Slim 15.6" Everyday Laptop
The Acer Aspire 5 A515-45-R1YC is a silver 15.6 inch laptop built for daily productivity. It runs on an AMD Ryzen 5 5500U hexa-core mobile processor with integrated AMD Radeon graphics. The system includes 8GB DDR4 onboard memory and a 256GB NVMe SSD. Windows 10 Home comes pre-installed.
Full HD IPS Display and Connectivity
A 15.6 inch Full HD 1920 x 1080 widescreen LED-backlit IPS panel provides clear visuals for work and streaming. Physical ports include one USB 3.2 Type-C Gen 1 port up to 5 Gbps, two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports with one supporting power-off charging, one USB 2.0 port, and one HDMI 2.0 port with HDCP support. Wi-Fi 6 handles wireless networking.
Sustained Performance and Battery
The 5500U processor manages thermals within the slim chassis during extended office tasks or video playback. Up to 11 hours of battery life supports a full workday away from a power outlet. A backlit keyboard allows comfortable typing in low-light conditions. Buyers needing user-upgradeable memory or a discrete graphics card for heavy 3D work should consider other form factors.

Questions about this item
What size M.2 slot does the 256 GB NVMe SSD occupy in the A515-45-R1YC?
The 256 GB NVMe SSD uses the single M.2 slot; there is no second M.2 or 2.5-inch bay for extra storage.
Which screw must be removed before lifting the bottom cover on the A515-45-R1YC?
Remove all visible base screws and the hidden screw under the centre rubber foot before prying the cover off.
Can the 8 GB DDR4 memory be upgraded later on the A515-45-R1YC?
The 8 GB DDR4 is soldered onboard, so total memory cannot be increased beyond 8 GB.
