    Thanks for the video! I just purchased one of the newest Nitro 5 laptops and will doing some of these same things and it's awesome to see how easy the Acers are to work with! As soon as you touched the back cover I was screaming "you forgot the ram" (but in all caps)! The battery was also still disconnected when you threatened to pull the cord because "the battery is full."

You got a new sub🙂 And should i put my 1tb wd sn850 1tb in the main m.2 slot and the 512 gb in the second slots like you did? Or have i two 4 gen slots maybe? I dont find out that.

    Great informative video, thanks for sharing. Could you please tell me if it is possible to upgrade a nitro 5 core i5 CPU to a core i7. I recently toasted my CPU by sending 25v into t he USB port when working with an Arduino CNC shield by inserting the motor driver backwards 😥. I have now bought a new Nitro 5 but rather than throw out the old one I may get the processor replaced either for an i5 or if possible an i7. Or do you think that there may be many other blown components on the MB? Thank you.

    These laptops are horrible, save yourself the nightmare and select any other brand instead. Horrible SATA connector for 2.5" HDD/SSD, crappy quality fans and heatsink - fans will likely be the 1st things that you will need to replace in 1-2 years. I've worked on many types of laptops, this ones is by far the worst I've ever worked on. Steer clear IMO.

    The fans are sooooooo loud!! Everyone runs out of the room when I turn on the fans. When the PC heats up you have to press the big N button then adjust the fan speed yourself 😂.
