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

I bought it for school. Less than 6 MONTHS and issues with battery. It goes from 100% to 3% within 5 seconds and then shutdown. Closed background apps, updated, reset battery - didnt change anything. Even plugged in, there are pop-ups that the battery is low and shuts down. I will buy a new charger and battery and will update if that fixes the problem.

Nice computer but the audio output jack requires a reboot for the computer to recognize it and change from external to headphones. I had to return the computer. Other than that i loved it...but 560$ is too much for that kind of issue to deal with. I tried updating erything that could possibly update (bios too) but the issue remained..

I love love love this computer!

This laptop is beautiful, and it works very well! The size of the computer is big and very nice!!

Bought this to use as a everyday laptop for college. Its got very decent specs for the price which was the main reason I picked it, along with it featuring the new Ryzen 4000 series CPU. Its even sleek looking, thin, and has a sturdy build quality. The screen quality is also really nice. Easy to setup and use. However, as soon as I started using it for a few hours to watch movies, the screen started showing artifacts and became unresponsive. Next thing I know, theres a BSOD which repeatedly showed up even after resetting the laptop. Maybe I just got unlucky?

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.

I initially bought this PC to do school-related things like essays, PowerPoint, Excel, and so on. Although, I did not want to limit my PC to do just that and In case I wanted to game I felt that this could definitely meet my expectations.

Clear quiet and fast.

Well built. Fast processor. I love it.
