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

This laptop has the perfect specs for school. I wanted a strong laptop processor from light programming that wouldnt break the bank. The screen is a beautiful IPS with minimal glare!

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

Works ok out of the box but really needs more RAM to really perform. Only has 1 extra memory slot, not 2 like everyone said in the questions. Planned on adding a 2.5in SSD for storage with the included caddy but, the motherboard was lacking the clip for the ribbon cable. Why include the caddy? So, if you buy the Ryzen 3 4000 series version, plan on upgrading the tiny 120gb NVME SSD or, deal with lugging around an external hard drive for all your files.

Its a good size, but still light. Nice metal feel to the surface. Fast enough for what I need.

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

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

I use this mainly for my church meetings, but will also use it for manuscript writing

I needed to replace my 5 year old laptop that eventually died on me and it took quite a while to find a replacement I would be comfortable with. This laptop met all my needs because of its decent size (but low weight), processing power (thats great for 90% of all needs beyond high-end gaming or CS projects), and still being a good price.

Could not log in after just a couple days. Returned for refund, bought an HP Envy at Costco.

I wish I could leave a good review as this is a really nice laptop for the price. The screen is clear and plenty bright. Its super fast to boot in to windows and load programs due to the m.2 ssd. But when I went to install a 2.5 inch ssd I ordered with the laptop I found that the connector the sata cable plugs in to on the motherboard is completely missing. You can see in the pic under the wifi card the contacts where the connector was supposed to be soldered. I tried to explain the issue to Acers tech support but they didnt understand the issue, only offering to send me the bracket that holds the ssd. This is quite a bummer because the whole reason I got this particular laptop is because the ram and storage were upgradable. Now Im stuck with 120gb of storage unless I want to switch to a larger m.2 and then have to re install windows and all of my programs.
