I purchased aspire a715-79g on 28th Sept 2024 and I found 2 major firmware issues as follows:
- The Control Center app takes at least +2 minutes to start after turning the laptop on. Due to this keyboard backlight, fan settings are not accessible for the first 2-3 minutes.
- When the lid is closed or when the laptop automatically goes to sleep mode, it should wake up within a second once the lid is opened or a key is pressed. But it takes at least 15 seconds even if multiple keys are pressed. Ideally, any laptop in the world turns the screen on within a second once the lid is opened or any key is pressed.
I received a replacement product due to the above defects(after having multiple fights with Flipkart). But, the new device still has the same old problems.
I had escalated these issues to ACER Care India but no response from them. I have Twitter thread about this https://x.com/sh_ke_rushi/status/1848588031894425642.
I hope these issues are solved in the near future. Because Flipkart won't process a refund for these faulty laptop issues and I have high hopes from ACER.
