Well Acer Aspire V Nitro will also stop charging your battery at some point though.

Not sure why you want it or what do you want, so here it is:

You used what laptop before this?

Previously im using V Nitro, now already changed to Y50 and totally in love with it. And yes i love the conservative mode which stops the battery from charging at 55%-60%.

sadly they didn't accept my request , they just replaced the heatsink module.

Yeah.. Lenovo Energy Management right
Previously Y580

If not for the TN panel and slightly more bulky, I would have bought Y50 too My first ever Acer really, I must say not really that satisfy

Trust me bro, ive used the Nitro i used to recommend ppl to go for it but now honestly there's nothing that i really missed about it. Even the not really satisfying "IPS" display on it. To me the most beautiful IPS display ive ever used is on the MSI GE60 Samsung PLS.

Plus the cooling difference, Y50 performs great averaging around 72C in Battlefield 4 while Nitro averaging around 87C with same settings.

And also the build quality, on Nitro u got to be really careful with the material that they use on the body especially on the cover lid. (Easily scratch and chip off).

Last but not least, the Lenovo Energy Management as uve mentioned. Overall Y50 is better in every way except for the TN Panel which i already got used to after a week of using it.

When I'm buying the nitro, I poisoned my friend to get Y50 too haha and yep, Build/Material quality is inferior compared to Y50, backlit on Y50 keyboard is a lot better too. I take care of my laptop really well (OCD haha) and there's already chip on the surface coating at the bottom near the rubber stand

Wellll, got Acer cus of its design (prefer more 'typical' looking laptop) and IPS screen, but ended up buying a Monitor cus my unit have a 'white spot' on screen and also a dead pixel, which I quote the service center girl saying "dead pixel tu standard la" I believe few here also having this prob. Went service center twice ady now still waiting for part.

Ya bro, thats why i said the IPS screen is really not up to standard. I also have the white spot issue before this. Its really annoying, and also a small white pixel on the screen. And the screen quality is also not good, as the screen surface somehow quite easy to catch dirt and its hard to clean it when compared to other laptop screen. I dont know maybe i got a lemon unit thus i already sell it and feel "lega" gila after that. yup the rubber surface on nitro really annoying. I remember last time i got plenty of chipping. Padahal i take good care of the laptop.

Then have your issues been fix after replacing the heatsink?

Hi, got the VN7-591G-744N recently and thinking of tossing in an SSD to work alongside the included SSHD. Can that be done on this model and has anyone successfully done that and also cloned the SSHD contents onto the new SSD, to preserve license, content etc? Plan to use the SSD for OS & programs, SSHD for other data. Might up the RAM to 16GB also for virtual machines.

P.S. Will the warranty be void?

Hi all!

I am a new member, based on Italy. I registered on this forum mainly because of this thread I hope I am welcome!
So I recently bought the 591G (4720HQ, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD and 960m 2GB). I ordered it a few days ago and I hope to receive it soon, should be in my hands before the next weekend. Paid around 930€ for it (shipped and taxed).
I also ordered an SSD drive, the M.2 SATA 250GB Crucial MX200, to toss in alongside the mechanical hard drive that is already inside. I was thinking to dual boot Win/Linux, so both OSes will be installed on the SSD.

As I already stated, I hope to receive the machine soon; I didn't read each single post in this thread (it is a bit long), I will slowly do it when I have time. But I want to be prepared for when I will get my hand on the computer, so I have a few question if you're nice enough to answer.

1) Is someone kind enough to summarize all the flaws/problems that have emerged about this notebook? Can you also share your personal experiences?
2) Is someone also kind enough to summarize what I should do/check as soon as I receive the laptop (maybe things that were discovered to improve performance/usability, things that I should absolutely avoid and be aware of or problems that my unit may have and I should check immediately)?

All in all, I think this is an awesome machine for its price; I hope I will not be disappointed, can't wait to receive it.

I will wait for some answers, many thanks to anyone who will take his/her time to help me through.

Aint a user but do check out post number one for the fan/heat issue and ENJOY the LAPTOP!!!!

Thanks a lot for the input! Will check it out for sure.


Still waiting for more detailed replies.

Issued has been fixed.

C'mon folks, answers to this would be deeply appreciated.

Can that be done on this model - yes

and has anyone successfully done that and also cloned the SSHD contents onto the new SSD, to preserve license, content etc? yes

Plan to use the SSD for OS & programs, SSHD for other data. Might up the RAM to 16GB also for virtual machines.

warranty - grey area - really depend on acer, altho based on what i read there are no stickers to stop you

That clarifies things a lot. Thanks. I was aware of it being done on models sold in other countries and the 17 inch, but wasn't sure if the same internals & techniques also applied to the ones manufactured for the Malaysian market.

Hi, I am currently thinking to buy this laptop. As I scroll through this thread, I am kinda worry about the heating issue of this laptop.

But to be honest, I am not a heavy gamer as I use 2D CAD program for work only. Is there any owner here uses CAD program? Will CAD program like AutoCAD causes overheating issue?

Thanks in advance!

hey everyone,

I'm thinking about getting the Acer V Nitro. Checked around LYN, Digital Mall, Lelong, IPMart, Lazada etc. So far the cheapest is at IPMart. Has anyone bought from there before? am skeptical because i read somewhere they are middlemen only. Any ideas?

^lowyat got promotion at ground floor. it ends this sunday though.
