I bought this laptop as an upgrade to my 8 year old i5 - 4200. The Acer Aspire 5 i7-10510U is so much better than my old laptop, it is amazing. The first striking difference is the Acer is far thinner, and much lighter. It seems to be quite well made, strong, rigid, with no gaps. The screen/lid fits so well it needs finger-nails to lift it away from the body of the laptop. There is a long, robust looking hinge. Lifting the laptop while open and in use, by one corner causes no distress at all - no twisting or flexing that I could detect. The keyboard is great - slightly different feel to the old one, but pleasant to type on. Some number pad...view more I bought this laptop as an upgrade to my 8 year old i5 - 4200. The Acer Aspire 5 i7-10510U is so much better than my old laptop, it is amazing. The first striking difference is the Acer is far thinner, and much lighter. It seems to be quite well made, strong, rigid, with no gaps. The screen/lid fits so well it needs finger-nails to lift it away from the body of the laptop. There is a long, robust looking hinge. Lifting the laptop while open and in use, by one corner causes no distress at all - no twisting or flexing that I could detect. The keyboard is great - slightly different feel to the old one, but pleasant to type on. Some number pad keys do double duty as 'end' & 'home', but I got used to that quickly enough. The keyboard back-light is great. The Full HD 1080 screen is sharp & clear, colours are brilliant, contrast could be greater maybe, but overall, the screen is great. With the SSD (Solid State hard drive) the laptop starts up 'fast as anything' (to quote my grandson) and the 12Gb of Ram keeps it going the same speed no matter how many programs (apps) or tabs I have open. The Touch Pad works well, although I am still getting to grips with some of the gestures. The finger print reader is in one corner, and the click buttons are there at the bottom edge - but not obvious to the eye. I have deleted one bloatware app included by Acer, but some people may find it useful. There are a few other Acer apps which are useful. This laptop is super-quiet - a faint swoosh when the CPU is working hard is the only sound, except when listening to my sounds, in stereo and high quality.
Very little to criticise - add a little dimple to help open the screen, more USB 3.1 ports (instead of USB 2.0) The price was good, the product is good - exceeded my expectations nicely during the month I've been using it. Recommended!

Runs super quiet, very customisable and great for the price. Great speakers as well for a laptop Runs super quiet, very customisable and great for the price. Great speakers as well for a laptop

I bought this laptop for school work and so far it has been very good.
If I was to make one minor con it would be the back of the laptop easily show's finger prints and marks that need to be rubbed off to go away.

Battery life good . Only drawback is display. Apt for programmers. Battery life good . Only drawback is display. Apt for programmers.

Got this and added a 1TB SSD drive (SATA port connection) for plenty of storage and fast file handling, and am not disappointed. Have trusted saver nate books for years and know what they deliver. Only feature not quite what it said one the box’ is the quality of sound through unbuild speakers. But that’s not a biggie. Great value.

An i7 with 4 cores and 8 thread capability, 12GB ram and WiFi6 ready, compared to other budget machines this seemed to have the best bang for buck.
I upgraded to Win10 Pro thru windows store. I think the worst of it is the screen quality but I can accept that due to the fact that the machine itself is fairly brisk.
Hate trackpads generally, it never responds to my finger taps first time and it has no obvious click selection buttons but in fact are hidden as the corners of the trackpad so my wife was happy to gloat about (me now being a dinosaur), got a wireless mouse to sort my way back to a better experience. Otherwise the trackpad is ok i...view more An i7 with 4 cores and 8 thread capability, 12GB ram and WiFi6 ready, compared to other budget machines this seemed to have the best bang for buck.

Otherwise the trackpad is ok if you are used to them.
Wanted a high end machine longer term but this fills the void nicely for the typical day to day stuff.
For what it is I suppose I can give it an 8 out of 10.
