Expert Reviews For MSI ALPHA 15:

By TomsHardware
The MSI Alpha 15 features AMD’s 7nm technology, but the performance is middling. It makes up for that with a bright display and a tactile keyboard.

By UltraBookReview
The overall value of this MSI Alpha 15 AMD configuration remains to be determined in a future review, though, but potential buyers should know that $1099 and even less can actually get them Core i5 and even i7 gaming-laptops with 1660Ti graphics these days, so the big question is how will the RX 5500M fair against the 1660Ti, and not against the 1650, as suggested in AMD’s presentation.

By Pokde.net
AMD’s first mobile GPU in years seems like a rather compelling offering, and especially more so when put into the likes of the MSI Alpha 15. It offers the latest of AMD’s features including a 144 Hz FreeSync display, promising great value for gamers who don’t need insanely high graphics to enjoy games. Is there more to it though?

All-rounder with flaws. Acer’s 15.6-inch multimedia notebook is an all-rounder with very decent hardware that can handle all modern games at 1080p. Despite its price tag of 1200 Euros (~$1374), the device is not free from flaws.

By ultrabookreview.com
It’s well built and gets simple looks that make it a good option for all sorts of environments, including schools and strict work places. It gets a decent keyboard, trackpad and screen, powerful hardware and the performance that allows it to handle daily chores at ease, but also more demanding software and gaming at FHD resolutions.

By laptopmedia.com
The 15-inch Aspire 7 appears to offer pretty much the same user experience as its bigger 17-inch sibling with one notable difference – the screen. Surely, the IPS panel here is greatly appreciated but compared to the 17-inch IPS display, this one is quite disappointing. It lacks half of the sRGB color gamut and its maximum brightness isn’t enough for comfortable outdoor use, for example.

By NotebookCheck
The Acer Aspire 7 A715 is a multimedia laptop with a good system performance to master daily tasks. In addition, the device is suitable as an affordable gaming laptop, since the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 has sufficient reserves. The combination of SSD and conventional hard drive also makes sense, combining speed and a lot of storage space.

By Techzilla
Il portatile in recensione è Aspire 7, che risulta uno dei più completi, viene proposto a circa 1400 euro in linea con i notebook dello stesso segmento. Su internet si riesce spesso a trovare qualche buona offerta, ad esempio al momento questo notebook è possibile trovarlo in promozione.
