Acer's Go laptops are meant for, well, on-the-go use. They're lightweight, affordable systems for people with simple computing needs who don't need or want to spend extra money for features or performance they don't need. Whether you're a student that doesn't want a lot more weight in a backpack or a home office specialist that wants to occasionally work from the café or library, the Go line seeks to give you "good enough" performance without breaking the bank (or your back).
Models in the Go line range from stripped-down sub-$300 affairs that are almost Chromebook-like to more fully equipped variants that cost over $800. This specific configuration is a slightly more expensive and more powerful version than the one we reviewed a few months back. For roughly $200 extra, you get more RAM, more storage and a slight bump in CPU performance.
