Acer Aspire 3 A315-56-594W, 15.6" Full HD, 10th Gen Intel Core i5-1035G1, 8GB DDR4, 256GB NVMe SSD, Windows 10 Home

We LOVE this laptop! I'll try to cover as much as I can think of because this is an investment and like most devices these days, will be a big part of your daily life. It came very securely packaged, and includes a manual and power cords- and also a nice feature are the hard drive upgrade screws (the screws are called the HDD upgrade kit ) are also included if you want to upgrade (up to 2TB!) later. The Aspire 3 is very light, and slender- easy to put in a backpack or briefcase. It has a smooth texture- we've not had it long enough to see if it gets scratches,but it seems very well made and sturdy. We will be buying a case to keep it looking fine and fancy though! The keys are nice and have a good feel, and the full-size keys are comfortable for both my kids and my husband who has big 'man hands'. LOL. Although the keyboard doesn't light up, it's not an issue for me. The 15.6 HD screen is nice and bright, and images are crisp and colorful. It does have a narrow bezel so it seems like it's bigger than it is, and it looks impressive, and is a backlit LED. It has a 'blue light shield' with 4 settings, including a 'long hour mode' to help with eye strain if you're going to be on it all day. I tried it, and didn't really notice any lowered brightness so that's a feature I'll be using often! The webcam lights up when active. It was easy to set up, and runs Windows and has dual-band WiFi 5, and seems very quick and responsive. It's got nice ports also, for Ethernet, USB 3.1, HDMI and USB 2.0, and 3.5 headphone jack. It has a Kensington lock slot too, if you're in a coffee shop, library or airport- I've never used it but it's nice to know I could if I wanted to. (You'll need to buy the cable to go with that lock if you want to use it.). I like that it has an SSD drive, 256GB but you can expand that up to 2TB if you wish. (Two places for 1TB SSDs). THe processor is powerful and everything runs really smooth and fast. The Bluetooth works great, and it easily connected to my phone and our printer. The battery is ok too, it lasted about 6 hours of fairly consistent use... it does say in the specs that it can last up to 8 hours but I have not tested that. I have not noticed anything I would change about it- I am very happy with it! All in all- it was easy to set up, is perfect for school and work, it's light, fits great in a backpack, the display looks awesome, the keys are full-sized (yay) and have a nice feel... works perfectly! We are super happy with it- for all kinds of uses from my kids' schoolwork to household and business uses. Quick and bright, lean and light! :)

This laptop is great. Very easy to use and the entire set-up was so simple, thanks to Cortana! She will guide you each step of the way. The size of the laptop fits perfectly in my briefcase, its light weight, perfect for traveling. The picture display is crisp and clear. I'm happy with the overall functionality with this laptop, my children are able to use it to without any problems.
