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

I had this laptop for 2 years and it doesnt turn on now-according to a tech its my hardware. I only use this laptop for school so it was being used on a semi regular basis. Because its over a year old it wasnt under warranty. Acer said they can fix it for almost $300+ dollars! I bought it for $400+ so obviously not worth it. Prior to this issue I liked Acer but now I think I will have to go with another brand.

Gave as a gift. I’m a big PC guy, and have spent my fair share of time messing with various computers over the last few years. This computer is a great value for what you get and works awesome. Girlfriend said “it feels like something from the future.”

Really good laptop for an affordable price

1st day. Setup was smooth and Win10 boots up nicely. Screen quality is also good and so the speakers. Not a gamer, so can not write a review for that. Will update the review as I use it.

Very pleased with the product

Screen quality is good but not great. It does handle all my tasks very quickly. Thought it would be touchscreen but it is not. I did not like that they advertised 9 hour battery life. So far just working on school work using Microsoft products I have gotten about 5 hours out of it.

I bought this for a teenager who would be taking online classes. It is quick and responsive and should stand the test of time. It wont play AAA title video games, but thats not what its for. I was surprised by how little bloatware came preinstalled. Nortons useless (and overpriced and bloated) AV comes preinstalled, but its easy to remove and replace with windows defender. Some might say the smaller NVME is too small, but for schoolwork and general usage, 256G is more than plenty and the performance is well worth the trade off. (Seriously, I cant believe new laptops are still being sold with 5400rpm spinning drives only.... cant believe people buy them either). If you actually need more space, the box actually includes the bracket and cable needed to add a larger sata HD, which is a nice touch imho, since those things can get hard to find once a laptop model is a few years out of style. All in all, this laptop is a solid workhorse so far and a great buy for the four hundred thirty-something I paid for it.

The one she got was working good but it got hot once she connected and external device to read the SD card. The one I got got very hot most of the time and it crash once. It also when black a couple of times so I sent that one back.

The only thing wrong with this computer is the heavy handed control from Microsoft .It constantly fights to keep you from using anything but Edge , Bing , and Norton . I had to have a computer expert help me get Google on and Norton off . Very frustrating . Otherwise love it !
