Acer Aspire ES1-572 [ES1-572-589F]

turbocharged processor

The Acer Aspire ES1-572 is currently the most affordable laptop with an Intel Kaby Lake processor on the market. Moreover, it does not have a dual-core Celeron or Pentium chip installed (they will go on sale much later), and not even a low-frequency four-thread Core i3, but a powerful turbocharged Core i5-7200U, capable of automatically overclocking from 2.5 to 3.1 GHz, speeding up the execution resource-intensive, but poorly parallelized tasks (for example, old games).

Buying for growth

The Aspire ES1-572 has 4 GB of RAM. This is enough for working with electronic documents and web surfing, but if you decide, for example, to professionally edit photos and videos, it is better to install the same amount of RAM. Fortunately, there is a second free SO-DIMM slot. But be careful, because instead of the usual DDR3 memory (supply voltage 1.5 V), you will need low-voltage DDR3L (1.35 V).

Visible savings

The main disadvantage of the Aspire ES1-572 is characteristic of absolutely all inexpensive laptops - low resolution (1366x768 pixels) and small viewing angles of the screen (feature of a cheap TN-matrix). The lack of a DVD drive and a VGA video output will not be counted as a disadvantage, because now few people need them. We can advise the Acer Aspire ES1-572 to those who are looking for a high-performance laptop for minimal money and who will be able to upgrade it themselves over time using a second RAM module and an SSD drive.
