I had acer laptop before and aspire r15 seems to even better with speed and touch screen . I highly recommend this laptop

This laptop is very easy to use. The backlit keyboard comes in very handy for using laptop wherever I need to. I use as a tablet with the touchscreen a lot.

I bought this laptop when my 6 year old one decided to die out on me. I was in the market for a 10 key that I was able to use my remote desktop to log in to my work computer. I'm not let down by this laptop at all. I'm able to work from home, do my online classes, and flip it over and watch YouTube videos at night when I can't sleep. You all won't be disappointed with the blazing fast processor, sensitive screen, and the other million features that it offers.

computer is fast, no adware to start (like HP, NEVER BUY HP), fast as well and the full HD screen is amazing.

Full disclosure: I'm thoroughly a Mac guy, but this is a computer I'd easily recommend to friends. Let's start with the body of the computer: it's a good looking computer with decent heft, but not overly heavy at 4lbs. The screen is much lighter than the keyboard/base of the laptop, meaning that when you switch to tablet mode or display mode, it's pretty unbalanced (it made me nervous enough to not want to use that feature). Being used to iPads, I'm not used to the feel of a keyboard and so much bulk in tablet mode, either - and holding a 15" laptop for this purpose is awkward at best. The keyboard doesn't retract and the touchpad is right where your hand wants to hold the thing. It doesn't "latch" into place as a tablet, so I think they're expecting you to have this on a flat surface while using as a tablet. How this doesn't cause a little concern with the spinning 5400 rpm hard drive at the same time is beyond me. Display mode is kinda weird... "for use when sharing the screen with others" because they keyboard doesn't retract in this mode either like some of the chromebooks you might have seen with this feature. Windows seems to know that the laptop has changed configuration and adapts the user interface. The location of the speakers makes display mode pretty good for watching movies and the audio on the laptop is fantastic. Easily loud enough to fill a whole room and do a decent job as a dormroom or apartment netflix streamer. The screen itself is fantastic; the touch interface is accurate, without lag, and sensitive - most apps are well-suited for tapping and web browsing was primarily where I saw the most benefit. Editing email was also a bit faster. The screen is beautiful and there's not much bevel. I wish my MacBook screen was this good (and touch sensitive). The keyboard and keypad are great; the touchpad is good but I ended up having some issues because of how I wanted to rest my hands on the computer. The feel of the keys is pretty satisfying for a laptop and backlit keys are a nice touch. The number of USB ports (and inclusion of a USB-C port and SD card) make this computer a viable contender for your primary computing platform. A minor annoyance when using the right-side port is the power button being located smack dab where you'd need to place your finger for balance to pry a USB drive out. I haven't had the computer for very long but I sense the charging cable might be an issue; it's not very thick or particularly lengthy and has multiple points of attachment across the length of the cord (the transformer box is at most 36" from the computer attachment); I'll probably pick up a second. I didn't notice much issue with battery life but I run almost all my electronics plugged in regularly. The WiFi is blazing fast and stays connected well... the moments I did have some latency were due mostly to Windows annoyances more than anything else. The computer attempts to load the usual bloatware when you first set it up; funny how those things don't really change. Windows 10 is pretty sweet (my last Windows experience was Vista). Cortana is interesting; I suspect if I had more of my technology base integrated into Windows (my phone, tablets, etc) I'd have a better basis for comparison. My one lingering complaint about this laptop is the harddrive. 1TB is great, but on a laptop which will be getting jolted from time to time (especially in tablet mode!), I really want to see a solid state drive. All in all, a solid computer for the price.

Good laptop. It has great touch screen and good battery backup

very nice PC, fast and easy to use. so much better than any HP variety, you can't go wrong. working great so far even one year later.

I have found that this computer is well worth the money. It stands up under wear and tear. and love the size of the screen. easy to read.

This Aspire R15 is probably the value leader for an Intel i5 laptop with a great looking display to boot. As far as I know, Best Buy is the only place where it's available. I've updated all the drivers and tweaked my Windows 10 install to improve performance and now its rather speedy as well. The key pad is back lit, is comfortable and even has a number pad. The laptop has 4 USB connections with one of them being a C type connection. The display is stable and stays in the position you place it. You can also see pretty good from various angles of view. The case is a platinum plastic but well made. Its reasonably light and quiet as fan noise is minimal. The power chord is appears to be plenty long. My only negative is the power chord jack that plugs into the laptop is not as robust as my previous Aspire R14 laptop. You need to be very careful with it as there exists the possibility it could get broken if manhandled. As long as your careful with it, it should be fine. All in all, Acer has done a fine job with this economy model laptop.

Wonderful for a College student. wonderful touch screen thin and light to carry on the back.

Touchscreen option is excellent. Interactive software and the speed of the processor for gaming and financial purposes are amazing.

Easy to use and works for all my needs like the way you can flip it over and still use it

Love the computer. I did not think I would use the touch screen as much as I do. I love the fact that I can use the key board or touch the screen. The only issue I have is the battery life. It does not stay charged for 8 hours as advertised. It usually does not last all day at the office without being plugged in.

Love this laptop it's perfect for my day to day use. Handles very well and has enough memory for all my files don't really have any problems with it

This laptop is just awesome for its price, i have been using an Acer laptop for 7 yrs and when i decided to upgrade, i tried out a few option but for my price range this was the best product I found. Pros - - Really good display - Keyboard is brilliant to type - Good battery life - Brilliant metallic finish on the body Cons- - Takes time to respond when turning to tablet mode by flipping the screen

This computer has fantastic battery life and has a led lit keyboard. It also has a touchscreen and can be converted to a tablet!

I bought this computer for my son. I wanted something that he could use and grow with, as he is in middle school. Really like that it has a 1TB hard drive that will enable my son to save needed items for many years to come. I like that it is a touch screen too because it makes it easy for him to use instead of having to use a mouse. I feel this is really a great product for the price.

Excellent laptop for the money. Fast processor with excellent touch screen response.

I've owned this laptop for a few months now and am very happy with it! Battery last super long and the touch screen is rad.

Just what I needed for a lower priced computer. Good speed and ease of use.
