Our take on the Acer Aspire 5 (15-inch)

The Acer Aspire 5 A515-43 is a 15.6-inch budget laptop with a Ryzen 3 3200U, 4 GB of RAM and a 128 GB SSD. It stands out for the price class: a full HD no-glare screen, backlit keyboard, fingerprint reader and USB-C, HDMI and Ethernet ports at 4.1 lb. The 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB drive are the weak points, and both are upgradeable. The best new price is $427 at Walmart as of November 5, 2026, which is high for this configuration; comparable Aspire 5 models with 8 GB of RAM often sell for less.

Questions and answers

Is the Acer Aspire 5 A515-43 worth buying at $427?
Only if you need it now and plan to upgrade. At $427 as of November 5, 2026 at Walmart, it costs more than many Aspire 5 models with 8 GB of RAM and a larger SSD. Check those before paying this price.
Can I upgrade the RAM and storage?
Yes. It has two SO-DIMM slots and supports up to 16 GB, and the 128 GB SSD can be swapped for a larger one. Adding 8 GB of RAM is the single biggest speed improvement.
How does it compare with the Ryzen 5 version?
The Ryzen 5 model has four cores and is noticeably faster for multitasking and light gaming. The Ryzen 3 3200U here is fine for browsing and office work but not for heavy use.
What is the battery life really like?
Acer rates it at 8 hours, but owners typically report 5 to 6 hours of mixed use. Expect less with the screen bright or video playing.
What comes in the box?
The laptop, a power adapter and paperwork. No mouse or sleeve is included.

Budget laptops like this drop during back-to-school and Black Friday sales. Set a price alert and compare against 8 GB configurations before buying.
