Acer Aspire 7 lets you play games without being seen. Its design hasn’t changed much in years, except for a few small details here and there. However, the hardware has gotten better. This model comes with processors from Intel’s 10th Generation and graphics cards up to the GTX 1650 Ti. Even though it’s not the most powerful combination out there, it could be your go-to device for both work and games.
In fact, the Aspire 7 has been like the Nitro 5 gaming series in the past. But unlike the other two, the Aspire has a more grown-up look. Instead of the RGB and red accents that gamers like, it has a white backlight and a more industrial look.

This laptop is also neither too heavy nor too light. It is 363.2 mm long, 254 mm wide, and 23.3 mm thick. It weighs 2150 g.

We weren’t able to get the same results when we tested the laptop, but the battery life is still surprisingly good.
