I needed a new laptop for my work from home setup, and this offered speed, Wi-Fi 6, fingerprint reader and a backlit keyboard for a good price. The system is upgradeable – I upgraded the M.2 SSD from the standard 256 GB to 1 TB for the operating system and applications, and I added a 1 TB SATA SSD for my data, since there is a expansion space for this additional drive, and the system provides an installation bracket and ribbon cable for that purpose.
My only disappointment is that the specifications indicate that the system will support a maximum of 20 GB of RAM, and states that there is 4 GB on onboard RAM, with the rest of the RAM installed in an expansion slot that is accessible for upgrading. My system came with 8 GB of RAM, but all of it was in the module in the expansion slot, and so when I replaced it with a 16 GB module, that is the maximum amount of memory I can use with the system. It’s still a great system, and 16 GB is more than adequate for my purposes. It’s just that the published specifications lead you to believe you can host more RAM than the system is capable of hosting.

Excelente peoducto, llegó antes de tiempo a pesar de ser importación, las características son bastantes buenas, el precio es excelente y el material es muy bonito. Buena compra.

Review is for a Acer Aspire 5 A515-55-56VK, replaces a horrible HP Pavillion 15-AW017CA from 4 years ago. I paid $775Can+tax for the Acer and $650Can+tax for the HP in 2017.
Have run it through one full battery charge and full discharge. Battery seems strong and should get better after the three full charge/discharge cycles (read the manual you can find on Acer’s site!).
No comparison to the HP. This thing is really is quite fast. Using the fingerprint reader I can hard boot it and log on in 15 seconds.
Has enough sockets for me, fast USB3’s, fast wifi, USB C, LAN. Only one HDMI but with the nice screen it has one HDMI is enough for me.
Quality seems pretty good for a cheaper laptop. I like the keyboard, the screen is really nice. I use a mouse so not sure what the track pad is like, didn’t even try it. The finger print reader is nice feature. I did all ten fingers, mostly because I do a lot of woodworking.
Not the most powerful, not the strongest not the lightest but does have quality parts inside and it shows in how it runs. If you want a great value laptop this would probably be hard to beat.
The memory can be upgraded. You can also put either an old school magnetic hard-drive in it or a solid state (fast and low power, lighter) drive. I ordered a “Blue” Western Digital 1 TB solid state drive (SSD) for it that cost $130Can+tax. The 256 GB “on board” that comes in it just is not enough for me. The SSD drives are about 2x the cost of magnetic and worth every cent. Way less power usage so your battery lasts longer and fan runs slower.
This laptop is primarily for my daughter doing covid induced online schoolwork but I will use it for some engineering work as a consultant. I normally use a bulletproof grade Lenovo but I like the acer better with the larger screen (for my old eyes). Acer is faster but I cut down Windows 10 and have no programs on it yet.
I would recommend this laptop to a friend. A friend of mine has two Acer laptops that he likes. Thought I would try one and glad I did.

I haven’t seen many reviews for this particular CPU/model. I have been using this laptop to work from home for about a week now, which means I keep it plugged in on my desk and on for 8+ hours a day while I work with spreadsheets and email clients. Numerous reviews for the i5-10210 CPU mentioned the terrible fan noise and low sound quality, but I haven’t experienced either of those issues with i5-1035G1. The fan does turn on sometimes when I’m not heavily using the laptop, but it doesn’t stay on long and it’s not very loud. I play workout videos on the laptop and am very pleased with sound and video quality. For reference, I had an i3 Asus laptop for nine years before getting this one, so my standards are kind of low because my old one was so much heavier, clunkier, slower, etc. Nevertheless, this seems fantastic for what I need it to do, which is mainly to facilitate my work-from-home experience. Since it has only been a week my experience is limited, so if anything goes catastrophically wrong I will update my review. Fingers crossed…
**EDIT**November 18, 2020: Still a great laptop. No issues!

This is my third Acer laptop (other 2 are still functional) and after 2 weeks this has been a solid performer. Performs well and with WiFi 6 I am getting superb speed using 5 GHz network. Battery life has been good so far. I will say that compared to my Aspire E laptop the keyboard is slimmer, and the number pad keys and functions keys are smaller but there is nice tactile feedback on the keys and the back lighting is nice.
What has been difficult is getting proper information about configuration. Like some other reviews, my laptop came with 1 8 GB memory stick rather than a 4 + 4 configuration. So this laptop maxes out at only 16 GB of RAM, and you are limited to using only Kingston memory (per Acer and my own testing). So that was a bit of a bummer.
I was able to add a second SDD (I used WD Blue b/c of price) which is always a nice feature of the Acer laptops. This was more difficult than my Aspire E laptops but still doable. The trick is to remove the screw holding the Intel chip down so you can fully seat the connector.

Not worth anywhere near $600. Maybe $450 at best.

My old computer uses Windows 7 which (as we all know) is no longer supported. I’ve been looking for a new computer with Windows 10 and I liked the Acer Aspire 5 specs.
A backlit keyboard is a dealbreaker for me and it has a nice one. I wish I could disable the time-out feature; it goes dark very quickly (which is annoying) but I only have to hit a key/spacebar to light it up again. Also, I cannot adjust the brightness of the backlit keyboard. I would prefer to be able to have the keyboard stay lit and to adjust the brightness (as with my older laptop) but those are not options here. I do like the feel of the keyboard and the fact that it has a numbers pad.
The screen size is great. I like the image quality.
Finding things on Windows 10 is not difficult and I’ve spent a lot of time today setting things up how I want them. I just noticed the default setting for the camera is “Allow apps to access your camera”, which I turned off.
The internal speakers have a nice sound. I have music playing now and I do not feel a need to plug in my external speakers to amplify it.
Cannot address battery life yet as I am always near a power source so I just keep laptops plugged in.
I buy devices to use for a long time (my last laptop is going on 8 years) and I plan on using this one for quite a while. For my personal use it should be more than adequate.

Then Acer made me spend $50 to send it to them for replacement. Moral of the story – if you’re gonna buy an Acer on Amazon, pay the extra money for the protection plan, or buy a better laptop than this one. I have zero expectations for this thing going forward.

Really nice laptop. I needed a new laptop and compared to my 2 year old Dell this is so much nicer. Very smooth and fast performance. Feels and looks nice. Set up was pretty easy even for me which I’m not a computer geek or anything. So far I really like it and expect it to last a long time. Excellent build quality. I only wish it had a built in dvd/cd drive. They are getting hard to find in laptops in this price range though. Highly recommend if you want a nice laptop at a decent price

I actually have 2 of these in my home. My one son really liked his brothers laptop he decided to buy one himself. Great for gaming and they love the lighted keyboard.
