Posted June 12, 2019 Hi all, I'm looking for the new 2019 model of the Acer Aspire 7, it comes equipped with 9th gen i7 and a GTX 1650. You could find the first version, equipped with the Kaby Lake-G series and a Vega MG L but this version it's been scrubbed. Does anyone have any news on it? Where to get it or if it's been actually delayed? This thing it's been shown for the first time at IFA 2018 last year in Germany and it should be out already. From what I can gather it's being released in April of this year but it's nowhere to be seen. Same goes for the new 2019 series of Swifts, Spin and Chromebook 714 and 715...all laptops I'm interested in too as alternatives. I've been stalking this machine for almost a year, it's my perfect next laptop, does anyone have any hints? Thanks. This is what I know so far: https://news.acer.com/select-acer-notebooks-will-ship-with-nvidia-geforce-gtx-16-series-gpus https://gadgets.ndtv.com/acer-aspire-7-2019-13011 https://www.ultrabookreview.com/26511-acer-aspire-7-a715-73g-review/ https://www.notebookcheck.net/Acer-unveils-the-Aspire-7-and-Aspire-5-with-Intel-Kaby-Lake-G-and-Whiskey-Lake-U-options.327060.0.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My budget is preferably between 700-1200$. My usage is for regular productivity, occasional gaming and occasional graphics designing. Dimentions can vary but I'd prefer something portable enough under 2 Kg weight. Around 5 hours battery life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate the effort but I have found none of the recent 2019 model laptops locally: 9th gen Intel CPUs and neither Nvidia GTX 16 series or RTX laptops for that matter, that is why I'm looking for alternatives directly from the US. Here everyone insists on selling laptops from 1 and a half years ago like recent products and are not even trying to create sales to get rid of these leftovers nobody clearly wants. I have found most of the models I'm interested in the US: 2019 Dell G series, 2019 Acer Nitros, but the one I like the most and is the most compatible with my needs, the Acer Aspire 7, I still cannot find it sold anywhere.

Posted July 16, 2019 Hey there OP! I just found your post by Google search when I was looking for reviews for this exact model. I actually discovered the Aspire 7 A715-74G (not to be confused with the Kaby Lake 72G) when searching for computers on the official online store for Acer hosted on the Chinese equivalent of Amazon (Taobao). I live in China BTW. It seems that this model is only available in China, New Zealand, and possibly Germany or Netherlands. I found a few online stores with nz domains selling it and I am only guessing for the last two countries since I could only find some entries for directory style websites from these countries. You might have to hold your breath a bit longer if you are waiting for it to be released in the US. For your reference, it is retailing for around 900 USD.

I know it's not RTX, but who gives a damn if no games are still available after 7 months plus I wont look like a kid carrying it around from home to work. It's what I need right now, I have seen worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 29, 2019 Author On 7/28/2019 at 7:25 AM, GeneXiS_X said: so you're fine with lower end GPU like MX150 and 1050? I am not. I'm aiming at a GTX 1650 at most, 1660ti only if the price and overall specs are a good deal. I'm looking for an all-rounder laptop with good battery life (5+ hours) that can play some occasional games. By the way there was a good all-rounder I liked some time ago that I notices it just got updated with a GTX 1650 MAXQ but it's on the expensive side, it's MSI PS63 Modern with 10 supposed hours of battery life. When evaluating it against other expensive similar laptops of the same price bracket an XPS 15 with a full GTX 1650 is better at this price point and it has a thunderbolt 3 port with a full size SD card slot, much better screen an way thinner but it's too much for me. I have a budget of 1000-1200$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted August 1, 2019 Quote 1200$ under 2 Kg weight atleast a gtx 1650 +4-5 hrs laptop for less than 1200$ XPS 15 is mediocre, PS63 and Zenbook Pro are out of your budget Honestly I would go for gaming laptops, however either you need to sacrifice on weight (max 2.3kg) or battery life (3-4 hrs) Desktop specs: Spoiler AMD Ryzen 5 5600 Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE ARGB Gigabyte B550M DS3H mATX Asrock Challenger Pro OC Radeon RX 6700 XT Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (8Gx2) 3600MHz CL18 Kingston NV2 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD Montech Century 850W Gold Tecware Nexus Air (Black) ATX Mid Tower Laptop: Lenovo Ideapad 5 Pro 16ACH6 Phone: Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro 8+128 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
