As student I find it a good choice for a fair price. It works perfectly for all those school works. Though it doesn’t come with special features like other laptops I think it’s just nice for practical use and I’m satisfied with it’s performance.

This laptop is for basic functioning. As a student I only needed the use of such programs as in the Misrosoft Office variety and also a device that can handle some light web-surfing i.e. YouTube, Facebook etc. To that end, all my computer needs are handled beautifully by this laptop. However, it's on the heavier side and the touchpad can be faulty at times. All in all, happy with this device.

The Aspire E5 is fair value for money, but that's pretty much all it is. If you just need a basic workhorse type of machine and can live with the offset trackpad in favour of the number pad there's some value here, but the competitive landscape at this kind of price point is particularly brutal, so it would pay to shop around
