Let’s compare the two and see what the differences are, help you decide which one you should get, and find out if it’s worth upgrading from the older model.

    Had it for about 5 months, still holding up great (I’m pretty hard on it too, playing games (Microsoft flight sim, gta, fortnite, cities skylines) and photo/video editing). One thing is I would suggest expanding the ram to 16 gigs and getting an external/internal hard drive (SSD) because you will run out of space fast and the extra ram allows me to multitask much better. Sorry for not being super technical but yeah that’s what I’ve observed.
    Ps: be careful with the screen, it has a lot of flex and my friend actually broke his screen. Computer def cheaps out mainly on the build quality, tho it’s not super bad but yeah definitely be mindful

    2021 review for the 2018 model.
    Best bang for your buck.
    Bought 2 of the 2018 models for $729 each wo/tax on Amazon for my teenage daughters and they were pleasantly surprised that they were able to Minecraft w/shaders at 60 FPS when you tweak the settings on the game. With any laptop, you get what you pay for. If you're looking to play games at 200 FPS with Ultra Res, this laptop is not for you. But for default settings, I will recommend even the 2018 model. Great review on both machines. Like and Sub'd

    Great video, Jarrod. I'm personally using the Ryzen 5 2018 model, & compared to the Ryzen 5 2019 model, I am not at all bothered by the performance differences but I do find the slimmer bezels and overall slimmer+lighter body a welcome change specially for those who bring this on the go. Would have preferred they kept the same faux carbon fiber texture on the lid though, but that's just me.
    1 question: are the charging bricks the same size & weight for both models?

    I have the Nitro AN515-54 model with the i5-9300H and GeForce 1650, it does run a tad hot (for my tastes) but I have never had it go above 85c while gaming after doing some maintenance to it. First I noticed an improvement in boot times when I swapped the slot the m.2 drive was in to the empty slot, and upgraded the ram from 8GB to 16GB. I also removed all of the factory applied thermal paste and used some high quality Gelid GC-Extreme, this dropped temps about 2-3c. I ran a handy little free app called Windows10Debloater to remove some of the Windows 10 and Acer installed bloatware. Right now the laptop is idling between 35 to 40c CPU fan is at 1910 and GPU fan is at 1886 and barely audible this is using the Balance power plan and auto fan control. All in all it's a good little laptop for light to medium gaming at 1080p, the one reviewed in the video can do more thanks to the faster CPU and GPU. You can't really go wrong with this laptop it will work fine in all but the latest game titles running max settings, you will have to turn down settings to get playable frame rates, but with the smaller screen it's not as noticeable.

  • @axxdrian
    @axxdrian 5 лет назад +1

    I have an i5 9300h + 1650 + a 144hz display, I tried every undervolting method yet it seemed to still hit 90C, (without uv it reaches 96). I have a riser stand which lets it breathe freely, it made me use it conservatively but I found an ingenious solution to prolong my cpu life. When I plan to play for a long time, I disable the turbo boost function through throttlestop, it like makes the cpu temps not reach 70C at all, but some fps gets snatched, so I also have another trick where I lessen the turbo multiplier (instead of boosting to 3.5-4GHz, I limited my cpu to only boost 3.1-3.2GHz) it doesn't make a difference at all, plus a moderate undervolt is thrown in to sort of help.
    I always watch your videos lol
    Edit: another helping option is though it's tempting to crank most settings to max, I tried to balance out certain game details which do not have a huge gameplay impact.

    • @JarrodsTech
      @JarrodsTech  5 лет назад +1

      @zgoaty9235 5 лет назад

      Adrn Ncso The thermal paste application is definitely bad if that’s the case. I would look up how to replace the paste with a better compound like TG Kryonaut (meaning potentially disassembling the laptop a good amount if the cooling assembly isn’t immediately accessible) if you feel confident in replacing it.
      Just did this with my Alienware 17 R5 with the i9 8950HK and GTX 1070, and it went from thermal throttling at 3.9 GHz to just barely reaching thermal limits at 4.5 GHz under heavy load with max fans with a .167 mV undervolt. It is a bit nerve-racking at first, but following a good guide is all I needed and all you’ll need, and it was well worth it. I’m thinking I’ll probably drop the CPU down to 4.3 GHz just to keep it at a good temperature but we’ll see.

    • @axxdrian
      @axxdrian 5 лет назад

      zgoaty92 I got it repasted at Acer's main service center on my country, I watched own or disown's livestream with msi afterburner running and it seems like we have same temps (reaching 92c) on stock cpu settings and max fans

    • @zgoaty9235
      @zgoaty9235 5 лет назад

      Adrn Ncso I will tell you right now, the paste they used probably wasn’t the best quality, but unfortunately the service reps there are required to use whatever Acer allows them to use and nothing else, so they probably used the same paste as what was used from the factory, which will do fine at base frequencies like what you were using by disabling turbo boost, but throttle at max turbo frequencies.
      Do what makes you most comfortable for your use case though. If you’re good with the lower frequencies, then you don’t need to do anything; but if you want to get it to run at max CPU clocks, you will most likely need to repaste it yourself with a better quality paste (again like Kryonaut). Also, getting an iFixit driver set will help immensely if you do plan to repaste.

    The Nitro is good, but I’m still kinda disappointed that Acer hasn’t decided to have a 17.3” option for the Nitro. Great review and comparison of both, but the upgrade of the 2019 model isn’t something most people will upgrade to if they already own the 2018 model. I would simply upgrade to the 2019 just for the monitor screen brightness since it’s a noticeable improvement over the 2018 model

    Great review man. loved it.
    A few doubts though which resists me from buying this gadget 2019 version. I am buying for college. Programming is the main purpose and rare gaming.
    1) Does the fan sound gets so annoying. Because I might need to use it in libraries.
    2) By not playing heavy games or do any graphic intensive tasks like video editing , how much time does the battery lasts and how much time is needed to power it up?
    3) was it durable . will it long lasts at-least for minimum of 5 years.
    4) is there any issues after using for a certain period of time and how is the service and support ?
    Thanks in Advance

      @JarrodsTech  4 года назад +3

      That's weird, you should have always needed to play plugged into AC power for good performance. Gaming on battery power isn't really a thing, batteries simply can't provide enough constant flow of power for good performance. My guess is the battery degraded over time with use and can't output as much to run better, assuming you didn't accidentally enable something like Nvidia battery boost. If you have AC wall power in range, you should always be using it, both for better performance, and to save the battery. The best way to kill the battery is to run through constant discharge/recharge cycles.
