The gaudy design
Though Acer hasn’t gotten many makeovers yet the overall design looks gaudy. The major impact in the design comes with its thin aesthetics and thin bezels on the screen, it looks sleek and small. It got multiple chamfered that sometimes prick while working on it. The laptop has got a plastic shell that has an Acer logo plus generic SciFi theming on the lid.
Display
The 15.6-inch IPS display offers a native resolution of FHD (1920x1080p). The Acer ComfyView LED-backlit TFT LCD delivers vivid colors and clear imagery without any distortion at any angle. Working on the screen is a pleasure, with its superb color reproduction. Text appears sharp and viewing any video or image remains steady even from any angle.
