Acer Aspire 5 A515-55T-53AP, 15.6 HD Touch Display, 10th Gen Intel Core i5-1035G1, 8GB DDR4, 256GB NVMe SSD, WiFi 6, HD Webcam, Backlit Keyboard, Windows 10 Home

Review is for a Acer Aspire 5 A515-55-56VK, replaces a horrible HP Pavillion 15-AW017CA from 4 years ago. I paid $775Can+tax for the Acer and $650Can+tax for the HP in 2017.

FALSELY advertised as having a backlit keyboard. Got a refund.

Good quality laptop for the price.

Excellent laptop. Very good value for money.

not as good as my last acer, no way this charger cord fits this connection, does not stay connected, usually find a dead laptop before you notice the cord slipped out again. and why would acer change this cord from last model I had, so I cant use it, what a waste.

So many problems with WiFi. Some of my software requires WiFi to confirm valid license each time I run software. Went thru disabling antivirus that came preloaded. Many hours trying to resolve on my own and with tech support. The touch fingerprint nice when it actually works which is about 1/3 of the time (I am only one using computer). Too bad the WiFi connection issue is a deal breaker because nice, lightweight, and seems to have great potential....but potential isn’t enough for a work laptop! It’s been 3 months and wished I had returned it within 30 day window.

I even called ACER. No backlit keyboard on this model. The model they suggested to try instead is a silver keyboard. But I wanted black with a backlit keyboard. I decided to keep this one as the characters are pretty bright white for my elderly mother. But I am very disappointed.

Nice entry level computer that does what I need it to do at home. I like the back lit keyboard. It processes graphics quite well, but Im not sure about its gaming capacity since I use it for mostly productivity items. A decent workhorse for the price.

This laptop was just what I wanted. My son helped my choose the right one. Being an older person, I dont know a lot about computers, but he knew what I do on a computer and decided this Acer would meet my needs. I have been very satisfied with it, meets my needs and Im sure more that I dont know about. Would recommend it highly.

Very annoyed that by default its on integrated graphic option which is 1080p but the touch variant is 720p. Will likely return as i assumed they were all 1080p. WHO MAKES A $600 720p computer in 2021?
