I bought it from ebay directly from Acer as a Refurb. Paid 269.00. I added a $45 16gb ram stick (20gb total now)and a $50 512ssd. And i installed Linux. This machine is a beast. I use it for all my web development. It's perfect in every way. I been using it for 6 months now.

I bought this laptop during the Black Friday sales. It was $250! I tossed a 1TB NVME drive in it and a 2tb 2.5” HDD. Also brought the ram up to 16gb. It rocks and plays most games without having to customize the settings.
I bought this aspire 5 like almost 2 years ago now. I found it a great budget laptop before any of the pandemic stuff. Easy to open and service too. Swapped the nvme drive for a larger one and added a 500gb Sata ssd. Also swapped in 16 gigs of ram in dual Channel. Was really a great deal I paid like 320 bucks when I bought it. I was trying to replace the ram In my moms laptop had a bunch of hidden screws under the rubber anti skid pads and hidden under plastic covers. Got it all opened only to realize that the ram and ssd is located on the bottom of the board, so I would have to detach all the cables, unscrew the whole motherboard, etc just to upgrade the 1 8gb stick to 2 8gb sticks in dual channel. Real pain in the ass. At least that one is running an i5 7200u so it doesnt suffer as much as from the single channel and the 8gb stick is okay enough for my moms basic web browsing and video calling.

I picked it up during prime day! Lightning deal price was 215.99. Very excited, I’m coming from an HP stream 14. It came with windows 10s, the problem being that Microsoft wanted to send out an ungodly amount of updates- it couldn’t keep up with only 32gb of storage, so i installed Linux mint. Still crappy- Lags and freezing. Today I take the thing out at school and I got a black screen upon booting. I wiped the disk and reinstalled the OS, but I’ve just had it with the thing. The HP envy Phoenix I have as my main machine is phenomenal- The stream, however, is garbage. Of course, that’s comparing a 1000 dollar computer to a 200 dollar computer. I’d just figure that the brand as a whole would be consistent in quality, but it’s fine. Extremely excited for this to arrive! I had an aspire 2920 back in the day- Built like a brick house. Hopefully this serves me well!
My mom is a writer and her laptop died ... I bought the Acer in January and installed a fresh OS on a 500gb crucial m.2 ... this laptop has been great for her and is far more responsive than her i5 haswell laptop and she loves the battery life ... couldnt refer a more budget laptop for basic tasks!!
um using the older aspire 5 with i3 7th nd nvidia mx130,nd um really satisfied for the price as it was 450$ at that time ❤️ jst upgraded the ram nd SSD nd good to go🔥
That’s what I plan to do, gonna go for the Ryzen 3 3200 version and just get a 8GB ram upgrade. I think it’ll be perfect for me cause I just wanna do some school work and watch movies and maybe play some casual games from time to time. 😄😄👍
I just bought the Acer A315-42G-R6FZ Ryzen 3500U +Radeon 540X. Came one 8gb ram stick and an empty slot. Also with a 1tb HD(wd blue, quite good actually, and the nvme slot. It was cheap down here in Brazil, I already installed another 8gb and just bought a nvme stick. The downside is the TN and just HD screen... This I'll replace eventually.
So sorry but I can't find my previous order and I don't want to give you the wrong advice. It wasn't hard to look up what type of RAM it takes and buy it on Amazon or B&H Photo Video. You can ask customer support on B&H and they will tell you the right answer on what to buy.
@@SaboSells Thank you very much. There is one thing which makes me a noise. You said 2nd SSD ... and this model laptop only has one slot... what did you mean?
You should really express that you can speed this laptop up a TON by shutting off all the background apps. I can now have like 5x as many tabs open....
I bought one for budget and the fan is almost as loud as a leaf blower 90% of the time. I also know that Chrome is quite a bit "heavier" than Microsoft Edge, but browsing is extremely slow and the fan sounds like it's desperate for life. It also gets very warm immediately. Now I appreciate my MacBook even more, when it took 2 minutes to setup and good to go, whereas this one requires you to make a Microsoft account, new email, upgrade to disable S Mode, etc. and SLOW as a snail.
I bought it the other day for 500€, although mine comes with a Ryzen 5, 8 Gb of RAM and 512 Gb SSD. Its pretty powerful given the price, light and with a big and nice screen so for me its a worth investment for my coming student years. Also if you wanna stop the bloatware create a microsoft account and then reinstall a copy of Win10 from Microsoft, it will activate a legal copy of Windows without Acer bloat. Or you can go full on Linux.
@@bsng.. I ordered the RAM sticks from Amazon. I have not upgraded the SSD...yet. I have an external 4TB hard drive AND One Drive. That has sufficed for now.. But, upgrading the SSD is a real possibility. I love this laptop. Still amazes me how affordable it is. I'm able to run graphic design software and video editing software with no problems.
I have an acer 5 slim but i spend way more than $350. Mine cost about $700 Mainly because it is an i7 with 500 gb ssd. Compared to many laptop that have the same specs its still cheaper. I dont use my laptop for gaming since I have a beast of a gaming rig desktop
I only use laptop for ADOBE CS6, MS OFFICE and for travel purposes, really. This is great, plus I'm not a fan of spending money on a expensive laptop. I use my high-end RTX2070 & Core i9 Custom Built PC for all other work. I'm currently using L502X DELL XPS Laptop, but time for an upgrade. (:
45-4800u series are dropping soon. The 4600h is the sweetspot imo. And then we have the performance behemoths 48/4900hs and 48/4900hs. Certainly exciting times to be upgrading. Unfortunately the laptops that have been announced so far are pretty underwhelming i.e no premium options. The bravo 15 looks nice but the display is probably ass. The Dell G5 with the 4800h has a decent display but knowing Dell with their budget line ups, the build quality will be fuckin awful. Idk if there will be a MSI p65 equivalent but that would surely be inviting. Zenbooks also launching with the 4700u, 16GB, solid battery, good build quality, and a good display (better than decent!) . Of course zenbooks cost $1k but you get what you pay for. Dell will make cuts. And MSI skimped out on their displays despite having room for 120 Hz for some dumb reason.
The speakers on the Acer are...wait for it...ON THE BOTTOM FRONT! THE BOTTOM!!! Cranked all the way up I can barely hear the sound. WTF were they thinking.🙄
I almost bought the 10th gen intel i5 version of this with the mx250. I'm glad I didn't after reading some reviews it only has 1 ram slot with an 8gb stick in it so it's basically maxed out already. Be careful what version you get
Motile 14' roughly the same and is only $329 at walmart right now at opposed to almost $500 for the acer 5. Plus I like the smaller compact look of the Motile.
If you were to order the Acer with an extra 4gb stick of ram and an NVME SSD it suddenly becomes a pretty decent work machine. I would imagine that such a configuration would be quite good if you were to install Linux on it.
Your link to this laptop is for a used system from a third party seller. I don't recommend buying from third party amazon sellers, the price is usually much higher.
Eh, Walmart also sells, or at least sold up to the last 2 weeks, a 14" HP (don't recall the model) with the almost exact same specs (SATA SSD, sadly), for $300, including taxes. I've used it daily for 2 weeks, and it's been a satisfactory experience.

