Highlights
This laptop is eligible for a free upgrade to Windows 11 (see below for further details)* The Aspire 3 from Acer is an ideal everyday laptop, designed to meet the most common computing needs with ease. With a powerful 10th gen Intel Core i5 CPU and 8GB of RAM, it can power through a wide range of tasks – from dealing with large documents to multi-tasking, all without slowing down. You also get a 256GB SSD, which gives you plenty of space for all your documents, media and files without compromising on performance. The 15.6” Full HD IPS screen offers great detail, vivid colours and wide viewing angles as well as being large enough to be comfortable to use - ideal for both work and play, especially watching a move or streaming the latest boxset. Additionally, the Aspire 3 features Acer’s BlueLightShield technology which helps reduce eye strain and fatigue, particularly when using it for an extended period of time. The Aspire 3 also comes with a full complement of connectivity options, for maximum convenience. Integrated dual-band Wi-Fi 5 not only allows you to get online easily but helps to minimise drop-outs and lag as well, while the USB ports and HDMI port ensure you can connect a wide range of accessories and external displays without any hassle. This versatility means the Aspire 3 is perfect for families where it will be used by a number of people, especially if the kids need to do homework. It’s also a great choice for students, who will need a laptop to complete their coursework as well as being using for entertainment and casual needs. *The Windows 11 upgrade programme schedule is still being finalised by Microsoft but is expected to begin in late 2021 and continue into 2022 – availability dates will vary by device.
