Acer Aspire 5 vs Acer Aspire E15
It’s been debated for ages – is the Acer Aspire 5 or Acer Aspire E15 the better option?
The two main differences are the RAM and the battery.
The E 15 has 2 RAM slots that accept DDR3L-1600 RAMs up to 32GB (even though it does use 8th Gen), while the Acer Aspire 5 only has 1 RAM slot that can take DDR4-2400 RAM.
The E15 has a longer battery life (around 10-11 hours), while the Aspire 5 has around a 6 hour battery life.
