Acer Aspire Go 15 AI
Why we picked this

Acer Aspire 16 AI
Why we picked this
Premium Pick: The largest display and faster processor make this the best choice for spreadsheet-heavy work, split-screen multitasking, and users who value workspace over portability. It offers more screen area than the other two picks while staying within the strict €450 ceiling.
