Acer ASPIRE 7 Reviews (A717-71G)

Evaluation 4
Advantages: one of the best deals up to 50k
full gtx1050
sound
fingerprint scanner
Disadvantages: acb
cooling system
Comment: i5 7300HQ / gtx1050 / 6oz / 500gb. I chose this model because a full-fledged gtx1050 is installed, competitors are more expensive by 2-3k with the same har-mi. I can't say anything special about the screen, FULL HD, the picture is of high quality, the opening angle of the lid is much larger than that of ordinary laptops This may be necessary, but this chip has not come in handy for me yet. I liked the sound, after an old lenovo I was delighted with the sound quality, the low frequencies are well expressed, and the volume is enough for so much that there is no need to use portable speakers. fingerprint, triggered 9/10 times. And now the minus that I discovered for myself: the glossy lid is very easily soiled, of course, the minus is so-so, but still not nice, a ribbed or matte surface would be the very thing. About acb a separate word in the game mode of a full battery is barely enough for an hour, but I can tell you that the more powerful the system is, the more it eats resources (energy), in normal mode it is enough for a couple of movies which is basically the norm.And the main disadvantage is the cooling system. The air intake takes place from below and blows from the back wall and the video card is located right below the display in this place and it heats up quite well even when watching a video in YouTube, it’s not very comfortable to keep it on your lap - hot. And when playing for example, FARCRY 4 at the very bottom gives me 20-25 frames, at maximum speed it reaches 5. I tried win10 optimization, turned on the game mode, updated the firewood, chose the discrete card by default, but nothing helps. in the games 2007-2010 at max is the same. on average you can get 30 frames. I sin on the cooling system. I will make cool. I hope this will fix the situation.
P / S: screw here 5400 rpm as an option may be due to him. Well, there is no possibility to add ssd.
Conclusion: on the whole, the laptop is good, for everyday tasks it is 5 points out of 5. but set only 4. I would advise gamers to consider the msi option.

Evaluation 5
Advantages: 1. With a diagonal of 17.3 "very good price
2. Holds the battery well
3. Great view of gaming laptop.
4. Good cooling
5. Core i5 / Core i7 processor
Disadvantages: Not found
Comment: I was looking for a suitable model in return for both work and games. Excellent processor Core i5, a lot of RAM - 16 GB, enough for work and entertainment. The excellent display resolution of 1920x1080 allows you to enjoy not only movies and videos but also computer games. What surprised me the most was the fact that he was holding a charge for 6 hours. Now I can take it with me on the trip, and forget the problem that the battery will soon sit down.

Evaluation 5
Advantages: 1. IPS-matrix.
2. Video card
3. Possibilities of modernization.
4. Price / Quality.
5. The laptop does not look like a gaming laptop, you can carry it to the office.
6. The 1050Ti video card will pull most games at least at medium settings.
Disadvantages: 1. If you do not upgrade, then the HDD is 5400 revolutions. The work is quite slow.
2. Memory is represented by two strips of 4GB each. When upgrading it will be necessary to throw out.
3. There is no information about the M2 connector, whether it supports NVME-SSD. I was afraid to bet.
4. Mark, immediately left prints.
Comment: Review of the model "Acer Aspire 7 A717-71G-50SY NX.GPGER.006". This is which 7300HQ, 1050Ti, HDD-5400, 8Gb of RAM.
Assembled carefully, makes a good impression. Games that I tried: LoL, World of Warships go at maximum settings without problems.
In the future I will put Witcher-3, I will unsubscribe about the results.
This particular model is a good platform for future upgrades. You can install an M2-based SSD drive, or by replacing the built-in HDD-5400. Memory up to 32GB, which can also be useful for the future.
Just a couple of days after the purchase, I installed an SSD M2 drive: "SAMSUNG 850 EVO MZ-N 500000000 MW, N M.2 2280, SATA III", as I see from the previous review in this, I am not original. I wanted to put NVME, but there was no information on the type of plug, I decided not to risk it.
The Windows is put from the boot USB stick, the license sees. Naturally, at first I started up without upgrades and went through all the configuration steps of the existing Windows, and then when I bought the SSD I installed a bare system from scratch, without transferring it from third-party programs.
It is necessary to disassemble accurately:
1. Open the memory compartment, HDD compartment.
2. Unscrew the retaining screws from the HDD and pull it out by disconnecting the Sata cable.
3. Remove the remaining screws.
4. Using a plastic card, carefully undo the cover (there are a lot of small snaps).

I attach the photos in disassembled form after installing the SSD:
1. Close-up on M2 connector (so that you can see the connector key).
2. View as a whole.

The M2 connector, as seen in the picture, has a key that physically allows the installation of NVME-SSD.But in BIOS, Sata0 and Sata1 are indicated there, so I didn’t experiment, there was no free NVME-SSD on hand.

Evaluation 5
Advantages: 1. Power (of course, it is necessary to test it)
2. Appearance
3. Keyboard
4. Screen
5. General laptop ergonomics
Disadvantages: 1. Apparently hdd, but this is not yet personal feelings, but an opinion gathered by bits of reviews online.
2. A strange bug, when entering a password for wi-fi, the Russian language does not change to English, you have to write a password in English in a notebook and copy-paste in the window for entering the password wifi) but the laptop itself, apparently, is not the case))
3. No other flaws yet revealed
Comment: I was looking for a laptop for work (90% of the time) and sometimes drive to the witcher at the weekend. This implies the first obvious plus: it looks decent and solid, in contrast to the gaming laptops, of which 95% are on the market. Taking into account the fact that I wanted the maximum stuffing, so that was enough for the same witcher, the market gave out all sorts of emesai, horns and allenveers ((
But, lo and behold, at the end of December this model appeared in the market !!)

The screen seemed to be without light and broken pixels, after my previous 13 inches, it seems to be a football field, it was more than comfortable to watch and read video and text, I didn’t reveal any problems.

I have little knowledge of hardware, but you will not find such stuffing for such money anymore, the next cellmates either have younger video cards or cost more money.

The Witcher launched: on the ultra settings it’s more than playable, but on the high it’s still more comfortable, I installed the game on a regular hdd The game looks much more dynamic compared to ps 4, perhaps this is due to the large number of FPS on this laptop. I do not play other games, I did not run anything else)

I bought for 97 Krub, I will update the review as far as I use it) until the laptop is beyond praise)

Evaluation 4
Advantages: 1. Excellent configuration (except HDD)
2. Excellent IPS screen
3. Classic look quite gaming laptop
4. Good cooling
5. Best price-performance ratio in the market with a 17 "screen
6. Good sound
7. Pleasant (white) keyboard backlight, which can be turned off if desired
Disadvantages: 1. Very sleek aluminum case.
2. Thick frames around the screen. (This is the fault of almost all 17 "models)
3. Availability of HDD.
Comment: After the purchase, the SSD drive (SAMSUNG 850 EVO MZ-N 50000WW 500GB, M.2 2280, SATA III) was immediately purchased and installed, to which the system was ported, the HDD was left to store photos. The main drawback is a very slim aluminum case, which also has a black color. Prior to this laptop, Sony Vaio (in white), which was purchased in 2012, was used, so on it the screen frame is much thinner and there are no fingerprints on the white color, and the design was a bit higher on the head. In the bottom line, the benefits are much larger, and the disadvantages are not critical. Score 4 * only because of the heavily-soiled hull.
