i7 NVMe Acer Laptops With 2 Video Out Ports (HDMI/DP/VGA) Aspire F5-573G

PrfyVdlxSg

I am searching for a web page that will at least give me the option of specifying a set of criteria so I can know which Acer laptops have the following:
1. i7 processor
2. Dual-disc, Primary drive as PCIe NVMe SSD M key + Secondary drive (HDD/SSD or NVMe SSD)
3. At least 2 video out ports that can work simultaneously.

I currently have 1 unit of F5-573G i5 and I am very satisfied with the performance. The only other brand of laptop that has 2 video out ports is my Asus U36JC but the video only works on one of the ports, not both, not simultaneous.

I would appreciate it very much for any help on my query. Thank you!

The latest predator helios 300 series of laptops is where you will find such a combination.

Hi JackE,

Thank you for your reply. I was looking for something as close as possible to my current unit F5-573G, but thank you anyway for pointing me to the Predator Helios 300 series. Appreciated.

Well, you already have the F5, And you seem to be satisfied with it so far. Do you expect to not be very satisfied with it soon? Is it starting to give you trouble?

I'm also quite satisfied with my main workhorse 12yo ACER netbook so far. If --- but not before --- it starts giving me trouble, I might look for something else as close as possible too. But I fear that I won't be able to find something quite as satisfactory. So I'm putting it off till the day comes that I'm not very satisfied with my old netbook anymore.

@PrfyVdlxSg you can look for the new Nitro 5 AN515-57, AN515-58 model, or the Predator Helios 300. They both have two M.2 Slots and a 2.5-inch drive slot. Nitro 5 has HDMI and a Thunderbolt 4 port(varies on model). Predator Helios 300 PH315 has an HDMI port and a mini DisplayPort.

Hi @JackE, I seem to understand that if I have a machine running 8086 processor and I am satisfied with it then I don't need to upgrade anymore? Anyway, to answer you question, I am satisfied with my F5 573G i5 unit, but I am very curious to see how a similar unit running on i7 will perform. Anyway, thanks for your inputs.

Hi @Anhminh23427, thank you for the advise. I will check on these models, too. Very much appreciated!

The helios 300 series should be faster. But unless you have cash burning a hole in your pocket, the biggest speed bang for the buck comes outfitting the old F5 with just about any SSD and more RAM if you haven't done so already.

Hi @JackE, all done on the SSD and RAM for my unit:
1. Western Digital WDS100T3X0C-00SJG0 NVMe PCIe SSD
2. Seagate ST1000LM035-1RK172 (SATA) HDD
3. 32GB (2x 16GB) RAM

JackE

Well, as long as the m.2 was made the boot drive, I'd probably be rather underwhelmed by the performance gain per dollars spent on a new helios unless I was a gamer & Win11 gotta-haver.
