Fast Powerful

Gave it to my daughter. She had her IT guy set it up as part of her business network. She is thrilled.

Wife's old laptop was wearing her thin with its slow start and slow access to anything. She was so frustrated with it all that she wouldn't use the laptop much. I decided to get her this Acer Aspire Go 15 with i7 processor, 16gb ram and a 512gb ssd. She loves it. It was nice that a lot of her files moved over without much effort. Also, her old laptop had terrible audio. This Acer takes care of that. Now I need to upgrade her mouse.

Light and easy to handle. Included software is great, no bloat like older times. Runs RTL-SDR and RF Explorer software and hardware without a hitch. Einstein, asteroids, and Milky Way @home screensaver mining programs make a little fan noise, but heat is not excessive. Ill be using this for mobile signal hunting and the battery looks promising.

- Powerful for the price - Very lightweight - Good screen brightness and viewing angle - Great value.

The Ryzen 5 8640HS CPU is very powerful for the $400 price range, and is a 6 core/12 thread CPU with an itegrated Radeon 760M graphics processor that is more in line with a low-end dedicated card than what many think of as "integrated graphics" For intel fans, it would be more like the Arc graphics in a Core Ultra chip than the integrated intel graphics in earlier chips. I upgraded the system with an 8 GB DDR5-5600 RAM card to bring the system to a symmetrical 16 GB DDR5 RAM. Despite the listed specs on New Egg, it is DDR5-5600 RAM, not DDR4. The 8640HS is a Zen 4 chip. It was easier to open than a Dell Latitude to upgrade the RAM but it still takes patience to open the tabs. The build quality looks decent, especially for the price. I got it for travel, but it seems capable of light gaming too. It won't handle something demanding like Witcher III, Cyberpunk 2077, or Baulder's Gate III well, but Alien: Isolation and Subnautica seems to run well. Older less demanding games like Skyrim should too. Full disclosure, I am running Ubuntu 24.04 LTS testing the games, so "mileage may vary" on Windows 11. Fan will run higher gaming of course. I read 72-76 C while playing Alien Isolation wandering around the ship at the start. This Ryzen 5 has a max thermal throttle temperature of 100 C like it's intel counterparts, so that is actually fine. It's meant more as a media/work laptop, and for the the laptop has more than enough power.


Works incredibly well for an entry level gaming pc. It wont wow you with insane visuals, but at lower settings in games, it is very impressive and smooth. I loaded up Expedition 33, a newer, intensive, beautiful game and it ran amazingly well on medium settings. Silky smooth. Very impressive for what you get at this price point. Around $679.99 pretax at the time of purchase.

Easy to set-up. Working fast. Shipping speed was very fast.

I primarily bought it to run trading simulations and algos; It does well in handling games such as ARK and Subnautica. The temps are kept well below 60 degrees Celsius when elevated Fan noise is minimum when put to max for me and Crisp movement and execution when performing tasks

Great buy for my needs.


10 minutes set up as I transferred my old Samsung tablet info directly to the new tablet using the Samsung app



Strong mid-range gaming and multitasking performance. Robust build and excellent cooling. Fast 1TB SSD and 32GB RAM. Great port selection and upgradeability.

Minimal amount of bloatware (take note, HP). I was set up in short order. Shipping was fast.

Everything responds quickly Backlit keyboard


My daughter likes her new laptop, she likes the touchscreen and fingerprint passcode and big screen and light.
