Acer Aspire E 11

Hello I am currently looking at this laptop. If I get it I plan to put in 8gigs of ram and a 128gb ssd.

The reasons for picking this laptop are form factor and price. With the two additions I expect to pay around $380.

The ssd and ram are a must have for me along with the quad core processor. I like that it is 11.6 inches but wouldn't mind going to 14 or 15.6.

Mostly it will be on the go programming, word, web browsing, and super light gaming. Thinking dota min settings 30fps is my target.

Can anyone suggest a similarly specced laptop for the price? Sorry for the bad formatting submitting from phone. Thank you.

What will you use it for?

As u/markeydarky2 said, it all depends upon what you plan to do with it.

I also am not 100% sure if it supports those upgrades.

I've double checked on the upgrades and those fit. Mostly it will be on the go programming, word, web browsing, and super light gaming. Thinking dota min settings 30fps is my target.

Eh. I would put gaming on the very bottom of the list; the Baytrail graphics is absolute crap. As you can see on the bottom of this page it runs Dota 2 on low everything at roughly 20-30FPS.

Yah I've heard that about the bay trail which is too bad, but it is the least important for this setup for me anyway. Mostly I'm looking to see if I missed any good comparisons. Not a fan of the hp. The lenovos are okay and the Asus doesn't have quite enough juice.

Could you link the specific laptop you are looking at?

I have this laptop, you can't install an ssd or hard drive In it, it can barely run 5 tabs so gaming at all would be very difficult

The newer versions are a bit better. They have a 2.5 inch slot and a better processor.

I brought mine last month, it has a 2.5" slot alright, no connectors, it's very good for programming / running an IDE

Hmm there is a newer version that comes pre installed with a 250gb HDD in the YouTube video of its disassembly it has a standard sata connection. I ended up buying it and will probably post s complete video of its upgrading process, since information is lacking on it.
