, while the base is simple and has a keyboard with small keycaps, which does however come with a NumPad.
2. Upgradeability
For a budget laptop, that you probably won’t ever upgrade, it brings two SODIMM RAM slots, which can handle up to 32GB of DDR4 memory and a single M.2 PCIe x4 slot, along with a 2.5-inch SATA drive.
3. Battery life
Pairing a 37Wh unit with very efficient chips seems to be doing the trick, as the laptop lasted for 8 hours and 9 minutes of Web browsing, and 6 hours and 29 minutes of video playback. Now, we conduct the battery tests with Windows Better performance setting turned on, screen brightness adjusted to 120 nits, and all other programs turned off except for the one we are testing the notebook with.
Cons:
1. Display quality
The laptop has a single display option, which honestly is horrible, and we have seen Acer do better even in the very budget segment. The Full HD IPS panel struggles with its viewing angles, while the contrast ratio is low and brightness uniformity is great.
