Is it as reliable as The Captain himself?
ACER just released three Avengers-themed laptops in time for Avengers: Infinity War, and the Aspire 6 is one of the three that received the special edition treatment. Designed to be fit for The First Avenger, the Aspire 6 is decked in Captain America’s trademark navy blue and silver colors, alongside detailing that’ll remind you of The Captain himself.
Armed with an 8th-generation Intel i5 Processor, 4GB RAM, NVIDIA MX150 Discrete GPU, and a 1TB HDD, the Aspire 6 Captain America edition aims to be a reliable workhorse. Does it live up to its name?

Flashy-yet-premium looks
Staying true to Captain America’s uniform, you get a premium treatment with the Aspire 6 Captain America edition. You get a navy blue brushed aluminum with The Captain’s star logo in silver for the top lid, and a navy blue brushed aluminum top case with a superimposed Avengers logo on the top case’s right side. Both parts are not fingerprint or smudge magnets, giving it plus points for avid Captain America fans who want to keep this laptop as clean as possible.
What’s nice about its design is that it balances between being a premium laptop and a collectible gadget made with avid Marvel fans in mind. Opening the laptop can be done using one hand, and its hinge is sturdy enough that the display has very little flex.
The Aspire 6 Captain America edition comes with a good number of ports, which include a full-size HDMI port, USB Type-C, USB 3.0, two USB 2.0, Ethernet port, and a combo headset jack. Given its premium price, it would have been better if the Aspire 6 Captain America edition came with two USB 3.0 ports, especially since the lone USB 3.0 port doubles as an always-on charging port.
