Product Manuals
A: The supported memory for this Nitro 5 is DDR4 2666 SO-DIMM, up to 32GB using two memory slots. This ships with one 8GB stick and you can match the specs and add a second 8GB stick if you need more memory.
A: I can run Wow Classic at a graphics quality of 10 at about 60 fps. In retail wow I have to put it on 7 to get about 60fps but it will run both just fine.
A: This laptop is will be able to run sims 4 I actually own the laptop but the only bad the about this laptop is it’s small in storage so I’d get a flash drive
Q: Does this laptop have any usb ports? Is it a good choice for non gaming college students?
A: 1. This specific model has 1 USB 2.0 port, 2 USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A ports, and 1 USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C port. Aside from USB, it has a HDMI port. You should get about 5 Gbps from the USB ports. 2. It will work, just keep in mind it's aimed at gamers. As a result, there will be highlights on WASD and software targeted at gamers. Of course, you could replace the keycaps and just not use the gaming software, so it doesn't really matter. The low cost makes it a great choice. Keep in mind there is another model with a 1TB hard drive (linked). The CPU is slightly slower, but the laptop is slightly larger and has Acer ComfyView (anti-glare.) If you don't plan to game, the extra storage would be great, just keep in mind a HDD will be noticeably slower, and the 70$ sale does not apply. tl;dr: Yes, but there is another model to consider.
Q: Does it have a spot to add a hard drive?
A: Yes, you need to remove the back plate and there is a 2.5 inch drive for a laptop HDD
A: Got this laptop for my son a few weeks ago and it did include a cable and mounting screws for adding a hard drive. They’re in separate little baggies though, and easily overlooked if you’re not careful when unpacking the laptop. No bracket, but those are easy enough to get, assuming the new drive doesn’t come with one.
Q: what would i have to do to upgrade storage and ram in this computer exactly
A: The laptop supports up to 32GB memory. The laptop includes a hdd cable and bracket to install a 2.5" SATA or SSHD. Instructions are on YouTube and you can also post questions on the Acer Community at https://community.acer.com/.
A: The M.2 slots support PCIe and SATA3. While we cannot guarantee all M.2 SSD's will work, most that are available today should work fine. If you feel there is a hardware problem with the SATA3 SSD slot, please contact Acer support for assistance at 866-695-2237, which is available 24/7 for in-warranty products.
