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

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 screen on this laptop is nice but it is kind of hard to open. It is hard to catch an the edge. When it is closed the edges are flush and it’s hard to get a finger in to open it. Not the end of the world, but kind of a pain when you are in a hurry. It is very light. The side is super thin which is great for taking back and forth to work. The screen though is an awesome size. The plastic does not feel cheap and does feel solid. The outside is aluminum so I feel like it should hold up.

This computer is a revelation. My older laptop was seven years old and quite slow. This ACER boots quickly and makes web surfing easier by an order of magnitude. It was easy to set up and the latest version of Microsoft 10 its loaded with is very easy to adjust to my personal preferences. Office is also easy to use. Web streaming is smooth and without the many hesitations and interruptions of my older slower machine.

Doesnt power on anymore after just using it for Less than 2 months. I am so upset about this!

For the money, I dont think you can find a better computer. My needs are basic--mostly net surfing and writing, with some video streaming thrown in. The computer is plenty fast enough for those needs. I dont know how good it would be for gaming or more complex applications--I suspect not very, but at the price, what do you want? So far it has proven quite durable--Im not easy on computers, and this one can take it.

I use it for my basic needs - ie. emails, FB, Twitter. I keep all my files on One Drive and Photos on Google.

great screen

This is a great computer. It has good battery life, screen is pretty clear, can run all basic functions and apps needed for a grad student. I dont play games on it so I cant tell you whether the computer lags when a large amount of memory is being used. However, what I can tell is that I am not a fan of this fan. This fan is so loud that I am embarrassed to have this laptop open in the library or in class. The fan isnt always loud but the moment you run a youtube video, a word doc, and a powerpoint, you get a recipe for the loudest fan in the world. Sometimes the fan only stays loud for a couple minutes but sometimes it stays on for the entire duration of use.

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.

Bought for my teenager. Great laptop for the money.
