OS and apps on the first nvme drive. Games on the second nvme drive. So if the OS drive crashes, you still have your games intact.
Or install Linux on the second SSD and leave windows on the first...

I love all that upgradability though 2 nvme slots feels like overkill at this price range

If you open the laptop, it has 2 upgradeable ram slots (up to 64GB RAM), 2 nvme SSD slots, and you can upgrade the wifi card. That's an outstanding amount of upgradability in a sub $500 laptop. Most...

Thunderbolt 4 spec requires 100W power delivery on at least 1 thunderbolt port. So it looks like the acer manual just glossed over that and didn't mention power on the thunderbolt version. It will...

I wouldn't get an Intel, since Ryzen took the lead. It's a bit cheaper, and more power efficient. Basically it's like Intel is stuck a couple of years back.
Power efficiency is critical when in a...

No it won't. It might actually fry the port. That port is only for power OUT, not IN.

"DC-in: requires power adapter or power source providing 65 W at 20 V. (A515-47)".
That means, ONLY A515-47 supports it. OP item is for A515-57.

that's IF you have one of the supported models. This model is NOT supported. The manual is for MANY models.

Agreed. I'm saying you could turn it off and charge it back up with USB-C at 15w instead of the full 65w. It'll charge the internal battery while turned off, it'll just take longer.

I know they probably meant 15w output. But then again, their specs did not mention anything about PD input. Not all USB-C have PD.

No. If USB-C charge source only provides 15w, it's just barely enough for the 1235u processor, not including other power consumptions like mother board, SSD, fan, USB output.

You misunderstood 5Vx3A. That's standard OUTPUT of USB-C port.
For USB-C power delivery, USB-C port becomes INPUT of power. By USB-C standard, it should support up to 100w (20Vx5A), which is more...
