It’s not unusual to see manufactures saddle budget laptops such as this with cheaper (if faster) 720p TN (twisted nematic) displays, which make for fuzzier viewing and faded or even inverse colors if you’re looking at the screen from the sides, top, or bottom. On the plus side, it’s refreshing to see a full-on 1080p display on a laptop in this price range, not to mention one that uses an IPS (in-plane switching) panel for relatively wide viewing angles. And while a solid-state drive always helps to speed up performance compared to a traditional spinning hard drive, the skimpy 128GB capacity (which falls to about 100GB once you take Windows 10 and other pre-installed apps into account) will fill up quickly unless you rely on cloud storage. The integrated graphics core will allow for Minesweeper and some light photo editing, but nothing more taxing than that. The 4GB of RAM means you’ll likely see some performance hiccups if you run too many programs at once. The dual-core Ryzen 3 CPU is roughly equivalent to an 8th-generation Intel Core i3 chip, which ranks as a solid dual-core workhorse. We’ll cover the Aspire’s real-world performance in a moment, but on paper, we’ve got the makings of a fairly basic laptop that should do the job when it comes to general computing duties such as Office tasks and web browsing.
