Acer Aspire 7

The Acer Aspire 7 is a laptop that makes some notable compromises in its pursuit of high-end mid-range performance. Its chunky design may not be the most stylish, but it pays off in terms of thermal management and keyboard quality. However, the trackpad, webcam, and speakers are subpar, and the display's peak brightness varies significantly depending on region. This laptop shines with decent performance, great IO ports, and customizable specs, making it a solid choice for those seeking a high-end mid-range experience.
