Acer Aspire 15 Slim Laptop AG15-32P-39R2 | 15.6″ FHD (1920 x 1080) IPS Display | 8-Core Intel Core 3 N355 Processor | Intel Graphics | 8GB DDR5 RAM | 128GB HD | Wi-Fi 6 |… by acer

I used to like Acer:

I received the laptop a few days ago. I followed the very sparse getting started instructions and plugged the charging cord into the Aspire GO 15 laptop and then into the wall socket. Immediately, upon plugging in, sparks and FIRE shot out of the electrical socket I plugged it into & in the other sockets in the same room. VERY DANGEROUS!! I immediately unplugged it from the wall.

The weird thing is the computer seems to work fine, I was able to set it up and set up my email account too. It seems that it was already fully charged when it arrived?? But, I’m pretty sure the fire and sparks caused damage to my electrical wiring. I’m afraid to use the electrical socket now, as it might cause a fire in the wall, if the wiring encasing has melted.

I filled out the refund or return online form here at Amazon… two days in a row. But, they are silent. The form says I need to erase any personal information before sending the computer back. But, I don’t know how long the computer will continue working without being charged and no one has offered to send me a label to send it back. I’ve heard absolutely nothing from Amazon or Acer.

So, I am inclined to just report this very dangerous product to the “Consumer Protective Safety Commission”. It could have very easily caused a fire or injured someone who was too near the socket. I believe the battery and charger is from Thailand and they got it from China. China has recently had some of their battery chargers recalled. This one should be recalled too… in my opinion.

I just rec’ this and I am being toally honest, I have never set up a computer as quick as I did this one. Its very nice and the screen is large . I am 73 and its getting a bit hard to read messages and such with a small screen, so I am so excited about this one. Usally I have to keep ajusting the zoom on my old laptop, but not this one. It set up so fast I was able to get on FB very fast and play my games. I would highly recommend this. Price was awesome! I am a real consumer, not pad for any review. Have a great day everyone.

This is a U.S. made laptop which while having all you might expect, and I have no complaints re the quality or performance the annoying / frustrating thing is that the keyboard is for the U.S. user and consequently there is no UK Pound key, it,s the $ key also the @ key for UK use is the exclamation mark key. That is when you switch the the UK key format which very frequently just reverts back to the U.S. mode !!!!
I have tried to contact the ACER support service through the contacts provided but these turn out to be in Taiwan who replied in Chinese. Unfortunately since I am only a home use user I only started to find these problems after the Amazon return date . My next move is to contact Which Computer Services and see if they can sort the keyboard problem out for me. Lesson learned !!!

Wow – very easy to set up and link to peripherals. Smooth operation. You have to take it out of safe mode if you want to use apps from anywhere other than the Microsoft store, but thats pretty easy if you have a microsoft account.
Not for gamers or graphic designers, but great for everyday use, and at 300 bucks… awsome

Nice low cost no frills laptop. I bought it after my wife’s Lenovo 2 in 1 broke at the hinges.
No touch screen, no backlit keys but the build seems sturdy, battery life is good and is fast enough for any office work, web browsing or video streaming.
The biggest drawback is the sound volume and quality, which is kind of… meh.
