Acer Aspire 5 A515-45-R1YC Slim Laptop | 15.6 Full HD IPS | AMD Ryzen 5 5500U Hexa-Core Mobile Processor | 8GB DDR4 | 256GB NVMe SSD | WiFi 6 | Backlit KB | Windows 10 Home

I loved this pc right out to the box but wanted to wait about a year to give an honest review after really using. Prior to purchasing I consulted with an IT friend and had him look at the specs and he felt this was a good laptop for me so I purchased. A year later and I still love this pc. Its still performs just as quickly as when I first used and the battery life is great. Granted, this is not my main work pc, I use this for meetings and when I work from home so its not heavily used, no more than a few hours a day. After owning many laptops in the past, this is by far my favorite and I highly recommend!

The one I bought was from Amazon when they had it for $599, which at that time this computer was a steal. Its really rapid in terms of processing etc. The fan(Acer Brand) came on rarely, although I only had it for like 2 weeks. One thing I really loved about this computer is that its wireless card for Wifi/Bluetooth connectivity is 100% solid. And also unlike other computers that ive purchased in the same year, its extremely easy to add on different devices such as printers, or to broadcast to TV or to even add drivers. Never had such ease with any device in terms of connectivity as with this one. Being that its a 5500u, the U denotes low power version of the chip. The only area I find scary, because of a thing called CPU frequency scaling is when the chip is scaled to maximum frequency, which the housing may not be designed for. Personally I went for an H series chip, more power, and for me means housing built to take heavy loads. Its like having a V6 Camry, but driving like somebodys grandma, if you have no accidents the product is going to last alot longer. Also if you need the power, its there.

Excellent seller...product arrived safely, and on time...I LOVE this computer!

I originally found this when it was around $350, now its over $400. The model I received has 4GB RAM soldered on the motherboard with the ability to go to 32GB, but obviously with the soldered RAM, the highest I could get it to was 20GB, for an additional $60.

I bought this laptop 2 months ago for office work and I am very satisfied with the performance. It came with 4 gb ram and I have not upgraded it. It works well the that ram for what I have used it for, battery last a long time so far very happy with it, recommended 100%.

This laptop comes with an upgrade kit for an additional hard drive but the motherboard has no hard drive connector. Cheap pos don’t buy only 128gb non upgradable.

I bought this laptop to replace another Acer 3 1/2 year-old laptop. I goofed as I didnt realize the hard drive in this laptop is not big enough for my needs. So I thought, no problem, as this laptop is supposed to be set up to take a second drive. It even comes with brackets to do that. I took the laptop to have a second drive installed and turns out the cable inside the laptop necessary to do that is missing. So now I am paying to have the hard drive replaced and the operating system reinstalled. I purchased this laptop because it could be upgraded. So much for that. Very disappointed and will not buy an Acer again.

I bought the A515-45-R1YC version and it was a great purchase, I really like how comfortable the design is.

me gusta el equipo para tareas basicas, lo que no tiene ningun sentido es que la caja traiga el adaptador para conectar un disco de 2.5 extra pero que la placa no traiga el conector respectivo para ser agregado, sinceramente no tiene sentido, nose si mi modelo será defectuoso o todas las placas vienen sin el conector para el flex del disco extra.

I am very impressed with the quality of the screen. Skin tones are wonderful Color is clear and crisp. I am very happy with the light up keyboard. Speed is so much faster than my old computer. I upgraded to Windows 11 and like it so far. I do a lot of viewing video casts and it is very nice for that.
