I would not recommend buying this.  I purchased in March 2020 to prepare for working remotely.  Everything was fine- it all worked as it should.  Now the built-in camera has stopped functioning properly.  It looks like it is working but there is only a black screen in the image window- for both camera and video.  On zoom calls, it looks like the video is working but there is nothing but a black screen. Open up the camera using the camera app- same thing.  Updating driver shows that the current driver is installed.  Resetting the app does nothing. Resetting privacy settings does nothing. Troubleshooting does nothing- all diagnostics indicate that everything is "working properly", no issues. One day it worked fine.  The next day it did not.  Searches on both the Acer community forum on their website and google in general show multiple users all reporting the same exact problem- and following all of the same steps, with absolutely no resolution. Chatting with Acer technical support- the best they can offer is "try a factory reset" and if that doesn't work, send it in for repair.  Which of course is impossible because the laptop is now my office for work since my company is still working remotely for the foreseeable future. So in order to send this one in to be repaired, I would need to buy a new one anyway in order to keep my job.  I've had multiple laptops over the years- HP, Asus, samsung-  all worked for years.  This is the first (and hopefully only time) that I've had one stop functioning in less than 4 months after purchase- with no viable resolution offered by the company.**EDIT-  Factory Reset fixed nothing and just made re-setting up everything that was removed a pain in the butt.  Camera is still non-functional.  Acer tech support and customer support useless.  No solution offered other than sending the laptop that I rely on every day in for repair- despite the fact that you can easily google and find the same issue reported by multiple users going back to at least 2018.  Support rep that I spoke to the second time claimed that on their system, they don't show that there are any reported issues with the Aspire 5.  SMH. Worst customer service ever.  And I'll never purchase Acer again.If I could make the rating no stars, I would . Not only did the build-in camera stop working with no apparent solution, a plug & play webcam won't work either.  Uninstall the built-in webcam and it aumotically reinstalls itself.  The P&P webcam works fine on a $200 5 yr old laptop that my 8 yr old has tortured- but won't work on this 9 month old laptop.  Whatever is causing the problem with the built-in camera (that Acer claims isn't a recognized or persistent problem on its machines despite pages of forum posts )  prevents any other camera from working as well.Edit #2-  finally gave up in the constant fiddling necessary to use this laptop. Plug & play camera I bought when the built in camera stopped functioning only works part of the time because the laptop won't recognize its plugged in.  Wifi drops without any cause (only happens on the laptop). Speaker quality has degraded to the point where I have to use headphones or a speaker to hear anything. External areas of the laptop are coming apart. Two weeks ago it wouldn't boot up- then it did and seemed fine. A few days later, opening anything took forever- browser windows, internal functions, couldn't get the shutdown menu to pop up.  Happened again two days ago. I gave up and drove to best buy to buy a lenovo. Within 15 minutes of turning on the new laptop, I realized just how terrible the Acer has overall functioned from day one.  I don't need high-end functionality- not a gamer, not a graphic designer, not running a business. I've had a number of computers from desktop to laptop that have lasted for years. This Acer was barely functional for web browsing and email.  Forget using it to stream any shows/movies/music.
