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

Update #2: The speakers sucked to begin with, but now they are going out completely. Had this laptop less than a year.

I bought this intending to upgrade with a 1 TB SSD and bought a 16 GB RAM stick. (BTW I bought the wrong kind the first time so make sure you get the SODIMM version) Anyway, the biggest problem I have with this computer is that there are TOO MANY conflicting reports on things. If you just look at how many slots there are for RAM youll get 2 different answers. This is not acceptable for people who are expecting to know what theyre getting. For the record, there is 1 RAM slot with 1 8 GB stick. If you buy a 16 GB stick to replace it, max youre getting RAM wise is 16 GB, not 20 as advertised since there is only 1 slot. Computer seems to work fine. It doesnt read the SSD after installation if its not formatted. If you got a SAMSUNG SSD like I did, youll need to get a separate 3rd party app to read it. Theres just a lot of random things upon starting that is annoying me, but overall the computer works and seems to be taking my upgrades. One other thing Im not fond of is that the screen is hard to open. Theres not a good hold to be able to open the laptop screen when its down. Ive never had this problem with any of the other computers Ive had. Just this one. The reason why seems to be that the lid/screen portion of the laptop tapers in and is thin. It would be hard to open if I didnt have nails to grab a ledge of the screen to pull up.

We love this laptop! I only have 1 small issue and that’s that the speakers aren’t very loud.

Got my laptop today...the packaging was great and neatly done. The laptop has a sleek look, its fairly lightweight,I bought the laptop to do light work like my online degree, wide documents and basically online shopping.. havent really put it to the test yet but just by setting it up like putting in passwords and so forth its fast...so Ill leave another update later on...but so far Im happy with my purchase

Super fast! 1080 HD screen is a game changer.

Screen appears to have burned out before setup was even done problem was solved needed to reset computer took 20 minutes on Amazon help to make work

This is a great computer to use. I was planning to get another one. Then 13 months after purchase, the charging/AC port quit working. Took it to a local excellent repair shop and found out that this port is not available anymore to replace the old one. One cannot use a computer that cant be turned on. This is ridiculous after only 13 months. I was waiting to finalize this review depending on the Acer support store, however, although they gave me a case number, they never called back to solve the problem. I was willing to send this out to them for repair, but cannot get an answer. TWill not buy another Acer.

Absolutely the Worst, I brought this for gaming and only to say I can only play Fortnite. Complete garbage

I had to return it to acer after 6 months screen stopped working. 8 months later took it to a local repair shop the screen stopped working. Now it shuts down all by its self and if I tap on the screen it comes back on. Going back to HP.

Works very well. Upgraded to 20gb Ram. Runs smooth. The lip is kind of annoying to open. The only design flaw I could noticeably spot. Turns on fast.
