    Does Jobkeeper mean they are free for all?

      No, once you receive the handout laptop, if Gerry asks you to return it, you can send him back the box and manuals

  • PSPeter on 24/05/2022 - 16:04

    It is listed in the description, but buyers should be wary of Windows 11 Home in S mode.

    "Allows only apps from Microsoft Store, and requires Microsoft Edge for safe browsing." Microsoft Support

      can switch out of S mode into full Win 11 on a few clicks for free , just like Win 10 ?

      • PSPeter on 24/05/2022 - 16:22

        Yeah you still can, though with that 4GB of RAM multi-tasking will struggle. I guess that's why Acer ships with it S mode out of the box.

        yes you can

        delete windows and use linux. Window runs badly with that 4GB yikes.

    • vid_ghost on 25/05/2022 - 15:35

      I have Windows 11 Home.. i can install any app/program i want and have with zero issues.. 32bit old stuff from 1990's and 2000's.. i think its only the "S mode"

  • murkywater on 24/05/2022 - 16:54

    Hmm. This could be decent with a ram upgrade to 12GB and fresh install of windows/linux?

      if its like the Ryzen equivalent, it will have a spare RAM slot and a 2.5" bay and you can upgrade the NVME SSD if you want

      On the Ryzen I added another 8GB stick which made is 12GB however 2GB went to graphics card (no way to alter) and 10GB was seen by WIN11

    How do people make 4gb usable? Need to set up a laptop for my 5yo to do readingeggs and nothing else. Have an older laptop with 4gb and its a bit slow to react to her touchscreen use

    • tonyjzx on 24/05/2022 - 17:30

      they dont

      everyone with a clue with purchase an 8gb stick to make it usable

      or pay someone to install it for you

      HN ask for a poverty build so you cant cross shop at JB etc.

      • justtoreply on 24/05/2022 - 22:28

        I get you, but not helpful.

        It's an old laptop i want to repurpose because all she needs is readingeggs and a touchscreen. Frankly the solution could involve installing windows xp if only there were drivers.. (The laptop isn't that old) or Windows starter or something.. Whatever's going to stop that ram usage. There aren't any free ram slots. I do have a retail win 7 I'm not using I suppose i should try that.

      don't use chrome as the browser, each tab you open takes up memory and after your child has done to 30 web sites and not closed ….. use Edge, uses less memory …..we have 8GB laptops and after we removed chrome and used edge our memory problems were solved ….

    btw. this unit uses the same motherboard family that goes back before covid, wayyy back

    so it has type c but it wont charge off type c, ie. gen 1

  • Giga on 24/05/2022 - 20:11

    Saw this one in HN yesterday . plastic shell , no type c .

    can you update the memory without void warranty ?

    TFT LCD EEEEWWWWWW i would avoid this like the plague

    • WatchNerd on 25/05/2022 - 19:37

      Your link is for an Acer Aspire 5, this is an Aspire 3.

      HN link says the model number is A315-58-36FN which has an IPS LCD according to this link.

    • Mondorock on 30/05/2022 - 23:56

      What's wrong with TFT LCD? That's what all screens are, are they not?

      • garage sale on 31/05/2022 - 10:29

        TFT doesn't look good unless you are square on when viewing, IPS looks clearer from angles ….

        • Mondorock on 31/05/2022 - 15:20

          You're thinking of TN. Not the same as TFT.

  • tramperleo on 29/05/2022 - 11:24

    Weird some one neg this deal.
    This definitely the best price on specification.
    At this price you can only get a Celeron CPU 128G SSD etc

    With 11 gen I3 1115G4, 256GB SSD, 15.6" Full HD, Free ram slot for upgrade, Free HDD slot for upgrade and under $500!!!
    This is an unbeatable deal!!
