    Sorry to be a letdown, but thought you guys should know about the reviews written on HN for the laptop:

    ★ 1 out of 5 stars.
    · 11 days ago
    Slow and not as advertised

    I bought this machine from havery Norman thinking it will be a nice simple laptop for a budget price. The laptop was advertised with a processor speed somewhere around the 2 GHz mark. In fact it's only 1.8. The ram included is only 2 gig. But expandable. Upon having a look at the motherboard there is only 1 ram stick spot. So to upgrade I would have to throw away the included ram and spend more money on another stick. And to add insult to injury the laptop has now dropped in price just weeks after I bought it. Never again going to Harvey Norman.

          As for whether 1600mhz works I will find out soon. I figure I can always get my money back (resell) if it doesn't.

        http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-Technology-1600MHz-PC3-12800-…

        Rated high on Amazon. On staticice for 11c less if you can pickup, otherwise mine was easily the best price going and I should have it tomorrow.

        • mattoo on 14/05/2015 - 11:23

          Just to confirm - theres nothing wrong with using 1600mhz right? It will just run at 1333mhz and nothing will be damaged?

        • Click_It on 14/05/2015 - 11:26

          @mattoo:

          Only experienced this on desktops where the PC recognises it at the lower supported speed, in this case 1333mhz, voltages all remain the same so it's not possible to hurt it.

          Hopefully the same applies for this laptop. Laptops can be fussier with ram but I'm quietly confident.

        • Click_It on 14/05/2015 - 11:41

          @mattoo:

          Not the same laptop (but similar) just read this from Amazon comments.

          Dropped right into my assus x55a, My computer only supports 1333mz ram(something i didn't realize) so these run at that speed with no problems on my machine

        • mattoo on 14/05/2015 - 13:56

          Alrighty thanks - I guess I'll get 1600mhz so I can reuse it for other laptops if this one starts dying.

    Just killed my old clevo notebook and unluckily my tablet died.

    So I Picked one up just now, no dvd drive but looks like it can be added.
    I have one laying around so will try and report back.

    While I have it open, will do a repaste and maybe upload a vid of what the motherboard looks like inside.

    Would also recommend a program called throttlestop, popular and free on notebook forums, it seems to be able to maintain the CPU at the boost frequency at 2.2ghz.

    I'll be putting my SSD in and intend to have the optical drive bay swappable with the original HDD and my DVD drive.

    Certainly needs a ram upgrade, 4gb stick should be enough for me. Probably pick one up on ebay.

    Apart from that, really surprised with the overall look and feel. Keyboard seems fine to type on and screen is nice. Just colours seem off, could possibly need calibration.

    Can't believe how cheap notebooks are getting.

      • Moral hazard on 15/05/2015 - 22:43

        So far only have placed abother hdd in the optical bay that was empty.
        simple to remove with just 1 screw.

        It's a slim bay so make sure you have a slim optical drive or hdd caddy.

        As far as thermal paste goes, replaced it however it was not a bad application from factory. Wouldn't actually recommend repasting straight away.

        One thing I noticed is if you do take the case apart to upgrade ram or the hdd, be mindful of how you put the bottom back on. Mind the audio jack.

        • kazander18 on 16/05/2015 - 15:56

          When you say slim bay, do you mean a 9.5mm one, as opposed to the 12.7mm one?

        • regenade on 24/05/2015 - 14:15

    • Jackson on 14/05/2015 - 22:50

      Will throttlestop affect battery life and coolness though?

        From my minimal testing, it's still running cool enough where I don even hear the fan.

        Yes battery life would be affected, but there is an option in throttlestop to only be enabled while plugged in on AC power.

      Also noticed my notebook came with a bios password, have no idea how it was possible given the thing was sealed.

      Anyway when you enter a password wrong 3 times it produces a hash (8 digits) for you that you can use with this program called pwgen-insyde:

      Changing RAM is easy, kind of like a battery. It just pops out and you replace it with the new one.

      That's good news! I watched a video on upgrading an acer es1-511 (the 15in one) and it looked really complicated since the ram was on the other side of the motherboard so you had to unscrew the motherboard and flip it. I thought this 14in one would be the same but I guess it isn't :) thank goodness

    Not a bad deal for the D7200 (Cheapest Australian stock- StaticIce) which isn't mentioned in OPs post. By the way add some damn Nikon & JBHIFI Tags! took me 5 minutes to re-find the post :)

    D750 as well is a good deal - almost on par with grey import at DWI:

    Just had a play with this Acer Laptop at JB in Brighton, the error message on the screen complained of running out of memory. Not encouraging on a brand new machine. Or is this a warning that a load of bloatware needs to be deleted pronto?

    Goddamnit - took too long… it looks like it's been ozbargained..

    The ACER laptop that is.

    Got one, thanks mate!

    Can someone please explain how to upgrade from HDD to SSD? I want to remove all the bloatware. So I'm guessing I should somehow create a Win8 USB from the recovery partition, and then use the USB to install Win8 into the SSD?

    Thanks so much!
