Product Manuals

Q: can you get a larger battery,how to remove battery ?

A: The battery that ships in the system is the only one available for this model. The battery is not considered user accessible because the lower case assembly must be removed to access the battery.

Q: Like the other Nitro models, I've read that you can add a seperate SSD, can a SSD be installed & added to this model?

A: This model does have one SSD slot on the mainboard. It is not considered user accessible because the bottom case and battery must be removed to access the slot. If you feel comfortable doing this, you can certainly add an SSD if you want.

Q: Debating between another desktop or laptop. It sound like this is for gaming, which I don't do. Would another laptop be better for me or just get another desktop?

A: A gaming laptop is faster than a regular desktop, or laptop, but if your plan on using either for web browsing, emails, watching videos, basic online games; any desktop or laptop under $500 will be your best choice. The benefit of a gaming laptop is having a powerfull processor and graphics card, plus a faster wireless adapter for wifi and portability. This laptop is just amazing when it come to get full use of the internet speed i have, plus playing games, and graphics and processing power programs. Hope this helps on your decision of buying either.

Q: Does it come with i7 8th gen on Acer - 15.6 Gaming Laptop also known as Acer Nitro 5?

Q: How much ram

A: acer says it supports up to 32GB. 2 16GB sticks
