$10 cheaper than the last deal.

I ordered this one on Friday, not enough to justify canceling and reordering.

Why would you want a 1440p+ screen on an RTX 4060 (mobile at that)? You're paying $100 more for worse performance at that point. My GFs 4060 laptop can barely handle the 1200p screen in modern games.

I have the newer version of this laptop and it's pretty nice for the size, I just don't like the preloaded bloatware or gpu drivers. I highly suggest downloading and reinstalling the gpu software directly from nvidia. Prior to that I would get BSODs a lot.

this is actually a good deal.


still remember scoring this laptop for $560 open box, to me it was amazinghttps://www.asus.com/us/laptops/f...tion-2023/ then it made a weird noise, worked fine. micro center then exchanged it for a brand new unit lol. it does everything I need, so I cant justify upgrading honestly. its a beast of laptop.


dang im still #1 on leaderboard.

I've been researching this. 2 slots are used 8gb sticks each. Memory is upgradable. Per the Acer website, you can go up to 32gb officially. However, I've found posts on Reddit and Acer forums that you can go up to 64gb. I bought this laptop (not here yet though) and plan to upgrade the RAM to 64gb, I already bought the crucial sticks. Hoping the posts I read are accurate. Also adding another nvme ssd.

Hey question: does this laptop only support 4800mhz or can it use faster RAM?

Anyways so per Acer website, this laptop can support 16GB stick x 2 for total 32GB ram. But you saw people mentioning that it can support 32GB stick x2 for total 64 GB.

That depends entirely on the game and the visual settings you apply. The reality is a higher resolution with slightly lower anti-aliasing, poly complexity, and or texture sizes still winds up looking better. I'm playing Supraland at 4K 60 FPS with no problem on a GPU that's about 10% slower than a 4060 mobile. I also have the visuals on high settings. No, it's not the prettiest game, but I'm glad I'm not stuck playing it at 1/2 to 1/4 the resolution.

Just search for the CPU and click on the first Intel's website link. It'll tell you what it natively supports. Laptop boards don't tend to be able to go faster than the CPU's official specs.

Okay, I went to Intel's website and it says the Intel Core i9-14900HX processor can support "Up to 192 GB RAM" and "Up to DDR5 5600 MT/s"

That doesn't neccessarily mean *this laptop* can support DDR5 5600 mhz, does it? I mean, that all depends on the motherboard, no? And Acer made the motherboard not Intel?

Supports up to 5600Mhz DDR5. I've seen posts indicating that you *may* have to update the BIOS though to achieve 5600.

And yes, officially it's 32gb RAM max (2 x 16gb) but I have seen in a few different places (unofficially) that it can do 64gb (32gb x 2). Still waiting on mine to confirm this myself though.

Here's one of the posts I found related to the max RAM but, again, I've found a few posts on this, not just this one:

https://community.acer.com/en/dis...nt_1313450

edit: 64gb RAM didn't work for me even after multiple attempts etc. I updated the BIOS as well, just boots to black screen I even waited a significant amount of time after each reboot to allow for the system to "train" on my memory but still just a black screen. oh well, 32gb it is.
