Our Verdict

Acer Aspire 5 15 (2023)

Acer Aspire 15 (2024)

The Acer Aspire 15 (2024) is very similar to the Acer Aspire 5 15 (2023). The main differences are that the newer 2024 model has an additional QHD display that'll give you a better viewing experience, as well as Wi-Fi 6E wireless connectivity. The 2024 model's performance remains in the same ballpark as its predecessor, even though it sports newer Intel Raptor Lake CPUs.
