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 our best overall sub- laptops 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. 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 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.

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.

Similarly, subtle cross-etching on the dark-gray lid and chrome trim around the touchpad spice up an otherwise plain design. Also on the lid is an offset chrome Acer logo.

At 15 x 10.2 x 1.2 inches, the Aspire E 15 is larger than the Acer Spin 3 (13.2 x 9.1 x 0.8 inches) and the Asus VivoBook Flip 14 (12.9 x 8.9 x 0.6 inches). As expected, the Aspire E 15 is also heavier than those 14-inch laptops, weighing in at 5 pounds compared with the 3.8-pound Spin 3 and the 3.2-pound VivoBook Flip 14. Unlike these 2-in-1s, the E 15 has a standard clamshell design with a non-touch-screen display.

Ports

The Acer Aspire E 15 has an excellent assortment of ports, and not just for a budget laptop.

The right side of the laptop is a blast from the past, featuring a USB 2.0 port and an 8X DVD-RW double-layer drive. There is also a headphone jack and a power connector.

On the left side, you have a USB-3.1 Type-C port, an Ethernet port, a VGA input, an HDMI port, two USB 3.0 ports and a Kensington lock. An SD card reader is conveniently positioned on the laptop's front-left edge.

Display

The Acer Aspire E 15's 15-inch non-touch display is sharp, but not very colorful. In the trailer for Unbroken: Path to Redemption, the characters' 1940s attire should have bursted with color; instead, it looked drab. Also, the actor's skin tones were pale and lifeless. On a positive note, the 1920 x 1080 panel provided enough detail for me to make out the military medals and ribbons on Louis Zamperini's spiffy uniform.

In the trailer for the upcoming historical drama Operation Finale, I could see fine streaks of white hair on Oscar Isaac's head, and some wrinkles around his eyes. But again, the panel didn't pop, which is a shame considering that its predecessor's display blew us away with a remarkably vivid picture.

The Acer Aspire E 15's display is sharp, but not very colorful.

The display on the Aspire E 15 is capable of reproducing only 62.3 percent of the sRGB color gamut, which is less than half of what its predecessor achieved. It is also less than the Acer Spin 3 (70 percent), the Asus VivoBook Flip 14 (69 percent) and the budget laptop average (88 percent).

The Acer Aspire E 15's display reached a maximum brightness of 227 nits, which is par for the course for a budget laptop. The Acer Spin 3 (226 nits) and Asus VivoBook Flip 14 (221 nits) had almost identical luminance, while the budget laptop average (243 nits) is slightly brighter than all three devices.

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).

In the 10fastfingers.com typing test, I reached 111 words per minute with an accuracy of 95 percent. That is slightly below my average speed of 119 wpm, but matches my 5 percent error rate.

The 4.1 x 3-inch touchpad on the Aspire E 15 is large and responsive. It quickly reacted to a series of Windows 10 gestures, including pinch-to-zoom, a three-finger swipe upward to see all open tabs, and a four-finger tap to open the Action Center.

Audio

The Aspire E 15's speakers are loud enough to fill a large room, but the overall sound quality is poor. When I listened to Band of Horses' "The Funeral," the vocals sounded hollow and distant. At high volumes, the speakers distorted, and even at around 60 percent, the guitar treble pierced my sensitive ears.

I played "A Change Is Gonna Come," hoping to hear Sam Cooke's silky-smooth delivery. Instead, the instruments overtook the song, pushing vocals to the background. The midrange wasn't much better when I listened to Travis Scott's "Sicko Mode," but at least the audio was well-balanced and clear.

Performance

Equipped with an 8th Gen Intel Core i3-8130U CPU, 6GB of RAM and a 1TB 5,200-RPM hard drive, the $349 Acer Aspire E 15 offers an excellent price-to-performance ratio. The laptop had enough oomph to load 10 Firefox tabs with ease, even when I played a YouTube video at 1080p. I started noticing minor lag only after I doubled the number of tabs, played two more full- HD YouTube videos and watched a Twitch stream.

The Aspire E 15 scored a solid 7,871 in the Geekbench 4.1 overall performance benchmark. The Core i3-equipped Acer Spin 3 (8,543) achieved an even better result, while the Asus VivoBook Flip 14 (5,696) and the budget laptop average (5,021) were far behind.

The Aspire E 15's poor performance in our hard-drive test was expected, considering it has a slow-spinning mechanical HDD. The 1TB hard drive duplicated 4.97GB of mixed-media files in 2 minutes and 32 seconds for a rate of 33.5 megabytes per second. That is faster than the Acer Spin 3 (28.6 MBps) and the Asus VivoBook Flip 14 (29.4 MBps), but much slower than the budget laptop average (50.93 MBps).

