BUY NOW Great general purpose laptop
This is the 4th one of these that I've bought! With it being all solid state, battery life is excellent. Startup is very fast. I've added a second SSD to two of them with no problems. It even comes with the necessary hardware to add it. It's not fast enough for intensive gaming but plenty fast for games like Minecraft, which the kids like. Being solid state also makes it quite rugged.
Good Laptop for My Needs
I needed a laptop with a decent battery life, and room for upgrade. Mostly for office work and media consumption. Web surfing needed, strong wifi, I wanted S mode for security. I wanted access to office.com for document use. I wanted decent audio too. The laptop I got provided all of that. The audio at 100 percent was adequate for media, but my Bluetooth speaker works better. I can still hear it fine without the Bluetooth. I charged the laptop to 100 percent and watched a series, I like, for three hours before it reached 50 percent. So, for media consumption at full brightness gave me plenty of battery. I think I could get a total of five- or six-hours watching movies. I charged it back up from 50 percent to 100 percent in two hours while I watched more series episodes. I keep the touch pad turned off all the time. I never use it, because I prefer a wireless mouse. The laptop is about the size of my 14-inch Chromebook. This laptop, however, is more powerful. So far, I am pleased with this purchase. This would not be suitable for gaming or video editing, but I use my desktop for those things. I recommend this laptop for the things I've mentioned and the low price. The laptop I bought has the following specs.
Acer Aspire 5 A515-56-32DK Slim Laptop was delivered in two days. Core I3, 4gb ram, 128gb NV Me SSD, empty bay for hard drive upgrade. 15.6 display full HD IPS. With Windows 11 S mode. Cost was $308. Delivered by Amazon Driver. I didn't give a rating for touchscreen or gaming, because they do not apply.
It's working well, with good battery life as I can't plug it in at college.
Bought this to take notes and do videos for a college course. It's working well, and lasts 2-3 classes (1/week) before I have to plug it in at home to recharge. All my old laptops were very old or cracked screen, so had to buy a new one as it was required for the class. It is doing well with all the documents and videos I have to use.
Great mid range laptop - if you upgrade the drive and RAM
Bought this for my wife - and as a computer I could use for my programming needs if my main machine were to ever fail. This computer is perfect for surfing the web, writing a book, doing basic home or mid level computing needs. I upgraded this computer with a 2T SDD (easy to do folks - take the screws off the bottom and carefully lift up the base and everything is exposed). JUST MAKE SURE you get the correct SDD for the slot (check online for what SDD connector is in this machine). By the way, you don't need the fastest card in the world for this thing. Even the lowest end SDD will work just fine in this thing. As for RAM, it really only needs another 4 to 8 gig of RAM and it'll be a slightly faster machine for you.
What usually slows these laptops down is the "memory paging" - if you can keep the computer from paging memory (aka "disk thrashing") you'll enjoy the computer much more.
Streamlined
This laptop is extremely user-friendly and has a smooth layout for productivity. The desktop wallpapers and the desktop themes are simplistic as well as eye-catching. All-in-all, with this laptop, everything seems to be more streamlined which helps me focus on my goals and daily tasks.
