Acer Aspire ES ES1-572-36YW User Review and Ratings

• Not what you'd expect

  Hey everyone, I'm a user of this particular computer and I'm here to tell you exactly how big of a difference there is between advertised specs and the real deal. 4GB RAM and an Intel i3 Processor in this laptop still can't open a Windows Explorer page without freezing for 5 literal minutes and then only opening the page and its contents part by part, the whole endeavor taking around 10 minutes to complete, so you can guess just how long it takes to even send an urgent email. There are no complaints about the storage, 500 GB is alright for the price point. The laptop has a very faulty and inefficient DVD player as it is. It cannot run even the most simple programs properly. Coding in even MYSQL is a pain in more than just down there, it takes several seconds to perform simple lines of code that can be executed in "weaker" systems in a fraction of a second. If you're a student like me, buying this computer is a worse idea than sending your projects via snail mail to your teachers. Don't even think about playing games on this, on God this system crashes with even the tiniest RAM-intensive thing. Checking the RAM usage in the control panel, despite having next to nothing on this computer due to said problems, over 3 GB out of 4 GB RAM is used as system requirements, leaving you with mere MBs to grab on, most of which is used for random background activities. It comes with a huge load of bulk pre-installed, which I urge you to delete immediately should you be unfortunate enough to buy or have this system. Now, my complaints might seem small or tolerable, but if you think about it I wouldn't spend my precious time on a review if I didn't have a good enough reason, and in this case a negative review at least, was long overdue. PS the system is only 2 years old and performs worse than my old Lenovo laptop did when it was 6 years old, with 2 GB RAM and the same storage, Intel Pentium processor. You might have to fork over a little more money, but a Lenovo computer would be much better than this waste of resources and money.
