3 reasons to BUY the Acer Aspire 1 (A114-32)

1. The price

The end price of this device is its biggest key selling point. For a small amount of money (for a laptop), you will get a new machine that will serve you on a daily basis. The low price tag is possible because of the not-so-powerful Pentium and Celeron CPUs (Gemini Lake and Apollo Lake) and the cheap-ish build quality.

2. Battery life

The battery unit has a relatively small size – just 37Wh. Battery life isn’t corresponding with battery size in this machine and we achieved over 8 hours of Web browsing and 9 hours of video playback.

3. Silent under load

The CPU is passively cooled by a big copper plate. Yes, no fans – no noise. This is a comfortable machine for work because it produces zero noise under load.


2 reasons not to BUY the Acer Aspire 1 (A114-32)

1. The display

The display (N140BGA-EB3 CMN14C4) has a 768p resolution which doesn’t sound impressive at all. It’s a TN panel and that means bad viewing angles, mediocre contrast ratio – 360:1 (340:1 after profiling), and poor sRGB color coverage – just 50%.

2. Upgradability

Upgradability? This is a forbidden word for this laptop – the memory and storage are soldered (no future upgrades).
