Acer Aspire 5 A515-46-R14K Slim Laptop | 15.6 Full HD IPS | AMD Ryzen 3 3350U Quad-Core Mobile Processor | 4GB DDR4 | 128GB NVMe SSD | WiFi 6 | Backlit KB | Amazon Alexa | Windows 10 Home (S mode)

As-Is, this Aspire Model is a bit underpowered. 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage is not good for much more than accessing web productivity apps like Google Docs/Sheets. If you spend a little extra to upgrade the RAM and add a 2.5 SSD, this becomes a decent, albeit low-end, homework machine, and a reasonable value depending on the purchase price.

Just received this today. Tried to load Debian 10, seemed to load ok but just got blinking cursor on boot. Decided to try Debian 11 (bullseye) with XFCE since Debian 11 will be released soon. Had to use the firmware version in order for wifi to work, no big deal. Booted fine and is QUITE FAST with stock ram of 4gb. Was going to order another 8gb, am not going to do that now, this thing is plenty fast. Note that I bought this as a chromebook replacement, as i am sick of googles nonsense and am slowly divesting myself of anything google. In that use case this was a HUGE win.

Been using this for a minute now. All updates have been done without issues. Screen is clean and Keyes are perfect. Finger lock works every time. I don’t have any regrets with this purchase.

Purchased this for a high school kid. Does what it needs to do. The base model is ok. I like that you can upgrade this in the future. They included the bracket for a secondary drive. I will be buying more of these for clients

This laptop is decent for gaming but it is very good overall. I’ve heard my sound quality is a lot nicer and everything is just good.

My subjective review is based on A515-46-R14K model i purchased equipped with Ryzen 3 3350U CPU.

I bought this computer with a lot of expectations because my last computer was a major disappointment and I was thoroughly surprised with it. Its easy to use, comfortable while typing, and the screen is amazing. However, the icing on the cake is the light in the keyboard. I was not expecting that in made me very happy to discover this feature.

After looking at Amazon reviews and YouTube videos for the Acer Aspire Laptop I was convinced that it was the best choice for me. It turned out that way. The Acer Aspire is a slick looking machine that boots up quickly and performs every task that I throw at it with ease.

Came with cracked screen, while box is okay.

Sound isnt very loud, and headphones didnt work at first. Had to re-install sound driver by troubleshooting Sounds under in Windows to fix the issue.
