Conclusion: The E Series Acer Aspire E15-571-56UQ has the quality and solid performance you need with the ultra-low voltage Haswell i5 CPU and 8GB of RAM to launch apps very quickly, is a powerful daily tasks computer for streaming videos, working on Microsoft Word and Excel, multitasking, net surfing and playing lighter games or some of the newer titles at lower resolutions- suitable for anything except for the very demanding programs. There is no DVD drive and it doesn’t come with a decent dedicated mid-range graphics card for gaming but an integrated Intel HD 4400 with lacklustre performance but still more than adequate for most things other than heavy games. This is a decent mid-range notebook overall with a very fair price to boot and comes with a 1 year limited parts and labor warranty if you need that within this period.
