I have this AN-515-57 RTX3060 version, but the problem is the battery. According to the advertisement, it can last 8 hours, but why does mine last less than 2 hours? Weird. Should I buy a new battery or what? It seems the battery has always been in that condition since the first time I purchased it. Please, I need an explanation.

Need manual tuning to the power plan. But the laptop will be extremely slow.

I recently purchased a Samsung 980 Pro 1TB for an upgrade. I placed it in the second slot, but it is only showing a speed of 3,500 MB. What can I do to increase its speed to its full capacity? Should I try plugging it into slot 1 instead of slot 2?

The motherboard on this laptop supports a PCIE Gen 3 slot, maxing out at 3500. So if you buy a gen 4 PCIE SSD, (which is compatible with the gen 3 slot.) you'll only get the maximum speed of the GEN 3 slot, since that is what is on the motherboard. P.S However you may want to buy a gen 4 PCIE, in case you want to upgrade laptops again later, you can take the SSD from this one, and the new laptop that you would be buying in the future would likely support PCIE Gen 4, so then you wouldn't need to go buy another GEN 4 SSD. And if you build a desktop/tower, it will also accept the Gen 4 SSD and will get the maximum speeds from it, so long as the motherboard on the new computer you buy has a gen 4 PCIE slot.

Hi All, Can anyone confirm for me that it has a Secondary M.2 slot and 1 SSD or SATA drive slot available? As I just saw another Acer an515-44-r0xr, which has 2 M.2 slots and 1 SSD or SATA slot available with Ryzen 5 4800H, 12Gb RAM, and the same NVidia card. I would like to use it as Premiere Pro for editing, which one is better for editing, either this Acer with i5 or the Ryzen 5 I mentioned, kindly let me know. Thanks

Yes, secondary M.2 and SATA slot available. But SATA slot requires additional proprietary adapter to connect a new drive.
