So white spot on the screen is very common eh? I too kinda regret getting v nitro. Can see the coating coming off already altho its mostly on my desktop. Performance is good. Screen is nice to look at,except for that white spot. I thought of giving acer a chance..but I think I wont buy acer anymore.

If yours is like mine.. You can add on the M2 SSD drive and clone the OS onto it, then format the current 1TB and use as a "Data" drive. Both drives will remain inside the laptop.. The OS is typically the C: drive currently located on the default 1TB SSHD drive that shipped with the laptop. SSHD stands for solid-state hybrid drive. It's a traditional hard disk with a small amount of solid-state storage built in, typically 8GB. So the 8GB hybrid part, IMO, is a section (memory) that simulates the effects of an SSD.

Basic explanation...  smile.gif

I get it.. so practically there is no second "8gb ssd" right? I cant remember exact model no.. its 15inch.. nvdia 860.. 1tb hdd model. Any idea how to clone fresh os to the m2 ssd,? Did a quick search on amazon... mostly is m2 enclosure to usb 3.. dont need the enclosure actually..

Do a search within this thread or at least my previous posts.. I believe I and another user who successfully installed an SSD, have discussed the steps. Word of advice, make sure to buy the right fit and buy local also. The difference in costs to shipping from overseas is negligible. Also, to avoid warranty issues, make sure to reconfirm from Acer that adding in an SSD won't void the warranty. If possible have the installation & cloning done by an expert.

Thinking of diy... haha.. but still under warranty.. oh well might need to source locally. Prices from amazon too tempting.

I'm a DIY type person too.. However, I've done extensive reading and seen videos, all showing that opening up and closing this laptop is a real pain. You have to get in from the top, removing the keyboard, etc.. Can I risk it? Sure, but it's not worth it, at least to me. You might have better hardware tearing and building skills than I, so go ahead..?  smile.gif

Nah.. Maybe not, because i bought extended warranty... So might not be wise to void it. Thanks anyway for your tips rclxms.gif