On our Excel spreadsheet test, the Aspire E 15 matched 65,000 names with their corresponding addresses in 2 minutes and 12 seconds. Again, the Aspire came out on top, accomplishing the task faster than the Acer Spin 3 (2:31), the Asus VivoBook Flip 14 (3:35) and the budget average (6:00).

We pushed the Aspire E 15 to its limits by making it convert a 4K video to 1080p using the HandBrake app. It did a solid job, completing the task in 31 minutes and 40 seconds. The Acer Spin 3 (34:59) took slightly longer, while the Asus VivoBook Flip 14 (52:34) and the budget laptop average (53:33) took nearly twice as long.

The Acer Aspire E 15 doesn't have the chops to play the latest games, but its graphics performance is good for a budget machine. The Intel UHD Graphics 620 GPU in the Aspire E 15 scored a 63,817 on the Ice Storm Unlimited graphics test. The Acer Spin 3, with the same GPU, scored higher (70,217), while the Asus VivoBook Flip 14's UHD Graphics 615 GPU couldn't keep pace (51,586). The average score for budget laptops is 21,138.

The Aspire E 15 dominated the competition in our real-world gaming benchmark. It played the racing game Dirt 3 at 56 frames per second, drifting past the Acer Spin 3 (38 fps), the Asus VivoBook Flip 14 (31 fps) and the budget laptop average (27 fps).

Battery Life

While it won't set any records, the Acer Aspire E 15's battery life is strong for a budget laptop. It lasted 8 hours and 48 minutes in our Laptop Mag Battery Test, which involves continuous web surfing over Wi-Fi at 150 nits of brightness. That's almost 3 hours longer than the Acer Spin 3, which powered down after 6 hours. Both the Asus VivoBook Flip 14 (7:23) and the budget laptop category average (7:19) were more than an hour shorter.

Webcam

The Aspire E 15's webcam doesn't raise the low bar set by other budget laptops. At first, I blamed the lifeless images it captured on the laptop's dull display. To test my theory, I snapped a selfie and viewed it from a more colorful monitor. To my surprise, my face still looked snow- white, like I'd just seen a ghost, and my dark-blue shirt was a deep black.

Other programs feel unnecessary, like Acer Documents, which shows you the folder your laptop's user manual is located in. The Acer Quick Access app includes only on/off controls for USB charging and a BlueLight Shield setting that is meant to reduce eyestrain.

There is also the list of apps from third-party companies we've come to expect on Windows 10 laptops, especially budget machines. On the Aspire, those include Booking.com, Amazon, Evernote, eBay and Netflix.

Rounding out this unwanted trove of bloatware is a variety of games aimed at children, including Bubble Witch 3 Saga, Candy Crush Saga, Candy Crush Soda Saga, Cooking Fever, Dragon Mania Legends, Minecraft and Hidden City.

The Acer Aspire E 15 comes with a one-year limited warranty. See how Acer fared in our Tech Support Showdown and Best and Worst Brands ranking.

Bottom Line

The Aspire E 15 E5-576-392H gives you solid performance, long battery life and a good range of ports for less than $400. It does have a few notable shortcomings, including a dull display and a bulky, bland design. But these don't detract too much from the overall package.

If you can extend your budget a bit, and don't mind a smaller screen, the Microsoft Surface Go is an intriguing sub-$500 alternative (when you include the keyboard). The detachable 2-in-1 has a colorful, high-resolution 10-inch display, and its durable chassis is extremely lightweight, at just 1.1 pounds. The $270 Lenovo IdeaPad 120S is also a good option for anyone on a budget. The 14-inch laptop has a clean design, good performance and charges via USB-C.

But if you want the best 15-inch laptop for less then look no further than the Aspire E 5.

Newest Acer Aspire E 15 Full HD Laptop

The average person doesn’t spend on a laptop. Unfortunately, those looking for something cheaper are often left to scour Amazon product pages and reviews, all in hopes of finding an inexpensive laptop that doesn’t completely suck.

But don’t despair, there’s good news: Not all of them do. The Acer Aspire E 15 is just such a notebook, aggressively priced at our review configuration. It packs in a 15.6-inch Full HD (1,920 x 1,080 or X PPI) display, an eighth-generation Intel Core i5-8250U CPU, a discrete Nvidia GeForce MX150 GPU, 8GB of RAM, a DVD-RW drive, and a 256GB SATA solid-state drive (SSD). You can even drop down to 4GB of RAM, lose the discrete GPU, substitute a 1TB hard disk-drive (HDD).
The question is, was Acer forced to leave anything out to fit the Aspire E 15 into such an attractive price point?
A chunky but serviceable design

We’ll begin by saying this is large notebook in all its dimensions. It’s thick at 1.19 inches, and heavy at 5.27 pounds, and it suffers from some very wide, old-school display bezels. It’s also a mostly plastic construction that’s a bit bendy in the lid, has some flex in the aluminum keyboard deck, and generally isn’t as solid as you’ll find in more expensive all-metal designs. We’ll note as well that the hinge is very stiff — you’ll need two hands to open the lid, but the display does tend to stay firmly in place.

