Acer Aspire 3 review

 By Anant

Here’s a in-depth review of the Acer Aspire 3 equipped with an Intel dual-core processor:

🖥️ Design & Build

Acer Aspire 3

Built with durable plastic, the Aspire 3 feels solid for its budget price—no creaks or flex.

It weighs ~1.7–1.8 kg, which is slightly heavy but still travel-friendly and it also has a great weight distribution.

Offers plenty of ports: dual USB‑A (3.2 & 2.0), HDMI, audio jack, some models include USB‑C.

🎹 Keyboard & Trackpad

Keyboard is comfortable and nearly full‑size, including a numpad.

Trackpad is spacious and responsive; minor complaints while doing the clicks.

🖼️ Display

Acer Aspire 3 Display

Comes with a Full HD panel, but often low brightness (around 200–250 nits), limited color (≈60 % sRGB) but overall it's good for the range it comes for.

Viewing angles are narrow; contrast and clarity degrade when off-center, typical of budget IPS panels.

🔊 Audio & Webcam

Speakers are adequate but thin on bass and volume and has a good clear sound on high volume.

Webcam is basic 720p—watchable in good light but the audio outgoing is a draw back.

Specifications

•It comes with a Full HD display

• 8gb of ram

•A Storage Expandable upto 1 TB

⚙️ Performance

Intel Dual‑Core Variants:

Celeron N4500 (entry-level)

Suitable for MS Office, web browsing (4–5 tabs), Zoom, YouTube and can run some low end games like GTA San andreas,just cause 2, Asphalt 8 and many others

It comes with 8gb of ram for smoother multitasking.

Intel Core i3‑1235U / 13th‑gen i3‑1305U

Offers noticeably better productivity; Geekbench scores show respectable single/multi-core performance.

Ideal for everyday use and light workloads but this can run a bit high-end games.

🔋 Battery Life & Thermals

Equipped with a 38–50 Wh battery, delivering about 6–8 hours of light use, but heavy tasks (video streaming, gaming) shorten it to 3.5 to 4.5 hours but that's quite good for the range.

Power draw under load (~32–34 W); charging with a standard 45 W adapter.

Cooling is basic—fan may sound when doing heavy tasks and chassis can feel warm near the hinge.

• Keyboard is very great.

•Expandable ram and ssd

Weaknesses
