Hello everyone. This is my first post here and I would like some opinions on my recent laptop purchase.
As the title says, I just bought the Acer Aspire 3 and I went for this laptop because my company already supplied me with a laptop with a decent GPU to run BIM software. I bought the Acer as my personal laptop since my Asus X455L is already showing its age (I purchased the Asus during 2017).
Here is the Acer Aspire 3 specs that I bought:
Ryzen 5 7520U (iGPU AMD Radeon)
16GB DDR5
512GB SSD Memory
Windows 11
Will this be enough to be used in a long term for work and light gaming? I only play a bit of Dota 2, Honkai Star Rail and emulators. As for work, it seems the laptop can run Prota and AutoCAD with ease as of now.
I am looking for a decent laptop that I want to buy for a person that will use it mainly for writing documents, web browsing, some Affinity Designer/Photo usage etc. No gaming or extreme stuff, but with enough performance to get the job done.
I shortlisted some Acer Aspire 5 515 models. Basically, the same laptop is offered with 8 GB RAM, 512 GB NVME storage, 15-inch IPS display, however, with a different CPU:
A515-55-53BS: i5-1035G1 (1.0-3,6 GHz, 4C/8T)
A515-54-56D6: i5-10210U (1.6-4.2 GHz, 4C/8T)
A515-44-R2J2: Ryzen 3 4300U (2.7-3.7 GHz, 4C/4T)
There's also an older model:
A515-43-R20Q: Ryzen 5 3500U (2.1-3.7 GHz, 4C/8T)
This comparison indicates similar performance. There are a few reviews that mention some cooling issues which cause throttling of the i5 models and . I did not find a review for the newer AMD model, though.
I was speculating that a Ryzen 3 model could perform better and not throttle as much as i5 models since the cooling solution in this particular laptop is not stellar. Besides, the AMD model is cheaper.
Which one of the following would you get and why?
Looking to get this laptop for my daughter for Christmas. She is 10 and plans on doing her school work that she has online with it. Also she wants to be able to play some Minecraft/Roblox and watch Netflix on it. Would this be an okay starter laptop for her? I really don’t know much about them.
Here is the link to the one I’m looking at (ryzen 3 3200u)
