4.0 out of 5 stars Acer Aspire 5 A515-56-32DK - i3-1115G4
Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2022

Una Laptop con diseño elegante y caracteristicas decentes, ideal para trabajo de oficina como es mi caso, tambien la puedes usar para colegio o universidad, siempre y cuando no sea para juegos o diseño grafico, para esos casos hay mejores laptop pero mucho mas caras.Le agregue 4 gb mas de memoria ram para tener un total de 8 gb y un hdd de 1 tera para respaldar datos , mas que sufuciente.Lo unico errado en la descripcion es que no tiene teclado iluminado, principalmente la compre por eso y me decepciono un poco que informen mal acerca de las caracteristicas del producto, por lo demas es muy aceptable su desenpeño para el precio que pagamos, en comparacion a otras marcas con las mismas caracteristicas, esta Acer es mas barata.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------A Laptop with an elegant design and decent features, ideal for office work as in my case, you can also use it for college or university, as long as it is not for games or graphic design, for those cases there are better laptops but much more expensive.I added 4 gb more of ram to have a total of 8 gb and a 1 tera hdd to back up data, more than enough.The only thing wrong in the description is that it does not have an illuminated keyboard, I mainly bought it for that reason and I am a little disappointed that they misinform about the characteristics of the product, otherwise its performance is very acceptable for the price we pay, compared to other brands with the same characteristics, this Acer is cheaper.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not a powerhouse but acceptable for low end workstation use

Reviewed in the United States ???????? on April 9, 2023

CPU: i3-1115G4Style: Notebook OnlyVerified Purchase

This is an economy laptop that is marginally better than the average Chromebook. Do not expect it to run the latest games or any graphically intensive applications. With that stated, I am utilizing these at a non profit charity that which mostly utilizes cloud based applications. These computers work very well at this task while providing the future proofing of being Windows 11 compliant.

We are replacing ACER Aspire E15 series laptops with this model. The E15s were mostly generation 7 & 8 I3 and i5 models with SATA III SSDs and 8GB of RAM. The NVMe drives are much faster than the older SATA III drives. I miss the extra RAM, but not enough to crack open these cases for upgrades. My volunteers appreciate the lighter weight and slimmer size. I don't remember the last time we actually utilized an optical drive or card reader which were lost with the slimmer case.

These have smaller batteries than our older models. That coupled with the CPU and RAM workload increase, means that I anticipate 5 - 6 hours of battery life utilizing basic cloud based applications. Streaming movies or playing basic games will decrease the life more. Non CPU intensive desktop productivity software should increase the battery life. The power port is proprietary so you will need to carry the brick and cords if you need more battery life during your day. From an IT prospective, this is a blessing due to the number of infected USB C chargers that have begun popping up in public spaces.

Most of the volunteers in the organization are older and greatly appreciate the larger display size. There is no touch display option. The maximum resolution is 1920x1080, but the overall quality does not keep up with mid level or elite laptops. The viewing angle is about 120 degrees from the side and less from the top. Graphics performance is low. The colors are not as rich and the contrast is not as dynamic as better displays. This does include HDMI 2.0. I do not think it could drive a display with higher resolution very well though. It is fine for plugging presentations in to a projector or large display. I do not see much improvement on this display vs the 2017 - 2019 ACER E15 series laptops these are replacing.

The webcam is basic. The speakers are small and face down. There is a single microphone. If you speak on calls, a headset is a must. If you listen on calls, this is adequate provided your space is quiet enough for the small speakers. The overall sound quality is a compromise between value and quality leaning heavily on value.

The keyboard is textured. It is not backlit. There is not indication that Caps lock or Number Lock are engaged. So far, I prefer it to the usual flat chiclet keyboards that haunt modern laptops. The key response is good. The number pad keys are smaller than the regular keys and some of the buttons are not in standard 10 key locations. The keyboard also does not use the standard inverted T for the arrow keys. This is either a learning curve or an annoyance depending on the user. Time will tell regarding dust and foreign debris issues and how difficult it is to change a key, switch or the entire keyboard.

The touchpad is large enough to cover the display area adequately. It is sensitive enough to cover tap clicking or actual clicking depending on user preference. I do miss the button that disables the touchpad to eliminate palm pressing, but that disappeared with optical drives on every computer.

