Product reviewsAcer Aspire 3 A315-22 256GB SSD, AMD A4 9120E, 1.50 GHz, 12GB RAM

Good value and does the job.

4gb is adequate but not enough RAM. No slot for sd card. Attractive and very lightweight to use.

C*** computer do not buy

Troublesome immediately
Default browser Bing dreadful low research scope Competes with Google or other So slow as to be unworkable
I bought my own virus protection but because it had trial softwear kept competing kept Se ding unnecessary pop ups to buy as their instalment had expired
I managed zoom twice with difficulty and my online courses therefore became impossible to continue
On one occasion due to Bing competing with Google I had 2 panels on zoom which then kept cancelling each other due to distortion freezing etc
So bad I had to get it expert to look at it
His view was that Acer should not be able to produce such poor products as they do nothing memory care to small for most modern uses
Despite having bought Norton due to constant flipping acquired viruses that stopped laptop from performing even most basic functions

Since I could not afford another I have had to have the laptop upgraded costing another 170Read full review...

Refurbed laptop

Where the laptop is immaculate,and has clearly been refurbished to a high standard,we found that the charger although it will be inexpensive to replace, has several cracks in the lead,and seems of poor quality compared to the unit.Read full review...

Great Machine, But NEEDS A DVD Writer fitted to it.

Having already bought an ACER Aspire 3 about 6 years ago, I decided to buy myself a 2nd, because my first one is showing signs of either a windows 10 problem or a hard drive problem (I cant make out where the exact issue is), and I have about 200 GB of music files anyway to keep.

Really good machine, but this one has no DVD writer fitted to it, which is the only problem, Also, most laptops and PC's now come with SSD hard drives fitted, which makes the hard drive's life span last much longer. I've been in computing for over 30 years, and I am capable of building them from nothing to complete. I like the SSD's but I prefer the "old style" hard drives instead. This is perfect for me, this machine, but I would have preferred it come with that DVD Writer fitted instead.

GOOD BUY, GOOD PRODUCT, WELL WORTH THE ASKING PRICE TOO.Read full review...

Horrendously slow

I read other reviews calling this laptop slow but shrugged them off as I literally only want to use it for doing office documents and browsing youtube etc, but it struggles even with this. Its barely usable, absolutely everything is a struggle. Either pay the money for the SSD version or look elsewhere because this thing, although its slim and lightweight, is a waste of moneyRead full review...

very smart but slow.

Processor very slow and start-up slow (HDD not SSD). Product exchanged for a better one. Worth spending just a little bit more.

Iis compact and meets my requirements!

Simple to operate at start up which really helps when you have a new device. HD is a bonus!

lightweight & neat, oh so slow

much slower than my old hp pavilion G6 laptop.
Supposed methods to 'TURBO BOOST' are apparently non-existent,would return it were it possible.
