This review is specifically for A515-54-59W2.Reviewed in the United States on 7 February 2020
***UPDATE 12/15/2020
The backlit keyboard has given up most of the lighting. Some of the keys seem to have spring issues and don't always return to the up position without coaxing. The Wifi, which has been pretty great, has started spontaneously disconnecting a lot (often 5-6 times a day) with no further changes to the config or router location. Contacted customer service and opened a case for them to "determine warranty eligibility" then sent me an email with an address and the instructions to ship it with Fedex or UPS, and to insure it for the value as they would not cover anything broken in shipping. This puts the price tag for sending the item back at ~$100.00. That's not what I'd call a warranty. Shouldn't shipping for warranty work be covered by a large company who can negotiate on equal footing with UPS/Fedex be expected? I've gotten better warranties than this on furniture I've ordered!
First and LAST time I will purchase Acer. HP once fixed a laptop for me for free that was 2 months out of warranty AND they sent me a shipping label!
The good:
- Backlit keyboard looks great and has a good key feel
- The screen is bright and clear, no dead pixels, blacks are good and dark, colors are brilliant.
- the hinge for the display is very stable
- The system is very easy to upgrade and it comes with a secondary hard drive mounting bracket and cable.
- M.2 primary drive!! (26 second boot time)
- the wifi has great connectivity throughout the house and is fast.
- The device is very thin and light
- Touchpad is top notch (for a touchpad)
- Battery gets about 7.5 hours of regular use (internet, updating and installing software, watching Netflix and so on) but I could see it getting to the advertised 9.5 hours with light use.
The (not so) bad:
- When setting the PC up for the first time be prepared to plug in a LAN cable for internet connectivity to upgrade the WIFI driver (the wifi could not initiate out of the box - possibly an initial windows update, no solid evidence but it worked fine for about 20 minutes, then required a reboot following initial setup and general Win10 rumblings, then could not find the access point or maintain connectivity every once in a while when it did find one.
- Has 4GB of DDR4 RAM permanently soldered to the mainboard and a 4GB SODIM installed so the upgrade option is to add an 8GB stick for 12 GB total or a 16GB for 20 total (the option I went with)
- Number Pad is a bit on the lean side.
- It comes shipped with the F-Keys set to control features rather than standard F1-F12 functionality. This is easily changed in the Bios and will never trouble you again - just weird that it comes out bucking standard protocol.
Otherwise, haven't had too much opportunity to use it (purchased for the wife - the proof will be how often she curses :)) - Will update as usage data becomes available.
Update 1 (03.27.20)
No complaints so far. Still running well and speedy. I upgraded the memory to 20gb and added the old ssd drive to it. That last part has shortened the battery life just a bit (more power draw) but not bad. Laptop gets daily heavy use and so far has held up well. No complaints.
