Acer's 15.6-inch laptop offers an AMD APU from the Stoney Ridge generation, a quick SSD, and an additional 2.5-inch hard drive. The battery life leaves something to be desired.

matte display; barely warms up; SSD+HDD; maintenance hatch; AC-WLAN; quick memory-card reader

dark; low-contrast display; average battery life at best

I would say absolutely get this laptop if you only want to spend less than $400 but if you can spend $650 get the Acer gaming laptop.

In fact I would say this is the best $400 laptop you can buy; I can play many FPS games with between 55 to 75 frames per second averages about high 50s to 60 ish

The only problem I have is that the screen has terrible viewing angles and the battery life is worse than a phone; Eventually you will find a good angle to position the screen and you don't notice it anymore.

I got this laptop a while ago, mostly for school work and for emails and internet and whatever. I really like it. I would recommend getting this laptop because it's easy to use and its light and easy to carry.

Pretty snappy machine, wish the keyboard was backlit and a little bit tougher, but the selling point (besides initial low cost) is that in addition to the hdd and memory you have, there are onboard extensions that you can access directly from the bottom of the laptop by removing just a single screw.

This a great laptop for great sale price. It is much efficient and capable than my older one. It does seem to be slow doing some functions. That may be due to the OS()

On paper at least, the 8th-generation Acer Aspire 3 laptop seems to offer quite a bit for its rather slender asking price. You get a well-sized 15.6-inch Windows 10 machine, packing a Full HD display and Intel Core i3 chipset. Not bad specs for a budget notebook.

Attractive and solid design; Decent connectivity; Comfortable; comprehensive typing experience

Limited performance; Very basic display

I have only been used to laptops that have separate left and right buttons below the actual mouse pad - but this has an all-in-one mouse pad and the cursor jumps all over the place when trying to use left or right click, thereby jumping off whichever button/link/arrow I am trying to click on.

It arrived 8.30 pm man was rude on phone when tryed it took all day to answer took a couple of days to set up and put apps on when I finish setting up it was very slow would not log out of programmes reset to factory settings took about 8 hours would not wipe everything off reset again after 8 hours...

I have now had my new laptop 2 weeks. I ordered an Acer because my last one lasted me 7 years before it decided to give up, so I know it was a good product. My advice is to do the downloads that is requested because if you don't the laptop will run slow or freeze.

"Good price and service from AO. The laptop is to replace an old Acer. The keyboard is good except for the mouse pad that does not have the two separate keys at the bottom, which means a slip changes what you are copying. It doesn't seem to be very fast when having a number of windows open. "
