laptop Is the Acer Aspire 3 A315-41-R287 Worth it?

[Hideri]

I have some questions about this laptop. I'm really concerned if I'm overpaying this laptop or not, which in my country costs 27k PHP (roughly around 500 USD or more).

 

It has an AMD Ryzen 3 2200U APU (AMD Radeon RX Vega 3) clocked at 2.5ghz.

 

and my questions are as follows:

1. Can it handle 3D rendering (Blender & some AutoCAD)?

2. Can it game? (non-triple A games)

3. Is it good for back to school?

Thank you! (also I'm new here :D)

 

EDIT: I made a mistake, it was 2200U

1. No, it only has 2 cores. It's not for tasks like that but more for web browsing and productivity (like word, excel, that kind of thing).

2. Minecraft or Roblox, sure. But not anything demanding. Depends on the game.

3. Can't answer that as I'm not sure what you mean by that. If this is a discount offer at 500 bucks, then it's still on the expensive side.

God I overlooked the title....

Aspire 3 has mediocre build quality, mediocre display, mediocre battery life etc. Pretty much everything is mediocre and cheaped out. You get what you pay

 

For your budget I would suggest used business laptops

Maybe you're viewing the wrong laptop? I mean I saw benchmarks and it was fine...

Hello there!
Could you tell us the exact laptop you are talking about?

 

Can I link stuff outside the LTT forums? you can search that exact model I put on the title of the post.

I can't really rely on used business laptops, there are way too many scammers in my country. 

Also it's fine as long as I can use a laptop for school.
