Acer Aspire 5 A515-46-R3UB | 15.6 Full HD IPS Display | AMD Ryzen 3 3350U Quad-Core Mobile Processor | 4GB DDR4 | 128GB NVMe SSD | WiFi 6 | Backlit KB | FPR | Amazon Alexa | Windows 11 Home in S mode

windows 11 is awful

Loved the number of ports (should have had an SD card port) and the backlit KB.

Im an engineer who has been using company-provided laptops, bought to my spec, for many years. This time I was spending my own money, to buy one for my daughter for school, so I wanted a solid school-appropriate laptop that wasnt some crippleware nightmare. This really fits the bill.

I hesitated buying an Acer computer because it doesn’t have the greatest reputation. But, despite my hesitation and because of the Prime Day deal, I bought one. HUGE MISTAKE! I bought this computer to do school work only. So the only sites I have visited are my school website and a few others. I know quite a bit about IT and cybersecurity, so I’m not a computer idiot that will click on any random link or website. Despite this computer being just over a month in my possession, I get to look forward to pop ups every time I turn it on that are clearly malicious. I ended up having to by a security, malware scanning/removing program because the pop ups were BEYOND obnoxious. I’ll literally get upwards of 25 pop ups as soon as I start up the computer that clearly shouldn’t be there. My scanning program can’t get them to disappear permanently, so I have to scan this computer EVERY SINGLE TIME I TURN IT ON! I’m not joking when I say it’s like it was built into the computer - and supposedly this device was brand new. I’m questioning that now.

Nothing to dislike about this purchase. Works as advertised and price point is spot-on.

First of all, the delivery of the package was excellent, there was no problem, the product arrived intact.

I bought a new nvme drive for it and installed linux (ubuntu) on it. It works great for the little stuff I use it for. This is not a gaming machine. There is no dedicated graphics.

Its amazing value - didnt realize how much Id miss the touchscreen, but everything else is 5-star

Added a 16gb ram expansion alongside 1tb of ssd memory, and I gotta say Im in love.

New laptop for my son. Uses it for everyday stuff and streaming.
