Is the Acer Aspire 5 good for students?

Yes. The Ryzen 5, SSD and matte screen cover writing, browsing and video calls. The 8 GB of RAM is the main limit if you run many apps at once.

Can I upgrade the RAM and storage?

RAM can go up to 16 GB, which is the most useful upgrade for multitasking. The 512 GB SSD can also be swapped for a larger drive.

Only light ones. Radeon integrated graphics handle older and casual titles at low settings, not modern demanding games.

Yes. The fingerprint scanner supports Windows Hello sign-in, which owners describe as quick.

It offers more ports, including Ethernet, and a fingerprint reader that some rivals lack. RAM and display quality are similar across this class.

It includes Ethernet along with the usual USB and HDMI connections, so it works with wired networks without an adapter.
