Benefits
With a 14 inch display, the Acer Aspire ES 14 ES1-432-P189 is still light enough to be considered highly portable at just 1.9 Kg but without giving up too much in the viewing area category. When it comes time to get some serious work done or even just watch the latest video the difference between a 13.3-inch display and a 14-inch display is very noticeable and the latter can make for a much better experience.
Acer has made sure to keep the price of this device firmly in the budget range and with plenty of consumers unable to just unwilling to spend the big amounts a new technology that some of the higher-end models are going for it is a great way to find a new laptop that is still quite capable within your budget.
We have seen many budget models drastically reduce the size of internal storage to help drive the price down to before unseen discounts but for many the few dollars of savings is just not worth it to be left without any storage space. This Aspire has avoided doing this by sticking with a large drive which in this case is 1 TB in size, more than the average user will ever need.
Downsides
One of the reasons that the Acer Aspire ES 14 ES1-432-P189 is so budget-friendly is the fact they have included limited hardware such as processor and memory. It is powered by a lower-end Intel Pentium and not the I series of processors we see in slightly more expensive laptops. Probably even more concerning for higher-end power users is that only 4 GB of memory has been included which is the very minimum offered in most new laptops.
Verdict
Those looking to strike a balance between portability and convenience of a larger display will love the 14-inch screen included on the Acer Aspire ES 14 ES1-432-P189 and best of all it still comes at a budget friendly price.
