Acer Aspire 5 15 Slim Laptop | 15.6" FHD 1920x1080 IPS Touch | Intel Core i5-13420H | Intel UHD Graphics | 16GB LPDDR5 | 512GB Gen 4 SSD | Wi-Fi 6 | Backlit KB | Protective Sleeve| A515-58PT-50UJ

I am so happy with this laptop! It replaced my old Dell that was several years old and meant upgrading to Windows 11. So far, so good. Speed is amazing (16g of RAM) and the switch to Windows 11 was painless. The keyboard is sleek and the keys are well-sized. My only complaint is the number keypad is a bit smaller and my fingers have not adapted...that's a me problem. It has great ratings by CNET and other IT pros I know. Oh, it also connected itself to my Bluetooth printer without any help from me. Hooray! I use a wireless mouse because it's better for my hands, but the pad is generously sized and responsive. Battery life is very good screen quality is great, sharp and bright.

If you are looking for a chrome book this one is nice. The aluminum body gives it a nice quality feeling similar to a MacBook Air. It is slightly bigger with a nice 14 inch screen that is nicer than 13.3 on MacBook Air. I do miss the backlit keyboard. The keys are a bit soft, but still nice to use. The 4gb ram is nice and highly recommended . It is pretty fast at loading internet pages even when several are open. Streams nicely in HD quality. Wifi range is good. Classic printer set up is hard but that is chrome. Just remember this requires internet access to do most things. So if you mostly work offline you might not want a chrome book. I a geek and have avoided chrome books for this reason, but have been pleasantly surprised with this one. Definitely worth the money and works great for my child as her school is fully immersed in the Google class room. She says it is much better than the ones they have in school. She also says the 14 inch screen is much better for her writing assignments. Google now has an app store for chrome books and some apps let you do more offline. So it is also good to have the 32 MB storage.Only real cons on this one is no memory card reader, only 2 usb, and the charging port looks fragile, but with a 15 hour battery just charge it a bit before you lie in bed with it and you will be ok

This Acer Aspire 5 Laptop (16GB LPDDR5 RAM, 512 GB SSD, Touchscreen, Win 11 Home) is a good Laptop for the average to serious business user - it is fast, good graphics capabilities, lightweight, has all the key stuff that you expect and the Touchscreen is an added bonus .....However, a few 'cons' : My biggest grouse was with the contrast of the lettering on the keys, which was white on gray. With even the slightest light falling on it from the top or back of the laptop, the markings on the keys would be difficult to read. Lack of a USB C port was another 'con'. The relatively bulky power adapter was also not to my liking as this is not a wall mounted cube but a brick to be kept on the floor !Setting up the Laptop was easy and I could very quickly get everything set the way I wanted to.But, I had to return this unit as there was a very unusual jarring vibrating sound from inside the Laptop when I lifted it or sometimes even when just typing on it. Seemed to be coming from the CPU Fan inside. It was not continuous, just for a couple of seconds, but couldn't take a chance and hence returned it.

Arrived fast and in good condition.Regarding the laptop: So far, so good. The fan is obnoxiously loud, but the item arrived as described as far as I can tell.

The laptop was delivered on time and via Fedex where I live. It's a beautiful machine with a great display on it. It booted up fine and went through the Windows updates successfully. This is where the good parts ended and the trouble began.Problems:- The fan is very loud and constantly runs. On Windows 11 opening the file browser it turned the fan on, which is unnecessary.- The serial number is not recognized by Acer's site, you will get no updates and cannot download drivers as a result- The webcam does not exist, it physically is there but no connections to it- The number pad on the right the 3 will only do page down, it doesn't actually type 3- The laptop runs a bit sluggish though it should have plenty of powerI have returned this item as a result and will be looking for a different laptop.

I have owned my ACER Aspire 5 15 laptop for over a month and love it. No issues at all, it starts up quickly and runs smoothly. Windows 11 arrived with version 23H2 and it promptly updated itself to 24H2 without any drama. Battery life is fine for my uses and it will go 15 hours on a full charge with a balanced power profile. No doubt it would go longer with the maximum ECO settings. Note that if you need more than 2 USB ports this laptop might not be for you. I use a cordless mouse so one port is for the dongle but in my case I never need more than one USB port free for USB sticks or programming cables for other equipment. No regrets with this little ACER and everything runs fine with the I-5 processor and the 16G of memory. The 512G SSD gives me more space than I will ever use with this machine but it's nice to know that it's there. Highly recommended!

Nice laptop I bought for my wife. Touchscreen is very smooth. Operates well. Speaker sounds good for being a laptop. I haven’t put the battery to a real test as we have it plugged in most of the time.Overall been a good purchase for us.

I bought two of these now. I have bought value laptops in the past for people. Most of them there's a compromise. Surprisingly, I haven't figured out what the real compromise is. It's just a laptop that was easy to set up and works.
