Acer Aspire 5 Slim Laptop, 15.6 Full HD IPS Display, AMD Ryzen 5 3500U, Vega 8 Graphics, 8GB DDR4, 256GB SSD, Backlit Keyboard, Windows 10 Home, A515-43-R5RE, Silver

Im not generally a fan of tech because its so problematic. I bought this device after reading the reviews and after I bought a name brand laptop just 6 months ago that was really bad. Right out of the box this won me over and I never say this. So easy to set up, beautiful screen, nice keyboard, everything syncd well, no complaints at all. Really happy I bought this. I paid quite a bit more than the last laptop and worth it.

Very happy with the laptop and its performance, especially for the price.

I bought this computer for my daughter to do online school, and it has been extremely unreliable. First, the charger constantly disconnects and reconnects and now does not charge at all. This computer loses the internet connection several times during my daughters remote classes (it does not happen when she uses my computer). I called Acer customer service, and I have to send my daughters computer to Texas to get it fixed, which will take about three weeks. They pay for shipping but do not provide any boxes or packing materials. They make it as inconvenient as possible. I bought an Acer for my daughter because I have one (bought in 2016) and it has been a great computer. The quality of Acer computers has decreased drastically. SAD!!!! Last Acer I purchase.

Great laptop for the money

If youre gonna try to use this thing for college dont. The battery life is very underwhelming and only lasts 5 hours(As Specified). However I just dont see it being enough for an all day type of thing. If you are gonna buy something and need to use it all day ide suggest saving a lil more. Also the trackpad sometimes moves the pointer as I click which is annoying and palm rejection is pretty much not there.

Very happy with this product. Meets all my requirements and is very slim and lightweight.

Did some asking around and the Ryzen 5 is a great processor. if I needed more speed, I woud have opted for the 7. This does all that I need for basic home computing. Solid state drives are a hellofa lot faster! No issues. Screen and graphics are crystal clear. Not gaming on this, just normal stuff. Wanted the speed and memory just in case I needed it. Shit changes fast nowadays.

I bought ACER September so i have had it approximately 2.6 years and now the speakers are busted. Really thought the $600 ACER would last longer than it has. I would not recommend an ACER laptop to anyone.

Ive had it a little over 6 months and the screen casing is already falling apart at the joint where it opens and closes. I hope the screen isnt completely broken in another 6 months.

When I first opened the banged up box I expected to see a nicely wrapped computer and accessories. The cords looked as if they had been put back in the bags they came in and the bags they came in were crinkled and folded like they had been handled previously. The sleeve that protects the computer was not on the computer neatly folded it looked as if it was re wrapped sloppily and everything put back in the box messy. This makes me feel the box was open already. If it had just been opened for upgrading they did not take care in re packing the box. Some of the documentation wasn’t in its protective bag And it was all messy. No bubble wrap was used when shipping it which means the computer was banging around in the bigger box it came in. 600 is too much to pay to be concerned about it being broken and open before o even had a chance to use it myself. It is very lightweight and the graphics just look choppy (especially around the edges of the fonts, almost like pixilation was showing) The picture quality was disappointing (I have had computers since 1996 so have a lot to compare with. It just looked like some of the colours were missing. I played around with don’t and picture settings to see if I could change it yet I couldn’t. My older hp laptop I wanted to replace is much better than this one. It’s so light weight and plastic feeling (even the plug) it just felt as if it was a child’s toy. I still had hope because I didn’t want to return but within 5-10 minutes the fan came on really loud. Since I work online and in zoom, this would be very distracting and disruptive. I am going to pick a computer out in person now, so I can be sure of what I am getting or may just stick with hp. I had an acre way back when that didn’t last long yet I thought they may have improved by now. Someone else might not mind all those things yet from the time I saw the computer was packed with no protection bouncing around in a bigger box I thought it could have caused internal damage and I could never feel good about it. I need this for work but I have to return as I cannot afford to not be the best I can for work and this will not do the job.
