- Storage
- Storage Type: HDD
- Total Storage Capacity: 1000 gigabytes
- Hard Drive Capacity: 1000 gigabytes (The amount of data that can be stored on the device's mechanical hard drive. Hard disk drives (HDDs) typically have larger capacities than solid state drives (SSDs) but may have slower speeds.)

- Hard Drive RPM: 7200 revolutions per minute (A hard drive's data is stored on disks, or platters, that spin while transferring information to the host system. The higher the RPM, the faster the hard drive's performance.)
- Hard Drive Accelerator: None (A module integrated (or added) into a PC to improve performance speed. By acting as a high-speed cache, an accelerator speeds up access times to the hard drive, which results in faster web browsing, improved gaming experience, and overall more responsiveness.)
- Memory
- System Memory (RAM): 8 gigabytes (Random-access memory (RAM) is a computing device's short-term data storage, which allows active information to be accessed quickly. The size and type of RAM determines how efficiently the device can handle large amounts of information at one time. For example, gaming or video editing requires more RAM for optimal performance.)

Ethernet data transmission speeds are measured in Mbps (megabits per second) and Gbps (gigabits per second). For example, a 10/100 Ethernet port transmits 10 and 100 Mbps, while a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port transmits 10 and 100 Mbps and has a maximum speed of 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps).)

A: I called the Microsoft store and they said that it is vr compatible I am also getting this in a couple of days to run vr so I will keep u posted.
A: This is the perfect reason to get this bad boy. It is great for surfing because it has a 1080p screen for crisp clear viewing. This is also a high power gaming computer as well. You will not be sorry to get this.
Q: Would I be able to run world of Warcraft on here?
A: I personally dont own this, but am thinking about getting this model. I have a similar laptop now, which has an a10 9630p and a rx 560 and it plays WoW on medium settings around 30 fps with BFA content. This models processor is easily double what my current processor is in benchmarks, so it should play real smooth on medium, high graphics, based off the specs this laptop has.
Q: Would this be able to handle a game like Pubg because I heard u need a good computer for it
A: Yes it can play PUBG but not at the highest setting. You also might want to consider getting another RAM for it to get better experience.
A: Updating the video driver would be the best place to start. 1. Go to https://www.amd.com/en/support 2. Select RX 560X on the drop down menu and click submit 3. Select the latest driver, and click download 4. Install the driver that you download.
A: It's a second generation Zen APU (CPU/GPU Combo) and since it can set its speed depending on the load, it's extremely energy efficient, but it can also kick up to 3.7 Ghz which makes it adequate for most tasks. Also, it's a quad core processor which can handle 8 threads at a time. In most applications, it outperforms most i5 CPU's by Intel.
Q: Am I able to insert dvds and cds in this laptop?
A: No, no cd or dvd drive
A: This would work fine for video editing or Youtubing. While Acer does not test many gaming applications we would recommend you check that the computer meets the system requirements of the application/game to determine if it will work. You can also contact the software vendor to see if they can provide information on compatibility with their software. You might also post your question on the Acer Community where there are many users that post questions and offer help and advice on Acer products. The link is: https://community.acer.com/
