Chassis, connections, screen of the Acer Aspire 3 A314-42P-R9QG
This laptop PC has a sober and elegant appearance with its thin and light compact light silver design.
The connectivity integrated into this laptop is better than average and than that offered by many more expensive models.
It consists of 1 USB-C, 6-ax Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.1 modules for wireless remote connections and communications, a useful HDMI video output to easily connect it to a monitor or a TV for example, an audio port or even 2 USB including 1 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) ensuring transfers up to 5 times faster than USB 2.0 if USB devices 3.0 are plugged into it.
Many models still make do with old Wi-Fi 5 ac wireless connectivity.
The Full HD screen stands out with its 16/10th format, higher than the classic 16/9th to display more information.
Furthermore, the screen benefits from significant viewing angles, both horizontal and vertical, thanks to its IPS technology.
As it has an anti-reflective coating, the screen also offers better visibility in a bright environment (e.g. outdoors) than a shiny panel.
The colorimetry is obviously classic at this price level, lower than that of a high-end IPS panel.
Performance, autonomy of the Acer Aspire 3 A314-42P-R9QG
The Acer Aspire 3 A314-42P-R9QG is an elegant compact laptop designed for everyday use on the go.
Compact, thin and light which makes it as easy to transport as an Ultrabook, it may interest some wishing to equip themselves with a student laptop because it is able to last around 7 hours on battery in light use.
As a bonus, it benefits from SSD storage that is energy efficient, robust, quiet and fast.
Thanks to its high speed, the SSD clearly improves fluidity and responsiveness on a daily basis, which is manifested in particular by rapid starts/stops and launches of applications.
We obtain good performance in everyday use such as office automation, surfing the Internet, multitasking content or even watching photos and videos.
Because it is driven by a low-consumption AMD Ryzen 7 5700U Octo Core Lucienne processor in which the Radeon Vega 8 graphics module takes place, supported by 8 GB of RAM, a limiting factor in terms of multitasking.
However, if you need to be more comfortable in this area, you can add a RAM strip to the available DDR4 slot to increase its capacity.
And in terms of capacity? Here again this laptop has nothing to be ashamed of.
Because like many models on the market – including (much) more expensive – it offers 512 GB via its SSD.
However, if you need additional space, you can use an external storage unit. To obtain fast transfers, you should preferably opt for a USB 3.0/USB-C device.
