The Aspire 16 from Acer is a great all-round laptop with plenty of performance.
With one of Intel's new Core 5 CPUs and 16GB of RAM, it has plenty of power to handle demanding tasks. Plus you get a huge 1TB SSD for all your documents, media and files.
The Aspire 16 also sports an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2050 graphics card, which allows you to take on more graphically-challenging workloads like photo or video editing – and even play games!
The Aspire 16 has the new Copilot key on the keyboard, giving you instant access to Microsoft's AI-powered assistant.
The 16” display features a WUXGA resolution of 1920x1200, so you get 10% more detail than a standard Full HD laptop.
Additionally, the screen features Acer's BlueLightShield technology which helps reduce eye strain and fatigue.
You get a complete array of connectivity options as standard with the Aspire 16. There's integrated Wi-Fi 6 for getting online, as well as a Thunderbolt4 port that supports data transfer, video output and charging via a single cable, plus two more USB ports and an HDMI connection for monitors or displays.
Thanks to the Aspire 16's powerful hardware, it's the perfect choice for anyone needs a laptop they can be productive with.

Have you ever thought of trading in your old smartphone?
Recycling your phone is a great way to help the environment and earn some extra money, and Clove Technology offers a recycling programme that pays you for your old phone(s)!
So if you're about to buy a new phone from us, or you've recently bought one, why not sell us the handset you no longer need?
How much will you offer for my phone?
That depends on its age and condition. More recent phones generally have a higher value than old ones, but other factors can affect value. These include if the phone is working or not and its network lock status. Fully working phones with an unlocked network status will command a higher value if they are in good condition.
We pledge to beat the major recycling services operating in the UK on the price they offer for your
How do I get my phone(s) back to you?
On our recycling site SEARCH, for your phone and provide details of its status and condition. We will then offer you a price for your phone. If you choose the option to Sell Now, a recycling pack to you for returning your phone.
Alternatively, you can call our recycling team on 0330 1180686, choosing option 2.
