CPU: i3-1115G4
Capacity: 15.6-inch
Style: Notebook Only
This is an economy laptop that is marginally better than the average Chromebook. Do not expect it to run the latest games or any graphically intensive applications. With that stated, I am utilizing these at a non profit charity that which mostly utilizes cloud based applications. These computers work very well at this task while providing the future proofing of being Windows 11 compliant. We are replacing ACER Aspire E15 series laptops with this model. The E15s were mostly generation 7 & 8 I3 and i5 models with SATA III SSDs and 8GB of RAM. The NVMe drives are much faster than the older SATA III drives. I miss the extra RAM, but not enough to crack open these cases for upgrades. My volunteers appreciate the lighter weight and slimmer size. I don't remember the last time we actually utilized an optical drive or card reader which were lost with the slimmer case. These have smaller batteries than our older models. That coupled with the CPU and RAM workload increase, means that I anticipate 5 - 6 hours of battery life utilizing basic cloud based applications. Streaming movies or playing basic games will decrease the life more. Non CPU intensive desktop productivity software should increase the battery life. The power port is proprietary so you will need to carry the brick and cords if you need more battery life during your day. From an IT prospective, this is a blessing due to the number of infected USB C chargers that have begun popping up in public spaces. Most of the volunteers in the organization are older and greatly appreciate the larger display size. There is no touch display option. The maximum resolution is 1920x1080, but the overall quality does not keep up with mid level or elite laptops. The viewing angle is about 120 degrees from the side and less from the top. Graphics performance is low. The colors are not as rich and the contrast is not as dynamic as better displays. This does include HDMI 2.0. I do not think it could drive a display with higher resolution very well though. It is fine for plugging presentations in to a projector or large display. I do not see much improvement on this display vs the 2017 - 2019 ACER E15 series laptops these are replacing. The webcam is basic. The speakers are small and face down. There is a single microphone. If you speak on calls, a headset is a must. If you listen on calls, this is adequate provided your space is quiet enough for the small speakers. The overall sound quality is a compromise between value and quality leaning heavily on value. The keyboard is textured. It is not backlit. There is not indication that Caps lock or Number Lock are engaged. So far, I prefer it to the usual flat chiclet keyboards that haunt modern laptops. The key response is good. The number pad keys are smaller than the regular keys and some of the buttons are not in standard 10 key locations. The keyboard also does not use the standard inverted T for the arrow keys. This is either a learning curve or an annoyance depending on the user. Time will tell regarding dust and foreign debris issues and how difficult it is to change a key, switch or the entire keyboard. The touchpad is large enough to cover the display area adequately. It is sensitive enough to cover tap clicking or actual clicking depending on user preference. I do miss the button that disables the touchpad to eliminate palm pressing, but that disappeared with optical drives on every computer. The ports are great. This laptop has 2 USB 3.2 and one USB C on the left side, and one USB 2.0 on the right side. It also has gigabit ethernet and HDMI 2.0 on the left side and a headphone port on the right side. The SD card reader has disappeared to no big loss. Many of my volunteers prefer corded mice and happen to be right handed. A USB port on the right side is really nice. The power port is proprietary since this is USB C instead of Thunderbolt 3/4. That is a nice range of current and future connectivity. The average user will not need to utilize a dock or USB hub with this laptop. The WI-FI supports both 2.4 and 5.0 Ghz protocols. It maxes out at WI-FI 5 speeds. The built in ethernet port is gigabit which maxes out at 125mbps. Both are adequate for streaming, web browsing, email, and basic Internet use. Most home networks are gigabit so this slots in very well. I was able to maintain transfers at 2.3GBe with a USB 3.2 to 2.5GBe adapter. There is no wireless upgrade option. You can access the main board and components with nothing more than a 00 Phillips screwdriver. There is a single RAM slot and it utilizes NVMe 3.0. The base model is a little light on both RAM and storage, but for a workstation, it is adequate. For a more power user, you can upgrade both, which is nice and becoming rare in most laptops. The NVMe drive is not heat shielded nor is it installed in a place with good airflow. I would not be surprised to encounter heat throttling during periods of heavy use. The overall drive life may be compromised as well. Time will tell. There are no additional unused SATA, PCI, or NVMe ports for expansion. You cannot upgrade the CPU and there is no expansion port to add discrete graphics. No surprise there. I immediately exited Windows S mode during initial setup. Any program that won't allow a user to even utilize a different browser, isn't right for me. This may be nice if you are attempting to keep users away from applications and websites of questionable origin but our desktop software will never be listed in the MS store and our cloud based software is not stable in Edge. The bottom line is that this laptop is designed for non power users and companies looking for a laptop that is more powerful and less controlled than the average Chromebook. If your user experience is surfing the Internet, streaming videos, checking email, and running software that will never be listed in an App Store, this is a great option. If you want to play games, or edit video or graphics, this is not the right choice for you. Based on previous ACER experience, we anticipate 5 years of service out of these which is a great return of investment.

