Really ? But I thought the values is from GPU-Z.. hmm
So Acer V Nitro still comes with 2gb vram ? Then I think it's not best bang of buck ad lo..

4G or 2G Vram, still they are best value and performer now

With new price and lesser RAM. does they provide fifth generation Processor?

If fourth generation, would say this item getting hot. Properly because getting popular and might trigger vendor increasing price

The price increase is not because of hot demand. Its caused by weak RM. In six week's time RM value has degraded at least 12%

Anyone recommend what kind brand for external DVD-rw for this Acer V Nitro?

Troublesome when install games using DVD.

FYI, I know steam enable to download any games you want. Temporary I don't have fixed Internet broadband.

I'm amazed.. Still got ppl use DVD to install game and purchase DVD for game.. haha
If you want future proof, get a blueray drive.. yes it will cost quite an amount.. lol
If not just get any brand ba.. it make no different for me

Erm im planning to buy this. but i see alot people complain the wifi is terrible. always dc and very slow. is this true?

heard newer batches come with an Intel 7265 card. No complaints that I heard so far. Mine comes with Atheros card which is horrible in slightly weaker conditions

Mind to ask?

Which source say that Acer V Nitro is having bad connection when connected with WIFI?

I did research on some populate website like http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2472500,00.asp do no mention weak wifi as they built with dual-band 802.11n Wi-Fi, which isn't bad, but will be slower than the 802.11ac found on most current systems.

My experience with this laptop, didn't have such problem.
Not quite sure with other Acer V Nitro owner.

No la, no such thing on slow wifi, dont trust all reviews la. It depends on your luck also. But i never heard Malaysia unit got such issue. Mine doesnt at least.

I think depend on which wifi card you using lo. For old stock I think they're not using Intel wifi card. So there's a problem on it lo.. New stock is using Intel wifi card I believe

My unit is the old stock with atheros card.

Just bought lenovo y50 which use atheros card (malaysia set) And its terrible. Gaming (dota2) dc every few seconds, download speed half of what it is supposed to be. This happen during 3/5 bars network reception. Returned it the next day. Now not sure to get this or not. and yes network card matters. Especially atheros. Not sure source but i see most review for this laptop (atheros card) say the wifi is terrible.

And also abit confused, Screen is ips/led/lcd? The new model with intel wifi.

Weird. I never had any problem with my atheros card. In fact i found it to be much more stable and faster compared to my previous laptop. acer v nitro use ips display bro. Doesnt matter new model or old. The difference is only the wifi card.

Oh you own one? How is it? Any problems? And just out of curiousity why are you selling yours?

I like to test gadgets bro. Plus its been a while since i last played games. Already test out few games and im quite impressed with its performance. No no problems at all just that its time to test other stuff. Hehe. my last gaming laptop is Y500 and the difference is quite significant!

no problem with my wifi reception, speed and stability thus far. I must admit, i, too was worried bout the wifi issues that i've read in multiple sites prior to purchasing the nitro. However, after owning it for nearly two months, i found none of that to be true. The wifi card is working flawlessly. My only gripes is still, the touchpad. Quite unusable at times. But..its an awesome product as a whole.

have fun. I suggest you read the entire thread.

I agree the Atheros card is perfect when the wifi is strong. But try using it in slightly weaker conditions . The problem with on-the-go is you cannot guarantee how strong your wifi will be.
Where i get 3-4 bars with a dell on 7260, i get 1 bar and packet drops on the atheros.

u type on touchpad? why didnt use the keyboard?
