    Acer Aspire 3 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 of modern technology possible inside laptops at this end of the market, AMD created these two CPUs. They combine older Zen 2 architecture CPU cores with LPDDR5 RAM and RDNA2 integrated graphics. Unfort[...]

    Disassembly, maintenance and upgrade options

    This Acer device is a weird abomination, which combines brand-new iGPU technology with a 3-year-old CPU architecture. This results in soldered LPDDR5 RAM, but an ability to upgrade the storage via a single M.2 PCIe x4 slot, which is limited to Gen 3 SSDs.Check out all Acer Aspire 3 (A315-24P) prices and configurations in our Specs System, or read more in our In-Depth review.1.

    In addition to receiving efficient and health-friendly profiles, by buying LaptopMedia's products you also support the development of our labs, where we test devices in order to produce the most objective reviews possible.

    Office Work

    Office Work should be used mostly by users who spend most of the time looking at pieces of text, tables or just surfing. This profile aims to deliver better distinctness and clarity by keeping a flat gamma curve (2.20), native color temperature and perceptually accurate colors.

    Design and Gaming

    This profile is aimed at designers who work with colors professionally, and for games and movies as well. Design and Gaming takes display panels to their limits, making them as accurate as possible in the sRGB IEC61966-2-1 standard for Web and HDTV, at white point D65.

    Health-Guard

    Health-Guard eliminates the harmful Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) and reduces the negative Blue Light which affects our eyes and body. Since it’s custom tailored for every panel, it manages to keep the colors perceptually accurate. Health-Guard simulates paper so the pressure on the eyes is greatly reduced.
