Acer Aspire 5 A515-56-33C0 Slim Laptop | 15.6 Full HD IPS Display | 11th Gen Intel Core i3-1115G4 Processor | 4GB DDR4 |128GB NVMe SSD | WiFi 6 | Backlit Keyboard | Windows 11 Home in S Mode

There were some fan and screen issues until updates were done, which included BIOS updates. Once the updates were easily done then the laptop works like a charm. The extra RAM, I7 and IRIS video makes it pretty zippy. Used by college student.

I purchased this laptop to use for basic functions only. Microsoft Office, browsing, and Zoom calls. 4GB RAM is not sufficient for Windows 11 or these functions, but I knew that upon purchasing. I immediately added another 8GB RAM. However, there were still significant lag and audio issues. I made sure all the drivers and other updates were completed, but the sound would be distorted or not work at all sometimes while on Zoom calls. It could handle Office functions, but anything beyond that was a real struggle. I returned the laptop as it could not even handle these basic functions.

All the latest technologies from intel in one unit. You will enjoy testing all the latest code in Windows 10/Ubuntu 21.04 dual boot system. Windows update will install the latest bios v1.08 and latest intel Xe drivers. Set admin bios password will allow disabling of secure boot for optimum dual boot with Linux. Also disable fast boot in bios and disable Hibernate in Windows.

Poor quality basically compared to the 4 yr old laptop that Google said was to old to keep servicing.

Ive owned a number of Dell laptops and attempted my most recent upgrade with a Dell as well, ordering it directly from dell.com. But it arrived damaged and Dell refused to send a replacement in a timely manner, so I canceled the order, decided to look elsewhere, and ended up ordering this unit from Amazon. So far Im quite pleased with it. Seems to be equally good in every way to the Dells that Ive had in the past, but for slightly less money. My first laptop with fingerprint reader and Ill not go back to not having one - super convenient, and the reader on this unit seems to be quite responsive - the need for re-tries is rare. The verdict is still out regarding if this unit will hold up over time but it seems well-made and sturdy so my hopes are high. If it does hold up reasonably, Ill definitely look first to Acer for its ultimately replacement.

This expensive computer completely stopped working only 2 months after we received it! Amazon should not allow this company to sell through them. Do not buy!

Very happy with this laptop - especially the speed.

Purchased this upper end Acer laptop in July 2021 for our son to use his freshman year in college. He took excellent care of it, using a padded sleeve to carry it, and used it gently, but on April 22, 2022 it simply was dead when he opened it for class in the morning. Perfect timing for it to die with his last week of classes and final exams coming up. 9 months worth of use for this is just terrible service life for the cost. This was our 2nd Acer laptop purchased over the past couple of years (the other ones mousepad failed in a year), but I will be avoiding Acer products from now on. Highly disappointed.

Got the i7 1165G7 w/ Iris Xe / 16 GB / 500 GB model. $850. I run Windows 10 Enterprise on it and do only web browsing, video-calling and watching videos, and other basic computing -- no games, no intensive applications. Its a decent laptop and basically what I was looking for, but I really would have liked to see a longer battery life.

for my purposes like excel, word, browsing, social media, blogging, light photo-editing, and other non-intensive (non-gaming) activities, this laptop is great. its fast, 0 to 60 in 10 seconds (the fingerprint reader helps rather than using the password). its quiet; its replacing an old dell inspiron 15 which had become a constant whir of fan and hard drive so that the acer feels almost eerily quiet. i did due diligence and the big bang of cpu, graphics, fhd, ram, ssd, wifi 6, backlit kb, and fpr beats anything out there (theres an asus vivobook thats comparable for a little more and was the last competitor in the running). who knows what the build quality will give me for years of usage but if its half-decent, it shouldnt become obsolete in just a few. my only complaint as of now is the ever-so-slightly crooked full hd 1080 sticker on the left-bottom bezel of the screen, but im an ex-qc guy whose eye has been spoiled by too many close inspections. but if anything else wrong appears (knock wood), ill edit this review. UPDATE 9/27/21 So I have discovered a quirk which could possibly be a problem if allowed to be one. When the unit is in sleep mode while plugged in (charging), the fan will turn on and apparently stay on while charging. I didnt check to see how long. And Im not sure how hot the unit actually is. The laptop is fine when shut down and charging. It is also fine when on and in use while charging (in fact, the fan is never on for my particular usages except when first booting it up from shutdown). But if, for example, the unit is plugged in while in use, and I simply shut the cover, causing the unit to go into sleep mode, the fan will turn on. Its not a big deal to me. I still give it five stars. I have been able to adapt. But I thought it worth mentioning.
