Acer Aspire Go 15 vs Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3x 15.3" Laptop

Buy the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3x for everyday work: its 15.3-inch 1920x1200 IPS screen gives more vertical room, the Snapdragon X X1 runs quiet and cool, and owners rate it 4.5 out of 5 from 401 ratings. The Acer Aspire Go 15 wins on ports and flexibility: full HDMI and Ethernet, a backlit keyboard, a touchscreen option, and RAM you can upgrade to 32GB. Build quality is close, both are plastic-bodied budget machines, but the Lenovo's aluminum lid feels a step nicer.

• Choose the Acer Aspire Go 15 if you need Ethernet, HDMI, a backlit keyboard or upgradeable RAM, or you run Windows apps that need x86 compatibility.
• Choose the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3x if you want a taller, sharper-looking screen, long battery life and a quiet fanless-feeling machine for browsing, documents and video calls.
