QuestionI've heard that SSD has a limited amount of space to read/write. If I use 256GB SSD for school or games how long will it last? Is an SSD writing/reading everytime I do a google search, or when ever I play a game like an MMO? When do they read/write? Help!
Asked 7 years ago by HelpMePlease123.
- Answer Short answer: it won't be enough space. Longer answer; the computer has an SD card slot and you can have up to 500 gb on those so if you got one of those it would have enough space for 10-12 large games and all your school. For instance, GTA V is about 60gb so 9 copies of it could fit on a 500 gb.

QuestionWill this run Fortnite well, or will it be bad quality?
Asked 7 years ago by Fortnite21.
- Answer Yeah, I'm pretty sure you will be able to run fortnite. It meets all the requirements. It runs Windows 10, has an i5 processor, has an 8GB Ram, and has an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 graphics. The only thing I would see disturbing it would be the Ghz since it does not specify what the Ghz is. It should run good.

QuestionIs the manufacturer warranty available applicable worldwide? In simpler terms, do we get international warranty?
Asked 6 years ago by RYDER.
- Answer Acer provides a domestic warranty in the country of purchase and an International Travelers Warranty for the laptop products. This applies to genuine travelers only; if you travel a lot we highly recommend you read the terms and conditions at http://www.acer.com/worldwide/support/itw.htm. This page also provides links to the ITW service locations, ITW FAQ, and ITW Service Limitations. Please note if you purchase the system in the US but live outside North America, you will not get a domestic warranty in your country of residence. If local repair and support is important to you, we recommend you purchase the system in the country of residence.
