Acer’s Aspire 15” Laptop is a versatile workhorse beloved by students, professionals, remote workers, and casual gamers alike. And for the next couple of days, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better laptop for $500, thanks to Prime Big Deal Days on October 8 and 9.

The Aspire 15” is now 23% off for Prime Day — and it’s more than the sum of its parts (although the parts are pretty dang good, too). Features like a solid-state drive, a full HD display, and a powerful AMD Ryzen 5 5500U processor are typically reserved for machines that cost hundreds more.

You also get 16 GB of RAM to keep loading times minimal. Importantly, you can upgrade the RAM and storage capacity if you decide you need more, so there’s no pressure to buy more than you need right now. The laptop comes preloaded with Windows 11, so you’re also able to download the latest programs to support your needs for work and entertainment.

At 15.6 inches, the 1920p x 1080p FHD display is big enough to split-screen or enjoy a movie while being compact enough to slide into the laptop sleeve of a backpack. The screen also sports an anti-reflection coating to cut down on glare and save battery life by not requiring as much brightness.

The Acer Aspire 15” is just 3.5 pounds, too, so it isn’t a pain in the back to travel with, and a 10-hour battery life is better than most competitors. A webcam and microphone make the Aspire 15” ideal for remote work and an audio line out means you can keep your favorite wired headphones. Acer didn’t skimp on the rest of the ports, either; you get USB 3.2, USB-C and an HDMI input.

While it’s not designed for gaming, the Aspire 15” and its AMD Ryzen 5 5500U processor have enough processing power to keep up with games like Minecraft, according to multiple user reviews. A great laptop isn’t always $500, so take advantage of Prime Big Deal Days while you still can.
