Really, the unit is now amazingly fast... I haven't seen it hiccup or lag yet. I had opted for the Intel chip version of the Aspire, as it does have a slightly faster CPU speed. I immediately opted-out of the Windows 10 "S" mode... which literally took a few seconds to do. I connected my high-speed internet to the unit via the Ethernet socket, and proceeded to upgrade all the drivers and firmware for the unit. I gave the unit a good Defrag and a Registry cleanse, and I'm good-to-go.
I mainly bought this laptop as a way to entertain myself on long airplane flights. The unit is very light and handsome... I am mystified by those who point out that the chassis is not more hip 'n' chic looking, because it looks great to me. I've also read several pro reviews online which allege that the unit is deeply flawed by a bad-looking monitor display; I absolutely don't know what they're talking about-- the display looks amazing to me: super-sharp and clear 1080p, with natural-looking colors, perfect brightness and contrast. Fonts look sharp yet nicely antialiased. A 15.6" monitor is perfect real estate to view movies on while traveling, neither too big nor too small.
I will agree with the naysayers who say that the onboard speakers are not very loud, and the sound quality is not as good as one might wish. Yep, those things are true, but hey, who expects a laptop to sound like Studio 54? Usually one will be using headphones anyway, right? When watching videos on the VLC Player, one can tweak their included graphic equalizer in order to get the optimum sound response possible.
I will soon be purchasing a mouse for this unit, as, at age 56, I never have gotten the hang of using a touchpad. I am not a gamer at all, so am not worried about the power needed to play GTA, etc. Although I will take a stab at doing 2D and 3D artwork in Photoshop and Cinema 4D and see how it goes.
All-in-all, I am very pleased with this new laptop and hope to get lots of good use out of it. At this price-point, I don't see that you can do much better. Highly recommended.
Original 12/8/19: This review is: "You get what you pay for -- but at least here you get good value for your money." It's a conventional budget laptop; it's not a high-end gaming machine; it's not the slimmest/lightest/fastest; it's not a fancy 2-in-1, no touch screen; it's not rugged enough to bang around very much. It is very reasonably priced, at least when on sale. Expectations low enough yet? ;-)
Model A515-54-30BQ uses i3-8145U CPU; 4 Gb (soldered) RAM + 1 expansion slot; 128 GB M.2 NVME SSD, plus one internal 2.5" "space" (the mounting bracket is separate in the box - more about that later). There is a slightly cheaper Ryzen model (probably a better value), and some higher-end Intel I5 models (no comment, though if you need more CPU then you probably need to move up the laptop scale to other models built for higher workloads).
Aspire 5 does appear to be a very solid build, and acceptable construction quality if treated nicely, to do typically daily tasks such as web browsing/social media, writing, light video and so on at a decent price. Very good student machine if handled reasonably gently.
Screen is pretty good; matte screen, not glossy, and colors are not exceptionally vibrant but neither are they dull or washed out. Keyboard is better than expected: good spacing and key feel, except that the up/down/left/right keys and the keypad are a bit cramped. Keyboard is backlit, which is rare at this price. Caps Lock has no visible indicator -- can be a pain when typing hidden text like passwords, otherwise not much of an issue. Stereo speakers are "acceptable", not great. Port selection is surprisingly good for the price. Battery life seems to be about 6-7 hrs of "typical" light use (no promises, no serious methodology in these tests while doing simple battery conditioning).
Wifi is better than other reviews led me to believe. I'm getting 800Mbps between floors from an Asus 86U router. Have not tested range and attenuation extensively.
Hardware Upgrades: Requires removing the entire back, which is 11 Phhilips screws (no special torq heads, etc) and plastic tabs that require a small amount of finesse but not hard. Changing the NVME SSD (system disk) is easy; I swapped to an Intel p660 1TB. I replaced Win10 with Ubuntu and Elementary OS, so didn't have to deal with moving Win10 around. Adding an 8 GB RAM is even easier than replacing the SSD, just plugs in.
But then there is that additional 2.5" SATA SSD, mounting bracket in the box. You would have to (partially) remove the Wireless card (one screw, similar to NVME SSD), and then disconnect some other lead, fit the SSD into the provided bracket and then mount that, and then tease together the power and data leads and remount the WiFi. There are videos on line that clearly walk you through it. Nothing hard, but a lot of fiddling about to add a standard SATA drive. Given a 1TB NVME SSD, I didn't bother. Yet.
I also installed LInux: Ubuntu 19.10 (test everything on relatively safe leading edge for a couple of days -- all OK) and then Elementary OS 5.1 (prepping as a gift). I've run into one odd-ball BIOS issue (reset to default values unexpectedly, easily fixed), but everything else has tested out fine. The screen dimming keys are reversed, oh my! Will update if I turn up anything untoward in the next week or so.
I compared about a dozen laptops in the $300-450 range: Asus Vivobook, Lenovo IdeaPad, Dell, HP, etc. The Aspire ticked all the right boxes, although there are many good choices atm. For personal reasons, and not liking everything-in-the-cloud, I excluded chromebooks, but those would be a good alternative for many people who just need web/social media and such.
Overall, very satisfied with the Acer Aspire 5 as a daily driver.
