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

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.

This laptop is now running perfectly and set up to exactly to my taste. But getting there was not so easy. I detest WIN 11 and will stay away from it as long as I can. So I was disappointed when this laptop came with Windows 11 installed despite the fact the description said Windows 10 Home. And the Windows 11 installation was almost useless because the start menu did not work nor did run. Researching this on the internet I found out this was a fault in a beta version of Windows 11 that should never have been installed. Fortunately my old laptop was still mostly functional so I made a USB Windows 10 installation thumb drive and did a clean Windows 10 installation. One way to get rid of any pre-installed Acer crapware or, I guess, anything useful that Acer loaded, but I am not sure what that would be. This laptop is running very well now. I am ready to use it 8 seconds after hitting the power button which is nice. Getting it to this point was a bit more than I had bargained for. The speaker volume was feeble, like my previous Acer but I knew how to be able to turn the volume up by installing an equalizer utility.

Needed something for my 7 year old to play her Roblox and Minecraft games as well as do some recording for uploading to YouTube. This one has done a great job.

I was excited to upgrade this lptop but the power connector for 2.5 ssd is missing & the ssd screws were not packaged, they were loose in the box.

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.

Its good price.

Buen panel de pantalla 1080p brillo bueno, sobre todo el procesador para el precio una locura buenisimo graficos buenos para jugar tambien no lo mejor pero se juega en bajo o medio teclado iluminado la duracion de la bateria es de 5 horas la memoria ram corta pero se puede expandir en general todo perfecto color cromado de aluminio unas partes excellente tenia un i5 de tercera gen y este cambio a ryzen es bárbaro
