Acer Aspire 5 (14-Inch, 2020)

Decent Core i5 CPU ; Comfortable keyboard ; Cheaper than rivals ; Good connectivity

Mediocre build quality ; Feeble screen ; Middling battery life

Snappy CPU performance for the money ; Straightforward design, with no major build flaws ; Pleasing keyboard with basic backlighting ; Plenty of ports, including Ethernet and USB-C

All-plastic design may be too plain for some ; Some flex on lid and deck

The Acer Aspire 5 is a no-fuss, general-use laptop with a simple design, a generous port selection, and Ryzen 7 pep. It lacks any standout aspect or feature, but it does the job well at a reasonable price.

Fine upgradeability;Very good thermals;Appetizing price tag;Decent battery life;Can be configured with very capable hardware

Our unit was a bit underwhelming when it comes to the GPU performance;No SD card reader

Fast performance, very good value for money.

Speedy, looks great.

Thought I was just unlucky with the first laptop, the screen would go black and it would shutdown. It was very random and did 2-3 times a day. Retailer replaced it but the 2nd one did exactly the same.

every thing works well and fast

So light and the set up was very straight forward

At first sight the charger connection seemed very loose but you just need to put it in firmly then it is very secure

Small and compact . Light in weight

Keeps freezing and then struggles to shutdown
