    again something like 300nits, 45% NTSC don't know if my old eyes can read properly …

  • Beats the Dell inspiron 15 with DDR5 > DDR4, 300nits>250nits and $50 less even after student discount. What's the quality comparison though, I'm happy with the robustness of my Dell, but it's time to replace it

    Our Acer laptop lasted less than 12 months before a faulty screen hinge cracked the screen. Returned to Acer and was told it wasn't covered under warranty and they wanted $700 to fix. Will never buy Acer again.

      If it wasn't too long ago and you have the time/energy you could go through Fair Trade to at least get your money back.

      Acer or whatever retail you bought it from, has an obligation to action a faulty product, within the 12 month warranty. Heck even shortly after the 12 month warranty they would have to.

        This. You guys gotta get educated on The ACL

      Happened to my Dad with a 2020 (I think it had an 11th gen i5) Yoga 7i 15". Plastic around the hinge screws snapped, cracking the screen on its way out.

      I am always surprised that so many people think this is America and you cant do anything

      Literally just tell them you will report them to the ACCC and in most cases they’ll cave if not just report them and you’ll get your money

    • My Lenovo Idea developed issues in less than 2 years. Luckily just a few days before the warranty expired.
      They replaced motherboard , then found that SSD broke down and they replaced it too. Unfortunately SSD can't be accessed by any computer. Not sure if I will be able to restore the files.

      I also had MSI gaming laptop. After 2 years it developed lots of issues: the case became brittle, keyboard became faulty, the screen started having lots of lines, and the list goes on. And it happened even though the laptop was used at home only!

      The point is: the problems are not necessarily related to the specific brand.

    Does this have USB-C power? Or is it a barrel?

    hows the GPU on this? in comparison to NVIDIA

    • -1

      Nvidia 4070 is so much better

      • Of course. I just want to know if it can run some basic games like d2r etc..

        Is it comparable to like a 1070

        • Comparable to NVIDIA's MX range. Iris XE is okay.

        We are at 5090 now

    "Intel UHD Graphics (Intel Iris Xe when both RAM slots used)"

    Using both RAM slots, turns the intel UHD graphics into Intel iris XE graphics? How does that work?

    • Magic of acer….

    • Yeah did some googling it's a thing

    • XDD, isn't Xe is better and newer?

  • Which one better the intel processor ending with P or U ?

    • I think U mainly for laptop

      • They're both for 'laptop', you won't find a desktop processor with the P designation. U is just the 'efficiency' focused variant of the CPU and P is the 'performance' version.

    • +1

      P is for Power, and U is for Ultra. H is for Hyper.
