Acer Aspire 5 Slim Laptop, 15.6 Full HD IPS Display, 8th Gen Intel Core i3-8145U, 4GB DDR4, 128GB PCIe Nvme SSD, Backlit Keyboard, Windows 10 in S Mode, A515-54-30BQ

My new Acer Aspire 5 arrived yesterday. I immediately added an extra 8G DDR4 Ram chip to it, for a total of 12G.; you simply unscrew the 10 tiny screws on the backplate with a small Phillips head; slip the backplate off and pop your new DDR4 chip into the little socket provided. Total time? About 12 minutes.

I had high hopes for this computer but find webpages VERY slow to load, IF they load at all!! Cant even load Amazon. I am writing this review from a old ASUS, and will choose that brand in the future.

I bought this laptop for my son, and it was the first time buying the Acer brand. I am extremely dissapointed with this laptop since it lasted only a month. I took it to the A/S center and found out that the mother board, and even the hard drive was damaged. Not buying acer ever again.

The person who I bought it for is happy with it.

Works very good (though i doubled the memory).

Great base computer (assuming you don’t do particularly cpu-intensive work) and easily upgrade able memory and storage. For $100 you can add a 1TB HDD to this and 8gigs of memory.

Do not buy this. It is a waste of money. Have sent it in once already. Got it back. Lasted about 3 Hours worth of screen time. Display does not work. Again. Now they want me to send it in AGAIN. I understand once. After that it should be replaced and not required for me to send it in. I was told they would send a shipping label for my trouble. Really? How about a lap top that did leave me hanging. I bought is specifically to travel for work because the ap I need doesn’t run in a Mac — a real computer.

Great laptop, works fine for daily use. Specs arent as great but for the price its perfect

great screen

Bought this for my 14 year old son, who is a content creator for YouTube. No complaints from him, he’s very happy with this. Great value
