Ok, so after ALOT of reviewing I decided to go with the Acer aspire 5 slim, read the reviews, checked online and the bang for buck was the best I could find.Got the Laptop swiftly like Amazon knows to deliver and opened up the box.So here are my impressions after 3 days of use (I will update my review after several weeks):Build quality&design:Acer design is pleasant, Business oriented but somewhat dull. The build seems ok, sturdy enough for general use but I would be careful not to drop the thing. the size is significantly bigger then my 14inch dell, so consider buying a protection sleeve for it, But for a 15.6inch laptop it's pretty light, so good for travel.Screen:The IPS screens delivers nice display, nice colors and sharpness. the brightness is more then enough for using during daytime, but not in direct sunlight or very sun lit rooms. The bezels are thin, but the screen is warping if you move it with your hands. All in all a nice HD display, nothing fancy.Touch&keyboardThe touch pad is in a good size, ok accuracy but not needle precision. The multi fingers gestures works great.The keyboard is Chiclets style, has nice feedback and feel. But...NO indicator for CapsLockNO indicator for NumLockNO indicator for touchpad lockAnd the Home, End, PG Up, PG Down are on the NumPad so If you use them, it will be annoying to turn the NumLock off every time.The Backlight keyboard is great, But... It turns off automatically after 8 seconds and you can't change this setting. Why? only Acer knows the answer for that.Also, when you plugin the Laptop to the electric cable, the Small and almost invisible little blue led charging light indicator is located on the right side (the opposite side from the plug hole) and there is NO on screen indicator for it. What?! this is plain stupid.The wrist space on the keyboard is very convenient.Performance:Well, in this area no complaints so far. I5 8th gen is speedy and responsive. the Nvme drive is great and the 8G ram is enough for general use.All in All I gave it 4 stars, because for 500$ or so, it's pretty good deal, but the small and annoying things made it go down in rating. If you want to ask more things, I would be happy to assist, Cheears!
