If you've been after a laptop with a screen big enough to really spread out your work but still light enough to move around, the Acer Aspire 3 is worth considering. It's got a 17.3-inch Full HD display that gives you plenty of room for editing documents, browsing or streaming, and it weighs 2.1kg, so it's not going to weigh down your bag. Inside, there's an Intel Core i3 processor and 8GB of RAM, which handles everyday tasks like emails, web browsing, and spreadsheets without slowing down, and the 1TB SSD gives you loads of space for apps and files.
Battery life is around 7 hours, so you'll get through most of a day before needing to plug in. It runs Windows 11 Home, with a built-in webcam and microphone for video calls. You get 2 USB 2.0 ports, 1 USB 3.0 port, an HDMI output for connecting to a monitor or TV, an Ethernet port, and a headphone jack. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth let you connect to your home network or pair wireless headphones. The screen features BlueLightShield technology to reduce eye strain during longer sessions and has an anti-glare coating. What's in the box - the Aspire 3 laptop, a 45W charger, and a setup guide.

Cheap, big, great for homework
I bought this for my teen daughter so I could get mine back again. She uses it for homework, browsing and undoubtedly watching the TikTok’s. It’s a bit bigger than I thought but still portable enough. It’s lacking on peripheral ports overal and the absence of USB C on such a recent purchase is disappointing but again, we will live. It was cheap and will manage everything she needs it for

Great Purchase
Very happy with my new Acer laptop.Very fast response and a great screen. I wanted a new one because my old laptop was so slow and always causing me problems. This meets all my expectations. Great value compared to many other brands.

Good sizes, speed good for home use.
This is a good size laptop for around home computing use. Not much help getting up and running. Not very good information pack in box. had to go on line for trouble shooting. could be a problem for some.

Missing a screw.
Missing a screw so clearly Quality control is a bit on the poor side. overall its not to bad but it supports a lot less RAM than prior Aspire i3 17in models. I upgraded it to the max 24GB (8 built in non removable + 16GB ) and it seems happy gaming and video recording etc. Prior models supported an additional 32GB Stick which would have lifted this to 40GB if supported. Had to download the Realtek drivers for the Realtek manage to install correctly to address headset issues as the preinstalled version missed this. as it was a Black Friday and quid co offer I did well to get this at a very reasonable price thou. Battery isn't on power with my XPS but its a 17in so its not going to be traveling much. it has an ethernet port and proper USB ports which is good to see shame Theres no DVD drive, but decentish speakers and a full size keyboard but trackpad is off center.

The Acer Aspire 3 17.3in i3 8GB 1TB Laptop - Silver has suitable graphics to run most low level games and imagery software. It does meet the minimum requirements to run Football Manager 2023 but high graphic output might not be able to be achieved.