I picked up the i3 8145U varient of the Aspire 5, on ebay yesterday. The 3200U is sold out everywhere, and very difficult to find. I wanted the larger screen size of the A5. The 8145U is actually faster in many regards then the 3200u, and also comes with USB-C, and an SD Card reader, curiously missing features on the 3200U version. The 8145U also has a little bit better battery life apparently. The biggest difference is UHD620 is about 30% slower then Vega3. I only paid 279$ for the i3 version, refurb on ebay. Similar refurb 3200u models where all over 400$. Also of note the ram is soldered on the i3 which limits the laptop to a max of 20GB ram, vs the 3200u's 32GB. I don't know why Geek Bench 64bit numbers favor the intel platform so dramatically in this case, the 8145U pulls ahead by a pretty staggering 35% on both single and multi core. There have been a few 14" motile 3200u's on ebay for 252$, but that laptop was eliminated based on it's lack of numpad and smaller screen size.
If anyone reading my comment then ill keep it short, never buy acer - i own this laptop and using it for a while now and its garbage, although it comes with sufficient graphic card and ram still you cant play games in 30fps or resolution 1020x960. if you even put RUclips video to 4k then fan start spinning, and the noise my god. its gets heated up so fast if you are keeping on your lap or on your chest while sleeping then you are done. so big no.

Couldn't agree more at least until Intel catches up but right now 100% recommend buying AMD. Because they are creaming Intel in the price to performance category
Hi , can somebody please reply and give me your review and rating. I'm looking for a fast and reliable laptop. Just tell me the pros and cons about everything. Thank you!
Hold out because AMD is planning to launch their newest line up of 4000-4900hs series. These laptops will be price way cheaper I mean AMD base line cpu's will have 8 cores. 😲😅
of course it’s gonna work better its even x2 the price, about $650. It’s the laptop I want man I’m trying to get money for it. Vega 10 graphics, 2x4 8gb ram sticks, and it runs like a beast
Could I please get some advice. I'm looking for a laptop to get into developing Unity games and to play my Steam backlog. I don't play many intensive games like GTAV or anything and don't care about the highest resolutions or frame rates. I just need something I can keep laid on my chest on a charger and mayyyybe use as a tablet. I'm completely lost so any help at all would be appreciated. Edit: Forgot to mention my max budget is $900.

is there any gaming review of this one
Sorry buddy, I’m not listening to what you’re saying. Too distracted by the racks in the background so far, I spot:
1. Cactuar (Final Fantasy series)
2 Joker (Persona 5)
I'm stuck on the rest for now...
you cant go wrong with ryzen laptops :-)
Couldn't agree more at least until Intel catches up but right now 100% recommend buying AMD. Because they are creaming Intel in the price to performance category
Would this be a good laptop to switch from controller to keyboard and mouse on gaming
Acer all in all is an okay brand, but there customer service i have read to be really bad.
According to trustpilot.
I had no issues with the custome service in Germany

Hold out because AMD is planning to launch their newest line up of 4000-4900hs series. These laptops will be price way cheaper I mean AMD base line cpu's will have 8 cores. 😲😅
@@AwesomeBlackDude Holy crap thanks, I was just about to buy this one before looking at this video
@@AwesomeBlackDude what is the best budget laptop that is good for college students.

Todd DeLozier what?

It already has an AMD Ryzen 7 4700u version. It's probably going to work better than this version. It has the same specs as the acer swift 3.
of course it’s gonna work better its even x2 the price, about $650. It’s the laptop I want man I’m trying to get money for it. Vega 10 graphics, 2x4 8gb ram sticks, and it runs like a beast
Could I please get some advice. I'm looking for a laptop to get into developing Unity games and to play my Steam backlog. I don't play many intensive games like GTAV or anything and don't care about the highest resolutions or frame rates. I just need something I can keep laid on my chest on a charger and mayyyybe use as a tablet.
I'm completely lost so any help at all would be appreciated.
Edit: Forgot to mention my max budget is $900.
How does the Ryzen 3200u compare against the M3 8100y ?
Which one's better ?
