Acer Aspire 5 A515-46-R14K Slim Laptop | 15.6 Full HD IPS | AMD Ryzen 3 3350U Quad-Core Mobile Processor | 4GB DDR4 | 128GB NVMe SSD | WiFi 6 | Backlit KB | Amazon Alexa | Windows 10 Home (S mode)

Bought my wife an Aspire 5 a year and a half

I have an old 11 year old ACER that needed replacement as I was no longer happy with. As soon as I turned this on I realized just how much different the new one was from my old laptop. The screen quality is amazing. The quick boot-up time really surprised me. The wifi was quick. I was blown away. I quickly ordered additional RAM and an SSD drive to upgrade the laptop, not that it needed it but because I could do so easily. And yes I did remove Windows 10S so I could load more than what was available at the MS store. I use Thunderbird for email and 10S wouldnt let me load it. It was very easy to switch away from 10S so dont let that intimidate you.

The laptop is probably good; however, we can not get it up and running. I have talked with Microsoft, people at Amazon and several other people. I am at my wits end and havent touched the computer in I do not know how long. I would love to have someone help me get it up and going, but I do not know who. These people that work from home either have to hang up because a child needs attention or some other problem. Mean time the computer I have paid for sits on a counter.

The storage is only 128 gb. It has a space to add a drive to it, but when I tried to add a drive to it , it was missing the necessary cable, adapter , and drive holder. The unit I received was NOT upgradable.

Great laptop for the price, battery last long and it can handle multiple applications open at once

Constantly beeps as charging also, its hard to get the charger to actually connect. I literally need to keep positioning it until I see it charging and the I have to watch it before I walk away to make sure it stays connected. Other than that, its ok. If I had to use it more often, Id be really mad.

I only use this to read or watch material online and write Word or Excel documents. It works very well for what I need. I enjoy the added features such as the fingerprint scanner and backlit keyboard for dark settings. The keys are quiet enough to not disturb anyone during class. The image quality on this is fairly good and the battery surprisingly gets close to lasting the advertised time.

Windows 10 S limits ability to download non-Microsoft apps. Virtual meetings don’t work. Fingerprint ID is sporadic and doesn’t always work. Small issues to some but takes more time to accomplish work tasks. Great for email and web browsing but not good for work.

What a cool laptop. Got it today and I set up in about 30 minutes. Very nice. Well done, Acer. I hope it lasts, this is my second Acer. My first notebook lasted years. (10years) This one is really nice. I wanted the Chrome one, but decided on this one and I made the right choice. Yay, me.

Laptop works great and arrived on time
