This is a large, purpose-driven laptop that's a bit of a throwback to a time long ago when we used low-density displays, optical media and VGA ports.
The Acer Aspire E 15 is a big laptop. There's no getting around that. It's big, and it's thick, and it's got a friggin' DVD writer inside. This, in a newish-laptop that you can purchase in 2018. Doesn't make sense, does it?
Well, it does if you've ever needed something that can easily connect to some sort of legacy projector. Or if you need to burn a DVD (kids, ask your parents). And if you need a big-*** battery. And if you need it in a single package for a price that doesn't exactly break the bank.
