Acer Nitro V 15 (ANV15-51) review – successful symbiosis between the Aspire and the Nitro series


Disassembly, Upgrade options, and Maintenance

If you want to have a look at the internals, you have to undo 11 Phillips-head screws. Then, you can pop the bottom plate with a plastic tool starting from one of the top two corners. Under the hood, the laptop looks similar to the Acer Aspire 7 (A715-76G).

The battery isn’t fixed to the chassis with screws because there is a dedicated socket for it on the inside of the bottom panel that is keeping the unit in place.

The battery is a 57Wh model. If you want to remove it, just pull out the connector from the mainboard, and you can lift it away from the base safely. The capacity is enough for 7 hours and 42 minutes of Web browsing, or 6 hours and 40 minutes of video playback. Not bad considering the thirsty H-series CPU and the small battery capacity.

The two SODIMMs fit up to 32GB of DDR5-5200MHz RAM in dual-channel mode. The RAM stick is additionally cooled by a thermal pad.

For storage, you can rely on two M.2 slots – one for Gen 4 and one for Gen 3 SSDs.

The cooling looks good for such a device. It comprises two fans, three heat pipes, one large top-mounted heat sink, a smaller one on the left, as well as two heat spreaders.

Hey Carl, If you want to use it to improve your display, you can purchase the profiles it here. Then, install our LM Profiles app (or another app for .icm profiles, though LM Profiles is the easiest to use, and has a PWM-free brightness slider), and simply drag & drop the profiles into it 🙂 If you’re asking how we created it, we’ve invested in a laboratory equipped with expensive gear, and selling these profiles helps us recoup some of our investment. Alternatively, you could get an entry-level calibrator, like a Spyder, and learn to make display profiles yourself 🙂… Read more »
