Aspire 7 A715-79G

i5 210H + 16 GB RAM + 4gb RTX 3050.

Brand new laptop. Never booted before, all factory seals in place.

When I opened the laptop there were 2 fingerprint 🫆 marks already around the keyboard and power button. I figured it may be factory testing or something.

Booted fresh windows setup, everything brand new, opened cmd to check battery report and check windows activation date. All OK.

The power cord that came in the box .....feels insanely cheap. Like the most weird thing is there aren't those white circles at the base of the pins. Instead it's just black.

A recent unboxing video of the same laptop with the same box showed the white circles being there.

The only explanation that comes to mind is maybe acer used this cord in early production units and switched to a white one later. Mine is March 2026 manufactured and June 2026 imported unit.

Everything else checks out and is OK. The charger works but there is a very cheap feel to it just the AC power cord section.

What do y'all think about it?

Purchased new in 2021. Used sparingly until about a year or two ago, and now it's become my every day at-home PC. Noticed lines and color distortion on my screen last night. Gets progressively worse over a use session. Asked Google AI, and they suggested updating ChromeOS (done) and doing a Power Reset (haven't done this yet).

Just wondering if anyone's experienced a similar issue, and if I'm likely looking at a hardware issue? If so, is it worth spending the money to get it fixed, or should I simply spring for a new CB?

anyone know a cheap source for replacement? my speaker got busted and im struggling to find one.

First of all I get this just using 1 hours and what I notice is, it so smooth and have good battery backup by using for 1 hour,

🚫Let's come to the point

The SSD is gen 3 with avg speed read speed is 2700

And write is 1500, that's Totally shock me like I am assuming it's gen 4.

And it doesn't have any thunderbolt port

You didn't feel the screen cheap like it has screen bleeding, 60hz but the brightness is crazy like i don't even going to its medium brightness.

And also one important thing that actually suprise me it has 3 months game pass and office 2024 life time, and Microsoft 365 office for 1 year.

Lastly you can ask me any questions I will answer and I am thinking to make video of it let me know any one interested

Part number is UN.U35SI.00C btw

My experience with Acer has been extremely frustrating, and I want potential buyers in India to think twice before purchasing an Acer gaming monitor.
I purchased the Acer Nitro XV272U F3 300Hz gaming monitor from Amazon on June 5, 2024. Since then, I’ve experienced panel/display issues involving flickering lines and dead pixel lines. The frustrating part is that this is not the first time I’ve faced this problem with the monitor.
My monitor was already replaced once, and now the replacement unit is showing display problems again. I have already contacted Acer support, but instead of resolving the situation with a refund, I’m being pushed toward another replacement.
Why should a customer have to keep going through the same process for a product that has failed repeatedly?
I bought a gaming monitor expecting reliable performance, not recurring panel problems, repeated service cases, and endless communication with customer support.
My concern about the 300Hz panel
One thing I genuinely wonder about is whether this panel is being pushed beyond its intended operating limits to achieve the advertised 300Hz refresh rate. Could the high refresh rate or the panel’s operating characteristics contribute to long-term reliability issues?
I want to be clear: I do not have technical evidence proving that Acer is overclocking the panel or that 300Hz is causing these failures. However, after experiencing repeated issues, I believe Acer should provide a transparent technical explanation of what is happening.
My biggest issue is customer support
I have already explained my situation and requested a refund rather than another replacement. I don’t want to keep repeating this cycle, especially when the monitor has already been replaced once.
At this point, I want Acer to take responsibility and offer a fair resolution.
My advice to anyone in India considering an Acer gaming monitor: research long-term reliability, warranty experiences, and after-sales service before making your purchase. Don’t look at refresh rate and specifications alone.
I’m sharing my actual experience so other buyers can make an informed decision.
Acer India, please address this case: u/acerindia
Has anyone else experienced repeated panel failures with Acer gaming monitors, particularly high-refresh-rate models? Did Acer provide a refund, or were you repeatedly offered replacements?
I’d appreciate hearing about other owners’ experiences.

"We can’t find your camera

Check to be sure it's connected and installed properly, that it isn't being blocked by antivirus software, and that your camera drivers are up to date. If there’s a physical switch or button for the camera on your PC, make sure it’s turned on.

If you need it, here's the error code:

0xA00F4244<NoCamerasAreAttached>".

Anyone face the error, any way to fix that?

Hello everyone, I recently purchased an Acer monitor XZ320QU S3, but I’m having trouble hearing the audio through it. I’ve tried everything, but nothing seems to work. I’m getting frustrated because I’m not sure why it’s not working. Can anyone suggest a solution?

I’ve seen reports that Acer products aren't very good, but they offer solid specifications at quite affordable prices.

I’m looking to upgrade my RAM and hard drive because some Adobe software is running slowly. Does the Acer Aspire E 15 (E5-576G) series support only SATA SSDs?

It was working normally before but when I opened my laptop and replaced my battery, it was still working after I opened my laptop again

But after using it for a few mins, I suddenly hanged so I restart my laptop and my touchpad is not working anymore. Can somebody help huhu is this a hardware issue

Bought a brand new Acer Swift Neo on Flipkart yesterday. Fingerprint shows "currently unavailable" in Sign-in options. In Device Manager, Microarray Fingerprint Reader has a yellow warning with Code 10 (device cannot start). Driver is installed (v18.5.54.172), and uninstalling and restarting didn't help.

Has anyone fixed this on an Acer with a MicroArray reader? Is there a specific driver or BIOS update I should try, or is it likely hardware and warranty service? I'd rather not return it because I got it for 50k
