Acer Aspire 5 Slim Laptop A515-43-R19L 15.6" Full HD IPS Display, AMD Ryzen 3 3200U, 4GB DDR4, 128GB PCIe NVMe SSD with Acer 15.6" Gray Travel Backpack

I could sit here and write all about the specs on this computer, but they are already in the description, and If you are like me... you don't really understand it anyways.So I am going to tell you what I LOVE about this computer and what I use it for. I am a full time college student as well as a single mother who stays busy. I have previously used a HP All In one computer that I bought brand new a year ago and I hate that thing... It is so slow!!! When I first opened this item, I was just hoping that it would be a little faster! What I got instead was an amazing computer that is faster than I could have ever imagined. Now I don't use this thing for much more than amazon reviews, school work, and papers. But this is exactly what I needed.It navigated quickly between web pages, my Microsoft word programs opens instantly and doesn't take forever to load like my HP does. The picture of this monitor is just beautiful. Everything is so clear. I love that the keyboard has a back light so I can see the keys if I need to take a look at them while I am typing, but the back lights go away after a few seconds, so if you are watching a movie, the lit up key board will not bother you.This computer is so light weight and easy to carry. I love the sleek design of it as well. This would be a great computer for anyone who just needs a basic computer for the internet or spreadsheets. I would feel at ease taking this computer with me to college or sending it off to college with my children, and I wouldn't worry if they had the ability to complete their assignments in school. I am so so so happy with this product!

This is the best laptop deal you can get, full stop.Touchescreen? Nope. That feature is stupid in a laptop, in my view. As you use the keyboard, incidental touche s of the screen change focus or move to different screens--touchscreen is a gimmick and sucks.The screen on this laptop is worth the price by itself. Gorgeous, black is actually black, it rivals my AOC gaming desktop monitor.The Ryzen chip inside can be overclosked if you feel like it, but it is not needed. It is plenty fast for a laptop.This is set up to add memory and a hard drive. Do so. I spent an additional $50 to add a 1tb drive and an 8gig memory stick. In so doing, I have the same specs as a $700 consumer laptop.Gaming? I stream from my desktop, it's perfect. It won't run any modern games at more than low settings (if that) but you don't need to run them onboard if you have a gaming machine. DO NOT BUY THIS TO PLAY GAMES ONBOARD. Stream via Steam, it's perfect.Buy this for $300, spend an additional $50 or $100 on memory and storage, and sit back and realize that you got a premier laptop for 1/3 the money people are spending on nothing.Build quality is bomber. Eveything is solid, no rattles, no warps. Others have ripped on the touchpad--can't tell the difference between this and any other laptop touchpad. It isn't loose, responds as usual, no problem.The screen is GORGEOUS and much better than laptops at twice or three times the price.I actually like the compressed number pad on the right. If you aren't doing a lot of 10-key stuff, it's what you need.The keyboard backlight stays on while you're typing, shuts off when you aren't. Perfectly configured.This boots in about 15 seconds.It has some heft, but is still very light. Hard to describe, but you can carry this all day in your backpack and not even know it is there. The power brick is about the size of a Toblerone tube. I plan on buying an extra to travel with.This will work as a consumer laptop as is, like I said, but add some memory and a hard drive and you are CRUSHING.I can't sing the praises of this enough.Buy this, add a drive and a memory stick and you get a premier laptop for less than $400. And you get a better screen, too. And anyone can do that, it isn't tough at all. If you can turn a screwdriver, you can update this machine.Make sure to go in and turn S mode off. First, activate Windows, then go to the store and turn off S mode.This is much better than what other companies are offering as a budget laptop.

