OUR VERDICT
With solid performance, good battery life and plenty of ports, the sub-$400 Acer Aspire E 15 is one of the best values on the market.
FOR
- Strong performance
- Lots of ports
- Good battery life
- Very affordable
AGAINST
- Bulky design
- Filled with bloatware
Every once in a while, a laptop comes along that defies its low price. Yet again, the Acer Aspire E 15 is one of those laptops. Punching well above its weight class, the 15-inch machine has a sharp 1080p display, good performance and a wide variety of ports.
The laptop’s keyboard is comfortable, its battery life is decent and it stays cool under a heavy workload. Despite a few notable shortcomings — a poor webcam, bulky design and unwelcome bloatware — the Aspire E 15 offers excellent bang for your buck, which is why it’s one of the best laptops under $500 and one of the best laptops for college students on a budget.
Acer Aspire E 15 price and configuration options
Acer offers the Aspire E 15 in a number of configurations at a variety of prices. The $307.99 base model that I reviewed is the least expensive. It comes equipped with an Intel Core i3-8130U CPU, 6GB of RAM and a 1TB HDD.
My colleague, Henry T. Casey, reviewed the $599 model, which comes with a more powerful Core i5 CPU, 8GB of RAM, a 256GB SSD and a Nvidia GeForce MX150 graphics card. Check out our face-off between that configuration of the Aspire E 15 and the Asus VivoBook S15, another recommended mid-range laptop. For $799, the high-end Aspire E 15 upgrades you to a Core i7 CPU.
Acer Aspire E 15 design
The Aspire E 15 is what we’ve come to expect from a 15-inch budget laptop. It’s big, heavy and not particularly easy on the eyes. The laptop’s smooth black deck is made of chunky plastic, but a brushed metal texture gives it a deceivingly premium appearance.
Acer Aspire E 15 keyboard and touchpad
The Acer Aspire E 15’s keyboard is comfortable to type on, but the keys should have more travel. At 1.1 millimeters, it falls short of our recommended 1.5mm minimum. The good news is that, even with a number pad, the full-size keys are well-spaced. The keys are also pleasantly springy, and an actuation force of 72 grams gives them a weighty feel (anything over 60 grams is ideal)
