Acer Nitro V 15 (ANV15-51) in-depth review

As you may already know, the Nitro series devices are budget-oriented laptops that offer a good bang for the buck (or at least in most cases). These machines are also very popular and that's why Acer is trying to manufacture even more affordable devices. Their new creation is called the Acer Nitro V 15 (ANV15-51).Interestingly, this one looks like an Aspire notebook with Nitro treatment. Of course, it's not just a rebranded notebook with a bit different look.

Apple MacBook Air 15 (Early 2024) in-depth review

The Apple MacBook Air (15", M3) is very similar to the 13-inch model. The main difference is the larger screen, the more powerful six-speaker sound system, and the bigger battery. The 15.3" "Liquid Retina display" is one of the best in this price class, especially considering how bright and color-accurate this panel is. This laptop isn't offered with an 8-core GPU so you can rely on the snapy M3 SoC combined with a 10-core integrated graphics card. Don't expect miracles, this is an Apple laptop - the memory and the SSD are soldered.This machine has a passive cooling. The absence of a fan h[...]

Pros

  • Fanless cooling - no noise
  • Bright PWM-free high-res display
  • Full sRGB and DCI-P3 coverage
  • Supports Wi-Fi 6E + Bluetooth 5.3
  • Good overall performance, particularly in short and medium loads
  • Strong metal chassis
  • Great battery life
  • Great sound quality thanks to the six-speaker sound system
  • Mag Safe charging port
  • The CPU can sustain higher P-core frequency in long stress than the 13" iteration

Cons

  • The port selection is the same as the 13-inch model
  • Pricey
  • Soldered memory and NVMe
  • High processor temperatures under any kind of stress
  • Notably decreased P-core clock in long loads

Acer Aspire 3 (A315-24P) in-depth review

Today, we are going to tell you all you need to know about a laptop, which will shatter the entry-level mobile market. Or will it? This question arises with every machine bold enough to make such claims, that's for sure.But there is one particular reason we think this one might fail in its quest (which may be the very reason it succeeds eventually). Precisely, we're talking about the processors of choice. They are the Ryzen 3 7320U, and the Ryzen 5 7520U. Finally, one would say, a Ryzen 7000U CPU to hit the market.As you will learn later on, this is not exactly the case. To make use o[...]

Lenovo V15 Gen 2 in-depth review

Today, we ask the age-old question - how cheap is too cheap? There is a very thin line between cheap and affordable, and we're going to see if the Lenovo V15 Gen 2 is going to provide the value it should.Traditionally, this series brings a huge amount of cost-cutting with itself. Through the years, we've seen plastic builds, slow hardware, and unattractive displays. However, there is something that tells us this year will be different.This little something is called a specs sheet. You can get this laptop with up to the Ryzen 5 5700U, which is an 8-core CPU with multithreading, and a v[...]

Apple MacBook Air 13 (Early 2024) in-depth review

Just like any other manufacturer, Apple offers new devices every year. They sport modern hardware and other improvements. This time around we'll show you the Apple MacBook Air (13", M3). As you may already guess by looking at the name, this machine has the M3 SoC combined with 8-core or 10-core iGPU plus Wi-Fi 6E for connectivity. Compared to the M2 predecessor, this machine looks like a decent refresh in terms of hardware and features. Aside from the faster CPU and GPUs, the RAM is also soldered. It's great to see that even the default 256GB storage option features two NANDs which significant[...]

Apple MacBook Air 13 (2022) in-depth review

Apple regards its MacBook Air as the best-selling 13-inch laptop in the world. The company is also notorious for artificially differentiating the Air from the Pro, by either reducing its port count, limiting its cooling, or both. Well, this year, Apple did something unexpected. The manufacturer created all new housing for the Air, which includes a new display form factor (it now has the infamous notch), while the Pro remained largely overlooked.Indeed, both devices are outfitted with the latest Apple M2 chip. And once again, the MacBook Pro 13 (2022) receives an active cooling solution, w[...]

  • Doesn't use PWM
  • Great build quality
  • Brutal battery life
  • Loud and dynamic speakers
  • Mag Safe charging port

Cons

  • I/O is limited to two Thunderbolt ports
  • Soldered RAM and storage
  • High temperatures due to the poor passive cooling
