Anyone who’s researched sub-$500 laptops in recent months
will know the Acer Aspire E 15. For a while now, the E5-575-33BM model
has maintained its status as a best-selling laptop on Amazon. In fact, it’s often been the top seller.
Looking
at specs, it’s easy to see why this cheaper version of the Aspire E 15
is so popular. For just $350, you get a Core i3 processor, a 15.6-inch
display with a resolution of 1920x1080, a 1TB storage drive, and Windows
10. Typically 15-inch laptops in the $300 range only offer 1366x768
screens.
Given just how much Acer’s crammed into this
incredibly affordable laptop, we were curious to see how it would
perform during use. So we decided to fire one up in our lab.
Specifications
Measuring
10.2 x 15.02 x 1.19 inches, the 5.06-pound Aspire E 15 won’t ever be
mistaken for an ultraportable. Most people will notice the heft of this
laptop in their bag—and when you add the power brick, the total weight
rises to 5.6 pounds.
That said, big and hefty is the
name of the sub-$500 laptop game, particularly when it involves an Intel
Core processor. If you want something thinner and lighter with an Intel
Core i3 CPU (or better), expect to double or even triple your budget.
