✅ Reasons to Buy

  • Affordable – Coming in at around the $300-$399 price range (Check current price here) this is one of the best deals on a laptop you can get for law school.
  • Purified Voice technology – built in noise filtering ensures that you come across smooth and crisp on those online classes and video meetings.
  • Blue light protection – you’ll spend a lot of time in law school straining your eyes to read and study. Any amount of protection you can get, especially from blue light that comes from electronics will spare you eye strain and perhaps a migraine or two.
  • Keyboard – the keyboard has a soft touch and great feedback that rivals even the more expensive laptops.

❌ Reasons not to buy

  • Weight – at 3.96 pounds this is one of the more heavy laptops for law school. Weak arms should think twice before purchasing.
  • Battery life – only 10 hours of average battery life. Plenty to get you through an entire day, but you won’t want to forget your charger often.
  • Screen size – 15.6 inches is a on the larger size for what you may want to bring to class and fit on a desk.

⚖️ Bottom Line

The Acer Aspire is incredibly affordable. It will serve your law school needs well. If you only intend to use your laptop for law school, then this is a great option and you’ll carry around an extra $1000+ in your pocket compared to your classmates with the more expensive brands. However, the price brings some drawbacks and that means this laptop likely won’t last as long as other options because of the reduced memory and computer power.
