The Acer Aspire 5 is a mid-range laptop that ticks pretty much all the boxes you'd want for a day-to-day laptop: it performs most tasks well, plays media fine and has a very good battery life, all for a compelling price.

Good battery life; Up-to-date components; Good build quality; Decent performance; Well priced

Cheap-feeling touchpad; Screen isn't the most vibrant; Not as light and thin as other laptops

I was to give 5 stars if the battery life was more longer....it keeps only .... 4 hours In (web browsing video or gaming)....In the rest it's alright.

i brought this for uni and get the product at a price that was just under my budget was amazing. The laptop works like charm, exactly how i expected it to run. Great!!!!!

Fast boot; clear and bright screen

Poor graphics performance; problems with graphics drivers; and periodic freezing while in use

This is one of a range recently launched at Thorpe Park on what in some parts of the country was the hottest day of the year. While it was an event I was unable to make I have been kept up to date by the excellent Acer PR Company, here the first offering sent to me.

I bought this as a Christmas present for my daughter. She is into photography and uses it with other software to great effect. good buy. No complaints so far.

I bought it a week ago and I am happy I purchased it as I can use the softaware easily

I've been using this for about a week now and so far it's great. While it's technically not a gaming laptop it will handle most newer games at medium to high settings with decent frame rates. The screen has great color and brightness, sound despite bottom facing speakers was louder than expected.

It works really well for what u play/do. CS-Go runs at a good stable 122 fps so nice compared with a mac

The Aspire lineup is Acer's everyday, middle-of-the-road range of laptops. Available in 15.6-inch or 17-inch variants, these models aren't as thin and light as the company's Swift laptops. Nevertheless, they offer good all-round performance, at prices ranging from £470 to £850.

Smart design; Good all-round performance; Keeps cool and quiet

A515 version has poor screen; Cramped cursor keys; No keyboard backlight