CPU: i3-1115G4 8GB
Capacity: 15.6-inch
Style: Notebook Only
This review is for the Acer Aspire 5 A515-56 (8GB, i3-1115G4) edition. According to the box label, it was manufactured July of 2022. It came with BIOS version 1.28 installed which makes sense as that came out on 2022/05/27. There are four newer BIOS versions with the latest being 1.34 published on 2023/05/12. The BIOS does not have the ability to install .bin files directly. You will have to update via Windows or a DOS booter/flasher utility. I have not booted Windows 11 at all. I immediately installed my own 2.5" SSD (A 500GB Crucial MX500 that I had already) in the empty drive bay. Some reviewers have said you are stuck with Windows 11. This is completely false. You will however have to disable Secureboot in the BIOS in order to boot off a USB installer before it will let you do anything but run Windows 11. To do this, you must first set a password for Secureboot. Then you can disable Secureboot. Then you may clear the password. It's really not hard at all. I am running the latest Linux Mint XFCE edition, and I'm very pleased with the hardware compatibility. Everything is working as it should. Make sure you leave compositing enabled or you WILL get screen tearing when you watch videos. I have not had any issues with slow speeds or disconnections with the Mediatek wifi. I do recommend disabling power saving though for optimal performance. It will impact battery life, but odds are you want wifi on anyway, right? I haven't touched the built-in m.2 slot 128GB nvme drive other than to check its SMART stats for failure and hdparm to test speed. It looks like a fast little drive, but my plan is not to use it until I'm 100% sure this laptop will last. If something goes wrong, I can remove my 2.5" drive and return it without any fuss, because the Windows OS has nothing on me. For that reason, I won't try to update the BIOS anytime soon either. Maybe in a year. The screen is adequate. It's 60hz, 1080p, and bright enough not to be straining at full. The trackpad is one of those painted styles with no buttons. It doesn't track your fingertip very well at all which is annoying but it works. The worst part is that there is a defined "middle click" zone between the left and right sides. This drove me crazy because middle click defaults to CLOSING windows and tabs. What a terrible default setting. Fortunately it's easy to remap (in Linux anyway) so problem solved. The sound is pretty terrible but that's virtually all laptops. I don't understand why the laptop market suffers so much from bad sound in the era of video viewing and music listening. Who DOESN'T want great sound out of their laptop in this day and age? Headphones get annoying and don't work for 2 people watching something. Fortunately, Linux lets you crank beyond 100% out of the box without installing extra EQ tools. I find I can often go up to 125-150% without distortion or clipping. You can also get boosted volume out of most decent media players. No matter what you do though, you will not hear any bass. Again it's terrible, but even $1000 gaming laptops are equally as lousy with built-in speakers. I paid $300 for this, and I'm happy with what I got. The fact that it has 3 USB type A and an RJ45 means it's a real computer and not just another "mobile device". I can attach my mechanical keyboard, my wireless mouse, and still have 1 free USB-A slot for a flash drive, external drive, or older smartphone. The RJ45 means I can plug into a router if wifi isn't working or I need to configure network hardware directly. An SD card reader might have been nice, but that's something I don't mind using a usb peripheral for. I really think at this price point nothing else compares. The i3 has only two cores, so I feel the need to keep hyperthreading enabled. If it was a quad or higher core, I'd disable hyperthreading as a hardening measure. I hope this review helps others make a decision. If something goes wrong with this thing hardware wise, you can expect an update to this review within days. 👍
