Acer Aspire 14 AI review: a good price can’t mask some real disappointments
May 1, 2025
“The Acer Aspire 14 AI suffers from a bad display and disappointing battery life.”
Pros
Attractive price
Good keyboard and touchpad
Reasonably solid build
Solid productivity performance
Cons
Inferior display
Disappointing battery life
Hinge way too tight
Laptops priced between $750 to $1,000 price range fall into a sort of gray area between true budget laptops and midrange machines. As such, there’s a great deal of inconsistency that you don’t find in laptops under $500 (typical compromises made to reach an affordable price) and over $1,000 (generally higher quality). The Acer Aspire 14 AI is one such laptop, and like some others, it’s a real mixed bag.
It’s reasonably priced laptop at $750 for a usable configuration, available from Costco only. But it cuts a corner in the display, something I’ve seen less often over the last couple of years, and it fails to leverage Intel’s Lunar Lake efficiency advantage. Those two flaws, more than anything, make that attractive price something of a tease.
