Q: QuestionExcept the size of the SSD, is there any other difference between this model ACER AN517-55-5354 and the other similar model ACER AN517-55-57WA? Are they pretty much the same except the SSD size?

Asked 3 years ago by BY009988.

• A:Answer Careful. I almost made that purchase based on a previous answer saying the "only difference is the SSD capacity." It appears the 57WA does NOT have a Thunderbolt port. In my opinion this is a significant difference to point out. Obviously if you don't care about Thunderbolt, then the $150 savings for 256GB less storage space is worth it.
