Acer Aspire 5 A515-45-R1YC Slim Laptop | 15.6 Full HD IPS | AMD Ryzen 5 5500U Hexa-Core Mobile Processor | 8GB DDR4 | 256GB NVMe SSD | WiFi 6 | Backlit KB | Windows 10 Home

Fair price for the value of the laptop

Had this laptop for about a month. It boots up very fast and runs my basic programs well. It only has 4GB RAM and I havent got around to upgrading it because I dont do gaming or watch videos. I have never used an AMD machine before, but the Ryzen 3 4300U is fast, quiet and efficient. Should have bought an AMD laptop or desktop much sooner.

I bought this for my wife to use and she really loves it. The keyboard lighting up is great, it has incredible picture quality, and is very easy to use. It does not have a DVD player but that is an almost useless feature today. I would recommend this unit to anyone who is looking for a good all around laptop for home use.

this was a great laptop to game on it runs games like valorant and grand theft auto very well, and is very good for listening to music and just doing work on it

Nice

The one I bought was from Amazon when they had it for $599, which at that time this computer was a steal. Its really rapid in terms of processing etc. The fan(Acer Brand) came on rarely, although I only had it for like 2 weeks. One thing I really loved about this computer is that its wireless card for Wifi/Bluetooth connectivity is 100% solid. And also unlike other computers that ive purchased in the same year, its extremely easy to add on different devices such as printers, or to broadcast to TV or to even add drivers. Never had such ease with any device in terms of connectivity as with this one. Being that its a 5500u, the U denotes low power version of the chip. The only area I find scary, because of a thing called CPU frequency scaling is when the chip is scaled to maximum frequency, which the housing may not be designed for. Personally I went for an H series chip, more power, and for me means housing built to take heavy loads. Its like having a V6 Camry, but driving like somebodys grandma, if you have no accidents the product is going to last alot longer. Also if you need the power, its there.

I bought it thinking that I would have to buy an HDD enclosure because of the comments I had read, where it said it did not come with the connector on the motherboard. I opened it just to verify this and was very surprised to see that it did come with this connector, so I was able to increase the internal storage. I assumed that in the new equipment the lack of the connector is corrected. I highly recommend this computer, it has a good processor and this type of SSD gives it a lot of speed. Im just waiting for a Ram that I bought to improve it, and that is the only annoyance I have, the 4gb of base ram that it brings are soldered to the board, so there is only one slot available to increase it.

was happy to get the laptop, but it turn to sadness very quickly, the company included the kit to install the extra hard drive but they forget to make a sata slot in the mother board.

Its good price.

First, Pros - boots up very fast, under a minute almost always. Light weight. Very good processing power. Im a mobile DJ and karaoke host. Bought this as a replacement for aging laptop and has been great in that role.
