Review is 8,8 out of 10.

Nice all-round laptop for a decent price

Price / quality is top
Starts up extremely fast
Long cord, small light transformer
Keyboard ergonomics could be better

I mainly use the Acer Aspire 5 for office applications. The excellent price / quality ratio finally convinced me: there are laptops with the same processor and hard disk, but they never have a graphics card (this laptop does). As far as I'm concerned, Coolblue has rightly labeled this laptop as Coolblue's choice: you won't find a laptop with better specifications for this money.

As expected with an SSD, the laptop boots extremely quickly. After pressing the on/off button, it takes about 6 seconds before you can log in. Top!

The laptop is flat enough (not an ultrabook, but perfectly compact) and feels quite solid. I find it a bit of a miss that one of the rubber feet is attached to a cover, which then taps a bit when I type. You can easily solve it by removing the cover, placing something soft in between and screwing it back on.

The ergonomics are decent, although I regret that the home / end / page up / page down buttons have been integrated into the top row without any gaps, so it will take a while before you can find them blindly. Furthermore, he types very reasonably for this price range.

The trackpad works fine and the buttons don't click with a loud noise as is sometimes the case with cheaper laptops. Fine.

The screen has a good color reproduction, but I would have liked it brighter in its highest position. Again excellent for the price.

Battery life is about 6 hours for office applications and browsing.

Review is 8,4 out of 10.

Phew, what a beautiful thing. That's my brand.

Start up quickly
Clear picture (Full HD)
Battery lasts a long time
Screen does not seem to be firmly attached

This laptop is very fast. It boots up quickly and can run many programs at the same time. I mainly use it for my studies (word processing, powerpoint, excel) and this laptop excels in this. In addition, watching videos on youtube or movies on netflix is possible in high quality. This laptop is therefore definitely recommended. The keyboard is also easy to operate.

Review is 8,0 out of 10.

Rap and solid, unfortunately a lot of junk

started very fast
Low noise and heat with regular use
Lots of Pre-installed software

I bought it because it combined good performance with a slightly sturdier housing than standard. Partly because I had to replace my previous laptop due to impact damage. The case also feels really sturdier. I didn't really need high performance. But I thought it would be good to take a little more that sometimes I do a game (not something that requires a high frame rate) and it seemed nice to me not to skimp through the game have to go. And that really struck me. My game (Civ-V) starts much faster and can display the game much nicer.

My order went shockingly fast: ordered on Sunday morning, received on Monday afternoon.

When I received it, I was also very impressed with how thin and light the laptop is. It was not a selection criterion but worth mentioning. Also a point of attention: you cannot replace the battery.

The start-up is really done in a few seconds. Unfortunately, the num-lock is always off. That may be another setting I need to change. (although I think it's stupid that if you special have a num-pad next to the keyboard that it can be disabled);
It is quiet and hardly generates heat when using the internet or other little graphic software. If you do have graphical games, it will start and it will get hot under the laptop. Then you have to find the right resting point if you have it right on the shot because directly below the "exhaust" it gets uncomfortably hot.

Norton and Microsoft software that bothers you to pay while cluttering your drive. I'm not asking for that, but it does disrupt the functionality of my laptop. Now I have to figure out what can be removed again and hope that doesn't screw up your boot speed.
Various pre-programmed apps to let you shop extra (store, online games > 5, ebay, netflix, booking.com, kindle, dashlane). It feels like you've paid for an advertising brochure.
Touchpad consists of one piece, looks sleek but... The corners behave like selection buttons. This makes the whole pad move when pressed and that makes me feel like the pad is loose and rattles.
Occasional hangs on the internet or other simple software (from the beginning before I added software myself). Something isn't right, but I'm still not sure what. maybe I should just keep checking for updates.
