QuestionNot computer savvy. Love playing games but also surfing the web and photos. Just looking for a "standalone" that I can take anywhere...outside or in my room with no wires and connections. Is this good for that? And can I connect to a printer? Thanks!
Asked 7 years ago by Catherine.
- Answer 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.

QuestionWould I be able to run world of Warcraft on here?
Asked 7 years ago by Disenchanted.
- Answer 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.

QuestionSome of my games won’t load or will load, but the video is grainy. I’m sure it is just a setting or something. What can I do to fix this?
Asked 6 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer 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.

QuestionHow good is the processor
Asked 6 years ago by Cade.
- Answer 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.

QuestionCan this this run fortnite pubg and other such games and is this good to make a YouTube account and edit videos. Sry to ask but could I have a detailed and specific answer plzz and thx
Asked 7 years ago by Cool.
- Answer 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/

QuestionCan I add or change the Hard Drive to SSD? What's the maximum? Thanks!
Asked 6 years ago by CluelessMom.
- Answer You can install an additional M.2 SSD. It'll accept both NVMe and SATA 3. Just have to remove the back of the laptop, which is very easy. There are plenty of tutorials on youtube. As for me, when i did it, i completely wiped windows and did a fresh install

QuestionCan I play games like Skyrim and metro exodus ?
Asked 6 years ago by Hansolo.
- Answer Yes I play those games on it. I did have to upgrade to a sata ssd as laptop mechanical hard drives are very slow. Too slow for games. I also added 8gb of ram but now I play some pretty demanding games without much trouble. I run most games at med to high settings and get some good fps. To put things in perspective I can run FFXV , star citizen, elite dangerous and get over 40 fps. I think this laptop is pretty nice. One more note , peeps on my discord say that my mic sounds good too especially for a laptop mic