The Aspire E 15 might not be the highest-end build, but it’s nevertheless robust enough to carry around the house or on the occasional field trip, and it’s at least as well-built as its budget competitors like Acer’s own Aspire 5.

The lid has a “metallic textile pattern” that adds a little flair, and the touchpad is outlined in a chrome-colored accent. Otherwise, you’re getting a simple design that’s not as modern as Acer’s Swift 3 budget notebook. This is typical for budget laptops, however. None of the Aspire’s competitors will wow you with looks.

Acer has made good use of the thick chassis to help manage heat and noise. The fans do spin up when the CPU and GPU are under load, but they’re never so loud as to be obnoxious. And there’s enough room to move air around and keep the discrete GPU running at full speed, as we’ll see later in our benchmark results.

Another plus to the large chassis is upgradability, something more expensive laptops often lack. You can pop open the bottom cover to upgrade the RAM to its 16GB maximum and manage the storage slots — on our review unit, that means you could add a 2.5-inch drive to go along with the M.2 format SATA SSD that’s already installed. Also unusual is the 8X DVD-RW drive that’s built-in, which is nice to have even if it’s not quite as in-demand as it once was.

The Aspire E 15 packs in plenty of connectivity. You’ll get a USB-C 3.1 Gen1 port (no Thunderbolt 3 support, though), two USB-A 3.0 ports, a USB-A 2.0 port, a full-size HDMI port, a VGA port, an Ethernet connection, and a 3.5mm combo audio jack. The usual 2×2 MU-MIMO W-Fi and Bluetooth radios are on hand to round out the connectivity. You shouldn’t have to worry about scrounging around for dongles.
Surprisingly decent — if limited — input options

The Acer Aspire E 15 has the usual island keyboard and squeezes in a 10-key numeric keypad. What’s unusual for a machine that’s so reasonably priced is the keyboard’s feel. It offers plenty of travel with a comfortable bottoming action. The layout is standard, and it doesn’t feel cramped even while offering a keypad’s convenience. The keyboard backlight’s single brightness level is even and attractive.

The touchpad is large, offers a smooth surface with just the right amount of friction, and supports Microsoft’s Precision Touchpad protocol for full Windows 10 gesture support. The left and right buttons are hidden at the bottom of the touchpad, but are responsive without feeling cheap. Again, this is a touchpad that punches above its weight class — in fact, it’s larger and more responsive than the one you’ll find on slightly more expensive notebooks like the Asus ZenBook UX330UA.

That’s it for input. There’s no touch display or Window 10 Hello biometric support, which isn’t surprising given the price point, but does detract a bit from overall convenience.
A good display for a budget machine mated with just average audio

Check out budget notebooks and you’ll find quite a few with a 1,366 x 768 resolution displays. That makes the Aspire E 15’s 15.6-inch Full HD display refreshing.

Once we put the display at the mercy of our colorimeter, we were pleasantly surprised overall. Color gamut support was relatively narrow, coming closest to the Aspire 5 and Swift 3, but short of slightly more expensive options. Brightness was very low at 173 nits. However, contrast was class-leading at 960:1, color accuracy was decent, and gamma was perfect at 2.2, meaning videos won’t be too light or too dark.

The display was pleasant to use for typical productivity tasks, as well as watching Netflix and YouTube.

Subjectively, the display was pleasant to use for typical productivity tasks as well as watching Netflix movies and TV. Colors didn’t exactly pop, but high contrast made for nice black text on a white background. Really, at this price point, we’d expect to see a far worse display.

Sound is another matter entirely. While the dual stereo speakers are plenty loud, they distort at high volumes and are serviceable at best. You can use it to watch the occasional YouTube video, but to really enjoy music, movies, and TV shows, you’ll want to plug in your favorite headphones.
Excellent productivity performance held back slightly by slower storage

There was a time when budget notebooks were limited to low-end Intel Pentium processors and limited RAM, and thus suffered from poor performance across the board. That’s no longer the case, however, and the Aspire E 15 is a case in point. It offers eighth-generation quad-core Intel Core i5 and i7 processors and up to 16GB of RAM. Our review unit used the Core i5-8250U and enjoyed a solid 8GB of memory.

