    Great little machine at a ridiculously low price!
    I figured 4GB of RAM would be sufficient just for day to day use. I was a bit disappointed in 128GB of storage and decided that even though it was a really nice machine for the price, for another $80 and change I could really make it fly.. if you look at my photos you can see that there's built in space for a 2.5 in SATA drive. In addition there is room to add memory and I decided to add another 8GB of RAM along with the SATA drive and 480 GB of storage. Obviously it makes a huge difference. If you look at the pictures I posted you can see that the Acer storage is depleted by half as soon as you turn the machine on. The Steve drive is the one that I installed. Plenty of storage now. The circled in red photo shows the increase in RAM... WHEN LOOKING FOR INSTRUCTIONS be aware that this model came out back in May of this year. There are very few instructional videos or written pieces to explain where this memory goes. The SATA drive is pretty self-explanatory. The only video I could find with this particular machine is provided by a user whose name is.  @Silicon Edge  you have to go to YouTube and search that name. I don't believe Amazon would allow me to post a link. It's not in English but all you have to do is watch his hands. If you try other videos you might think it's the machine you've bought until you open the back of yours and you look at the back of theirs and realize that it's different. I highly recommend temporarily taking out the screw on your right side of the battery to secure the ribbon clip. Then just readjust the battery and put the screw back in. Watch the video you'll know exactly what I mean. I love this computer. For $460 including the new ram I upgraded this machine. It would have cost me way more than that to buy it with that memory and that storage from scratch. Quick PS. I bought an HP 27 inch monitor here on Amazon and created a nice little setup. $169. You'll love the machine Don't think twice just buy it. If you want some speed, I mean real speed just upgrade the RAM and the storage. I used crucial. That's the brand name for the SATA and the RAM..... READ ABOUT THE UPGRADES..... You don't want to perform Overkill. The processor wasn't made for it. I'm no techie so I did a lot of reading before I did this.

I'm no techie so I did a lot of reading before I did this.

    I figured 4GB of RAM would be sufficient just for day to day use. I was a bit disappointed in 128GB of storage and decided that even though it was a really nice machine for the price, for another $80 and change I could really make it fly.. if you look at my photos you can see that there's built in space for a 2.5 in SATA drive. In addition there is room to add memory and I decided to add another 8GB of RAM along with the SATA drive and 480 GB of storage. Obviously it makes a huge difference. If you look at the pictures I posted you can see that the Acer storage is depleted by half as soon as you turn the machine on. The Steve drive is the one that I installed. Plenty of storage now. The circled in red photo shows the increase in RAM... WHEN LOOKING FOR INSTRUCTIONS be aware that this model came out back in May of this year. There are very few instructional videos or written pieces to explain where this memory goes. The SATA drive is pretty self-explanatory. The only video I could find with this particular machine is provided by a user whose name is.  @Silicon Edge  you have to go to YouTube and search that name. I don't believe Amazon would allow me to post a link. It's not in English but all you have to do is watch his hands. If you try other videos you might think it's the machine you've bought until you open the back of yours and you look at the back of theirs and realize that it's different. I highly recommend temporarily taking out the screw on your right side of the battery to secure the ribbon clip. Then just readjust the battery and put the screw back in. Watch the video you'll know exactly what I mean. I love this computer. For $460 including the new ram I upgraded this machine. It would have cost me way more than that to buy it with that memory and that storage from scratch. Quick PS. I bought an HP 27 inch monitor here on Amazon and created a nice little setup. $169.

    I've own 3 Dell laptops and would never have thought to buy another brand, however the day that I was due to purchase a new Dell, this Acer flashed up on my 'Amazon Treasure Truck' deals and I believed it was a sign. I'm so happy I bought it! A great deal! A great laptop! and boy am I happy! The only 'con' is it's not touchscreen but the 'pros' out balance this and are also too numerous to mention!!

    Title: Acer Aspire 5 A515-56-36UT: Great Performance with Slight Screen Glare

    I recently got my hands on the Acer Aspire 5 A515-56-36UT, and overall, I've been quite satisfied with its performance. Here's my detailed review:

    The laptop boasts a 15.6" Full HD display, providing sharp and clear visuals that make multimedia content and work tasks enjoyable. Powered by the 11th Gen Intel Core i3-1115G4 processor, it handles everyday tasks with ease, ensuring smooth multitasking and responsive performance. The 4GB DDR4 RAM and 128GB NVMe SSD provide adequate storage space and quick data access.

    One notable feature is the inclusion of WiFi 6, which guarantees a fast and reliable internet connection. This is especially beneficial for those who heavily rely on online activities like streaming, video conferences, and browsing.

