Our Verdict
Acer Aspire 5 15 (2023)
Samsung Galaxy Book4 (2024)
The Samsung Galaxy Book4 (2024) and the Acer Aspire 5 15 (2023) are both budget productivity laptops. The Samsung is better when it comes to the overall user experience; it has a brighter display with superior reflection handling, a larger and more responsive touchpad, a wider port selection, and a longer battery life. Performance will depend on the configuration—you can get more processing power out of the Acer if you go with one of the H-series CPUs, like the Core i7-13620H or the Core i9-13900H, which are high-performance CPUs typically found in gaming and workstation laptops. That said, you can only get the Acer with up to 16GB of soldered RAM, so if you have an extremely demanding workload, it's best to get a laptop with more memory configurations or one that has user-replaceable RAM.
