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

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

I was excited to upgrade this lptop but the power connector for 2.5 ssd is missing & the ssd screws were not packaged, they were loose in the box.

I bought the A515-45-R1YC version and it was a great purchase, I really like how comfortable the design is.

This laptop comes with an upgrade kit for an additional hard drive but the motherboard has no hard drive connector.

Good

Fair price for the value of the laptop

Its a good size, but still light. Nice metal feel to the surface. Fast enough for what I need.

When I read the specs for adding additional RAM, many sites, including the RAM manufacturer said this laptop has 2 banks and could hold 32G of RAM. That is not the case with this particular processor. It has only 1 bank to hold additional RAM. 4G is soldered on the board, so the maximum RAM you would have is 20G if you bought a 16G stick.

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.

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.
