bought my V15 nitro in Nov of 2015 the speakers started making static noise 4-5months in. but it was quite and only on for a split second once in a blue moon. however, as the time went by it got worst and worst. at arount 10 months in it will be loud enough to wake me up and will be on for 10-15 min. finally got my on the phone with acer and schedule for repair. had to pay close to 100 dollars because of acer's policy to have them insured and overnight shipping had to be done. got my laptop back around a week and a half. my hard was wiped and I lost the windows 10 upgrade which acer's customer service says "oh, sorry about this. I wish I can do something about this but our policy does not allow it" (from the manager). then another 5 months has passed, March 25 of 2017 (today) and the noise is worst than before. I called the customer center explaining this situation once again I had to speak to the manager and his response was "oh, sorry about this, I wish I can do something about this but our policy does not allow it" now I have a year and a half old computer with speakers constantly making static noise when I have the computer on.... now it doesn't even come and go, It's on permantly. drivers won't work, acer is practically saying "we don't take care of random people who are out of warranty". I can't even sell this computer because 1st as soon as I boot my computer, before it even gets to windows it's making the noise. second I will feel so guilty selling this to another person and giving them the stress of getting the speakers replace every 6 months and having to deal with world-class-customer services.
now as a student I have to save up for another year or so to get a different computer. hard lesson learned. DO NOT BUY ACER PRODUCTS!!!
