Acer Aspire 5 Slim Laptop, 15.6" Full HD IPS Display, AMD Ryzen 3 3200U, Vega 3 Graphics, 4GB DDR4, 128GB SSD, Backlit Keyboard, Windows 10 in S Mode, A515-43-R19L
Style:Laptop
Acer Aspire 5 A515-43-R19L comes with these high level specs: AMD Ryzen 3 3200U Dual-Core Processor 2.6GHz with Precision Boost up to 3.5GHz (Up to 4MB L3 Cache), Windows 10 in S mode, 15.6" Full HD (1920 x 1080) widescreen LED-backlit...
It is an excellent machine for web surfing, document editing and email though
At minimum the memory should be upgraded to really make this a great machine, the cheapest upgrade is a single 4GB DDR4-2400 memory stick that would double the memory and enable dial channel operation for a nice performance boost
Overall it's a good machine with a lot of potential, just be careful carrying it around because durability is a concern.
All in all, for a daily driver laptop that you don't intend to do any heavy gaming on, it's a fantastic little machine.
With those two upgrades done, you have a nice machine sitting in front of you, worth quite a bit more than what you'll end up paying for it

I upgraded mine adding 4GB RAM and swapping the SSD with a 256GB SATA drive (thanks Acer for including the SATA bracket & cable).For the tech saavy: it has the WD SN520 128GB NVMe SSD, QCNFA344A 2x2 ac WiFi, ELAN trackpad w/ Windows Precision Touchpad support, and a 48Wh battery
The battery is good, too.
I'm assuming the battery can be upgraded to a better one at a later time, since it's easily accessible when the back cover is removed.
Battery Saver On and lowest Screen Brightness level
I found that the battery is good for almost 3 hours and charges very quickly

This is a decent price and has good performance
The zippy performance is more thanks to the SSD Hard Drive than the RAM
It works great with Linux as long as you stick with the latest kernels, the stock Debian/buster 4.19 kernel had some issues, but it works perfectly with the 5.2 kernel

For light work/portable/vacation/video chat while traveling seems perfect
Overall i am really loving this laptop, it was very affordable, easily upgradeable hard drive and memory, and it is working great.

I ordered this Acer Aspire 5 Slim laptop on prime day
It works great with Linux as long as you stick with the latest kernels, the stock Debian/buster 4.19 kernel had some issues, but it works perfectly with the 5.2 kernel
In my experience, I found that the Acer Aspire 5 FLIES in Ubuntu or any Linux for that matter in comparison with Windows

The Acer Aspire 5 A515-43 is a very sleek and modern designed laptop that is able to run everyday tasks smoothly

Start-up was super easy, the back lit keyboard is helpful, and it is fast
Start up time and opening/closing programs is impressively fast.- Easy to install software: With a few clicks, you can switch from the pre-installed Windows 10 S (app-only), to Windows 10 Home.- Great peripherals: The keyboard and trackpad are very responsive and comfortable to use
Screen brightness is very good.- Keyboard: Backlit is very convenient
The keyboard is great, reminds me very much of my dead (expensive paperweight
Initially, I wanted a computer that had a 14 inch screen, but am glad I have the extra space now, and the keyboard is easy to adjust to

The other reviewers were right the screen is awesome
Absolutely great hardware considering many budget laptops in the market today ship with horrible TN screens, 30-35Wh batteries, touchpads that lack certain gestures and provide zero configurability, or a lousy cooling system
It is sleek, has a big screen and is convenient for my needs
However, the beautiful 1080p IPS screen, full keyboard layout, spaciousa and responsive touchpad, USB 3.1 ports and stereo speakers easily cover the basics and then some
(32GB should work), upgradable 2280 NVMe SSD, empty 2.5" HDD slot, beautiful screen, gigabit RJ45 port, lightweightCons: not so great battery life, no SD card reader, no USB-C port, cheap speakers, air intake at the bottom

There's nothing too outstanding that this laptop does to really shine above the rest but at the relatively cheap price point ($280 on Prime Day for me), it's hard to go wrong
It’s such good quality because I can use this for several years and it matches my needs, like programming and designing and best of all it’s at an affordable and decent price
great computer for the price-- great value and easy to set up-- start to finish setting up including printer- 30 minutes.

But I needed something a little more "grown-up" for my graduate school and this is just it!For the price, this computer is absolutely worth every penny (I also read that the RAM is upgradable, I have yet to do it, but I plan to before school starts).
Great computer at a great price

While not the sweet spot for Ryzen, it’s not choking the system, either
For the lower specs, this system actually feels zippy (fast) to me
This system was well worth the price and is a welcome addition to my home computing environment.

The Prime Day deal on this Acer was too hard to pass up on
I got this laptop on prime day for roughly 250ish after using rewards points and deal of the day
It works great with Linux as long as you stick with the latest kernels, the stock Debian/buster 4.19 kernel had some issues, but it works perfectly with the 5.2 kernel
Got this as a prime day deal at a great price, but it's a nice deal even at the retail price
Getting this laptop at only $270 on prime day is an incredible deal and even at the standard price it's worth it

The screen is super sharp and picture quality is unbelievable

The large screen can also handle a variety of multi-tasking.- Good build quality: The aluminum body definitely promises sturdy protection from bumps and falls.- Very fast

I bought another 4gb RAM stick off an auction site for $15 shipped.-110gb of the 128gb is free to use out the box, that remaining 18gb is presumably a recovery partition for Windows
The 4 GB total is the bigger issue, as that’s pretty low for today’s standards
The 4GB worked fine as long as I didn't load up Chrome with dozens of tabs
The laptop comes with a mere 118gb of space so I also recommend buying atleast a 120 gb SSD if you require more space
The only drawbacks would be the 4gb of memory (which is expandable) and the fairly limited amount of storage

It's good if you want to game in a pinch, I guess.-The speakers suck
The speakers are not as loud as I hoped, webcam quality isn't great, and the microphone is decent
The speakers are not loud and sound slightly tinny, but overall the laptop has a good hardware set and still RAM and HDD upgradable.

The zippy performance is more thanks to the SSD Hard Drive than the RAM
Overall i am really loving this laptop, it was very affordable, easily upgradeable hard drive and memory, and it is working great.
Plus, memory and hard drive space can be easily upgraded for very little cost, making it possible to match the features of more expensive models without the price tag
Overall i am really loving this laptop, it was very affordable, easily upgradeable hard drive and memory, and it is working great.
Despite being a slim lightweight laptop with a large and bright screen, it is very easy to replace the memory and hard drive, unlike many recent premium laptops that are glued shut with non-removable components
