You can get an Acer Aspire Go 15 laptop for $350 at Best Buy, a savings of $250 from the usual price, but the sale only lasts for today or whenever stock runs out. That’s a good price for a PC with a mid-range Core i5 processor, 1080p screen, and Windows 11.
The Aspire laptop model on sale has a 15.3-inch 1920×1200 IPS screen (so 1080p with a bit of added height), 256GB of internal SSD storage, and 8GB RAM. The processor is an Intel Core i5-1334U, with two performance cores, eight efficient cores, and a max turbo frequency of 4.6GHz. That’s plenty of power for web browsing and typical productivity applications, and it comes with Windows 11.
There’s a decent selection of ports, including two USB 3.2 Type-C connectors, two USB 3.2 Type-A ports, HDMI 2.1, and a headphone/microphone combo jack. Unlike many other budget laptops, this Acer Aspire laptop can charge through the USB Type-C ports, instead of using a proprietary barrel connector for power. You also get Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1.
There are a few drawbacks to this laptop, but they’re all understandable given the low price point. The 8GB RAM will limit how many applications and browser tabs you can have running before performance slows down, or the browser starts putting background tabs to sleep. This definitely isn’t a gaming laptop, with no dedicated graphics card and only 8GB RAM, but more lightweight games like Minecraft should be usable. The keyboard also isn’t backlit, though you do get a number pad.
Even with the drawbacks, this is a solid laptop for under $400. You get a modern mid-range Core i5 processor, a 1080p screen, USB Type-C charging, and other helpful features. If you need a laptop for Google Docs, web browsing, or Office apps, this is a solid option that won’t break the bank.
This deal is only live for today, or whenever stock runs out, so don’t wait too long if you’re interested.
