Acer Aspire 5 Slim Laptop, 15.6 Inches FHD IPS Display, 8th Gen Intel Core i5-8265U, 8GB DDR4, 256GB SSD, Fingerprint Reader, Windows 10 Home, A515-54-51DJ

It works as described. I love it.

good value for what you get. bought it for my teenage daughter and she has nothing but good things to say about it. makes excuses to do her homework just so she can use the computer. not the most powerful for gaming but great for everything else.

I like screen, Full HD. and soft keyboard

The fan noise on this laptop is so bad that when you first hear it youre going to think your next door neighboor is using a leaf blower outside. I DARE you to tell me im wrong. I have an Acer aspire E15 and an acer aspire 5 (5504) and the fan noise combined from those two laptops are less than 1/8th the loudness of this new laptop. IT IS TERRIBLE. Think you can live with that? Theres more: If youre a long time user of acer products youve become used to the 2nd function keys being assigned between the F3 to F9 keys and in blue. Thats GONE with this laptop. Heres the new configuration. F1 (previously f4) is the sleep function key, F2 (previously unassigned) is now airplane mode/wifi disable key, F3 and F4 (previously wifi and sleep respectively) are to adjust screen brightness, F8 (previously mute function key) has switched places with F9 now serving the keyboard backlight on/off function, F9 (previously keyboard backlighting function) is actually the mute function key. F10 and F11 (previously unassigned) are now the volume down and up function keys respectively. Just to add some additional frustration to the mix none of these keys are the second function anymore. So if youre used to hitting F5 to refresh browser windows or F3 to search now youll need to hit the Fn Key first as the media functions take precedence in this new keyboard layout. This can actually be changed by rebooting and pressing F2 to enter the bios settings before windows loads. Even if you change the F1 - F12 keys back to their original hierarchic order the arrow keys are no longer the keys to access brightness or volume control but instead are music media keys. Good luck with that confusion. This new laptop basically is an all out attack on keyboard shortcut users even the Home key is now a point of frustration since they removed the dedicated home key and youre only left with the numlock access only home key that shares functionality with the number 7 key on the keypad. I also had to finish install necessary driver level software like the acer quick access application because as this was not installed there was no way to know if num lock or capslock was engaged as there is no LED indicating the status of these keys. Even if you Update the bios to the latest firmware version like I did it still wont solve the problem of the USB 3.0 ports having slower read/write speeds than a typical USB 2.0 port.

I bought this to replace my older gateway laptop. Im not a gamer, so this is perfect for my needs. It comes on quickly and turns off just as fast. The screen is bright and sharp. Downloads quick, so no waiting as on my old laptop. And the price is within my budget. I like the keyboard layout, its like the one on my gateway. There is a ten key, which was on my list of option I was looking for. So yes, a great laptop for the price.

Just got this laptop 3 days ago, and has stayed close to me anywhere I am since then -- the long 3 weeks of waiting paid off. Its thin, its light, and its just doing a great a job at handling any task I throw at it. I didnt experience any issues reported by some of them here. I dont play games. I currently use this for work and for photo/video editing and so far, so good. This was my first purchase on Amazon and Im pretty sure I got the best deal!

So far so good. Will edit in a few months.

arrived quickly and exactly as advertised

Unit was receive with two scratches under the acer logo in aluminum vessel. Is minimal but bothersome other wise okay, purchase for work travel will update accordingly.
