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

As a student on a tight budget, this laptop did more than enough in providing me with my basic needs, all at an extremely affordable price. The screen quality and chassis is great for the price point and the device did a good job for some light gaming. The weight of the laptop is decently light and it shouldnt be a problem for travel. Battery life also deserves a mention as it lasts for hours just like Acer has promised. Overall, this laptop does the job and is worth picking up if you dont want to spend over 1000$ on other alternatives

When I read the specs for adding additional RAM, many sites, including the RAM manufacturer said this laptop has 2 banks and could hold 32G of RAM. That is not the case with this particular processor. It has only 1 bank to hold additional RAM. 4G is soldered on the board, so the maximum RAM you would have is 20G if you bought a 16G stick.

was happy to get the laptop, but it turn to sadness very quickly, the company included the kit to install the extra hard drive but they forget to make a sata slot in the mother board.

First, Pros - boots up very fast, under a minute almost always. Light weight. Very good processing power. Im a mobile DJ and karaoke host. Bought this as a replacement for aging laptop and has been great in that role.

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 the equipment very recently, I uncapped it to fit an extra SATA SSD and I find that it does not have the slot to put the bus. What I can do? Ref: A515-44-R93G. Otherwise the equipment is excellent, fast, light, good design. Just for the detail of the SATA I give it 3 stars.

es una laptop para universitarios o de uso de hogar, tambien sirve para juegos casuales como league of leguends a buena resolucion y buenos fps, se siente muy premium y es muy bonita. la tengo desde hace dos dias, los 4gb de ram se quedan muy corto para el uso que le doy, ya ordene una ram de 8gb acer para hacer la ampliacion, actualizare mi review en unos dias luego de instalar la ram.

Used this as a public computer in our clubhouse. Was limited to $500 on purchase so had to kick in a little on my own. Already had one bought earlier this year that has worked quite well for us.

Its a good size, but still light. Nice metal feel to the surface. Fast enough for what I need.

I bought it thinking that I would have to buy an HDD enclosure because of the comments I had read, where it said it did not come with the connector on the motherboard. I opened it just to verify this and was very surprised to see that it did come with this connector, so I was able to increase the internal storage. I assumed that in the new equipment the lack of the connector is corrected. I highly recommend this computer, it has a good processor and this type of SSD gives it a lot of speed. Im just waiting for a Ram that I bought to improve it, and that is the only annoyance I have, the 4gb of base ram that it brings are soldered to the board, so there is only one slot available to increase it.
