Why you should buy the Acer Aspire 3

This version of the Acer Aspire 3 comes with a 1.8GHz Intel Core i3, Integrated Intel UHD Graphics, 8GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage. The name of the game here is efficiency. Although the Acer Aspire 3 may not have the byte storage or an advanced CPU or GPU, it’s still a great choice for casual users. This Windows 11 Home machine is designed for people who may only need a computer for email, social media, and basic media. Spec-wise, the Aspire 3 has got what it takes to handle light to medium workloads. 

As far as connections go, the Aspire 3 contains a few USB-C ports, along with Ethernet and Wi-Fi 6 + Bluetooth 5.1 capabilities. The laptop also has a bright and colorful 1920 x 1080 IPS screen that tops out at 60Hz. The Aspire 3 even has an HDMI 2.1 port in case you’d like to connect the laptop to an external monitor, TV, or projector. 

It’s hard to say how long this discount is going to stick around. It is available now, and maybe up until the end of Cyber Monday at the latest. So, now might be the best (and only) time to save over $100 on the 14-inch Acer Aspire 3. We also suggest taking a look at our roundup of the best Cyber Monday laptop deals for even more savings!
