There’s always the rage and craze regarding new-gen laptops but they carry somewhat of a premium that not everyone might be willing to pay. If you belong to that crowd but don’t want it burning a hole in your pocket, these offerings from Acer might be worth looking into. In this article, let’s take a look at the new Aspire 2024 laptops, their price in Nepal, and their specifications.
Acer Aspire (2024) Overview:
New Acer Aspire Laptops
Acer’s Aspire lineup of affordable everyday notebooks consisted of 3 sub-series: Aspire 3, Aspire 5, and Aspire 7. Since each of them offered models in different screen sizes with similar features, it might’ve been confusing for normal folks to distinguish between two Aspire laptops. As such, the Taiwanese company has launched the latest iterations under a new naming scheme. Instead of Aspire 3, 5, and 7, the laptops now fall under the Aspire 14, Aspire 15, and Aspire 16 umbrella.
Design and Display
The new generation of laptops brings an updated look with design elements borrowed from the popular ‘Vero’ series. The bottom of the new Aspire laptops is made from 30% PCR (Post Consumer Recycled) material while the top is aluminum. The Aspire 14 particularly brings a unique ‘Aspire’ branding near the trackpad.
On the display side, you can choose between a 14”, a 15.6”, and a 16” IPS screen. The Aspire 14 and Aspire 16 bring taller 16:10 panels while the Aspire 15 features a standard 16:9 aspect ratio. Like with previous generations, resolution and refresh rate stay at Full HD (or FHD+) and 60Hz respectively. The screen features an anti-glare coating and comes with AcerBlueLightShield support.

The 2024 edition of the Acer Aspire laptops is powered by Intel and AMD processors with a choice for NVIDIA dedicated graphics on select models. You can configure the Aspire 14 with up to an Intel Core 7 CPU, while the Aspire 15 will ship with both Intel and AMD chips. The 16-inch model offers a Core 5 or 7 CPU with dedicated RTX 2050 graphics.
You get swappable DDR5 RAM on the bigger models while the compact 14 houses soldered memory. All laptops offer up to a terabyte of Gen 4 SSD storage.
Connectivity and Extras
All Aspire notebooks feature Thunderbolt 4 support (Intel variants) via USB-C. There are also multiple USB-Type-A ports and a dedicated HDMI 2.1 port alongside a headphone jack. On the wireless side of things, you get fast WiFi 6E, and Bluetooth 5.3 support.
