best laptop on a budget - ips display , backlit keyboards, ryzen 3 - i have upgraded mine with 16 gb of ram and 500 SSD storage and unlocked w11s - loving it so far!
I have the exact same laptop, it can play fortnite and warzone very smooth, I get like 120fps in fortnite and 50fps in warzone. I added a 8gb ram stick and 1TB HDD.
@@altzerz Ram is the memory, the more ram you have the more tasks you can have open at once, it gives you speed and efficency, the more ram the better. For the HDD, There are 2 types of storages in now a days comupters Hard Disk Drive (HDD) and Solid State Drive (SSD). SSD is way faster than HDD meaning SSD can open and load programs way faster than the hard disk. So if you want to upgrade ask someone who knows about comupters for help or search on the interent, you can look up what storage and ram is compatible with your laptop and the max upgradable size the computer can handle. Hope I answered your quesstion> BTW I think the max ram upgrade is 20gb or 16gb ram and 4gb comes with the laptop (you can"t remove that 4gb ram it is soldered on the motherboard). I recommend that you get a 8GB DDR4 Ram stick and fill that extra slot and for the storage you could get a 2.5" Sata SSD storage either 128gb 256gb or if you alot you can go for 1 TB.

Hi i have a doubt, this laptop can be used decently for graphic design? For example to use illustrator photoshop or digital art programs like clip studio?
I was looking for a new personal laptop and this might do the trick. I have a dell i7 and when I use davinci resolve or any type of gaming, it snags. but the option to upgrade storage and ram is a huge plus. price on this is great.
There's no danger of overcharging a battery if you leave it plugged in all the time, even 24/7. As soon as it hits 100 percent, it will cease charging and won't start again until the voltage falls below a certain level. Fully discharging a battery will damage it. ~B
Hi, I have a Acer a515-46-r3ub that needs the screen replaced. I'm helping a family member fix it but I don't know where to get the replacement screen or the model needed to do it. Do you know what monitor model I need to order?
Hi Michael! Based on the model number you provided (Acer a515-46-r3ub), I believe the laptop you're referring to is the Acer Aspire 5 A515-46. To replace the screen, you'll need to find a compatible replacement LCD panel that matches the specifications of the original screen. To do this, you can follow these steps: Locate the original screen part number: You can do this by checking the part number on the back of the existing screen or by looking up the specifications for the laptop model online. The part number for the screen may also be listed in the device's documentation. Search for a compatible replacement screen: You can search for the part number of the original screen to find a compatible replacement screen. You can also search for the model number of the laptop to find screens that are compatible with that specific model. Order the replacement screen: Once you've found a compatible replacement screen, you can order it from a reputable supplier or retailer. Replace the screen: After you've received the replacement screen, you'll need to carefully remove the broken screen from the laptop and install the new one. There are many online guides and tutorials that can help you with this process. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions. cnl
@@DigitalDavid Thank you for your reply. I was hoping to find the screen model number without having to take it apart but I guess I'll need to do this to replace it anyways.
Great video! Thanks for sharing. Was wondering if anyone that has this laptop is noticing that CPU usage is way 2 high while idle. Any tips or solutions? Im really trying to give it a chance.
hey what kind of screwdriver and what the size of it i’m currently have open my old broken on but idk what screwdriver it need to open i used a knife on the old one and got the ram out and i really just need know what kind and size of the s were
@@DigitalDavid Thanks for the reply I just bought mine today and wasn’t sure if it was a feature or if it was defective. I also asked on Amazon and got a couple replies there saying theirs beeps too so apparently it’s a feature lol.

Hi there! I am considering getting this laptop (the 8gb ram version) and I'm not sure would it run AutoCAD smoothly (not for extreme 3D work, just 2D), would this laptop be fine for that kind of work?
Hey Digital David I have 2 questions. One is this better then the Acer Aspire 5 A515-45-R74Z with the AMD Ryzen 5500u Hexacore CPU and even the Acer Aspire 5 A515-57-53T2 with Intel i5-1235U? Then my second question is are laptop manufactures doing away with SD card readers because I cant find them on a number of laptops from HP to Dell to Acer to Asus and I think Lenovo is doing the same as well.
Great questions! Really comes down to price or performance and what you want! Very similar but I would give the edge to the i5 but it will cost more $$ here is some helpful info for you: nanoreview.net/en/cpu-compare/intel-core-i5-1235u-vs-amd-ryzen-5-5500u Yeah I think you will be hard pressed to find SD card readers (maybe some high end creator focused laptops still have them) but best solution is to just get a dongle!
Awww bummer! Yeah you'd have to spend 2x the price of this to get a gaming laptop! This is great for everyday use and some light 60fps or less gameplay at 720/1080

For the price you pay it's not bad! Obviously M1 or M2 macs are probably the best bang for buck performance!

Isn't DaVinci a bit heavy for this CPU and GPU?
I have the same laptop. Can I add a 16gb ram in the empty slot?
I believe the max supported for the slot is 16GB bringing the total to 24!
@@DigitalDavid for me it’s 20 total since the computer comes with 4gb ram. Good to know I’m glad because my 16gb ram is on the way.
@@darongreene182 Hello! Did the new ram worked? Can you tell me where can I order it?
Does it hurt to keep the laptop plugged in 24/7? Using like a PC desktop. Meaning keeping on the computer desk like the PC .

Does upgrading ram void warranty
This laptop is designed to be upgraded (ram and SSD) so I don't see why that would void your warranty!!
Does it work good for gaming? Like the sims 4 + pack/cc
Good question! I think it would probably be fine for the sims, but it's not a serious top of the line gaming laptop or anything.

Great video! Thanks for sharing. Was wondering if anyone that has this laptop is noticing that CPU usage is way 2 high while idle. Any tips or solutions? Im really trying to give it a chance.
I'd check what programs you have running in the background and disable what you can at startup!
What type of material is the keyboard deck made of. Mixed plastic material or aluminum?
Aluminum on top of the lid is my guess and the keyboard deck is some sort of plastic!
