Acer Aspire 5 Slim Laptop, 15.6 Full HD IPS Display, 8th Gen Intel Core i3-8145U, 4GB DDR4, 128GB PCIe Nvme SSD, Backlit Keyboard, Windows 10 in S Mode, A515-54-30BQ

Ive been using the predecessor to this model, the Acer Aspire E5-575-33BM, for well over a year now and it has served me well. The 1 TB HDD that it came with was terrible, but after an easy upgrade that laptop has been quick and reliable.

I use it for my basic needs - ie. emails, FB, Twitter. I keep all my files on One Drive and Photos on Google.

Works great as far as I can tell so far

Terrible product service. Trackpad stopped working after 3 weeks

Bought for my 10 yr old for school. I wish now Id had enough to buy 2 or 3. Lasts almost all day of online school. Boots up OMG quickly compared to my several year old Lenovo. Easy enough to opt out of Windows 10S. I did add a 1TB storage drive &16 GB RAM to increase it to a total of 20 GB. The only drawback I have is the screen portion is recessed when closed so you need to use like a thumbnail to open it or at least I do.

Best computer I have owned

The Acer Aspire 5 Slim Laptop is aimed at the casual user / student who needs a little bit more power than the average tablet or bare bones, internet only laptop.

Great

I like the screen resolution of this laptop full hd 1080p. The wifi and the Intel cpu are fast. The computer is easy to upgrade the memory. I did not like the keyboard and the trackpad. I had issues with the keyboard lights not turning on and the touchpad became unresponsive a few times. I choose to return the laptop to Amazon because of the issue with the keyboard and the touchpad. I received full refund from Amazon.com. Thank you.

Im two days in and am becoming slightly frustrated. I like the PC, it was initially fast, but after a few software updates its lagging terribly and the mousepad is intermittently cutting out now requiring to be switched off and then on again to begin working (probably a software issue). However, the main hardware issue is battery life. It is not working so well with mixed usage and so, realistically, with screen brightness significantly down, if you stream, read articles and write a bit, consider six hours give or take a realistic look. Otherwise, love the screen (my first 1080p one), keyboard is enjoyable and, other than the fan regularly switching on for me and dip in performance the last few hours, the thing is pretty fast.
