Acer Aspire 5 A515-56-33C0 Slim Laptop | 15.6 Full HD IPS Display | 11th Gen Intel Core i3-1115G4 Processor | 4GB DDR4 |128GB NVMe SSD | WiFi 6 | Backlit Keyboard | Windows 11 Home in S Mode

All the latest technologies from intel in one unit. You will enjoy testing all the latest code in Windows 10/Ubuntu 21.04 dual boot system. Windows update will install the latest bios v1.08 and latest intel Xe drivers. Set admin bios password will allow disabling of secure boot for optimum dual boot with Linux. Also disable fast boot in bios and disable Hibernate in Windows.

There were some fan and screen issues until updates were done, which included BIOS updates. Once the updates were easily done then the laptop works like a charm. The extra RAM, I7 and IRIS video makes it pretty zippy. Used by college student.

The computer is very strong and comfortable to work with.

Nice laptop, like the back lite keyboard. quite and comfortable. fast response in most every way.No negitives from me.

My son got in a week time some issues, when pressing spacebar screen glidged ( see uploaded video) and a fully charged battery lasted maximum 5 hours.

I bought this seeking a laptop with relatively high-specs with regard to RAM & CPU but without a dedicated graphics card, as Im only interested in office work for this. Fantastic reviews had me hyped.

for my purposes like excel, word, browsing, social media, blogging, light photo-editing, and other non-intensive (non-gaming) activities, this laptop is great. its fast, 0 to 60 in 10 seconds (the fingerprint reader helps rather than using the password). its quiet; its replacing an old dell inspiron 15 which had become a constant whir of fan and hard drive so that the acer feels almost eerily quiet. i did due diligence and the big bang of cpu, graphics, fhd, ram, ssd, wifi 6, backlit kb, and fpr beats anything out there (theres an asus vivobook thats comparable for a little more and was the last competitor in the running). who knows what the build quality will give me for years of usage but if its half-decent, it shouldnt become obsolete in just a few. my only complaint as of now is the ever-so-slightly crooked full hd 1080 sticker on the left-bottom bezel of the screen, but im an ex-qc guy whose eye has been spoiled by too many close inspections. but if anything else wrong appears (knock wood), ill edit this review. UPDATE 9/27/21 So I have discovered a quirk which could possibly be a problem if allowed to be one. When the unit is in sleep mode while plugged in (charging), the fan will turn on and apparently stay on while charging. I didnt check to see how long. And Im not sure how hot the unit actually is. The laptop is fine when shut down and charging. It is also fine when on and in use while charging (in fact, the fan is never on for my particular usages except when first booting it up from shutdown). But if, for example, the unit is plugged in while in use, and I simply shut the cover, causing the unit to go into sleep mode, the fan will turn on. Its not a big deal to me. I still give it five stars. I have been able to adapt. But I thought it worth mentioning.

Ive had this machine about a month now and I really like it. I havent had an Acer machine in many years so I was somewhat hesitant but it is performing well so far. Boots super fast, love the backlit keyboard. Nice and light.

This expensive computer completely stopped working only 2 months after we received it! Amazon should not allow this company to sell through them. Do not buy!

Was thrilled when received, but within two weeks, my new Acer failed to boot. No damage, just stopped working. On line support excellent but ended up needing to send to Acer for service. Returned and working, but Ive lost confidence in this purchase. Time will tell.
