Review on Acer A515 56 36UT Display I3 1115G4 Processor by Isaac Logan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great little machine for a ridiculously low price!

I figured 4GB of RAM would only be enough for everyday use. I was a bit disappointed with the 128GB of storage and decided that while it's a really good machine for the price, for another $80 and change I could actually make it fly. If you look at my photos you can see that there is room for a 2.5" SATA drive. Also, there is room to add storage and I chose to add another 8GB of RAM along with a SATA drive and 480GB of storage. Obviously this is of great importance. If you look at the photos I posted, you can see that the Acer memory is used up by half as soon as you turn on the device. Steve's drive is the one I installed. Now there is a lot of storage space. The photo circled in red shows the RAM increase. When looking for instructions, keep in mind that this model was released back in May of this year. There are very few instructional videos or written materials that explain where this memory goes. The SATA drive speaks for itself. The only video I could find of this particular machine is provided by a user named. @Silicon Edge, you must go to YouTube and search for that name. I don't think Revane would let me post the link. It's not in English, but all you have to do is look at his hands. If you try the other videos you might think this is the car you bought until you open the back of yours and look at the back of them and realize it's different. I highly recommend temporarily removing the screw on the right side of the battery pack to secure the ribbon clamp. Then simply adjust the battery and screw the screw back in. Watch the video and you will understand exactly what I mean. I love this calculator. I upgraded this machine for $460 including new RAM. It would cost me a lot more to buy one from scratch with that kind of memory and storage. Fast PS. I bought an HP 27 inch monitor here at Revain and tweaked it a bit. $169. You will love the car, don't think twice, just buy it. If you want speed, I mean real speed, just upgrade your RAM and storage. I used critical. It's a brand name for SATA and RAM. READ MORE ABOUT UPDATES. You don't want to overdo it. The processor isn't there for that. I'm not a techie so I read a lot before doing this.
