This budget-friendly notebook from Acer has some pretty cool and unique selling points that need to be considered when buying the machine. It boasts pretty decent specs, including Intel Core i7-6500U Skylake CPU and discrete NVIDIA GeForce 940M GPU. Not only that, but the notebook also offers unique design pattern and premium brushed aluminum keyboard tray that goes along with excellent touchpad and keyboard.

You can find the notebook and all of its available configurations at Amazon.com.
