The Acer Aspire E 15 E5-575G-53VG is a bestselling 2016 gaming laptop that has been praised for its low price, its Full-HD display and for its dedicated NVIDIA GeForce 940MX graphics card. Priced at under $600, the Acer Aspire E 15 E5-575G-53VG is a budget friendly gaming laptop with mid-range hardware that will run modern gaming titles on low to medium settings. The NVIDIA GeForce 940MX offers gamers 20% better performance than that of the GeForce 940M that is offered by many of its competitors. Equipped with a solid state drive, the Acer Aspire E 15 E5-575G-53VG offers lightning fast game loading speeds, but the 256GB of storage space is quite small for modern games and multimedia files.
Gaming is a massive pastime that has evolved into a multi-billion dollar industry, but not everyone can afford to spend upwards of $1000 on a gaming machine. This is where Acer have stepped in. The Acer Aspire E 15 E5-575G-53VG is a budget friendly gaming laptop that offers great hardware at an extremely attractive price.
The 6th generation Intel Core i5-6200U processor and 8GB of RAM will cope with day-to-day tasks with relative ease. While many similarly priced laptops offer the NVIDIA GeForce 940M processor, the Acer Aspire E 15 E5-575G-53VG is equipped with the GeForce 940MX graphics card. The 940MX offers 20% better performance and will allow for casual gaming and will run most modern games on low to medium settings while still offering good frame rates. While the solid state drive offers lightning fast Windows 10 boot and game loading speeds, the 256GB of storage space is quite small for modern gaming titles.
We recommend upgrading to a 512GB or 1TB SSD to increase the storage space while retaining the fast speeds. While many laptops under $600 are still being offered with maximum resolutions of 1366 x 786, the Acer Aspire E 15 E5-575G-53VG has a Full-HD display. The display offers good viewing angles, vivid colors and a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080.
A big draw card for the Acer Aspire E 15 E5-575G-53VG is its amazing battery life, users can expect up to 12 hours off of a single charge while browsing the web or working in Word, although expect that life reduced when gaming.

The Acer Aspire E5 offers long battery life and solid performance for the money, but its mushy keyboard and dim screen disappoint.

Thanks to a GeForce GTX 950M and a cutting-edge Kaby Lake processor, Acer's Aspire E5-575G should render even sophisticated games smoothly - and this at a competitive price of just 600 Euros ($673). What is the catch?
