I am so happy with this laptop! It replaced my old Dell that was several years old and meant upgrading to Windows 11. So far, so good. Speed is amazing (16g of RAM) and the switch to Windows 11 was painless. The keyboard is sleek and the keys are well-sized. My only complaint is the number keypad is a bit smaller and my fingers have not adapted...that's a me problem. It has great ratings by CNET and other IT pros I know. Oh, it also connected itself to my Bluetooth printer without any help from me. Hooray! I use a wireless mouse because it's better for my hands, but the pad is generously sized and responsive. Battery life is very good screen quality is great, sharp and bright.

I love this laptop. It is fast and has a lot of storage. One con I think of is the mouse pad does get stuck sometimes so it can be annoying when trying to do something. However, I really do love it. I did recently crack my screen and I am waiting to buy a replacement screen to replace it. I will update when I replace on ease of replacement. I did have to turn off the touchscreen capabilities because it was glitching a lot once broken but a simple google search helped me. I mainly use it for school but I also use it for everyday and I havent had any problems with performance.

I have owned my ACER Aspire 5 15 laptop for over a month and love it. No issues at all, it starts up quickly and runs smoothly. Windows 11 arrived with version 23H2 and it promptly updated itself to 24H2 without any drama. Battery life is fine for my uses and it will go 15 hours on a full charge with a balanced power profile. No doubt it would go longer with the maximum ECO settings. Note that if you need more than 2 USB ports this laptop might not be for you. I use a cordless mouse so one port is for the dongle but in my case I never need more than one USB port free for USB sticks or programming cables for other equipment. No regrets with this little ACER and everything runs fine with the I-5 processor and the 16G of memory. The 512G SSD gives me more space than I will ever use with this machine but it's nice to know that it's there. Highly recommended!

This Acer Aspire 5 Laptop (16GB LPDDR5 RAM, 512 GB SSD, Touchscreen, Win 11 Home) is a good Laptop for the average to serious business user - it is fast, good graphics capabilities, lightweight, has all the key stuff that you expect and the Touchscreen is an added bonus ..... However, a few 'cons' : My biggest grouse was with the contrast of the lettering on the keys, which was white on gray. With even the slightest light falling on it from the top or back of the laptop, the markings on the keys would be difficult to read. Lack of a USB C port was another 'con'. The relatively bulky power adapter was also not to my liking as this is not a wall mounted cube but a brick to be kept on the floor ! Setting up the Laptop was easy and I could very quickly get everything set the way I wanted to. But, I had to return this unit as there was a very unusual jarring vibrating sound from inside the Laptop when I lifted it or sometimes even when just typing on it. Seemed to be coming from the CPU Fan inside. It was not continuous, just for a couple of seconds, but couldn't take a chance and hence returned it.

This laptop is great for the value! Functions perfectly for school and work purposes. Also is great for streaming. I don't think this laptop would support a ton of games, but you can definitely still use it for more simplistic gaming. Touch screen is nice too, usually do not see that on laptops with this price range. Battery life is good too. If you need a new laptop for work, school, or just general use then this is a good pick.

I would personally avoid this laptop at all costs. It has a penchant for the mousepad to stop working for long periods of times, for no apparent reason. The charger is awful and God forbid it actually breaks because all replacement chargers do not have a snug fit and will pop out with ease because Acer decided to not use a USB-C charging port, not that the charger that came with it had a good fit to begin with but it was better. Laptop is nothing special, doesn't run better than other laptops on the market for similar prices, battery life is okay but not great. Not fast, not quite slow either but can lag heavily at times. Sound is trash, like genuinely trash. One of the worst parts of the laptop easily. Just so much wrong with it. All in all, I wish I had just gotten another Lenovo. This was a disaster of a purchase and I regret it fully. I do not think I will ever buy another Acer laptop ever. Just not worth the risk. 2/5 stars cause it actually can function at times and I think 1 star reviews should be used on things that don't actually function. Update July 2026: Laptop is basically nonfunctional and struggles to handle basic browsing. Downgrading to 1 star.

Great laptop. Lasts up to 4 hours in full use. Been using for more than 1.5 year and have no issues with it.

This Acer laptop works great for my needs, which is emails, online banking, and web shopping & browsing. I cannot comment on battery life as I always use it at home plugged in. Color is great and the price gives good value. I don't use it for gaming so cannot comment on its speed.
