So eventually bought this model. Turns out wifi antennas doesn't go into monitor backplate and ends under battery. So antenna cables are very short leading to very poor wifi range. Do not recommend buying this laptop if need good wifi range.5ghz wifi barely sees my router in other room while older model AN515-54 have full range.
Thermal pads are usually on the bottom plate and they cover the SSD's when you put the plate back on. I have seen this as standard on Acer and ASUS laptops in the last 5 years. No need to buy other pads. If this were PCIe Gen 5, then you really need the extra cooling.
I need a replacement battery for mine and the one installed is an Acer AP21D8M..however when looking for another one it is nowhere to be found. It only suggests AP18E7M batteries. Is that even compatible? I'd appreciate the help.

You can find exact ram Modules in Sale. But, you can place not the exact Module. In fact, this Thing will work wiith 8+16GB prette fast in a mixed Mode. IF you want only gaming, 8+8 is the Best. Do some Hard work(science projects, programming, etc.) - 24GB of ram. IF you have enough Budget, then buy 32, or even a better version with rtx 3060 or 3070 and 32GB of ram. To know: this Thing gets REALLY HOT ON CPU, trottle on Max in Aida64. It is great for using cpu not on full Power.
Have my like, i really just wanted to see inside of the one I'm getting to see what i can do about the 8gb of memory and only a 512gb m.2. Good to know that i can take the SSD im using in my old device and move it over and get some cheap ram for a nice upgrade. 👍

Can you sacrifice the 2.5 inch bay for a bigger battery
