This is an excellent laptop so far…
I bought this laptop as “used-acceptable” for quite the discount.I didn’t know what to expect when it arrived. It actually came in a Dell Laptop box. Imagine my surprise when I opened it up and it was absolutely pristine. Absolutely no sign of use. Whoever restored it went above and beyond the call of duty.I immediately upgraded to 32 gig of Crucial 3200 memory (2 sticks) and switched the hard drive out with a 1 terabyte Samsung NVMe M.2 SSD drive…I cloned the 512 gig NVMe M.2 drive, wiped it and placed it in the 2nd M.2 drive slot. I’d say this was the easiest laptop upgrade I’ve ever done. Kudos to Acer for making it easy. You just remove the screws from the back of the laptop, unsnap off the cover and everything is right there. I just disconnected the battery.I went with 2 sticks of memory rather than 1 stick of 32g memory to take advantage of dual channel.Now for the look of the laptop. It is beautiful. The keyboard is nice and red backlit. You can dim or brighten up the keys as you wish. The keys are responsive and have a great feel. The layout has taken a bit to get used to but I’m getting the hang of it.I hate touchpads so I disabled it and using a Bluetooth mouse…so I can’t really comment on the touchpad.The display is excellent. I guess a nice display is in the eye of the beholder. I really liked the look of the display. I thought it was sharp and not washed out.The speakers are alright but that’s what a nice pair of headphones are for.I happened to have a Win 11Pro disc so I ditched Win10Home that comes with the laptop. Clean install is always the way to go. Of course I had to go to the Acer site and download some drivers and software. You need the software to run some of the keyboard commands like the “Nitro” function.

Great Starter Gaming Laptop
(Review written by the user, not the buyer.)I got this gaming laptop as part of my first setup for my Christmas/birthday present. I absolutely love it! It has been a little less than three weeks since I first used it and it is working great. In general, I would recommend if you are just starting out your online gaming experience.Specifics: The keyboard is really good (which I am using at this moment). The track pad is eh, it kinda skids my thumb but I can give it a pass. The screen is really nice, with great detail. Battery life is not great, but if you are just using it for searching online it is okay. If you want to play a full on game you may want to plug it in.Game performance is amazing (transferring from a Nintendo Switch, playing Fortnite, to a real gaming device is a vast improvement in my opinion.) Running max graphics gives me 80 FPS and I can play good graphics on a stable 120 FPS. Games load fast, and overall very smooth experience. (I really don’t know if this is just me, but trying the laptop on the first time the FPS would be very random but after a while playing, maybe after a few days, it got stable.)Well, thanks for reading! 🙂 Just want to assure that my experience was great and wanted to make sure you know what you’re buying. Bye! (haha)

AN515-46-R0EQ Review: Know Your Model
Review will be updated as I dive further into tests.Specifically the AN515-46-R0EQ. I just fired this product up today and needed to leave my first impressions. It is a 2023 model that includes ddr5 ram. But itâs different than the ones many are reviewing.Boot: was not DOA. For people claiming DOA, make sure your power cord is fully plugged in. There is an audible as well as tensile click.BIOS: coming to this from an MSI build, itâs archaic. Only a few options. But less is more and itâs clean.Upgrades: when I bought this laptop, I also bought an additional 4tb m.2 2280 and a 5tb hdd because the store page said it had space for them. When I opened up the case, I found that the AN515-46-R0EQ not only didnât come with the cable to connect it, but is physically missing the header to attach it. After checking the Acer website and looking up the model, I see this model CANNOT connect a 2.5 drive. So I wasted money because of a bad presentation. MAKE SURE TO CHECK WHAT YOU’RE BUYING!Windows install and syncing: Everything synced, installed, and updated very quickly.So far so good. Now I just need to install Steam and she how it handles. Will update this within the next couple daysUpdate 2 weeks later for gaming:Well Iâm happy with this for sure. Final Fantasy VII Remake on max settings (which has a notoriously rough side for graphics plays flawlessly, and Elden Ring on max only has some stutters in Liurnia when itâs raining. Iâm running through Farum Azula now (giant tornado) and have had no issues. 58fps when capped at 60 anyway at 1440p. Looks beautiful.Kicked this up to 5 stars since itâs fantastic for what it does.

Watch for the Operating System
I ordered and purchased Windows 10. However the laptop comes with Windows 11, which is not what my $750+ purchase was for. This directly impacts the performance of the laptop and almost makes it unusable

Wait no ! Your product is probably not dead on arrival
So looking at the reviews, I was pretty afraid that the laptop would be DOA.Then, the same thing happened to me : Laptop not charging, not booting …I tried different chargers, no change, no charge, not booting.Then, I noticed that Acer had the excellent idea to put in place a custom system in the charger female pin on the laptop that requires you to push hard to insert the charger pin.So, if your laptop is dead on arrival, check that you pushed enough to insert the charger pin in the laptop, it may seems stupid but I believe it’s a design flow. Acer : Fix that !Other than that, the build quality seems OK for an Acer, the keyboard is great, the screen excellent. The laptop is quiet (when you don’t use the boost mode). I didn’t had time to use it much yet, so I didn’t test the performance, but no doubt that it will meet my expectations.I noticed however some lags with the touchpad when you “wake” it up. It seems the touchpad go to sleep and needs at least one or two seconds to take your input and wake up.
