Review Acer Aspire E1-531 Notebook

[Redaktion]

An extra helping. Acer's Aspire E1-531 promises a big 15.6 inch screen for little money. With an Intel Pentium processor and 6 GB of working memory, the elegant giant wants to prove that it can be more than just a workplace or a portable home cinema. It might just be a real bargain considering a purchase price of merely EUR 300.

I have an E1-531 but is slower than this presented on top.
It has Celeron processor with 1.8 GHz, 4GB RAM, and the video card only has
128 MB memory.

I have an E1-531 g with geForce 710M, and it's work briliant. I'm using it for 3D graphics, programming and gaming and music production and it's fantastic. A lot of new games work perfect on mid/high details, system runs very fast, i haven't any problems with wi-fi, bluetooth.

But case looks like crap. Cheap, soft, glossy plastic everywere. I'm afraid when I must take it to rucksack. 2 days later after unpacking it, i had a lot of scratches. And that glossy screen...

Battery perfomance is not perfect, but not bad. While surfing the internet, battery is out after aproximatelly 3 hours, on gaming 1 hour.

Overlay: Budget laptop with very good perfomance. If it'll be stolen, I will buy it again.

I bought an E1-531 on January 5 2013 for home use and on April 12 2013 it just went bye-bye, darkness nothing works. How`s that for long lasting performance? Will I purchase an Acer again mmmmmm... maybe not

The absolute worst PC purchase I have made.  Since day one the ACER shut off with no warning.  No luck talking to manufacturer.  It's just a paperweight now.

This laptop is quite good for normal office use. The Celeron 1.8GHz version is not necessarily slower, because it features a newer Ivy Bridge architecture. I have that one myself. The new one also features a usb 3.0 slot.

Moreover, this is the laptop I have got for under 300€. You cannot expect miracles from it.
