  • Our take on the Acer Aspire 3 15.6" 128 GB SSD

    The Aspire 3 is Acer's entry-level 15.6-inch laptop, built around an Intel Celeron N4500, 8 GB of RAM and a 128 GB SSD. The full HD screen and 8 GB of memory are its strengths at this tier; the N4500 is a low-power dual-core chip, so it handles browsing, email, documents and video but struggles with heavy multitasking or editing. Rivals in the budget class often offer a newer or faster processor and more storage, so it suits light everyday users rather than anyone needing speed.

    Questions and answers

    Is the Acer Aspire 3 good for everyday use?
    Yes for web browsing, email, documents and streaming. It is not suited to gaming, video editing or heavy multitasking.
    Can the RAM and storage be upgraded?
    The Aspire 3 line typically has a service panel for adding RAM and swapping the SSD, but check the exact model's slots before buying. The 128 GB drive is small, so an upgrade is worth considering.
    Does it have a full HD screen?
    Yes. The 15.6-inch panel runs at 1920x1080, which is sharper than the 1366x768 screens common on cheaper budget laptops.
    What ports does it have?
    It offers USB-C and USB-A connections. The USB-A port runs at USB 2.0 speed, so external drives transfer slowly through it.
    Is it good for students?
    For note-taking, research and online classes it is fine. Students running design or engineering software should look for a faster processor.
    How does it compare with other budget laptops?
    It stands out for its full HD screen and 8 GB of RAM, but its Celeron N4500 and 128 GB SSD are weaker than many rivals at the same tier.
    Where is the Acer Aspire 3 15.6" 128 GB SSD cheapest?
    At Best Buy, for $381.34, as of our latest check.
