Review: Out of date review - Way out of date review. Just now realizing this laptop is 6 years old. It has been an excellent computer. Never any problems with it. In fact only being replaced because it was dropped 1 time too many, this time screen open and screen hinge broke.
Review: Acer knocked it out of the park! - I've been using computers since the Intel 8088 processor hit the market via the first IBM PC...well truth be told, we came out at the same time in June of 1979. I feel somewhat like the old man relaying how they walked to school, up hill both ways, in the snow, with no shoes on, saying this but when that device came out, it cost the equivalent of $5,000 ~ $10,000 USD today. Fast forward to 2007 when I purchased my Mac Book Pro for $2,500 to do high-end Graphic design on, with a Core 2 Duo, 2GB DDR2 RAM and 5400RPM HDD....and now....I just purchased a budget buy of a PC that puts them both utterly to shame. I say these things because it has a large bearing on the decision to purchase this laptop. I just finished repairing and upgrading my mother in laws laptop from 2011 that cost more than this but had now where near the performance, even for it's time. Granted, this is not a gaming PC as it does not have a dedicated graphics card but it has enough to push the envelope of what we consider a budget PC. Also worth noting is that this laptop is a replacement for my Dell M6700 workstation laptop that got murdered by lightning. The 8th gen i3 is only half of the overall power of the i7 that was in my M6700. But! the "Single Thread Rating" of the newer i3 is significantly better...and let's face it, even many of the graphic design tasks I do are really only single threaded applications. So, all that extra power was usually not even being tapped. My CPU was usually only at 25% doing HD renderings in Blender. That's definitely worth considering when buying a device, what are the needs of your tasks? If they are single thread tasks, like most non gaming tasks, then an i3 performs quite well, so long as you don't over multi-task by running to many applications at once. It's got DDR4, which is an obvious advantage over DDR3 systems. But even systems that cost more than twice as much are being sold with 5400RPM HDDs. There are very significant performance differences between SSD and HDD systems and the fact that this laptop comes with NVMe drive, which outperforms both SSD and HDD, gives it a solid edge over other budget PCs. Being only 4GB of RAM can be concerning, especially for things like photo and video editing...but I used to do that with 2GB or RAM and it is easily upgradable to 20GB. 128GB of storage is not a lot either by today's standards, but for $50 yo can add in a decent 2TB HDD for storage...i just so happened to already have one because of my system that died. I also redirect my Desktop, Downloads and Documents to the secondary drive to help keep the OS drive clean...worth Google-ing to do yourself. The display is great! it was important to me to get something that is Full HD 1080. I was very near to buying something in the tablet range just because most laptops in this class are only 1366 x 768. it is also not glossy, which I rather prefer. In most cases, glossy screens create in consistent results because of reflecting too much of the environment. It is also very thin and light weight. This was a very important factor since my M6700 was twice has heavy and twice as thick. Overall, I'd say this laptop is the perfect balance of budget pricing with mid level performance.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Model A515-54-30BQ: Very good value for the price
*by K***K on December 9, 2019*

Update 12/12/2019: The design of the power plug connector to the laptop is poor and very likely to break. It's almost a standard "L" 3x1mm DC connector ("L" fits for buying a secondary power brick, although the Asus connector is closer to 2.4x1mm). Problem is that this connector is rather fragile and must be pulled straight out or it will likely break. But the plug sticks out noticeably and is easily bumped by anything close to the laptop, and the "natural" tendency of 3 different test subjects was to pry the plug out at an angle, not pull straight out. The plug will easily turn downwards when lifting the laptop so that even moving it on a desk risks putting stress on the plug (unplug before moving this laptop anywhere). So I'm guessing that the connector will be the first thing to fail, and if it is the internal part of the plug that breaks then it is probably not worth repairing - dead laptop. Original 12/8/19: This review is: "You get what you pay for -- but at least here you get good value for your money." It's a conventional budget laptop; it's not a high-end gaming machine; it's not the slimmest/lightest/fastest; it's not a fancy 2-in-1, no touch screen; it's not rugged enough to bang around very much. It is very reasonably priced, at least when on sale. Expectations low enough yet? ;-) Model A515-54-30BQ uses i3-8145U CPU; 4 Gb (soldered) RAM + 1 expansion slot; 128 GB M.2 NVME SSD, plus one internal 2.5" "space" (the mounting bracket is separate in the box - more about that later). There is a slightly cheaper Ryzen model (probably a better value), and some higher-end Intel I5 models (no comment, though if you need more CPU then you probably need to move up the laptop scale to other models built for higher workloads). Aspire 5 does appear to be a very solid build, and acceptable construction quality if treated nicely, to do typically daily tasks such as web browsing/social media, writing, light video and so on at a decent price. Very good student machine if handled reasonably gently. Screen is pretty good; matte screen, not glossy, and colors are not exceptionally vibrant but neither are they dull or washed out. Keyboard is better than expected: good spacing and key feel, except that the up/down/left/right keys and the keypad are a bit cramped. Keyboard is backlit, which is rare at this price. Caps Lock has no visible indicator -- can be a pain when typing hidden text like passwords, otherwise not much of an issue. Stereo speakers are "acceptable", not great. Port selection is surprisingly good for the price. Battery life seems to be about 6-7 hrs of "typical" light use (no promises, no serious methodology in these tests while doing simple battery conditioning). Wifi is better than other reviews led me to believe. I'm getting 800Mbps between floors from an Asus 86U router. Have not tested range and attenuation extensively. Hardware Upgrades: Requires removing the entire back, which is 11 Phhilips screws (no special torq heads, etc) and plastic tabs that require a small amount of finesse but not hard. Changing the NVME SSD (system disk) is easy; I swapped to an Intel p660 1TB. I replaced Win10 with Ubuntu and Elementary OS, so didn't have to deal with moving Win10 around. Adding an 8 GB RAM is even easier than replacing the SSD, just plugs in. But then there is that additional 2.5" SATA SSD, mounting bracket in the box. You would have to (partially) remove the Wireless card (one screw, similar to NVME SSD), and then disconnect some other lead, fit the SSD into the provided bracket and then mount that, and then tease together the power and data leads and remount the WiFi. There are videos on line that clearly walk you through it. Nothing hard, but a lot of fiddling about to add a standard SATA drive. Given a 1TB NVME SSD, I didn't bother. Yet. I also installed LInux: Ubuntu 19.10 (test everything on relatively safe leading edge for a couple of days -- all OK) and then Elementary OS 5.1 (prepping as a gift). I've run into one odd-ball BIOS issue (reset to default values unexpectedly, easily fixed), but everything else has tested out fine. The screen dimming keys are reversed, oh my! Will update if I turn up anything untoward in the next week or so. I compared about a dozen laptops in the $300-450 range: Asus Vivobook, Lenovo IdeaPad, Dell, HP, etc. The Aspire ticked all the right boxes, although there are many good choices atm. For personal reasons, and not liking everything-in-the-cloud, I excluded chromebooks, but those would be a good alternative for many people who just need web/social media and such. Overall, very satisfied with the Acer Aspire 5 as a daily driver.
