The Aspire VX15 ran effortless in recent tittles with medium settings on the Nvidia GTX1050Ti, a GPU that packed with decent graphic rendering power.
Most games can be played on medium to high settings but we experienced few drops of frame rate during Dota 2 with certain spike lag during games. This shouldn’t be happening on the VX15, given its hardware is beyond average.
Nonetheless, this laptop is stuck with 4GB RAM and 1TB of slow 5400rpm hard drive. These slow laptop hard drive is suitable for documentation or web browsing but a SSD is recommended for better multitasking and quicker boot.
Despite there isn’t any mechanical switches on its keyboard, the chic lit keybaord did a great job when gaming and typing. The W, A, S, D keys are highlighted so the convenience of the user during their gaming session.
The VX15 supports Dolby Audio and comes with 5 different music mode for gaming or music enjoyment.
In short, the Acer Aspire VX15 is a decent mid-range laptop for multimedia, office productivity and gaming in the year 2017. Despite stuck in a slow hard drive and 4GB of limited RAM, you might want a SSD upgrade for better performance in gaming or your productivity.
