The notebooks in Acer's Aspire E1-series have a reputation as inexpensive business notebooks. The direct predecessor of our review model is the Acer Aspire E1-571G, which came equipped with an Intel Ivy Bridge processor. The Aspire E1-572G, on the other hand, is an updated model and ships with a Haswell CPU. The missing "G" in the name of our review model indicates the lack of a dedicated GPU. While the E1-572G ships with a AMD Radeon HD 8750M, the Aspire E1-572 utilizes the integrated Intel HD Graphics 4400. The integrated graphics card supports DirectX and allows for occasional gaming. The E1-572 comes equipped with a current-generation Haswell Intel Core i3-4010U CPU. This ULV model consumes very little power and should therefore allow long battery life.

Since the chassis, ports, and input devices are identical to the "G" model, we'll start our review by taking a detailed look at the display.
