Review on Acer I5 10300H GeForce Keyboard AN515 55 59KS by Billy Reeves

LCD panel model 'NCP004D' from Panda. NotebookCheck tested this display and found a black-to-white response time of 16.8 ms, a white-to-black response time of 13.2 ms, and a total round-trip time of 30 ms. This means that despite being 144Hz, the time it takes for pixels to appear and disappear doesn't make it any better than a 60fps display. On the scrolling test, 72 fps and 144 fps looked indistinguishable, while 60 fps and 120 fps also looked indistinguishable. The AN515-44-R5FT also has the same LCD panel and I was only able to discover this information by reading the reviews. this product. There's also some backlight bleeding, but it's only noticeable in a dark room with a dark screen. The backlight skipping wasn't annoying enough to be a problem. Also, the display is only 6-bit color, not 8-bit. Aside from the disappointing LCD screen, there are excellent components inside. The i7-9750H processor is very nice and fast, and mine was able to get the voltage down to -150mV consistently. Each CPU is unique, not all CPUs can reach the same undervoltage and run stably. When all cores were running at full speed, the VID was 0.86V, 2.28GHz and 71C. With reduced voltage, VID dropped to 0.8V and speed increased to 2.76GHz. With a single core running at full speed, the VID was 1.2V, 3.9GHz and 92C. Under reduced voltage, the VID dropped to 1.15 V, the speed to 4.3 GHz, and the temperature to 87 °C. Multi-core performance was limited by power, and single-core performance was limited by heat or power. The lower voltage eliminated thermal/power throttling in single-core performance and reduced power throttling in multi-core performance, allowing for higher clock speeds. A big benefit of undervolting here. SSD is a real speed demon. Although it's only 256 GB, it reads at 1077 MB/s and writes at 671 MB/s (372 MB/s constant). The touchpad is ok, it's less sluggish than what I've had on a Dell laptop in the past. dark red keycaps that are difficult to read. Since each laptop has a different layout for the placement of the Insert/Delete/Home/End/Page Up/Page Down keys, you will need to read the keyboard to find these keys. Dark red buttons make it difficult to find such buttons. Also, the volume buttons require two hands to press, as the Fn and up/down buttons are too far apart to reach with one hand. On the old laptop the keys were arranged as "Insert, Delete, Page Up, Page Down, Home, End" while on this laptop they were as "Delete, Home, Page Up, Page Down, End, On/Off". " are arranged ". I use Home and End a lot, so I keep reaching in the wrong place to try to press those keys. I had to pull the power key because otherwise I kept pressing it. I could mess with Getting used to a different keyboard layout over time, it would take a while. Aside from these issues, the keyboard feels very comfortable. There is a long travel that makes typing comfortable, and all the keys on my product worked flawlessly. I have a lot Expected little from the speakers but was surprised when I heard them. Bass notes below 100Hz are really audible on this model. Very quiet but audible. I bet the sound quality could be further improved with proper calibration. The USB and power connectors Connections were very tight, plugging in the power adapter or USB device required more than usual effort and also made a few crackling noises. All in all, I'm talking about a very good computer, but a bad screen.
