We purchased the Acer Aspire E 15 so that our expert reviewer could thoroughly test and review it. Read on for our full product review.
Budget laptops in the sub-$500 category all have to cut corners somewhere to reach that price point. This usually manifests itself in things like poor battery life, low-quality displays, and other compromises.

We put an Acer Aspire E 15 through its paces in the office and out in the world to see how it fares outside of the basic benchmarks. Read on to see how it did.
Aesthetics may be the Acer Aspire E 15’s weakest point — it’s a big, chunky laptop, measuring over an inch thick at the back and tapering to just under an inch at the front. It also weighs over five pounds, which is definitely on the heavy side for a 15.6-inch laptop.
