    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.

    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.
