The 15-inch screen is well-suited for browsing the web, checking emails, and using productivity software, while the onboard webcam is sufficient to take work calls while away from the office.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/why-buying-the-right-laptop-is-more-complicated-than-ever-and-how-to-make-the-best-choice\/\">Why buying the right laptop is more complicated than ever (and how to make the best choice)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At 3.75 pounds, this is not the lightest laptop, and the 15-inch display results in a slightly bulky body, but the tradeoff is a full-sized keyboard with a right-side number pad (even if the keys are slightly smaller) and a display that feels just big enough.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, &#8220;just enough&#8221; is the overarching theme for this laptop. It has just enough performance to cover the basics, a good enough webcam, port selection, and form factor, with the stand-out feature being a surprisingly long-lasting battery. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/why-buying-the-right-laptop-is-more-complicated-than-ever-and-how-to-make-the-best-choice\/\">Why buying the right laptop is more complicated than ever (and how to make the best choice)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When you look closely at these parameters, you can see that they&#8217;re quite well-optimized, resulting in a laptop with limitations but a device that also performs well within the scope of its capabilities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"c-shortcodeImage u-clearfix c-shortcodeImage-large\">\n<div class=\"c-shortcodeImage_imageContainer\">\n<div class=\"c-shortcodeImage_image\"><picture class=\"c-cmsImage\"><!----> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/i-found-a-cheap-windows-laptop-that-id-actually-use-for-work-travel-and-its-on-sale\/\" alt=\"Acer Aspire Go 15\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720.2133333333334\" fetchpriority=\"low\"><\/picture><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div><figcaption> <span class=\"c-shortcodeImage_credit g-outer-spacing-top-xsmall u-block\">Kyle Kucharski\/ZDNET<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>So, let&#8217;s look at what&#8217;s under the hood. The Aspire Go 15 has an Intel Core i3-N305, a somewhat low-end processor with just 8GB of RAM. This combination of hardware limits this machine&#8217;s capabilities. However, in my testing, the laptop could mostly keep up with my internet browsing habits (read: lots of YouTube tabs) and work-related apps, if not some stuttering once the CPU was taxed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I used this laptop for a week, taking it to and from the office and swapping it between my main computer, and it handled basic productivity tasks well. However, performance dips once you have a handful of apps open and start trying to move quickly between windows.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/should-you-upgrade-to-m5-macbook-pro-from-an-m1-how-the-numbers-add-up\/\">Should you upgrade to M5 MacBook Pro from an M1? How the numbers add up<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Regarding the keyboard and trackpad, I have no complaints about typing on the Aspire Go 15. The keys are light, responsive, and quiet. If you like backlights on your keyboards, you&#8217;ll find none of these luxuries here, but the keys&#8217; textured feel and springiness are fine. The trackpad doesn&#8217;t feel particularly high-end, but it&#8217;s well-positioned and does the job.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The entire physical form factor of this laptop can be described similarly. Upon first inspection, the full-plastic body feels a bit flimsy, and the display tends to wobble. The laptop&#8217;s silver-and-black color scheme gives off a neutral, non-descript aesthetic.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"c-shortcodeImage u-clearfix c-shortcodeImage-large\">\n<div class=\"c-shortcodeImage_imageContainer\">\n<div class=\"c-shortcodeImage_image\"><picture class=\"c-cmsImage\"><!----> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/i-found-a-cheap-windows-laptop-that-id-actually-use-for-work-travel-and-its-on-sale\/\" alt=\"Acer Aspire Go 15\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" fetchpriority=\"low\"><\/picture><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div><figcaption> <span class=\"c-shortcodeImage_credit g-outer-spacing-top-xsmall u-block\">Kyle Kucharski\/ZDNET<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The 15-inch display is rather basic and not very bright, but it does have nice viewing-angle flexibility, unlike other Chromebooks or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/best-laptop\/\">budget laptops<\/a>. The 1080p full HD display has sufficient contrast, even if the 60Hz refresh rate isn&#8217;t phenomenal. I think anything less than 75% brightness on this laptop is too dim.<\/p>\n<p>The selection of ports here is also just enough. You get two USB-A ports, one USB-C, an HDMI port, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a Kensington lock slot. The charger that comes with the Aspire Go 15 is a cheap-feeling proprietary jack, but the laptop can also be charged via its USB-C port.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><!----><\/p>\n<p>The speakers are not inspiring, as you might imagine for a $300 laptop. Although the speakers can get sufficiently loud, they are thin and tinny. Connect your Bluetooth <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/best-earbuds\/\">wireless earbuds<\/a> or plug into the headphone jack to hear better audio.<\/p>\n<p>So, let&#8217;s talk about the battery life of this laptop. I used the device intermittently for a day and a half before needing to plug it back in. In a more demanding battery test, the laptop lasted over 10 hours with a constant livestream video running. This battery life leads me to believe that the hardware on this machine, even on the lower end, is at least well-optimized.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/one-of-the-most-refined-windows-11-pcs-ive-tested-this-year-is-not-what-you-think\/\">One of the most refined Windows 11 PCs I&#8217;ve tested this year is not what you think<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>However, this laptop will not last more than a day of demanding, sustained use. If you take the Acer Aspire Go 15 to the office and forget your charger, you&#8217;ll get about seven to eight hours of life. But all things considered, the battery power on this machine rounds out the package nicely.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>ZDNET&#8217;s buying advice<\/h2>\n<p>For the price, the <span class=\"c-commerceLink\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cc.zdnet.com\/v1\/otc\/00hQi47eqnEWQ6T9d4QLBUc?merchant=02zLDwCqTbhlnKCTPdI0yqf&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.walmart.com%2Fip%2FAcer-Aspire-Go-15-6-Touch-Screen-Windows-Laptop-AMD-Ryzen-5-7520U-8GB-RAM-512GB-SSD-Pure-Silver%2F16462216617\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\" target=\"_blank\"><span>Acer Aspire Go 15<\/span><!----><\/a><\/span> is a solid pick for users without demanding performance requirements or for people who need a secondary laptop for traveling.
