It's the ACER ASPIRE A515-51G-57NW,15.6" HD CORE I5-8250U, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD model with  GeForce 150MX - apparently some models have the slower 1D12 (LG-A1 variant) of the 150MX.

    According to this review it uses the high power chip that clocks to ~1500MHz, not ~1000MHz like the low power one.
    Always post the following characterisitcs of the device:
    -Model number
    -Part number(not required, but helpful)
    -CPU
    -GPU
    -Operating system

    Helios 300 and Nitro 5 users DO NOT update the BIOS to version 1.22 if you don't want the keyboard's backlight to turn off after 30 seconds even when the device is plugged in.
