Acer Aspire 5 Slim Laptop 15.6 IPS FHD 2023, AMD Ryzen 5 5500U 6 core (Beat i7-1160G7, up to 4.0GHz), 24GB RAM 1TB PCIe SSD, Backlit KB, WiFi 6, HDMI, Win 11 w/GM Accessories

I purchased this in May of 2021. It is now July 2022. Depite the low volume issue as others have stated it is fixable adding a speaker. The main reason for the 1 star is that no matter what fix is applied, this laptop constantly loses connectivity. It will usually reconnect on its own in a few seconds. But at times takes longer. It has gotten really annoying. I had an Acer 7R that was a bit slower but there were never connectivity issues.

There are a couple of bad reviews for this laptop that I just dont understand, a couple say they couldnt get it out of S mode. First I really dont see a need for S mode and there should be an option to purchase it without S mode, but I had no trouble removing S mode at all.

When you buy a computer do you think about inspecting the keyboard? Arent all keyboards universal? Dont you have an expectation of what you will get when you order a full sized keyboard? Well, give that thought up. The keyboard is close and crowded. The number pad is 1/3 the size it should be. I mean tiny!! The decimal key has been replaced by and enter key and the decimal is now in the bottom center of the keypad. Ever seen that? Every number pad operator in the world knows the pinky pushes the decimal. Not on this one!! Also, they removed the home key which I use all the time in Excel. To get HOME you have to turn off the number lock, hit the 7 key then turn the number pad back on to continue entering #s. Yep, that is not a full size standard keyboard at all and they dont care. The response from the seller was look at the picture. I cant return it and I cant live with this for the next 3-4 years. This was my 3rd and my last acer.

Everything seemed okay. Nothing that really bums me out comes to mind.

This is a great computer at this price point very fast I am impressed with the display sharp crisp clear set up easy a few minor bloatwear that needed to be removed otherwise its perfect running very smoothly quality product Recommend this seller

I bought this laptop for my son, who is starting his college adventures.

This was the best option for its money. Everything works as explained. Couldn’t find any defects for now. Strong and fast. Happy with the purchase.

Very easy to operate and perfect size.

This thing is great for playing games, nothing to heavy like call of duty but other games like Fortnite, 7 days to die, and things like that
