FAQs
What is the primary benefit of Intel® Unison™?
Intel® Unison™ allows you to seamlessly connect your laptop with your smartphone, enabling you to transfer files and photos, send/receive calls and text messages, and manage phone notifications directly from your PC.
Can this laptop be used for demanding video editing?
While the Intel® Core™ 7 processor and 32 GB RAM provide good performance, the integrated Intel® Graphics may not be sufficient for very demanding, professional-level video editing. For such tasks, a laptop with a dedicated graphics card is typically recommended.
How do I access AcerSense™?
You can access AcerSense™ by pressing the dedicated AcerSense Key located at the top of the keyboard. This tool helps manage and maintain your system.
Is the laptop upgradeable?
The RAM is LPDDR5 and typically soldered to the motherboard, making it non-upgradeable. The 1 TB M.2 SSD is usually user-replaceable with another M.2 NVMe SSD of larger capacity.
What is Acer BlueLightShield™?
Acer BlueLightShield™ is a technology that reduces the amount of blue light emitted from the display, helping to reduce eye strain during long periods of use.
Does the laptop come with a webcam?
Yes, it features a 1080p webcam designed to enhance video calls with features like Acer PurifiedView™.
Troubleshooting
Laptop is slow or unresponsive
Close unnecessary applications, restart the laptop, and check for pending Windows updates. Ensure the cooling vents are not blocked.
Wi-Fi connection is unstable
Restart your router and the laptop. Ensure you are within range and check if Wi-Fi 6E drivers are up to date. Try forgetting and rejoining the network.
Intel® Unison™ not connecting
Ensure both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network, the Intel® Unison™ app is installed and updated on both the phone and laptop, and Bluetooth is enabled on both devices.
