Hey, thinking about this laptop for my mom, what do you think?
ACER Aspire 5 A515-45 15.6" Laptop - AMD Ryzen 3, 128 GB SSD, Black
Upgrade available to Windows 11; AMD Ryzen 3 5300U Processor; RAM: 8 GB / Storage: 128 GB SSD; Full HD display; Battery life: up to 13.5 hours
www.currys.co.uk
I checked and it seems the RAM might be dual channel, using two 4GB sticks.
Do you think the 128 GB SSD will suffice? She mainly uses Facebook, gaming, and light browsing.
Best regards.

I've been using a 128GB eMMC SSD in my old Windows 10 Yoga for eight years with regular use, and I haven't experienced any significant wear or failure.
