Acer Aspire 5 A515-45-R1YC Slim Laptop | 15.6 Full HD IPS | AMD Ryzen 5 5500U Hexa-Core Mobile Processor | 8GB DDR4 | 256GB NVMe SSD | WiFi 6 | Backlit KB | Windows 10 Home

I purchased this laptop in Dec of 2020. It was kept in pristine temperature regulated conditions. By July 2021, the laptop would not turn on. This is way below acceptable life span. I also haven’t been able to get Acer to respond to the issue. I really regret this purchase and hope others are not victims of this poor product.

The power port stopped letting this laptop charge after less than 4 months. do not reccommend

This laptop is now running perfectly and set up to exactly to my taste. But getting there was not so easy. I detest WIN 11 and will stay away from it as long as I can. So I was disappointed when this laptop came with Windows 11 installed despite the fact the description said Windows 10 Home. And the Windows 11 installation was almost useless because the start menu did not work nor did run. Researching this on the internet I found out this was a fault in a beta version of Windows 11 that should never have been installed. Fortunately my old laptop was still mostly functional so I made a USB Windows 10 installation thumb drive and did a clean Windows 10 installation. One way to get rid of any pre-installed Acer crapware or, I guess, anything useful that Acer loaded, but I am not sure what that would be. This laptop is running very well now. I am ready to use it 8 seconds after hitting the power button which is nice. Getting it to this point was a bit more than I had bargained for. The speaker volume was feeble, like my previous Acer but I knew how to be able to turn the volume up by installing an equalizer utility.

I buy this laptop for my girlfriend. She is a python programmer and data scientist, what I like about this product is the following:

I was looking for a laptop that could work with Windows 11. Price was in my range. So far Im very happy with my purchase. I definitely had a list of specs. I wanted and this laptop meant my needs.

I bought this for my wife to use and she really loves it. The keyboard lighting up is great, it has incredible picture quality, and is very easy to use. It does not have a DVD player but that is an almost useless feature today. I would recommend this unit to anyone who is looking for a good all around laptop for home use.

was happy to get the laptop, but it turn to sadness very quickly, the company included the kit to install the extra hard drive but they forget to make a sata slot in the mother board.

I loved this pc right out to the box but wanted to wait about a year to give an honest review after really using. Prior to purchasing I consulted with an IT friend and had him look at the specs and he felt this was a good laptop for me so I purchased. A year later and I still love this pc. Its still performs just as quickly as when I first used and the battery life is great. Granted, this is not my main work pc, I use this for meetings and when I work from home so its not heavily used, no more than a few hours a day. After owning many laptops in the past, this is by far my favorite and I highly recommend!

I bought the A515-45-R1YC version and it was a great purchase, I really like how comfortable the design is.
