Suffers from the same faults as the previous Aspire
I've been using it for several days now and it's the second Acer Aspire I've bought and I have to say I regret my choice.
The Acer Aspire 5 A515-56 notebook with Intel Core i5-1135G7 processor, 8GB RAM and 512GB SSD is powerful and productive. Ideal for the demanding home user, it is efficient and versatile.
Its powerful processor and dedicated graphics card allow you to take advantage of its high screen-to-body ratio. As you'd expect from a laptop of this calibre, it also has fast Wi-Fi and plenty of storage and memory.
Enjoy a colourful Full HD IPS display thanks to its slim frame and 81.61% screen-to-body ratio. To further enhance visual appeal and protect users' eyes, this display features Acer Color Intelligence technology.

I've been using it for several days now and it's the second Acer Aspire I've bought and I have to say I regret my choice.
I am very pleased with the quality of the product and the price. I am very pleased with the price and the quality of the product and the quality of the service.
My son was looking for a laptop for his entry into higher education.
He chose this Acer Aspire 5 model because it met all the criteria he had set himself.
All components are of the latest generation.
The 15.6-inch LED display (which is large enough for a student) is in FHD with an IPS panel.
Intel Core i5 processor of the latest generation (11th).
512 GB SSD (the right capacity) with M.2 - PCI-E NVMe interface.
Wireless network in Wi-Fi 6 AX (better than Wi-Fi 5).
Very good battery life.
Robust chassis and low weight (1.65 kg), which is important for mobile use at home or in higher education.
In short, he was very happy and my advice, combined with what he wanted, made this the best value for money choice.
The high level of technical detail on the website and the availability information made ordering easy. I'm very pleased with the quality of the product and the service.
This PC is fast in execution, light, the autonomy is good. The charger is well thought out.
Perfect for family, school and telecommuting.
