Great Laptop for School; Screen lacks viewing angles

If you're looking for a mid-price laptop for school or basic use, this is a great pick. If you are wanting a laptop for editing photos/videos or great viewing angles, this is not the laptop for you.
Pros:
  • Strong GPU and CPU, fast startup and updates, backlit keyboard, and great battery life
  • I haven't been able to measure the amount of hours yet, but at half brightness it has consistently lasted an entire day of typing papers, downloading files, and editing spreadsheets
Cons:
  • Relatively small storage. 256GB is a lot for someone for school, but if you're editing videos or photos or installing a lot of games, you may need a bigger hard drive. On top of that, the screen is a nice size, but you can only look at it from exactly straight on for the screen to look correct

Acer Aspire 5 A515-51-58HD review: Optane memory gives this budget laptop a boost

While it's thicker and heavier than we'd like and it suffers from an iffy display, the Optane memory-equipped Acer Aspire 5 delivers impressive quad-core performance for hundreds less than its ultraportable competitors.

Good Value

Good value for the money. Boot time is great compared to my old Dell. Screen is a bit cheap and nasty but I sue mine with an external monitor so doesn't really matter to me.

Acer Aspire 5 A515-51G-53V6 Review

With high-end laptops, you're getting an ever slimmer and lighter footprint, backed by a heavy pocket, while budget laptops are wired for performance over looks at rock-bottom prices. Then you…
Pros:
  • Decent performance
  • Good build quality
  • Very reasonable price
Cons:
  • Not as light as it competitors
  • Not the most vibrant screen

Great piece of kit for the price

I chose an Acer model as I'd had one previously that served me extremely well for 10 years before purchasing this one. Setting up was easy, no issues at all. It's light, very fast and the battery lasts a good few days on medium use. Definitely would recommend

So far so good

After a week's worth of use, no problems to report - I removed all the bloatware right away to help. I'm not a techie, so these comments are based on "regular folk" usage. I prefer big screens in laptops even though this makes them less portable aka not exactly lightweight.

best deal

Bought it on sale from GB at almost half the price. It is a very decent laptop with a nice and very bright ips screen. The hardware is mostly made out of good plastic materials and aluminum details. The touchpad is accurate and has upgradable ram. Very happy with this deal i made.
Cons:
  • none
