acerAspire Go 15 Slim Laptop | 15.6" Full HD IPS 1080P Display | Intel Core i3-N305| Intel UHD Graphics | 8GB LPDDR5 | 128GB HD | Wi-Fi 6 | AI PC | Windows 11 Home in S Mode | AG15-31P-3947

This isn't the best PC laptop in the world, but likely one of the best PC laptops out there in the low $200 range. I ran it through a Passmark CPU benchmark and scored an 11,500 while attached to the charger which is quite impressive for this price range. I ordered this specifically for light duty use, and to replace a 14 year old Core i7 Dell Latitude that I ran HP Tuners software on to tune my hot rod. This Go 15 runs Win 11 Home very well. The first thing I did was take it out of S mode, deleted bloatware and other Microsoft apps that I will never use. After cleaning it up and updating it, I am thoroughly impressed with this PC, and how smoothly it actually runs. Especially since it was under $240 total with tax. The battery life seems great. I am certain it is severely lacking in battery in comparison to higher end laptops, but for what it is, 8hrs is excellent IMO. This is a huge upgrade over my old laptop, and I couldn't be happier with the purchase.Don't get me wrong, this is an entry level laptop for sure. If you game or heavily multi-task, get something with a more powerful processor and graphics. If you are a light user and want something that you can take with you, easily browse, easily stream video and hook up to a large TV... This will work well for that for sure.

Great value for the money. For regular spreadhseet, file moving, 30 tab open chrome use, it works flawlessly. Also, I didn't know it comes with an adaptive screen, but it's super easy on the eyes when switching between a dark screen to a white screen, it starts darker and then brightens over the course of a few seconds so it's not a shock. Keyboard is spaced pretty good for it's size and touchpad/click buttons are 9/10.

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.

Very simple to set up with available Wi-Fi. It does take several hrs to download windows 11 but that’s ok. The acer aspire laptop has a nice feel to it and is much lighter than my previous hp laptop. Overall I’m really satisfied with it. And the price too!

Great laptop. The 16GB of RAM and i7 processor really make this a great laptop - very fast. So far, the battery life seems to be very good and the heating issue I noticed in the previous model (2021) is not apparent. The lighted keyboard is very helpful. Display quality is superb!

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!

Excellent laptop at a good price. The touchscreen is crisp and this machine is fast. Battery life is great.

I got the laptop on black Friday for $200. For this price, it's great. My only complaints are this. It comes with Windows 11 S mode which sucksss. Fortunately, there is a way to remove S mode and go back to the regular Windows 11. It's a bit tricky, but a couple YouTube videos should do the trick. Also, the speakers aren't great. Which is to be expected for the price, but still a bummer for me because I like to watch YouTube on here. Other than that, this computer is a great deal for $200. Good build quality, pretty fast processing speeds, and DDR5 ram which is a pleasant surprise for the price. I wouldn't pay full price though. Best to wait for a deal to come around.
