Title: My new laptop
Post by: CarlJohnson on April 30, 2017, 07:37
Hi,
I recently bought a new laptop (finally), had to wait like 10 days to get it delivered due to seller facing some issues whilst delivering it to me, it finally arrived yesterday.
Its's Acer Aspire F15 / F5 573G-59V4, comes with

Intel core i5 7200U - 2.5Ghz up to 3.1Ghz
Nvidia GT 940MX GDDR5 (2GB)
4GB DDR4 Memory/Ram
1 TB HDD

I'll attach the pictures later, I plan on getting an SSD along with more ram (probably 4+4 or 4+8 whichever I can afford lol).

^_^

Yes, but the SSDs are a bit costly, will have to wait for sometime before getting one. I'll first get more memory.

My old laptop is still working, I occasionally use it to code whilst playing games on my new one.

Pictures in the next post :P

M.2 SSDs are a little more costly than regular ones, but they are useful if you have limited hard drive bays. Hard drive bays aren't a problem for me, but I didn't feel like getting the 2.5-3.5 extra thingy for desktops, so I shelled out the extra $10 or $20 for the m.2

If you happen to look into them, I'd recommend the Crucial brand, they are cheaper than say WD or anyone else who makes them, at least they're cheaper on Amazon, with pretty much the same specs.