A very reasonably priced laptop for basic computing needs. The specs that stick out to me for describing this as "basic needs" is 4GB of RAM, and 128GB M.2 SSD. Both are at the bare minimum in today's needs. Cell phones now come with those specs( high dollar ones though..).Seems like one of the goals of this laptop is to keep an aesthetically pleasing design. Just 1 3.1 USB port and 2 2.0 USB ports are included, one headphone/mic jack, 1 slim RJ45 port, HDMI, and power input plug. No external battery.2 things that stuck out to me when I started using: screen and sound quality. The screen is very sharp and high contrast. Black is actually black. Very impressed. I was also surprised by the audio quality. I don't expect much from laptop speakers, especially low priced ones, but was pleasantly surprised on how clear the audio is.The back panel of the laptop does not have any easy access ports to swap out hard drives or RAM. Instead, you remove 10 or so Philips screws to remove the entire panel. I've already swapped out the 4GB RAM stick for an 8GB. Easy enough.The laptop includes an M.2 SSD. The pro to this is you still have the option of adding a traditional sized disk to expand your storage, without needing to worry about reinstalling an OS or attempting to clone the included drive.Almost puked when I thought I was locked-in to "S Mode" When I went to unlock S-mode, Windows kindly directly me to pay >$100 to purchase a license! I was furious thinking this was some new scheme to sell laptops without a full legitimate Windows license and instead lock you into a Microsoft only app store. I forget the exact steps I took, but somewhere I found that there was an error in activating my Windows license, and I had to click a troubleshoot button, then it magically worked and got me out of S mode. Disaster averted.A couple of things that annoy me:-The touchpad feels a little loose to me. Just gently touching it causes it to move and you can hear a plastic on plastic sound, its distracting...-The keyboard backlight turns off after a set amount of time, you must press a key for it to illuminate again. Moving the mouse/touchpad does not cause the keys to light up. You must touch a key. I see the is a BIOS option for disabling the timeout. I've disabled it but it appears to have no effect. It still turns off.-The slim-line RJ45 port seems messed up... I pull the flap down and it does not open far enough to insert a connector. I will probably never use it.. but what gives?

Una compra excelente desde todos los ángulos, lo primero que hice después de desactivarle el modo wndows home S fué actualizarla y descargar mis apps y juegos, corre el CSGO, witcher 2, Fallout New Vegas y Borderlands 2 sin problemas, el Skyrim se corre en ajustes medios, es una laptop suficiente para jugar fuera de casa, lo siguiente que hice fué abrirla y mi sorpresa fué muy grande al descubrir que tenía espacio para agregarle un SSD extra, le puse un SanDisk de 128 GB que tenía arrumbado por ahí, también noté que la RAM se puede ampliar, me falta comprar un SODIMM de 4GB para mejorarla a 8 GB y ya no pido más, ponerle 16 GB ya me parece un exceso en una laptop que es para juegos ligeros, la verdad se siente fuerte y bien construída, los materiales son de muy buena calidad, el teclado retroiluminado y la tapa de aluminio le dan una apariencia elegante y moderna, el borde de la pantalla es delgadito así que le permite aprovechar muy bien el espacio de la pantalla, ya probé el dual boot con Linux KDE Plasma Neon instalado en el SanDisk SSD, y Windows 10 home en el SSD Western Digital, el dual boot funciona de maravilla, sólo es cuestión de activar en el BIOS la tecla F12 para cambiar el disco duro a la hora del arranque, excelente valor por mi dinero bien ganado.Actualizacion: le agregué otro SODIMM de 4 GB marca Hynix que me costó $300 pesos en ML, de fábrica trae un SODIMM Samsung y no tuvo problema alguno, ahora tiene 8 GB de RAM, es una laptop muy rápida tanto con Win 10 home como con Linux KDE Neon, yo la apruebo.

