    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

    • 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.
    • It is an excellent machine for web surfing, document editing and email though
    • Overall it's a good machine with a lot of potential, just be careful carrying it around because durability is a concern.
    • 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
    • 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
    • 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
