Pros & Cons
Pros
Great for work and has good video quality as well as sound quality for zoom meetings etc. Light gaming is no problem. Basic to intermediate gaming, streaming, web surfing has been excellent.
This laptop comes with an empty ram slot. It is fast and great for the office and very lightweight for travelling. Added a 2tb ssd.
Cons
The pre-loaded windows 11 home often disconnects me from wifi for no reason. It is especially noticeable when entering a double digit where only one digit will record sometimes. The worst problem is the arbitrary self-rebooting.
I am bummed to say the least. Considering the multitude of positive reviews, it feels like i hit an incredibly unlucky streak! Even worse, downloading a pdf form takes 10 freaking seconds or more.
Built in speakers are under the laptop, so depending what you set it on they will likely be muffled on top of the poor output from them to begin with. Attempting to trouble shoot this issue by cycling through the various audio outputs does not resolve... Read More
The laptop runs slow out of the box at 8gb — upstaging the ram will help. I get a good 7 hours of on screen time, but that is with the exclusion of playing games or streaming videos. This laptop is not for a casual laptop user.

The laptop is lightweight and very durable.
Aspire 5 is thin, light and reasonably fast but: sound volume is low and it has crashed and rebooted a few times under multiple open tabs.
The screen is more than adequate for streaming videos, and the processor does not get overloaded easily, staying quiet most of the time.
Price
I love this computer for the price.
This is a steal of a deal considering the price at the time.
I got this acer aspire 5 a515-45-r74z on sale for $464.
At this price point, it's a bargain.
Shipping
Faster and lighter than previous ones, and has worked great for the 10 months i've owned it.
Competitiveness
At this price point this laptop literally cannot be beat intel has nothing on this, maybe their newest generation could tackle this one.
If you're looking for the best budget laptop for all around use this is it.
It is advertised as ryzen 5 5500u (6 core) but it came with a 7520u (4 core).
