Not worth anywhere near $600. Maybe $450 at best.

Es un equipo bastante completo por el precio, solo hay que agregarle otros 4 de ram para que habilite el dual channel y aprovechar el procesador al Max, el equipo es de buena calidad, buena pantalla, buen teclado, el lector funciona bastante bien, la batería le dura hasta 7 horas navegando, el audio tienen que configurarlo en movie para que se oiga más decente.

This newly purchased Acer Aspire 5 A515-55-56VK replaced my tired on old (but wonderfully great!) Dell XPS15Z. Overall, the Acer is a fairly nice laptop for the occasional times I use it. It’s fast, the screen is very good, and it’s fairly light in weight. That said, I wouldn’t recommend this to heavy-duty users. My primary complaint is the keyboard layout isn’t very natural: The main letter keys are positioned way to the left/top of the keyboard area which positions me away from the center of the display when typing. And the Delete key and the cursor arrow keys are rather small and kind of in peculiar positions in the keyboard layout. Also, it’s rather maddening that the Caps Lock key doesn’t have a light when in CAPS mode, which is also very frustrating. (But the keyboard IS nicely backlit, which gets some points.)
ONE OTHER MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT THE MOTHERBOARD ONLY HAS ONE (1) RAM SLOT. That one slot came factory installed with an 8GB memory module in it. So, when you want to add RAM, take special note that you’ll have to discard the perfectly fine 8GB memory module and purchase an expensive 16GB memory module to bring this laptop up to full memory capacity. That’s too bad.
I wish my Dell XPS15Z was still working. Oh well. Anyway, if I were purchasing another laptop, I’d look at the competition before selecting this Acer model, which has too many disappointing frustrations, irritations and annoyances for serious computer users.

I needed a new laptop for my work from home setup, and this offered speed, Wi-Fi 6, fingerprint reader and a backlit keyboard for a good price. The system is upgradeable – I upgraded the M.2 SSD from the standard 256 GB to 1 TB for the operating system and applications, and I added a 1 TB SATA SSD for my data, since there is a expansion space for this additional drive, and the system provides an installation bracket and ribbon cable for that purpose.
My only disappointment is that the specifications indicate that the system will support a maximum of 20 GB of RAM, and states that there is 4 GB on onboard RAM, with the rest of the RAM installed in an expansion slot that is accessible for upgrading. My system came with 8 GB of RAM, but all of it was in the module in the expansion slot, and so when I replaced it with a 16 GB module, that is the maximum amount of memory I can use with the system. It’s still a great system, and 16 GB is more than adequate for my purposes. It’s just that the published specifications lead you to believe you can host more RAM than the system is capable of hosting.

This is my third Acer laptop (other 2 are still functional) and after 2 weeks this has been a solid performer. Performs well and with WiFi 6 I am getting superb speed using 5 GHz network. Battery life has been good so far. I will say that compared to my Aspire E laptop the keyboard is slimmer, and the number pad keys and functions keys are smaller but there is nice tactile feedback on the keys and the back lighting is nice.
What has been difficult is getting proper information about configuration. Like some other reviews, my laptop came with 1 8 GB memory stick rather than a 4 + 4 configuration. So this laptop maxes out at only 16 GB of RAM, and you are limited to using only Kingston memory (per Acer and my own testing). So that was a bit of a bummer.
I was able to add a second SDD (I used WD Blue b/c of price) which is always a nice feature of the Acer laptops. This was more difficult than my Aspire E laptops but still doable. The trick is to remove the screw holding the Intel chip down so you can fully seat the connector.

Then Acer made me spend $50 to send it to them for replacement. Moral of the story – if you’re gonna buy an Acer on Amazon, pay the extra money for the protection plan, or buy a better laptop than this one. I have zero expectations for this thing going forward.

I actually have 2 of these in my home. My one son really liked his brothers laptop he decided to buy one himself. Great for gaming and they love the lighted keyboard.

2nd HD was added with supplied accessories and:
Seagate 2TB Mobile HDD 2.5″ SATA Laptop Hard Drive (7mm, 128MB Cache)
using official upgrade video of “Aspire A515-54 How to Install an Additional Hard Drive” from youtube
About 5-10 min effort
Memory was replaced from 8GB to 16GB with:
Kingston 16GB DDR4 2666MHZ SODIMM model KCP426SD8/16
About 2-3 min effort
Both accessories purchased from Amazon.
Update after two weeks: the keyboard is somewhat inconvenient, keys are small and hard to type with large hands. Also the touchpad (which is pretty good overall) could be bigger.

I haven’t seen many reviews for this particular CPU/model. I have been using this laptop to work from home for about a week now, which means I keep it plugged in on my desk and on for 8+ hours a day while I work with spreadsheets and email clients. Numerous reviews for the i5-10210 CPU mentioned the terrible fan noise and low sound quality, but I haven’t experienced either of those issues with i5-1035G1. The fan does turn on sometimes when I’m not heavily using the laptop, but it doesn’t stay on long and it’s not very loud. I play workout videos on the laptop and am very pleased with sound and video quality. For reference, I had an i3 Asus laptop for nine years before getting this one, so my standards are kind of low because my old one was so much heavier, clunkier, slower, etc. Nevertheless, this seems fantastic for what I need it to do, which is mainly to facilitate my work-from-home experience. Since it has only been a week my experience is limited, so if anything goes catastrophically wrong I will update my review. Fingers crossed…
**EDIT**November 18, 2020: Still a great laptop. No issues!
