    An exactly similar laptop with same specifications, is available in Sri Lanka and it's known as Acer E5 (or E15) - 575G. However, this model is sold by Metropolitan only under their "Laptop Loans for University Students" programme.

    The first stock arrived with a 4 GB DDR4 RAM (and with Windows 10 Home). The present stock which they sell (same model) has an 8 GB DDR4 RAM (but without Windows 10). And yeah, this model has an Nvidia 940MX GPU :)

    It's powered by an Intel Core i5 6200U CPU along with a Full HD Display.

    Has F15 got an SSD in it? Actually, E15-575G has a 1 TB mechanical HDD and not an SSD. I bought the 4 GB RAM version and replaced the existing Optical Drive with an SSD and upgraded the RAM to 8 GB (in the near future, will make it 16 GB). For the laptop, it cost me Rs. 75,900 and for SSD + 8 GB RAM, it cost me about Rs. 30,000 :yes:

    Full HD means 1920 x 1080 resolution :baffled:

    Are the laptop prices in NZ much higher than the prices of SL market? However, for the general market, Metropolitan sells E5-574G which is older than 575G. If someone wants a laptop that has similar specs to that of 575G, it costs about Rs. 100,000 (yet 574G has a DDR3 RAM and 920MX GPU if I'm correct).

    I'm not sure how Metropolitan offers this laptop for this kind of an attractive price. It's damn worth the money :yes:

    :yes: It's available in Amazon for $550 :baffled: I don't think that, for general day to day work, the HD or Full HD resolutions, would make a highly effective difference. Personally I love the Full HD displays for its clarity. But for the first few days, I used to view everything in 100% size which in turn gave me pains in the eyes (because of small letters). Now I make sure that I zoom it to 125% in chrome and it's better. And in windows, I've kept it at 100% because it does not affect my eyes at all.

    ayya this E5-575G has an M2.2280 SSD Slot, so I believe that your model might have got such a slot. If you're going to buy an SSD, check the availability of the slot for the M2 SSD :) I got to know about the existence of M2 slot only after buying the regular 2.5" SSD :( Since I had anyway decided to get rid of the Optical drive, I went ahead and made the modification (through a metropolitan service center). With SSD, this laptop is lightening fast! :)

    $550 in US $ is not equal to NZ$
    its like $800 in NZ$

    I payed $1050 after looking everywhere. intel graphics model is like NZ$750 with same other configuration. :yes:
    I7 model was like $1200 and amd with radeon graphics model Acer E5 was around $900.
    This was the best option for me.

    Now you've got a 940MX and it's time to start mid to lower-high end gaming :cool: I would love to test GTA V (or whatever the last release of GTA), but still didn't get it. It's around 60 GB lu neh.. :baffled:
