The power of Intel Core i7
The Intel Core i7 processor in this laptop lets you flex your creative muscles. You won't have any problems running demanding software, and power-hungry programs like image manipulation and video editing will work like a dream.

Its 4-core, 8-thread design keeps everything running smoothly, and you'll also be able to enjoy a spot of casual gaming too.

What is RAM?
RAM (Random Access Memory) is different to the permanent storage provided by hard disk drives (HDD), solid-state drives (SSD) or memory cards in your equipment. RAM is used by your device to temporarily store data to carry out everyday operations. The more RAM your machine has, the faster you can expect it to open and run programs.

A solid performer
Featuring 8GB of RAM, this computer has enough power for casual tasks like web browsing and word processing as well as more demanding jobs like complex spreadsheets and image manipulation. You'll be able to run a healthy number of windows at once without any obvious lag or slowdown.

Super-fast loading with loads of storage
The 512GB Solid State Drive (SSD) gives you the capacity to store documents and media, while ensuring speedy and dependable access to your files and programs. It'll boots up in a flash, and you'll have enough space for your music, films, and a couple of games too.

Intel Iris Xe Graphics
Intel’s Iris Xe graphics processing unit (GPU) will enable you to enjoy a number of classic older games, along with some casual (web-based) gaming. You may be able to run more modern titles with reduced effects and frame rates.

Great entertainment
The Full HD display means all your favourite films and games will look just as incredible as they do on TV, with the built-in sound system providing crisp, clear audio to accompany whatever's on-screen.

Additionally, the Aspire 3 features Acer’s BlueLightShield technology which helps reduce eye strain and fatigue, particularly when using it for an extended period of time.

Connecting your other devices
Connect to TVs or external displays with the HDMI output. Listen to music using a 3.5mm headphone jack. Connect to high-speed peripherals with the USB ports, and send data wirelessly between devices using Bluetooth.

*Upgrade rollout plan is being finalised and is scheduled to begin late in 2021 and continue in 2022. Specific timing will vary by device. Certain features require specific hardware. See https://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-11-specifications for details.
