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

Got a bday gift for college aged daughter. She has had no complaints.

No joke, the fan on this thing is so loud it sounds like a jet engine just doing mundane tasks. And then it ramps up and its 10x worse! Between this and a dead pixel, I returned it the same day I got it.

I have owned laptops Before there were was even MS-DOS. Circa 1987 with a CPM/PC OS, 64 KiloBytes of total Memory, an OS ROM chip. Yes, that old.

Gift for grandson.

A great slim and light laptop at a great price. I use it as a desktop hooked up to a 28 monitor thru HDMI and a wireless keyboard and mouse, so I cant comment on the display, touchpad, or keyboard since I dont need or use them, but I can say it has plenty of ports including an ethernet jack and USB-C. It runs really well - very fast and stable, and nice and compact sitting on my desk. The 8th gen i3 is so much faster than the 1st gen i3 laptop it replaced when it died. I immediately switched the Win-10 S-mode to Win-10 home (very easy) and added another 4gb RAM stick for a total of 8gb, and added a 400gb data SSD. Both upgrades were super easy on this unit (search YouTube for how-to) and improved performance in photo editing and future-proofed it for years to come. Highly recommended.

Purchased this computer and thought Wow this is fantastic. Fast and crystal clear colorful screen. After spending time removing all the bloatwear, all of a sudden there was a grinding chopping noise. I thought that maybe I accidentally hit a button for a video to play on the internet. All programs were closed. I called Acer and held the phone up to the laptop so the tech could hear the sound. We laughed it sounded like a monster was eating a tree. I only had the computer two days. Acer said it was a hardware problem and to return the computer. Although I sent it back I’m considering ordering it again. Things happen and the customer service was great.

BUYERS BEWARE THIS IS A SCAM ,ONLY HALF YOUR MONEY BACK EVEN IF ITS NO WORKING,WE WILL BE TAKING THIS FURTHER WHEN WE GET ALL CLEAR FROM THE VIRUS.

Works very good (though i doubled the memory).

Initial Review Aug 1, 2019

I bought this for everyday home use and have been using it for about 3 weeks. This computer is fast, with a ten key number pad. (which I really like). Screen is bright and large. Very happy with this purchase.
