For general use, the Acer Aspire Go 15 is a solid choice with its budget-friendly price, adequate performance, and good battery life, making it suitable for everyday tasks like web browsing and office applications. However, if you need a laptop for more demanding tasks like gaming, 3D rendering, or machine learning, the Eluktronics RP-15 is the better option. It offers superior performance with its powerful AMD Ryzen processor and Nvidia RTX 4060 graphics card, which also supports hardware ray tracing and DLSS for an enhanced gaming experience. The Eluktronics also has a higher resolution display with better color accuracy, which is beneficial for detailed visual work, though it comes at a higher price point and slightly reduced battery life compared to the Acer. Portability-wise, the Acer is lighter and thinner, making it easier to carry around, whereas the Eluktronics, while still portable, is designed with performance in mind and may run warmer under heavy loads.

Hardware Canucks

Eber Anthony | October 2020
"To conclude, I’m genuinely impressed with Eluktronics and what they have been able to deliver with the RP-15. You see this is all about maximizing performance, cooling, and giving users the most flexible I/O, and then wrapping it into a chassis that doesn’t feel super cheap. Let’s also not forget the price point, I think they have really nailed it in that department."
