Reddit reviews Acer Aspire ES 15, 15.6" HD, Intel Core i3-6100U, 4GB DDR3L, 1TB HDD, Windows 10 Home, ES1-572-31KW

If you want a laptop, simply purchase one (like this)
and uninstall the network drivers. You wouldn't be able to connect it back to the internet because it would have no network drivers and to install network drivers, you would have to connect to the internet.

If you live near a Micro Center they have a very good deal for $249

Only 4GB RAM, but is DDR3 (not 4) and has 2 RAM slots with 1 occupied, so you can harvest RAM from an older laptop or just buy more.

In-store pickup only

This has been my "baseline good deal" from Amazon, available all the time, $299:

I checked your other thread, both would be too weak and wouldn't recommend it, E2 will be exceptionally slow, if you can push your budget I would recommend this Acer Aspire E 15 mainly because it comes with (1920 x 1080 resolution) which is the best you can get for such a low budget, and recommended for watching movies/Netflix/Hulu , it also comes with Intel HD Graphics 620 which is again one of the best iGPU that is currently available and should be able to run light gaming/photo editing with ease on high settings , along with 4 GB (which is not enough, I would recommend making it 8 GB once you have enough budget for for smooth multi tasking) and 1 TB of HDD for storage.

If you absolutely can't then I would recommend the lower res screen for the same laptop here or refurbished laptop (better value for money that way) and still higher speced than the ones you have in mind.

If you can push your budget a bit, maybe look into the Acer E15 for $350. It has pretty decent specs which should work well, and a solid display for watching videos. It comes with a new kaby lake i3 processor, 4gb of ram, and a 1TB HDD. It has a 1080p TN display, and a very long battery (advertised up to 12 hours).

If you really want to stay at $300, my best suggestion would be the Acer ES 15 for $300. It pretty decent specs and a fine build quality. It comes with a skylake i3 processor, 4gb of ram and a 1TB HDD. It has a 720p TN display, and decent battery life (advertised up to 6.5 hours).

Get the Acer Aspire ES 15.

with your budget this Acer Aspire ES 15 would be a great option. it comes with a decent 6th Generation Intel Core i3-6100U Processor, 4GB DDR3L ram, 1TB HDD, decent battery life, cd drive, web cam, unfortunately the display screen is 1366 x 768 pixels, doesnt have a backlit keyboard, but it should be able to get your tasks done just fine.

If you need to stay within budget, then go with this.

Here's an Acer for you for $319.

Install your own SSD for a snappy laptop experience. You'll come out to $360 for laptop+ssd. The the PNY one is out of stock, this one looks equally as good at nearly the same price.

Can't you get something like a Acer with an i3 for like $400?

EDIT: there's even one for $300

I don't know what LOTR game you mentioned, it might be able to run it or it might not.

Last question ; What is the difference between those two ?

Just as I was about to order it, I found this Acer Aspire ES 15, 15.6" HD, Intel Core i3-6100U, 4GB DDR3L, 1TB HDD, Windows 10 Home, ES1-572-31KW

It's slightly cheaper but if it may meet my basic needs. Is there any advantage in buying the Acer Aspire you had recommended over this model?

Suche einen Laptop wie diesen für ca. den selben Preis in deutschem Layout. Habe bis jetzt leider nichts gefunden.


Ist an sich keine Frage, ich hoffe aber trotzdem, dass mir jemand helfen kann. Falls solche Anfragen nicht erlaubt sind, bitte ich um Entschuldigung!

I don't think you need to spend more than $600 on a laptop for such requirements. Even $400 laptop will be good for your requirements. So, make a choice depending upon your budget and what kind of games you play. If you want more better laptops then you can checkout this college laptop buying guide. It has got best laptops listed in different price ranges for school/college.

Bumping up the budget to 300 would allow you to get this laptop. It would last long, and work fast and well for a long time. Battery is great. It is not a 2 in 1 though, but as a cheap reliable laptop, it works well.I would highly recommend this.

Hmm...what on board graphics does it have? Diablo 3 is a pretty old game that didn't really need high end graphics to run properly even when it was new. I would say if you had the pretty standard Intel HD 520 graphics and set the graphics to low and in game resolution to 720 then you should fair pretty decent FPS. By decent I mean averaging above 40FPS on a laptop. But that Pentium still has me a little worried...is it too expensive to have something shipped? I think Amazon offers international shipping to South Korea, I looked on their international page and it shows that they do. That being said, if available, this could be a better option for $270 USD and then I am assuming the savings would go towards shipping? It has the newest i3 and the updated HD620, this should provide you with what is necessary to run the game smoothly on low settings. The display is only 720p but its what you get for something on such a budget with newer hardware.

Update: How odd...the new laptop is cheaper but won't ship to South Korea (yet it does ship to North Korea?)

Here is one with last years Intel Core i3 and HD 520 (which should still fare better than the Pentium) and does ship to South Korea

Maybe you can contact Amazon and work something out for the newer model?

Below a certain price you would get laptops with very little storage. If you stay at $300 you could get the Acer Aspire ES 15 . It has sufficient power to multitask while in class and its not bulky to carry around. It has the optical drive you want and a good build quality (cant expect the best at this price point)

• Intel Core i3-6100U,
  
• 4GB DDR3L,
  
• 1TB HDD
  
  Alternately if you want to go lower look at the Dell i3168 . Its less powerful bit its a get the job done 2 in 1 without an optical drive

This is right by the <$300 mark.

Its 450$. Way over my budget.
Would one of these 2 work:

This should work fine.

Some benchmarks.
