  • Our take on the Acer Aspire 5 (15-inch, Intel Core i5)

    The Aspire 5 is Acer's mainstream 15.6-inch laptop, here in a budget Intel configuration with a 10th-gen Core i3, 4GB of RAM and a 256GB NVMe SSD. The 1080p IPS screen and Wi-Fi 6 are genuinely good for the class, but 4GB of RAM soldered at a 4GB maximum is the real limit: Windows and a browser will feel tight, and it cannot be upgraded. It suits light, single-task users — web, email, documents, streaming — better than anyone who multitasks or edits photos. Rivals at the same level usually offer 8GB of RAM and a newer processor, so check those before committing.

    What reviewers say

    Owners of this Aspire 5 tier generally find it fine for browsing, streaming and schoolwork, and like the screen and keyboard for the money. The recurring complaint is the 4GB of memory, which makes multitasking sluggish and cannot be fixed.

    What people mention
    • MemoryCriticisedOwners say 4GB runs out fast with a browser and a few apps open, and it is soldered with no upgrade.
    • DisplayPraisedThe 1080p IPS panel is called sharp and easy to view from an angle.
    • PerformanceMixedFine for web and office work, but the dual-core i3 slows under heavier multitasking.
    • KeyboardPraisedThe full-size layout with a number pad is comfortable for typing and spreadsheets.
    • BuildCriticisedThe plastic body is described as basic and flexes more than metal rivals.
    • StoragePraisedThe 256GB NVMe SSD boots and loads programs quickly.

    Questions and answers

    Can I upgrade the RAM?
    No. The 4GB is the maximum the board supports, so there is no memory upgrade path. Buy a version with 8GB if you need more.
    Is it good for gaming?
    Only very light or older titles at low settings. Intel UHD integrated graphics cannot run modern games at playable frame rates.
    Is the screen good for movies and office work?
    Yes. The 15.6-inch 1080p IPS panel has wide viewing angles and is sharp enough for documents and streaming.
    Does it have a number pad and full keyboard?
    Yes, the 15.6-inch chassis fits a full-size keyboard with a numeric keypad.
    What ports does it have?
    Gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 4.2, USB ports and HDMI for an external monitor. Confirm the exact USB count on the configuration you buy.
    Should I buy this or a model with 8GB of RAM?
    Choose 8GB unless your use is strictly one app at a time. The extra memory matters more than the processor for everyday multitasking.
    Where is the Acer Aspire 5 (15-inch, Intel Core i5) cheapest?
    At Amazon, for $538.00, as of our latest check.