This is an impressive combination for such a low-end machine, and it resulted in performance that rivaled much more expensive notebooks. In both synthetic and real-life benchmark tests, the Aspire E 15 provided excellent processor performance and had more than sufficient power to churn through just about any productivity task. It kept up not only with its budget siblings but also challenged more expensive options like the Dell Inspiron 15 7000 Gaming, which had a Core i5-7300HQ.

Storage performance is one area where Acer cut some corners with its choice of a Hynix 256GB SATA SSD. The drive isn’t fast, and the Aspire E 15 fell far behind the PCIe SSDs in some other systems including the Swift 3. We’ll note that although the drive is slow for an SSD, it’s still much faster than the spinning hard-disk drives you find in many other notebooks at this price. And in real-world use, it’s still plenty fast enough for typical productivity and gaming tasks.
Not a lot to spend for a decent entry-level gaming experience

Surprisingly, this notebook has an Nvidia GeForce MX150 GPU. It isn’t the fastest graphics chip you’ll come across, but it’s much quicker than the usual Intel integrated graphics. It can even handle some newer games, as long as you lower the resolution and details.

As we mentioned earlier, Acer made good use of the Aspire E 15’s large chassis to make sure the components can be kept cool. This paid off in our gaming benchmarks, where the notebook competed well with other machines equipped with the MX150, like the Aspire 5 and the Asus ZenBook 13.

This was most apparent in our real-world gaming tests, where the Aspire E 15 managed a decent 35 frames per second (FPS) in Civilization VI at Full HD and medium settings. That’s a few FPS faster than the other MX150-equipped notebooks, and fully playable. The Aspire E 15 was even more impressive in Rocket League, where it managed 79 FPS in Full HD and performance mode, blowing away the similarly-equipped competition. It even managed 51 FPS in high quality mode, still a few frames faster than our comparison machines. We even saw 33 FPS, in Full HD and medium settings, while playing Battlefield 1.

It’d be a mistake to call this Aspire a gaming machine, but it works well enough in many games. That’s high praise for a laptop that’s . In fact, this simple laptop is quicker in games than many ‘premium’ laptops sold for twice the price.
It’s a lot to lug around, but leave the power brick behind

The Aspire E 15 isn’t a portable notebook by today’s standards. It’s large, thick, and heavy at over five pounds. You won’t want to carry it around any longer than you must. But the notebook packs in a large 62 watt-hour battery to go with the efficient eighth-generation Intel Core processor.

As it turns out, battery life is a real strength. The Aspire E 15 provided solid longevity across our suite of tests, and was competitive with some much more expensive notebooks. It lasted for four hours on our most aggressive Basemark benchmark test, over nine hours in our web browsing test, and just over 12 hours playing a local video.

Those are impressive results, and they mean that the Aspire E 15 can last a full working day away from a charger. Battery life is usually a budget notebook’s Achilles heel, but Acer managed to turn it into one of the Aspire E 15’s more impressive strengths.
Our Take

The Acer Aspire E 15 is a great example of a machine doing its intended job very well. It’s not a premium notebook and doesn’t pretend to be one. Rather, Acer clearly aimed to provide a solid value, with performance, build quality, and battery life that leads the class for less money than you’d expect to pay. Taken all together, the Aspire E 15 is more notebook than you’d expect to receive for the money, and that’s a very good thing.

Is there a better alternative?

One of the more direct competitors to the Aspire E 15 is Acer’s own Aspire 5. That machine’s also a rather large and chunky 15.6-inch notebook that’s similarly priced and shares a similar build quality. It’s still mired in the past, though, and it costs the same for a seventh-generation Core i5-7200U CPU, 8GB of RAM, a 256GB SATA SSD, and a Full HD display. You save on some thickness, but you also give up the DVD-RW drive. And you won’t see nearly the battery life, either.

Another interesting option is the Dell G3 Gaming Laptop. It’s a 15.6-inch budget gaming notebook that’s a bit pricier, starting . However, what you get is a do-it-all laptop with some impressive gaming capability. But battery life isn’t great, and neither is the display.

One way to spend even less money is to go with a Chromebook. These notebooks are often less expensive than their Windows equivalents. However, it won’t run the same applications nor work as well when it’s not connected to the internet, and so whether it’s a viable option comes down to what you need your PC to do.

How long will it last?

The Aspire E 15 is built well enough that you won’t worry about how long it lasts, particularly given the minimal investment. And it’s running the latest eighth-generation Intel CPU, with the ability to pop open the case and upgrade the RAM and storage yourself. It even has a USB-C port to provide some future-proof connectivity. If you run into problems, you’ll be covered by a one-year warranty.

Should you buy it?

Yes. You’re not likely to find a better machine in this price range. The Aspire E 15 would make a great laptop for just about anyone with typical computing needs, proving plenty of power and battery life for churning through productivity tasks, and even some light gaming capability.
