- Unboxing and giving my first impressions of the Acer Aspire 5, but with an Intel chip inside with an interesting SKU. AMD Version might be the overall better machine.
This is the Acer Aspire 5 A515-56-36UT

This is the same guy that reviewed this a couple years back and said it was ALRIGHT smell was good crazy how he changed
Right. I'm so confused
yes super confused. He was fine with the Acer Aspire 5 on a previous review and now he says it's bad.
Well they do smell good.
Pretty sure this one’s the intel version, whereas the last on was AMD
@@dijasr8487 Yeah dude is special. What's with the smelling? Eww, weird.
Happy you reviewed it I spent days searching around for this laptop
LOVE your reviews! Great work. You cover a lot of great details and also have fun. Very engaging. Just discovered you yesterday and subscribed.
Is it good for programming languages like java ,c++,python also can it run MATLAB 2022, Microsoft vusial studio and some android emulators
then which laptop is best in this price range?
please answer
brilliant video what a refreshing change keep going
With an IPS panel and an Intel Wireless card this would have been fine for the price.
100%
Thanks for the review. Plenty of folks just need a cheap laptop for basic tasks, so it's good to know which ones to avoid and which ones are worth it.
A cheap laptop is one thing. A inexpensive quality laptop is another. I LOVE Acer, and have bought 8 computers from them in the last 7 years for myself and family through their Acer Recertified Store.
That includes 2 - 7yr old ones that supposedly didn't meet Windows 11 requirements and had no problem upgrading to W11. Even the more recent W10's that say they won't upgrade on Acer's site have upgraded just fine.
Few are returns for a problem that are then fixed and recertified. Only 1 of mine seems to have been and it came with an upgraded and faster processor than advertised.
Many large businesses buy new computers every year and return the used and unused ones for credit.
@@gregwhite5369 acer makes truly horrendous products, but at the same time make incredible products through my experience. Like my Acer Chromebook CB3-111 had solid build quality, whereas the Aspire E5-521/571 had terrible build quality and their hinges broke in the exact same spot. I also got a new spin 3 sp313-51n which is the best laptop hands down for the price I got it at.
Lots of empty space because making the battery bigger would make the laptop cost more which they're trying to avoid on a budget machine. 53wh is actually really good at that price
to be honest, manufacturers should make a low powered machine with a pentium processor and add a humungous battery so that it lasts twice as long as the macbook air, I think that would be a good selling point
Thanks man for your honesty
Why do you keep smelling laptops 💀💀
Love the videos, my wife uses Macs but I wonder, would you use a laptop like this or a workstation laptop that was refurbished and had former flagship specs for the same price? For home or local usage only I have other things that I use for travelling?
BY the way your video is stolen my heart ❤️
Acer 317 chromebook review (just purchased this and the speakers are weak).
-San Francisco fan girl
Any recommendations for a 15 inch chromebook with touchscreen, backlit keyboard & full hd?
I only have 2 laptops now. An acer spin chromebook for the kids and an macbook air m1 for the serious work.
Yea, selling mine... very hard to see keyboard or backlighting. Heavy
Thankyou ❤
Usb C without Display port and Power delivery are useless. In their swift line it has all that, why they dont install this interfaces here?
What do you recommend for a laptop under $500 in 2023
I think Windows required updates because you opened up the laptop. 🙃
Thank you Dayo. I was planning on purchasing the Aspire 5 because its on sale in bestbuy (except it has the i5 core processor). After watching your review I won't be.
There are other issues apparently with it. As well as the bad display, the laptop has thermal issues and loud fan noise which is a big no no for me.
Hi, Johnny S. What you've bought instead of aspire 5 then ?
@@johncall9686 Lenovo Thinkbook 15
No idea what your talking about. I have no problems with mine
Hi bro can u pls tell if the laptop is still working correctly pls, I'm thinking of buying it @@gregwhite5369
The thermals this laptop carries is atrocius even at 50% cpu usage it reaches 90 degrees for just youtube playback dont buy this.
Is ACER Aspire 5 A515-58M-5164 a good laptop?
Bro, I lmao with you smelling the laptop...lol
😅😅
Dose the acer aspire come with a mouse and if not what is a good mouse to buy
razer deathadder essentials
Well, props for subjecting yourself to the very bottom of the barrel to entertain us. Products like these are why people hate computers.
That’s a bot it is a scam don’t trust it
i just got this for a 9th grader who wants to run fl studios on it, did i make a mistake? he asked for this one so i hope it works out for him
Does this one have bluetooth now?
I advise you to evaluate the Dell computer as it is much better than acer
I got an aspire 3 the sound is also horrible.
Smells the packaging????
10:06 LOL
yoo my guy doubting Mediatech 😅
This is i3 model not i5 🙏
Core i5 1240p or ryzen 5 5600h
Which is better?

