A few months ago, we took a look at this,

Adverbs of degree

the $350 Acer Aspire E15, which just so happens

But for 350 bucks, what are you actually getting?

Well, at first glance, it doesn't look all that special,

so for $350, you're getting plastic on plastic

Nowhere is this more obvious than the screen,

4 gigabytes of RAM, as well as a one terabyte hard drive.

Definitely the slowest part is going to be the hard drive.

It's 2018, and you know, SSDs are a thing.

However, what really helps to save this laptop

than pretty much any other laptop in this price point.

Luckily, it's really easy to upgrade this guy.

Remove three screws on the bottom of the laptop.

You get access to not only your hard drive,

but also to your memory as well as to install a full M.2 SSD.

And it just so happens that I have an M.2 SSD right here.

For $45, you can get this ADATA 128 gig drive,

If you've never installed an M.2 drive before,

Remove this single screw from the bottom,

and then all we need to do is line it up with the slot,

Now while a 128-gig drive might not sound too impressive,

the idea here is that this is going to be enough

to install Windows as well as a few games and apps,

but you still have your full one terabyte hard drive,

over a terabyte of capacity inside the laptop,

I said the word drive a lot, but hopefully you get the idea.

Something else I was able to pick up for just over $40

Now this is okay as it is, but especially if

you want to get into anything like gaming,

for, like, you know, six or seven Chrome tabs,

You can literally do all this stuff in, like, 10 minutes.

And so, with that, we have eight gigabytes of RAM,

a 128-gig SSD, and an upgraded $440 laptop.

With these upgrades, we're ready for a bit of gaming,

we're actually getting solid frame rates,

so we're at anywhere between 50 to 80 frames per second.

Now, it's not going to be a perfect CS:GO experience,

but this is not a bad little gaming laptop.

we are getting between 30 to 40 frames per second.

Now don't get me wrong, this is not a gaming PC.

as long as you keep your expectations in check.

Some lighter titles are definitely going to be playable.

I've actually gotta say, I don't really ever play Fortnite,

I mean, yeah, we're getting 35, 40 frames per second here,

but on such a low-end laptop, it's not bad at all.

and here at 900p on Performance settings,

we're getting anywhere between 40 to 50 frames per second.

It's not bad, which I know I keep saying,

but when you consider just how cheap this laptop is,

I'm impressed at how much it doesn't suck.
