Acer Aspire 5 Slim Laptop 15.6 IPS FHD 2023, AMD Ryzen 5 5500U 6 core (Beat i7-1160G7, up to 4.0GHz), 24GB RAM 1TB PCIe SSD, Backlit KB, WiFi 6, HDMI, Win 11 w/GM Accessories

Just received Acer Aspire 5 laptop that I purchased for my wifes birthday. I plugged it in for a charge and began the setup process (terrible on screen instructions). Called Acer customer support and after 2 false starts: 1st didnt have wifes phone to use as she was out, and during my second call to support, Robert hung up on me; I got through to support person on the third try. Hector, who guided me through the set up process over more than 1 hour was terrific! I am 74 years old and computer literate, but the Acer set up process screens were not intuitive. For example one drop down menu required clicking on a check mark after selecting month, day, and year, and then clicking on NEXT, while another just required clicking on NEXT. Voice assistant, Cortana, offered her robotic advice, but was not available for questions and there was no help button. Anyway, Hector helped walk me through the set up process, and I was very appreciative. If this is any indication of the level of support we can expect from Acer, my wife and I will be very happy with our purchase.

When you buy a computer do you think about inspecting the keyboard? Arent all keyboards universal? Dont you have an expectation of what you will get when you order a full sized keyboard? Well, give that thought up. The keyboard is close and crowded. The number pad is 1/3 the size it should be. I mean tiny!! The decimal key has been replaced by and enter key and the decimal is now in the bottom center of the keypad. Ever seen that? Every number pad operator in the world knows the pinky pushes the decimal. Not on this one!! Also, they removed the home key which I use all the time in Excel. To get HOME you have to turn off the number lock, hit the 7 key then turn the number pad back on to continue entering #s. Yep, that is not a full size standard keyboard at all and they dont care. The response from the seller was look at the picture. I cant return it and I cant live with this for the next 3-4 years. This was my 3rd and my last acer.

Wish it had a touch screen like my last one did... other than that, am very pleased.

There are a couple of bad reviews for this laptop that I just dont understand, a couple say they couldnt get it out of S mode. First I really dont see a need for S mode and there should be an option to purchase it without S mode, but I had no trouble removing S mode at all.

This thing is great for playing games, nothing to heavy like call of duty but other games like Fortnite, 7 days to die, and things like that

Personal information

Aw man! I put so much effort into researching this purchase. It gets here. I take it out of the box, plug in the power cord and what!? The thing didnt connect securely. What a disappointment. So I repackaged it and shipped it back. That was 5 days ago. Still awaiting my refund.

Everything seemed okay. Nothing that really bums me out comes to mind.

I only have it for a day now but Im a heavy Laptop user and it has been a great experience so far. I would note that the touchpad is too far to the left and me being right handed it is a bit difficult
