8/10 (Expert Score)

Product is rated as #11 in category Laptops

PROS:

Great price and performance
relatively good battery life
Keyboard and touchpad are very good at this price point

CONS:

relatively weak entry level AMD 3200u
cooling solution is not enough
only 1 USB 3 port and no card reader

The Acer aspire 5 is a solid budget laptop. While the AMD Ryzen definitely surprises well at this price point, the good keyboard and case make for an unpeatable offer under 500$. The only drawback here is the cooling solution, under normal work load it manages to get through, but it starts to suffer from constant thermal capping when put under constant heavy load.