    However, it's worth mentioning that I did notice some screen glare on the laptop. In well-lit environments, particularly areas with bright overhead lighting or sunlight, there can be a slight reflection on the screen. While it didn't significantly hinder my overall experience, it's something to consider, especially if you frequently work in brightly lit spaces or are sensitive to screen glare.

    In terms of build quality, the Acer Aspire 5 is sturdy and well-constructed. The keyboard is comfortable to type on, and the trackpad is responsive and accurate. The laptop's slim design and lightweight nature make it easily portable, adding to its convenience.

    Regarding software, the Acer Aspire 5 comes with Windows 11 Home (S Mode) pre-installed, providing a streamlined and secure user experience.

    To summarize, the Acer Aspire 5 A515-56-36UT offers great performance and features. While there is a slight issue with screen glare in bright environments, it doesn't overshadow its overall capabilities. If you're in need of a reliable and efficient laptop for your daily tasks, this model is definitely worth considering.

    Purchased Acer laptop after a treasure truck alert for @ $300. The first one bluescreened after about a week of use. Restored to factory settings then updated and it blue screened a second time. I contacted Amazon and requested a replacement which was done very quickly. Received a replacement laptop and it again just after 2 days of use bluescreened again. I again per its instructions reset to factory specs, updated again and again... it blue screened. So that normally means there's a flaw with the equipment. This time I requested a refund for that laptop and just chose a much better laptop which costed much more. I promptly return the laptop, got the confirmation it had been returned in the system per Amazon. Unfortunately Acer has not yet updated the refund request after at least 2-3 weeks that it had been received back in and checked. I also have not received any correspondence from Acer of the status of this issue. So be veeerry careful about that particular Acer laptop and the customer service issues with Acer. I've purchased Acer products previously without any issues and the replacement equipment I again purchased an Acer which I've had no issues with. But this isnt a very comforting response I'm getting from Acer's customer service.

    **Updated 05/09/22** After I reached out to an Amazon representative they immediately offered a full refund. The representative was very helpful and within minutes the refund was processing.

    Generalmente Acer no suele resaltar a la hora de nombrar las mejores marcas de Laptop del Mercado, pero con esta Laptop Aspire 5 hicieron un gran y excelente trabajo con este equipo que se ofrece a un precio muy accesible y se nota está diseñada para el futuro. Es perfecta para hacer trabajos ya sea de oficina, de diseño y para las clases en linea, si quieren una Laptop para jugar videojuegos esta no es ninguna opción para eso.

    Posee un buen tamaño y es bastante ligera, cuenta con teclado numérico pero lamentablemente se trata de un Teclado en Inglés, eso significa que la letra Ñ no está en el teclado y obliga a aprender un poco sobre donde está ubicado cada simbolo en el Teclado si lo usas en Español.

    Como mencioné la Laptop está pensada a futuro, esta se puede abrir para añadir mas memoria si consideras que los 4GB de RAM que posee no es suficiente y permite además insertar un segundo disco duro por si consideras que los 128 GB que posee por defecto no son suficientes, por cierto la unidad de almacenamiento principal es una unidad NVME lo que garantiza un arranque casi inmediato al encender el equipo. Por cierto dentro de la caja del equipo viene incluido unos tornillos para instalar la segunda unidad de almacenamiento, lamentablemente no vienen instrucciones para hacer la instalaciones y hay que buscarlas en Internet.

    Con tanto positiverío debería haber algo negativo, la pantalla fue lo que menos cuidaron a la hora de diseñar este equipo, la calidad y nitidez de la imagen no es tan buena y para los que trabajan en diseño se les dificultará un poco trabajar por el poco rango de color que posee la pantalla, no es mala pero si toma tiempo en adaptarse. Por otro lado el equipo dice tener Alexa integrado, pero no encuentro como usarlo y lo único que veo de la función de Alexa es que en la pantalla de bloqueo me avisa si algún paquete de Amazon va a llegar durante el dia.

    NOTA: Es una mentira que viene con Windows 10 instalado, cuando me llegó venía ya con Windows 11 instalado y nunca me dio la opción de regresar a W10, tuve que descargar la herramienta de instalación que Microsoft ofrece en su sitio web para no perder la licencia, tomen eso en cuenta si no les gusta Windows 11 y no quieren perder tampoco la licencia al instalar W10.

    Though the product is American and service support (for a very minor issue) was not available during warranty, the product was sleek and good. Good ventilation. No overheating even after hours of video watching or on-line lectures.

    This is the worst screen I've ever used on a laptop. It looks too cheap. After coming from a Macbook Pro I tried this laptop for a little coding and I just can't do it for more than 2 hours. I have to use it with an external monitor

    Good quality for the price. Easily more than 8h of battery life doing everyday use on it. I am not disappointed.
