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

So far so good. I switched it out of S-mode so I could download and install Google Chrome, Photoshop, and a few other applications. Basically,switching out of S-mode means you dont have to ONLY use Microsoft approved products, so it is a no-brainer. I plan to upgrade the memory in the future, but for now its great! Looks good, is very light, love the matte finish screen (not super glossy), and small thin border around the screen. Great product so far!

I bought it for a friend, she is in love with the laptop and quality.

Ive had this for two months after my MacBook Pro of 9 years died. I honestly ONLY ever use it for work as no longer need for school. I use it about 3 to 4 times a week when I work from home or abroad and I have no complaints. It works great!!! I have tried watching a show on it once when a flight got cancelled... the volume could be better as well as the brightness. When watching in the dark the lighting is fine... its just in daylight that it was just a bit off. Other than that I love how light in weight it is and the size of the screen is great! For the price this was a steal!!! Also I really like the keyboard its alot more comfortable to type and work on compared to the Macbook.

I purchased this as a replacement because my beloved Mac’s screen was shattered. Although some reviews said it was comparable- I disagree. The screen quality is great and overall works well- however it’s a bit heavier, is not as fast, and I just miss my Mac.

Initial Review Aug 1, 2019

This computer arrived on oct 23 a day before my birthday. The computer will not turn on anymore. It shut off right in the middle of me using excel and it hasn’t powered back on since.

Great laptop for the money.

Works great for my purpose. I needed a lightweight laptop really only to mess with firmware on embedded systems. Just for kicks I upgraded the ram to maximum 20gb, and swapped out the hard drive for a 512gb one. After upgrades still cheaper than other laptops with similar specs. Changed to linux mint which runs smoothly. Not a gaming computer, but a great, affordable, really lightweight multipurpose laptop.

I choose this computer over the Acer Aspire 5 with the AMD Ryzen 3 processor. Its faster and overall its an excellent computer that meets all my needs

Great budget laptop, with awesome price with lightning deal, added a 1TB drive & 16gb crucial memory for a total of 20gb
