QUOTE(ai_m @ Dec 1 2014, 01:02 PM) finally one of my question answered. there are M.2 slot inside this one. Do update us time to time (if you have time), about what your feeling after 1 week of usage, 1 month or anything. I plan to buy this sexy baby. Bear in mind, TechArmory is a retailer for gaming laptop. I doubt they will update much unless more people decide to pick up the laptop, but it should be on display right, storm88 ?

QUOTE(Dbassnut @ Dec 15 2014, 11:13 AM) Hi Storm, Very good review. Most reviews did not mention that the Hard drive isn't screwed into the casing. One question, are the heat sink pipes aluminium or copper? Would it be a good idea to repaste the CPU & GPU with a better paste like diamond or artic when it's new or wait til a year later? Heard that this laptop only has 1 year warranty. but can be extended, correct? Most laptop are copper heatsink but sprayed to black color.

QUOTE(Dbassnut @ Dec 17 2014, 09:14 PM) Hi Storm88, A very good review. I just emailed Acer Malaysia on the M.2 Slot & what SSD can be installed. Their reply " Hi, As per our mail reply previously, SSD design for this model only for cache purpose and not for normal data storage. It can't be upgrade for storage. This model design under performance series. It can be support most of the application with requirement. We don't think any upgrade should make for it. " However in your photo & reviews from other websites, there is mention of a M.2 slot & Acer US installs a 128GB SSD here. Think that they are confusing the cache memory on the hybrid hard drive with the SSD. Now my question. Does the M.2 slot exist on the Acer V Nitro models or has it been removed? Either it has been removed from the Malaysian version of the Acer V Nitro or the tech there not bothered to help check for me. If say don't have, don't to check mah. *sigh* Thanks, The m.2 slot is there.  Below the Left fan, there is a space. That's where the M2 connector is located.

QUOTE(Dbassnut @ Dec 18 2014, 04:08 PM) Getting very ambiguous reply from Acer Tech Support on my question if the laptop has an M.2 Slot & just got a call from Acer Tech Support. So there is a M.2 slot on the laptop. But Acer Malaysia did not install a M.2 SSD. If we install a M.2 SSD on our own, we would void the warranty. Installing anything else that isn't already on the laptop would also void the warranty, for example, RAM, a better harddisk, ect. So if I want to get this laptop, cannot upgrade until out of warranty. Drat & double drat. From the design wise, its telling that already as to reach those port you are disassembling the laptop partially and also voiding the warranty unless the shop is doing so.
