The Acer Aspire A315 is a decent budget laptop for families and students. Acer Aspire 3 A315-51.

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

Limited performance ; Very basic display

Overlook the basic display and the Aspire A315-51 is a decent everyday laptop, available for a low asking price.

With the Aspire 3 A315-42 from Acer, you get a whole lot of laptop for your money, with a big, 15-inch screen and plenty of storage to go around. Could it be the ideal replacement for the old laptop sitting on y...

Acer Aspire 3 A315-51 laptop review

  (Rating Hidden)

The Aspire 3 from Acer packs a whole lot of computer into a budget price. A dual-core Intel Core i3 processor, 15.6-inch Full HD screen and 128GB of SSD storage is quite the spec sheet, but are there hidden compromises that materialise once you start...

The Acer Aspire 3 laptop is a mid-range model that packs in a whopping 2TB hard drive, and features an Intel i5 processor. Admittedly it's a not the latest generation of processor, but we would still expect it to comfortably handle daily computing....

Acer Aspire 3 (A315-41-R98U)

 

This AMD Ryzen-based version of Acer's Aspire 3 budget laptop offers healthy pep for the money, but the touchpad, the battery, and the 15.6-inch display let down the team.

Ryzen CPU/Vega graphics deliver impressive pep for price. Comfortable keyboard. Easy RAM and storage upgrades. Empty 2.5-inch drive bay.

Short battery life. Dull, low-res screen. Flimsy touchpad. No USB Type-C ports.

Bottom Line: This AMD Ryzen-based version of Acer's Aspire 3 budget laptop offers healthy pep for the money, but the touchpad, the battery, and the 15.6-inch display let down the team.

Acer Aspire 3 review: A budget laptop or is it just cheap?

 

Good budget build quality ; Plenty of RAM and storage ; Decent display for the price

CPU performance doesn’t impress ; Integrated GPU is way behind the pack ; Keyboard could be better, lacks backlight ; Ships with Windows 11 Home S enabled

The Acer Aspire 3 cuts performance to the bone as it limbos below a $500 MSRP.

Acer Aspire 3 A315-41 (Ryzen 3 2200U, Vega 3, SSD, FHD) Laptop Review

 

Simple office notebook. Acer's 15.6-inch laptop scores some major points with its hardware combination of a powerful Ryzen 3 2200U APU, a fast SSD and 8 GB of dual-channel RAM. However, the screen and thermal performance disappoint.

matte screen ; SSD ; doesn't overheat ; fast SD card reader

TN panel with poor contrast and viewing angles ; average battery life at best ; only one USB 3.1 Gen 1 port

The Aspire 3 A315-41 is a 15.6-inch office notebook that is powered by a Ryzen 3 2200U APU. The APU offers more than enough computing power for such usage scenarios as office work and Internet browsing. The notebook does not become hot even under full...

Acer Aspire 3 A315-51 (i3-8130U, SSD, FHD) Laptop Review

 

Core i3 – now with Turbo. The Aspire 3 A315-51 scores well for its powerful processor, fast SSD, and reasonable price. There is no Windows OS installed though, and the display and battery life are unimpressive.

matte display ; Full HD display ; SSD ; maintenance cover ; AC Wi-Fi ; fast memory card reader

dark and low contrast display ; poor viewing angles ; average battery life ; no USB Type-C port

Acer has delivered a simple 15.6-inch office notebook with the Aspire 3 A315-51. The built-in Core i3 processor offers more than enough performance for typical office and Internet applications. Thanks to Turbo Boost, the first Core i3 processor to...

Acer Aspire 3 (i3-6006U, HD520) Laptop Review

 

Third round. The current model has an Intel Core i3-6006U processor and differs only marginally in terms of the price, when compared to the previously reviewed sibling models. We examine in this review whether this particular laptop is worth buying.

good maintenance options ; good price-to-performance ratio ; quiet operation ; SSD and HDD

outdated ports ; low-res panel

In our review, the Aspire 3 with Intel’s Core i3-6006U proves to be more powerful than the AMD-based alternative and, in terms of battery life, it lasts longer than the Core i5-7200U-based variant. The system performance and the hardware components are...