The ports are great. This laptop has 2 USB 3.2 and one USB C on the left side, and one USB 2.0 on the right side. It also has gigabit ethernet and HDMI 2.0 on the left side and a headphone port on the right side. The SD card reader has disappeared to no big loss. Many of my volunteers prefer corded mice and happen to be right handed. A USB port on the right side is really nice. The power port is proprietary since this is USB C instead of Thunderbolt 3/4. That is a nice range of current and future connectivity. The average user will not need to utilize a dock or USB hub with this laptop.

The WI-FI supports both 2.4 and 5.0 Ghz protocols. It maxes out at WI-FI 5 speeds. The built in ethernet port is gigabit which maxes out at 125mbps. Both are adequate for streaming, web browsing, email, and basic Internet use. Most home networks are gigabit so this slots in very well. I was able to maintain transfers at 2.3GBe with a USB 3.2 to 2.5GBe adapter. There is no wireless upgrade option.

You can access the main board and components with nothing more than a 00 Phillips screwdriver. There is a single RAM slot and it utilizes NVMe 3.0. The base model is a little light on both RAM and storage, but for a workstation, it is adequate. For a more power user, you can upgrade both, which is nice and becoming rare in most laptops. The NVMe drive is not heat shielded nor is it installed in a place with good airflow. I would not be surprised to encounter heat throttling during periods of heavy use. The overall drive life may be compromised as well. Time will tell. There are no additional unused SATA, PCI, or NVMe ports for expansion. You cannot upgrade the CPU and there is no expansion port to add discrete graphics. No surprise there.

I immediately exited Windows S mode during initial setup. Any program that won't allow a user to even utilize a different browser, isn't right for me. This may be nice if you are attempting to keep users away from applications and websites of questionable origin but our desktop software will never be listed in the MS store and our cloud based software is not stable in Edge.

The bottom line is that this laptop is designed for non power users and companies looking for a laptop that is more powerful and less controlled than the average Chromebook. If your user experience is surfing the Internet, streaming videos, checking email, and running software that will never be listed in an App Store, this is a great option. If you want to play games, or edit video or graphics, this is not the right choice for you. Based on previous ACER experience, we anticipate 5 years of service out of these which is a great return of investment.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty disappointing

Reviewed in the United States ???????? on January 4, 2023

CPU: i5-1135G7Style: Notebook OnlyVerified Purchase

If I thought anyone would read the one to two star reviews, that's more likely what I would have rated this product. The laptop itself is fine but the operating system experience is really the part that makes me regret my purchase.

For context my wife owns a slightly earlier model of this laptop and it seemed decent so I purchased the Acer Aspire 5 A515-56-53S3 model. I opted to spring for the model with a decent graphics card (Iris XE) and larger solid state drive(storage) because my intent was to use this to play low end/low effort games on the couch while the kiddo and wife watched shows or movies. Even though it suffers from a shortage of RAM, it does seem like it will serve the purpose however I am disappointed with the user experience overall.

Straight to the point: Windows 11 is awful. My wife's laptop came with windows 10, I helped her set it up and customize it the way she likes it. The laptop I just purchased came with windows 11 and it is an entirely different story. The initial setup alone was exhausting with
multiple attempts by Microsoft to get me to agree to letting them track everything I do, including specific text regarding logging everything I type as well as my browser history and web interactions. They also attempt to sell you Microsoft services right off the bat in the form of free trial periods for 365, their cloud services and more. A few of them even note "credit card required" next to the automatically checked box if you wanted to continue. To me this felt pretty crummy. I just bought a 500 dollar laptop and they are already trying to get more money out of me before I even finish the initial setup. Acer adds to the issue by also offering deals, software and registering the product in exchange for services I have absolutely no interest in.

It would be alright if it stopped there but unfortunately that is only the beginning of my disdain. I have only had the laptop for about 19 days and yet it seems like every other time I boot up the system something new pops up. The first few times it was programs installing themselves and congratulating me on my newly unrequested/not permitted acquisitions. Acer took it upon themselves to load Norton Antivirus on my system well after I finished the initial setup process. Icons for Amazon web games are created and appear in my start bar/menu randomly. I've deleted the Microsoft edge browser icon off my desktop and start bar and yet it continues to reappear. Its asked to update 3 times in the 19 days that I've owned it. It seems like one of out every 3 times I start the system it seems slow and sluggish to fully load windows only to find out something has been added without my consent. Which is especially anoying seeing that the system already comes with tons of applications pre loaded similar to buying a new smart phone. Tiktok, messanger apps, amazon prime, Disney+ and more, perhaps Im getting old but I would much rather install what I want myself then have to uninstall tons of apps I will never use from the system.

