Acer opened pre-orders for its new Aspire Go 15 laptop on UK Amazon in August 2026, with the device powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon C processor and priced at GBP 499. The Apple MacBook Neo retails at GBP 699 in the UK, making the Aspire Go 15 substantially cheaper. To achieve the lower pricing, Acer has adjusted hardware specifications, cutting storage to 128GB, half of the competing model's capacity. The company has not yet confirmed whether the storage is soldered-down eMMC or an upgradeable NVMe solid-state drive.
The processor is an 8-core Snapdragon C chip, whose CPU cores are overclocked versions of cores from the older mid-range Kryo 670 platform, sufficient for everyday basic tasks. Other specifications include a 15.6-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1920 by 1080 in a 16:9 aspect ratio. The chassis carries a full-size keyboard, two USB-C ports, one USB-A port, and one HDMI 1.4 port, with Wi-Fi 6E support, a built-in 1080p camera, and dual speakers.
Battery capacity is rated at 53WHr, though the company has not released specific battery life figures. The device is currently in the pre-order stage, with reservation details publicised through Amazon.
