256GB PCIe SSD
M.2 solid-state storage provides quick access to Windows, applications and personal files without the delays associated with a hard drive.
Wi-Fi 6 Connectivity
802.11ax wireless networking supports compatible modern routers, while Bluetooth 5.2 or later connects supported wireless accessories.
USB-C & HDMI
USB-C, USB-A and HDMI connections make it straightforward to add compatible storage, peripherals and an external display.
A Taller Display for Everyday Work
1920 × 1200 Resolution
The 14-inch display uses a 1920 × 1200 resolution rather than the conventional 1920 × 1080 format. Its 16:10 aspect ratio adds vertical pixels, allowing more rows of a spreadsheet, lines of a document or sections of a web page to remain visible.
IPS technology also provides wider viewing angles than basic TN panels, helping maintain a more consistent image when viewed off-centre.
Matte Acer ComfyView Finish
Acer's ComfyView treatment gives the screen a matte, anti-glare surface designed to reduce distracting reflections from windows and overhead lighting.
The panel operates at a standard 60Hz refresh rate and is specified with a 48.5% NTSC colour gamut, positioning it for productivity and everyday entertainment rather than colour-critical professional work.
Balanced Performance for Daily Computing
Eight-Core Intel Processing
The Intel Core 3 N355 provides eight processor cores and eight threads, giving the Aspire Lite 14 useful headroom for everyday productivity. It is well matched to office applications, web-based tools, email, streaming and online learning.
Integrated Intel Graphics handle display output and routine visual workloads without requiring a separate graphics processor.
LPDDR5 Memory and PCIe Storage
The supplied 8GB of LPDDR5 memory provides fast, power-conscious system memory for everyday multitasking. Acer specifies 8GB as the maximum supported system memory for this configuration.
A 256GB M.2 PCIe SSD provides local storage for Windows, applications, coursework and documents, with cloud or external storage useful for larger media collections.
Connections for a Flexible Workspace
Wireless and Wired Accessories Covered
