The Aspire 16 from Acer is a great all-round laptop with plenty of performance.
With one of Intel’s new Core 5 CPUs and 16GB of RAM, it has plenty of power to handle demanding tasks. Plus you get a huge 1TB SSD for all your documents, media and files.
The Aspire 16 also sports an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2050 graphics card, which allows you to take on more graphically-challenging workloads like photo or video editing – and even play games!
The Aspire 16 has the new Copilot key on the keyboard, giving you instant access to Microsoft’s AI-powered assistant.
The 16” display features a WUXGA resolution of 1920x1200, so you get 10% more detail than a standard Full HD laptop.
Additionally, the screen features Acer’s BlueLightShield technology which helps reduce eye strain and fatigue.
You get a complete array of connectivity options as standard with the Aspire 16. There’s integrated Wi-Fi 6 for getting online, as well as a Thunderbolt4 port that supports data transfer, video output and charging via a single cable, plus two more USB ports and an HDMI connection for monitors or displays.
Thanks to the Aspire 16’s powerful hardware, it’s the perfect choice for anyone needs a laptop they can be productive with.
