Acer Aspire 3 A315-58G-79TX Laptop – Silver

The Acer Aspire 3 A315-58G-79TX is a budget-tier 15.6-inch laptop with a dedicated NVIDIA GeForce MX350 GPU — delivering a hardware combination rarely available at this price point: 11th Generation Intel Core i7 processing power, a discrete 2GB GDDR5 graphics card, dual-storage (1TB HDD + 128GB SSD), and a Full HD IPS display. Supplied without an operating system (FreeDOS), the A315-58G-79TX is a practical choice for buyers who plan to install Windows independently or run Linux — maximising hardware value without the OS licence cost.

11TH GEN INTEL CORE i7-1165G7 — 4 CORES, UP TO 4.70GHz

The Intel Core i7-1165G7 is an 11th Generation Tiger Lake processor with 4 cores, 8 threads, 12MB Intel Smart Cache, and a 15W TDP — boosting up to 4.70GHz on a single core for demanding single-threaded workloads. Intel Iris Xe Graphics is integrated alongside the dedicated MX350, with the system switching between integrated and discrete GPU automatically based on workload via Nvidia Optimus technology — preserving battery life under light workloads while activating the MX350 for graphics-intensive tasks.

NVIDIA GeForce MX350 — 2GB GDDR5 DEDICATED GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce MX350 is a dedicated entry-level discrete GPU with 2GB GDDR5 VRAM — a significant capability step above integrated-only configurations at this price tier. The MX350 handles light gaming at 1080p (Minecraft, FIFA, GTA V at low-medium settings), accelerated video rendering in Adobe Premiere and DaVinci Resolve, GPU-accelerated photo editing, and display output tasks that exceed integrated graphics headroom. For buyers choosing between an integrated-only i7 laptop and the A315-58G with MX350 at comparable price, the discrete GPU provides measurable real-world performance uplift in creative and gaming workloads.

15.6" FHD IPS ANTI-GLARE DISPLAY — 1920×1080, 141 PPI

The 15.6-inch Full HD IPS panel delivers sharp, accurate visuals at 141 PPI with wide 170° viewing angles — maintaining consistent colour and contrast from off-axis positions that TN panels at this price tier cannot replicate. The anti-glare coating reduces reflections in bright indoor environments, and the 1920×1080 resolution provides a comfortable working canvas for document editing, web browsing, media consumption, and light creative work.

DUAL STORAGE — 128GB SSD + 1TB HDD

The A315-58G-79TX ships with a dual-storage configuration combining a 128GB M.2 SSD for OS and application installation with a 1TB HDD for high-capacity file, media, and project storage:

- 128GB SSD: fast boot drive — install the OS and primary applications here for NVMe/SATA-level load speed advantage over HDD-only systems

- 1TB HDD: 5400RPM mechanical drive for documents, photos, videos, downloads, and bulk file storage where access speed is less critical than raw capacity

The dual-storage setup delivers the responsiveness of SSD OS performance and the capacity of a 1TB hard drive in a single affordable system.

8GB DDR4 3200MHz — EVERYDAY MULTITASKING

8GB DDR4 3200MHz RAM handles standard everyday workloads — browser-based applications, Microsoft Office, video streaming, video calls, and light creative tasks — without bottlenecking the i7-1165G7 or MX350 under typical usage. Expandable via an available SO-DIMM slot for users who require additional capacity for heavier multitasking or gaming.

Wi-Fi ac) + BLUETOOTH

Intel Wi-Fi ac) delivers reliable dual-band wireless connectivity for web browsing, cloud-based applications, video calls, and streaming. Bluetooth connectivity supports wireless peripherals, headsets, and mobile device pairing.

COMPREHENSIVE CONNECTIVITY

- 1x USB 3.0 Type-A (5Gbps)

- 2x USB 2.0 Type-A

- 1x HDMI (external monitor output)

- 1x RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet

- 1x SD Card Reader

- 1x 3.5mm Combo Audio Jack

- Kensington Lock Slot

DOS — NO OS INCLUDED

The A315-58G-79TX ships with FreeDOS — no Windows licence is included. Buyers must supply their own Windows licence (Windows 10 or 11) or install a Linux distribution. This reduces the retail price versus Windows SKUs of equivalent hardware specification.
