The Acer Aspire VX 15, which stands out as a budget-friendly alternative among laptops, aims to be a price / performance device with ambitious hardware. When it comes to gaming computers, players can pack up legendary casinos if they have enough money. However, each player can not have a budget or place for a gigantic case. Particularly, students who have to travel frequently or prefer to stay at home are game-focused notebook alternatives at this point. The Acer Aspire VX 15, which comes in our test center, is one of them.
Let’s start with the design of the VX 15 first. Although Razer tries to break this habit, the most preferred color is red when the game and the computer come together. The VX 15 is no exception to this. The red details that draw attention in the black body, especially the red detailing the fans, are striking at first sight. The Aspire VX 15 comes in pretty sharp lines. Instead of a flat, rectangular body design, small cuts were made, especially in the corners, at the edges. Although it is a rather large body, the device does manage to look stylish. At this point, we need to specify the following details; The material used on the VX 15’s lid is stained. So when you unzip the device, you can see your fingerprint on it. The same red details welcome us when we lift the lid. For a more comfortable experience, the WASD keys of the device are wrapped in a red frame.
On the other hand, there is a numeric keypad on the device. We can see this as both an advantage and a disadvantage. The numeric keyboard is easy to use especially in passwords and similar situations as it is in the standard computer keyboard. However, the touchpad has moved further to the left as the position. When we placed our hands on the laptop keyboard, we still had to hold it a little to the left. It is not a huge impact, but in the first place, a person is alienating and the flow of use is deteriorating. On the other hand, we can say that we use the touchpad to play more games at a minimum level. But since it supports touch shortcuts, it simplifies usage. For example, when you drag up three fingers up on the touchpad, you can see all the open application windows open and you can quickly switch between windows. You can also do this by sliding your three fingers to the left or right in the same way as the windows cross. It is also not surprising that the backlighting of the keyboard is red without moving to the connection points. The device will come with 2 USB 3.0, one USB 2.0, Ethernet input, HDMI output and a USB 3.1 Type-C connection point.
The VX 15, as its name suggests, has a screen that offers Full HD resolution of 15.6 “. Obviously, we can say that the screen size is enough for the gaming experience. Another plus is that the matt screen does not glare. Let’s add that the computer display is performing quite well when the brightness is on until the end. Another point is the sound of course. The sound performance of the computer with two loudspeakers supported by Dolby Audio is successful. Likewise, the speakers we tested on Netflix are performing well. The device includes a quad-core Intel Core i7-7700HQ processor running at 2.8 GHz. With the 16 GB RAM (DDR4), you can increase the RAM of the device up to 32 GB. In addition, the device includes 1 TB of external disk and 128 GB of SSD. One of the most important details is the video card. In the period when NVIDIA’s laptop gaming computers were gradually abandoning the M series cards, Acer did not take a different decision on the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 computer. Of course, it made us very happy that there was no M series at this point.
