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 like the faded blue background, just seems friendly in a way

Man they have some tech reviewers on YouTube that call themselves a " tech channel" and dont even go in depth as this guy goes.

2:53 Thought you were gonna say, "It bothers me that the dang stickers are crooked!!!" hahaha (because that bothers me).

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.

Thanks for bringing in budget stuff :)

If someone's interested, I'd wait for the Ryzen 4500U version, the difference is massive.

Windows "S" mode, stands for Stick it to the Customer...

What was up with the webcam's frame rate?

I like the Acer Aspire. It's decent for the price. When I bought it for $249. The Acer has two RAM slots, the Motile has one.

Should you really be installing Valorant on review machines?

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.
