    Acer Aspire Go 15 in-depth review

    The laptop market is full of affordable daily drivers with decent hardware. The Acer Aspire Go (AG15-51P) falls right into this category. It's powered by 15W Alder Lake-based processors. These are still fast enough for normal usage but the lack of a dedicated NPU unit for AI tasks could be a no-go for some users.

The same can be said about the upgradability.When it comes to display variants, we are happy to see that there are no TN units. The only panel available for this Acer series is a 15.3" IPS screen with a 16:10 aspect ratio which sounds perfectly fine for this kind of device.

    Disassembly, maintenance and upgrade options

    Opening the Acer Aspire Go Hint: Make sure the device is powered off and unplugged before disassembly.Undo the 10 Phillips-head screws securing the bottom panel to the chassis. Use a thin plastic tool to pry the back of the panel and pop the top edges. Continue prying along the sides and the front to release all internal clips.More info: The bottom panel provides access to the RAM, battery, storage, and cooling system.Battery Removal Caution: Handle the battery carefully and avoid contact with the connectors using metal tools.Detach the battery connector[...]

    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.
