The tester finds the 13-inch format an ideal compromise of mobility and acceptable screen and keyboard size. At almost 20 mm, Acer's Aspire V3-372 is even approximately 2 mm thinner than the already slim V3-371 predecessor. However, its width, depth and weight have not changed. The casings of both generations look very similar. Acer again basically relies on black, high-quality looking plastic and a display back composed of aluminum. The latter once again exhibits the attractive design that Acer calls "elegant nano-imprint pattering."
