Pros & Cons
Pros
The acer aspire 5 is powered by the 11th gen intel core i3-1115g4 processor. The laptop comes with windows 10, which is in s-mode and will need to be updated if you want to run applications, not from the windows store. Linux installs a grub boot scree... Read More
Cons
Poorly, cheaply constructed product. Now i know why it was a special deal on the “treasure truck,” or as i call it, the garbage truck. Congrats to all the reviewers who have had better luck than i have with this massive disappointment.
The screen glitches out constantly. I'm sure acer knew of this issue and is not honoring any repairs. It crashes way more than i'd like. It says no webcam is detected.
Despite the i3 cpu, this machine runs very hot, and vents the exhaust straight downward. Gets hot quickly and is noisy when trying to run video programs. Less than 30 minutes of plugging in the cord gets very hot.
The volume is disgustingly low. My iphone's speaker is louder at 25% than this laptop at 100%. Sound is inadequate.
Highlights
Quality
The quality is better than the price.
In terms of build quality, the acer aspire 5 is sturdy and well-constructed.
I think the built in speakers are not good but i have good quality outside speakers and earbuds so it's not a big problem.
Price
Currently, the price is about what chromebooks are going for - the equivalent of dell is $100 more, as of writing.
I bought this laptop due to its price.
Shipping
For the cost, it is fast as well.
Competitiveness
I'm not a techie by any definition.
Here's my detailed review:the laptop boasts a 15.
