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

Used this as a public computer in our clubhouse. Was limited to $500 on purchase so had to kick in a little on my own. Already had one bought earlier this year that has worked quite well for us.

Horrible laptop. I will never by acer again and Amazon is on probation because they should have better checks on what they promote. This lap has multiple issues volume, finger print reader, build. I live in the Caribbean and i bought this laptop for my daughter for online school. I had to get external speakers for her! Because of where I live it just so much of a hassle to ship this lap top back SO WILL HAVE TO ENDURE THIS THING. Some people say cheap thing not good and good thing not cheap.

Fair price for the value of the laptop

This is for A515-44-R93G - Ryzen 3 4300U, 4gb RAM, 128gb NVMe SSD.

I am very impressed with the quality of the screen. Skin tones are wonderful Color is clear and crisp. I am very happy with the light up keyboard. Speed is so much faster than my old computer. I upgraded to Windows 11 and like it so far. I do a lot of viewing video casts and it is very nice for that.

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 bought it thinking that I would have to buy an HDD enclosure because of the comments I had read, where it said it did not come with the connector on the motherboard. I opened it just to verify this and was very surprised to see that it did come with this connector, so I was able to increase the internal storage. I assumed that in the new equipment the lack of the connector is corrected. I highly recommend this computer, it has a good processor and this type of SSD gives it a lot of speed. Im just waiting for a Ram that I bought to improve it, and that is the only annoyance I have, the 4gb of base ram that it brings are soldered to the board, so there is only one slot available to increase it.

I was hoping to use the ram and hard drive from my laptop that just died, I was able to install a stick of ram giving me a total of 20 gigs. I was pleased to see that a hard drive caddy was included in the box, along with hardware and wire for installing a hard drive, but once I had everything in place, where the hard drive is plugged into the motherboard, theres no plug, just solder marks where it should be. The 4300 model doesnt have this aparently, but the higher end ones do. I am upset because the page says that a second hard drive can be attached, this is a problem with amazon listing 3 similar products on the same page and just trusting the seller, but Im also upset with Acer, why in the world is all this extra hardware included in the box if I cant use it?! Im past the return date, and to be honest there isnt another pc in this price range that performs as well, so Ill drag an external drive with me. Over all I am pleased with the pc, screen is kinda dim, when on battery its even dimmer even when pumped to max brightness. Plays a lot of games pretty well, older games she handles like a champ, modern games turned down to medium or low yields playable 30-40 fps. I just wish I could install my hard-drive internally.

I was excited to upgrade this lptop but the power connector for 2.5 ssd is missing & the ssd screws were not packaged, they were loose in the box.

Do not waste your money. The machine itself is good. Good colors, slim poratable feel, well made.
