The Aspire 1's speakers aren't particularly loud and could barely fill a medium-size conference room. That is slightly above my 119-wpm average and a tad better than my average error rate of 5 percent. In the typing test, I scored 121 words per minute with an accuracy rate of 96 percent. That said, the Aspire's keys are well-spaced, and a soft tactile bump rewards your fingers when a key press is registered. Also, an actuation force closer to 60 grams offers the right amount of pressure and isn't overly straining. We prefer at least 1.5mm of key travel, to prevent us from bottoming out or hitting the base of the laptop. With a 1.2-millimeter key travel and an actuation force of 78 grams, the Aspire 1 doesn't offer the breeziest typing experience. The keyboard on the Acer Aspire 1 offers good tactile feedback, but it's too stiff for long typing sessions. The Aspire 1's matte display does a good job softening reflections under bright conditions. However, laptops at this price typically have even dimmer displays, as seen on the HP Stream 14 (186 nits) and Dell Inspiron 15 (145 nits). The Aspire 1's maximum brightness of 206 nits is respectable, but this machine couldn't reach the budget laptop average (239 nits).
The HP Stream 14 (82 percent) and Dell Inspiron 15 3000's (73 percent) panels are even more vivid, and the Aspire falls well short of the budget-laptop average (87 percent). That's not colorful by most standards, but it's a strong result for a $250 laptop. The Acer Aspire 1 can reproduce 71 percent of the sRGB color gamut. Also, the display's viewing angles are woefully shallow, fading rapidly when viewed from a slight angle. But the colors weren't particularly vivid. The green and blue uniforms worn by the soldiers seemed the appropriate colors, and the explosions burst with shades of orange and yellow. When I watched a trailer for the upcoming film Hunter Killer, I could see the small details in the submarine set design.
