The Acer Aspire 5 sits in Acer's ‘everyday computing' range and it's the epitome of the no-nonsense laptop. It's a little on the chunky side, not especially attractive to look at and, yet, it delivers the goods when it comes to performance and usability.

Good value; Great performance at this price point; Nice keyboard

Awful display; Chunky design

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

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.

Great product and great price! Fast, quiet, and American keyboard.

Bought this few months, great laptop for everyday use and has plenty of grunt, i think Intel optane memory make the difference for sure.

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.

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.

One of the best SSD Laptops i have ever had. Incredibly fast load and boot times paired with good graphics card, decent screen size, great sound & mic quality, long battery life with half the time to charge to full.

Intel recently announced its 8th gen Core CPUs for laptops and desktops , which were highlighted in new launches at IFA 2017 . Laptops based on these new CPUs have already started trickling into the market, and Acer is one of the first companies to start selling them in India.

Good multimedia performance; ​Good value for money; User accessible RAM and storage; Comfortable keyboard

4GB of RAM hampers usage; ​Display has weak viewing angles; Lid flexes; Heavy

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
