Our Verdict

Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 15 (2023)

Acer Aspire 3 Spin 14 (2023)

The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 15 (2023) is much better than the Acer Aspire 3 Spin 14 (2023) for most uses. The IdeaPad has a better keyboard, touchpad, and webcam. Additionally, it's available with faster CPUs and more RAM, so it can handle more demanding workloads with fewer slowdowns. However, the IdeaPad is only a clamshell model, while the Aspire is a 2-in-1 convertible, meaning you can use it as a tablet. The Aspire's battery lasts longer, though neither laptop can last through a typical eight-hour workday.
