Acer Aspire 3 A315-24P-R7VH Slim Laptop | 15.6 Full HD IPS Display | AMD Ryzen 3 7320U Quad-Core Processor | AMD Radeon Graphics | 8GB LPDDR5 | 128GB NVMe SSD | Wi-Fi 6 | Windows 11 Home in S Mode

If you plan on using this for anything more than just browsing a few tabs, get some extra ram. It’s cheap enough and easy enough to install and you’ll be glad you did since 4gb is pretty pitiful. It has a nice screen and doesn’t feel as budget as many other laptops in this price range.

I needed a new laptop that could handle really basic tasks (word processing, internet use) and this one has been great so far. I definitely took it out of Windows S mode since that was so restrictive. Screen is really crisp, battery life is good, and its been really fast (startup, browsing, etc). Im very pleased with my purchase so far. Its probably not ideal if youre requiring a ton of storage or graphic speed, but its great for a basic, relatively no-frills machine.

Its good for school work

Very easy to set up this computer. Would love a little more storage on the hard drive itself. Very easy to use this computer

Absolute garbage

Unreal..hinge started to malfunction within 3 months and caused edge of screen to come apart. Acer told me the warranty didnt cover that. Really??????

I have been really delaying this review.

The Acer 5 slim is sleek, beautiful, durable, lightweight, lightning fast (when upgraded to 16gb of ram), and has a ridiculously low price tag. It probably wouldnt be of much use for gaming or CAD, but for basic web browsing, office use, and video streaming, it will do well. I have added some pictures next to a macbook air for size comparison. The screen is bright and beautiful, offering 1080p resolution. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the keyboard lights up! I plan to use this laptop mainly to stream business news, news tickers, and follow several stocks on multiple tabs. For this reason, I knew the RAM upgrade would be necessary. This PC would likely be quite slow if you chose to keep the 4GB of RAM, as 2GB is shared memory. I would recommend at the very least adding another 4GB stick, as there is a slot available and a 4GB stick is quite cheap. I decided to add a second hard drive as well, 128GB is not much, if I recall correctly, only 98GB was available, and that was before any Windows updates!

This is a great computer as many have said (sound sucks). Problem is with the windows 10 version. You can only install apps from the Microsoft store. Scam software if you ask me. Took it out of S mode and it became horribly slow, like I was being punished or something. I was able to upgrade for $35.00 and the computer is much faster.

We bought this computer for my daughter to do schoolwork on. We were afraid at first it would not be able to handle google ware as that what all her work has to be done on. It works like a charm! It is actually very fast! I would gladly buy another for this house
