I would wonder does palm rests area color will dirt off?

Having bad experience on inspiron 15 last time.

if upgrade warranty into 3 years, I bet price would be different. which almost same with Illegear Z5, just my 2cent

Been research for some brand laptop example like Lenovo Y50-70, Asus G551 or Dell 7447. Finally, made decision go for Acer V Nitro.

Have play around for half day only, my first thought = overall impressive

Pros:
1. Cheap, indeed really affordable gaming laptop compare Lenovo (price: RM3999) or Asus (price: RM3499 but 4gb RAM).
2. Backlit keyboard, kinda like first time having backlit keyboard feel awesome but after a while feel not really useful (myself can type any key without looking on it)
3. IPS screen, advantages any angles viewing on screen without feeling loss color
4. Great surround speaker, still better than 2 speakers on laptop but not much bass produce
5. Great twin cooling fan, I do compare with MSI GE60 first but laptop itself only have one single cooling fan
6. Fast boot up windows 8, estimation around 30seconds or less
7. Not need upgrade RAM. Alot laptop come with 4gb RAM only example Asus G551
8. Really can handle well multitask

Cons
1. Touchpad seem little unresponsive
2. Alot unnecessary Acer application been installed
3. Palm rest on right hand abit feel warm, it could be improve if Acer can consider Aluminium build material.

I do consider for looking Illegear z5 but budget quite tight and its does not come with Windows 8. If added with Windows 8 together cost almost RM4k.

Btw, total damage for buying Acer laptop come with 3 years warranty still cheaper than Illegear z5 without OS.

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

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.

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.
