    Acer Aspire 7 A715-73G in-depth review

    You need a sleek and powerful device, but you don't want to pay a ton of money to get it? Yep, you are part of one of the biggest target groups of the new generation. As such, you might be interested in the device we have for you today. It comes from Acer and its name is Aspire 7 (A715-73G). Since we have reviewed a previous version of this model, we are going to compare both devices on numerous occasions throughout the review.Interestingly, this device is suspiciously familiar to another one we already had. You guessed it right - it is the Acer ConceptD 5 (CN515-51). If you know something about Acer's latest content creator-oriented series, it must be that all of them are based on existing models. For example, the ConceptD 9 is based on the Predator Triton 900, then the ConceptD 7 is[...]

    Disassembly, maintenance and upgrade options

    Happy New Year, guys. This is the Acer Aspire 7 (A715-73G) and it is basically a budget version of the ConceptD 5 (CN515-51). Apart from the dark paint, this laptop is an exact copy of the latter (or the other way around).Check out all Acer Aspire 7 (A715-73G) prices and configurations in our Specs System or read more in our In-Depth review.1. Remove the bottom plate Like most of 2019's laptops, this one requires the removal of the entire bottom panel to get inside of it. This, of course, happens without a lot of effort.

    Office Work

    Office Work should be used mostly by users who spend most of the time looking at pieces of text, tables or just surfing. This profile aims to deliver better distinctness and clarity by keeping a flat gamma curve (2.20), native color temperature and perceptually accurate colors.

    Design and Gaming

    This profile is aimed at designers who work with colors professionally, and for games and movies as well. Design and Gaming takes display panels to their limits, making them as accurate as possible in the sRGB IEC61966-2-1 standard for Web and HDTV, at white point D65.

    Health-Guard

    Health-Guard eliminates the harmful Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) and reduces the negative Blue Light which affects our eyes and body. Since it’s custom tailored for every panel, it manages to keep the colors perceptually accurate. Health-Guard simulates paper so the pressure on the eyes is greatly reduced.
