As we noted in our original coverage of the Acer Aspire Go 15 , the keyboard sports a Copilot+ key even though representatives have confirmed this device does not meet that standard due to its 8 GB of memory (16 GB is required). The Go 15 has a full-sized keyboard replete with a slim numpad, which I consider a big plus.

We also see three exhaust ports on the base of the machine facing toward the screen.
Acer hasn't shared pricing yet, but we certainly expect this system to land in the "and up" part of the expected Snapdragon C Platform's "$300 and up" target market.
