          Userbenchmark has a history of fluffing their benchmarks to favour intel, so don't trust them

        The AMD version still has wifi 5 while this machine has wifi 6.

      Pity about the soldered RAM

      • [Deactivated] on 19/03/2021 - 09:42

        It says 2 x 4GB; which to me, seems like it’s not soldered?

        • MadMaxBargainRoad on 19/03/2021 - 09:54

          Could be one soldered while the other being swappable.

      How are Acer laptops as far as reliability and build quality? Never owned one

        Build quality is always shite. Cheap plastic, feels like a 10 year old laptop.

        Had a 2020 Swift 5, terrible build quality and had to send it back to have the screen replaced, if you’re coming from MacBook/Surface/Dell/Lenovo, you will be pretty disappointed with the build quality.

        I've had an E1-571G for several years now and it hasn't let me down once. Added a stick of RAM and an SSD plus replaced the battery twice via eBay. Bought it secondhand off OCAU. Only minor gripe is the colours of Gumtree.com.au don't render too well: the green is too bright. All other websites and photos etc display fine.

        I have an Acer Aspire that I got from a HN deal a year or so ago. It's awesome.It was only $470 and has a 1080p IPS screen, great build quality, wifi 6, 8 GB RAM, USB Type C, gigabit Ethernet. It's only a dual core i3, but it's 10th gen, so it's pretty snappy

      so ? solder or not ? oh you mean the 8 is soldered

      • rooon on 19/03/2021 - 09:51
        +2

        Seems from here the 8GB is soldered and 1 x expansion slot.

        You have a 8GB 2666MHz onboard memory and a 8GB 3200MHz removable module in the slot, so the system will run at 2666MHz(lower frequency of the two).

        • seraphim2017 on 20/03/2021 - 14:51

          So does this laptop only support DDR4 2666 in the extra slot? 16gb dual channel 2666 Vega 6 doesn't sound too bad, might even be able to run GTA v on low settings?

  • yobeets on 19/03/2021 - 10:33

    I've been looking to grab a laptop to install linux on, unfortunately it looks like these acers are a bit too much to much of a hassle with linux. Anyone have any experience with them?

  • Francis82 on 19/03/2021 - 12:23

    Sorry bit confused here ,which one has the upgradeable ram,the ryzen or the Intel version

    • Timmayc123 on 19/03/2021 - 14:52

      This is a very uninformed and not correct guess. But, recent Intel Tigerlake CPUs often only have a single SODIMM slot. So it's likely the ryzen one will be the upgradeable.

  • seraphim2017 on 20/03/2021 - 08:52

    Looking for a new laptop as my Dell crapped itself. Choice is a Dell 15 5000 with i5-1135g7 and a 2gb mx330, or this?

    Thoughts?

    Does this have space inside for a second SSD?(2.5" or nvme?) And to make the ram dual channel?(anyone know the ram speed that comes on the motherboard?)

    I assume the 8gb is soldered here with 1 slot to upgrade?

    Backlit keyboard? Basic gaming?(my 8th gen i7 runs GTA5 so I'd imagine the 4500u would?)

  • Lionmaru-G on 20/03/2021 - 12:24

    How hot does it get when gaming on this laptop?

  • OZTechGuy on 23/03/2021 - 08:25

    Got the Intel model and so far it seems very good for the price. Seems solid and has an aluminium lid with a backlit keyboard. There seems to be nothing else around this price range with decent specs atm anyway (and im talking retail only). Also i think the intel model has been newly released, wasnt on display.

    • rooon on 24/03/2021 - 06:10

      Do you know if there is a spare RAM slot in this Intel model thanks?

      • OZTechGuy on 24/03/2021 - 08:16

        Sorry wouldnt know. I checked bios and it didnt really tell me anything and physically cant tell (without opening it up). I would think a laptop like this would have atleast one slot upgradeable, since its price is around the 900 mark normally and thats not considered low end.

        • rooon on 24/03/2021 - 21:35

          No worries. Just found this post in another forum so I'm guessing the same applies.

          Spec for the Aspire A515-56 says:
          System Memory
          DDR4 2666/3200 SODIMM memory interface design:
          Support on-board memory (4GB)
          DDR4 SODIMM slot x 1, up to 20GB (max.)
          So you should be able to put a single 8GB or 16GB stick in, not two 8GBs.

          • OZTechGuy on 25/03/2021 - 09:56

            @rooon: Thats good to know and for general use i think i wouldnt upgrade it anyway.