Ryzen in literally every way
Great video, thanks! 💜
I’m still impressed, knowing this laptop is only around $370 (after taxes) including a Windows license.
It’s probably not the most sustainable (in many respects) laptop though. So don’t buy new crappy stuff. Buy used less crappy. For a bit more you can get a really nice used i5 or i7 MacBook that will beat this toy on so many levels. And it might actually outlive it, especially when you run OCLP to squeeze out a couple or two of extra years of system updates.
Wait where did you get it for only $370? Ive only seen it retail for $650-700 in the US/Canada
u know what buy the same one but 2022 with ryzen 5 amd radeon which is more powerfull then a macbook i have the ryzen 5 it runs val on 120 fps
@@EAdiecast But let’s not mention the battery life on that machine. 🤫 If it performs that well on battery power to begin with…. 🔌
Is buying this for $187 worth it?
that's definitely a steal. just make sure it's from a trustworthy seller and is in good condition.
@@bagel011 I got a Asus Vivbook slim laptop with Intel core i3 11th gen, 4gb ddr4, 128gb for $163 instead
You could ditch windows 11 and install Linux on the computer. I use Ubuntu 22. The user experience is so much better than windows 11
Also pretty sure the laptop was paging with the 4gb of ram on the computer which is too low. It is not the processor or ssd causing problems. If you pop in a 4gb or 8gb stick of ram in the laptop into the spare ram slot, the performance will be better
screen is an ABSOLUTE let down... Based on that, it's a big no :(
windows is becoming unusable. all that extra setup time is them installing candy crush
The moment you started to smell this laptop I didn't want to continue watching. Get a life.

We get it you hate Acer, in all my many years of working on PC's, and upgrading laptops I've never once smelled it LOL. I've used Acer Desktops since 1997 and never had a single issue with one. Also had an Acer Laptop for 10 years and it's still going strong, I think the problem with this laptop is Windows 11 and your lack of patience, knowing Windows is going to take time. It's not a mac book dude ha. Even my Ipad took forever to get going. But yes a CHROMEBOOK is the quickest on the market and I'd highly recommend it over THIS for only $169 on Targets website. :O). I have two HP laptops, one is 9 years old and the other i got brand new, and it's a 2016 model I5. And it rivals anything today, with my upgrades. I hate windows 11 anyway. lol
@@drummer7557 I don’t know where this animosity is coming from, at least from what I’m reading. I’ve too have had Acer laptops since early 2000s. In fact, one of my most popular videos on this channel ever IS the Acer Aspire 5, last year’s model, which I still think is better in every way possible, including the smell. Chromebooks are good since most apps are done through the browser, but entry level windows laptops need to offer more.
MacBooks are in another price tier so I don’t see the need to compare apple at all in budget laptops.
Pile of poor quality tat. Mine was not cheap either. Bought direct from Acer. Started falling apart on day one.
And people said I was being over-critical. But you could have a bad unit. Overall though, this felt a lot cheaper than Acer laptops I've tried
Hi
Well what you give is what you get😎
😎
Do you smell paper?
Spend too much time smelling the computer
Go back to your Mac and stop smelling your own smell.
someone is upset
@@DayoAworunse bru some of these commenters are animals lol, this is a good honest perspective on a cheap laptop, thanks 🤙

OK so seriously who smells their computer ???
If you don't like Windows use a Mac or load Linux. I don't know what company that makes computers to order for each person so you get one with all updates already installed. Crap you don't even get software downloads that don't need updates !
If you want all space filled up and more than 4GB's of RAM then don't buy a budget laptop. Acer sells laptops with all the bells and whistles for a few grand !
After 8 1/2 mins I'm done with your vid. Obviously you know almost nothing about computers !
People with a coke habit LOL
can u believe they sell this for 700euros black friday deal? almost 2 times the usa price, we are getting shafted in europe so hard
the aspire 5 is NOT "entry level" ..this is 3rd tier from the bottom -- aspire 3 is 2nd tier ..and aspire 1 is at entry level
Can you use 2tb hard drive on the laptop alongside the ssd?
This is not acceptable for me .... 😅🥲
