This $799 Acer laptop is ideal for students, but I'd just as soon take it to the office


The Acer Aspire 16 is the kind of midrange laptop we need more of. Its marathon battery and strong performance make it a reliable choice for many.

The Acer Aspire 16 AI opts for a practical design, measuring 14 x 9.85 x 0.63 inches and weighing 3.42 pounds, it's sleek, sliding easily into most backpacks. This level of multitasking shows that the Aspire 16 is versatile enough for students looking for a computer flexible enough for bouncing between homework and streaming or professionals juggling multiple apps. It's very similar in terms of size and target audience, but Dell's model is more suited to demanding tasks, has a more premium build, and a nicer 2.5K touchscreen (but is twice the price).