As stated before there is not much RAM, even on the higher end model I purchased. Checking the performance page in task manager you can see that even without any other self installed apps running, windows and Acer's apps consume 4 of the 8 GB of system RAM. Uninstalling and shutting down a bunch of truly unessential apps and services I was able to get it down to 3/8 GB. The 256GB SSD is also already partially consumed by windows itself which no amount of uninstalling pre loaded apps seems to resolve.

It does have enough resources to play games including some older titles that have 3D graphic requirements. I have not tried to play modern titles or expect it to play more graphic intensive titles but 3D style graphic MMORPGs, Adventure games and the like run pretty well. It does seem to have some issues playing intros and cut scenes sometimes and most annoying is the fact that letting the laptop go to sleep by inactivity or closing the lid causes most games to either crash outright or become slow and consistently stutter to the point where you have to close and reopen the application to resolve the issue.

Battery life is about where I would expect it. Playing graphic games seems to drain it pretty quick. 90% to 40% in about 2 hours of running a low end games. It will last a short flight or a long movie but I expect to have to have it plugged in when ever I wanna really sink into playing something. Speakers are good enough as I wouldn't expect anything great out of a compact laptop. Screen looks crisp and bright.

I cannot say I will likely return the laptop just based on the fact that almost all other laptops available at this point will will also have Windows 11 installed. Its not really an issue with the hardware as much as it's just the operating system that really rubs me the wrong way. I don't feel like its my personal computer. It feels more like a smart phone. I am having less and less faith the system will stay how I left it. The updates are forced and can only be put off for a max of 3 weeks. Gone are the days of getting a system how you like it and it staying that way. Here to stay is the age of only partial owning your system, being subjected to constant updates and with that the assumption its going to run worse and worse over time, plus always having some new unwanted surprise in store every time it is powered up.

5.0 out of 5 stars For the price and features can't beat this Laptop

Reviewed in the United States ???????? on May 1, 2023

CPU: i3-1115G4/8GBStyle: Notebook OnlyVerified Purchase

Terrific display, sensitive touch pad and keyboard. More ports than you would expect. Comes with 8 GB memory and 128 KB Nve solid state drive. The small drive size is a result of the price point of this laptop. However the laptop comes with some screws and a cable to install a second sata drive in an existing bay inside the laptop. Instructions for installing are on line, and are pretty easy. Remove several screws holding the bottom cover. Pry off cover, disconnect the battery cable, connect provided cable to hard drive, install sata drive with provided screws, connect other end of cable to connector on computer board. Reconnect battery Icable. Result for an extra $40.00, now have a 500GB internal Sata drive in addition to the 128 GB boot drive. I was a little concerned about the i3 processor having adequate power, however the machine boots up quickly, browsing fine with many tabs opened, so more than adequate for what I use it for. I don't do gaming. Also computer comes in its ow n box which is then put in a separate shipping box. Prime shipping in 2 days. Not a mark or ding even on the shipping box!

Me gusta la visualizacion de la pantalla, es mi primer laptop lo cual estoy un poco satisfecha con las especificaciones solo que le agregaria un poco mas de memoria ssd ya que la que trae de 256gb se me hace muy poco, aunque yo la uso para seguir con mis cursos de programacion, la bateria le dura poco nose si sea normal porque segun le duraba 8 horas, la verdad ni eso, desde que la tengo que son alrededor de 10 dias me ha pedido que la reinicie como unas 5 veces por actualizaciones, creo y eso es casi todos los dias, es algo molesto ya que en ocasiones la estoy usando y de repente se me pone la pantalla negra unos segundos y luego es cuando me percato que me pide que la reinicie, no tengo aun el mes y ya me estoy desanimando en querer regresarla

The media could not be loaded.

Amazing price at SGD$336 including shipping during Black Friday Sales. No GST charged. Good specifications such as i3. This laptop has extra Sata and Ram slots, easy to open casing for installation of HDD/SSD and Ram upgrades. Keyboard is not lighted. Casing a bit filmsy.