Deberás es una laptop muy rapida y fluida, con características de hardware actuales, ya incluye un ssd tipo m.2 y puedes agregar un ssd o Hdd adicional.Viene con solo 4gb en ram, nada mal pero si queda un poco justo.Agregué un modulo de ram de 8gb que encontre a un muy buen precio ($650) y un hdd que tenía rumbado por casa, ahora mi laptop tiene 12gb en ram y 160gb de almacenamiento extras.La pantalla es increible, calidad, colores, resolución, todo.El teclado tiene muy buen tacto y viene muy bien la retroiluminación.Es delgada y con una tapa en aluminio.AQUÍ VIENE LO MALO..Al ser un equipo muy bonito, muy rapido, muy barato, que puede fallar? Al desempaquetarlo te das cuenta que tu compra ha valido la pena, pero oh sorpresa, VENIA UN TORNILLO POR DENTRO SUELTO.Me percarte de ello con solo moverlo de lado a lado, no sabía que hacer y no queria prender la laptop porque pudiera haber provocado un corto, entramparse en el ventilador o algo.Para ello lo bueno que sé de equipos y me anime a desarmarlo (no quería que tener volver a reenviarla y volver a esperar).Me encontré con un tornillo suelto que no iba por ningún lado, iba sobrado, conecte el cable de carga y prendio sin problemas...Pero ese detalle si me dejo un poco insatisfecho.Salir del modo S de Windows es obligatorio para poder utilizar tu equipo como se debe, no es nada complicado.En conclusión recomiendo este equipo, solo espero no les toque la mala suerte de que venga con un tornillo suelto, de ser lo contrario daría las 5 estrellitas..

This looks to be a good laptop at a good price, but be aware that it does not have a UK keyboard. This means you can't type certain characters, including the pound sign £, and other characters are not where you expect them - for example the @ sign is shift-2 instead of being to the right of L.

Ansiaba tener esta laptop en mis manos desde que la compré. Tiene todo lo que un adicto a este tipo de dispositivos pudiera desear por el rango de precio: carcasa de aluminio, teclado retroiluminado, disco duro M.2, pantalla FHD, duración razonable de su batería, tamaño adecuado de pantalla y peso ligero. La adquirí en rebaja por 6952 pesos mexicanos y creo ha sido una de las mejores compras que he hecho en mi vida en materia de computación. Le añadí dos memorias de 8 Gb cada una Corsair Vengeance a 2400 Mhz y literal "vuela" esta maquinita. Adicionalmente, le puse un SSD para almacenamiento de 480 Gb, también en oferta por ese entonces. Espero esta sea mi compañera por largo tiempo.Pros:-Portabilidad y rendimiento-Teclado retroiluminado-Calidad de su pantalla-Peso ligero-Construcción en aluminioContras:-En ocasiones sentirás el fan activarse y cuando checas la temperatura puede llegar hasta los 70 grados, sin estar haciendo tareas muy exigentes (navegando, viendo algún video o escaneando con el antivirus). No es constante este tema y creo que no pase más allá de conseguir una buena base de refrigeración, de esas que andan por acá mismo.

I just bought this laptop and when opening the box, there is no plug or cable with this laptop. I always plug mine in as the battery does not last as long as I need it to.This has stopped me from using it in case it stops while I am using it.I am waiting for information from the seller. Will updateUPDATE - There now seems to be a problem with the keyboard, the number 2 key will not change to a @ which means I cannot type in any email addresses. This means most programs I use require an email address I can't use right now. I have spoken to a few pc experts who gave me advice to update drivers deinstall - reinstall, which all worked. But didn't fix the problem. They have told me to get it replaced. I am waiting on the company to get back to me. Very disappointed, have wasted so much time trying to sort this. Will update. 5/10/21UPDATE - Seller has contacted me to get a plug and cable sent on, seemingly because there is a different plug on the original they need to change it over to a UK plug and cable, they said it would take around two days. Will update.25th Oct - updateStill chasing them for a email sent, no reply.I bought this in 29th September, their customer service is terrible.They sent me a PC that does not run on a UK keyboard language, but no one tells you that, I spend hours trying to find out why it wouldn't work, I ended up having to tell the company, who then informed me.I got my plug, but they didn't sent me the adapter, so I still could not use my PC. So I had to ask them again to send the adapter, it was getting very heated, as I had sent them three pictures of what I needed but still they couldn't work it out, even after I pointed to my old adapter.WITH PICTURES.Still I then had to wait for the adapter to arrive.I got my adapter and found there was no instructions on how it works. so (not being technical) I struggled to get it set up. I asked them to send me a manual. They don't do manuals it seems, they sent me a link to open. (remember my old PC is on its last legs, it won't open files, all I have was email access) So my Last email, was to ask them to download a hard copy and sent it to me, as I have no printer.I have not heard from them since. They offered me $30 for compensation after a month of this nightmare. - I will update the last stage of this nightmare.
