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

I was excited to upgrade this lptop but the power connector for 2.5 ssd is missing & the ssd screws were not packaged, they were loose in the box.

Used this as a public computer in our clubhouse. Was limited to $500 on purchase so had to kick in a little on my own. Already had one bought earlier this year that has worked quite well for us.

So far Im not having any luck with these Ryzen mobile processors.

This laptop comes with an upgrade kit for an additional hard drive but the motherboard has no hard drive connector. Cheap pos don’t buy only 128gb non upgradable.

As a tech support specialist at our school, Ive ordered over 10 plus Aspire 5s in the last few years for both school and home users and the Aspire 5 has always been a solid, stable performer. Good, commonsense configurations combined with great pricing, make this Acer model perfect for general home & school usage. I always like to add 8GB-16GB memory to help with multi-tasking and multiple browser tabs, but the onboard memory usually suffices for most users.

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.

This is a great laptop for general computing (internet, word processing etc). It is lightweight, starts up quickly, and has a great screen. I highly recommend this model if you are on a budget and need a solid laptop at a great price.

this was a great laptop to game on it runs games like valorant and grand theft auto very well, and is very good for listening to music and just doing work on it

mousepad randomly stopped working and not very happy

No, cant boot to CDUSB&c... this will not be your laptop, it will be Windows and Acers!
