I have an A16-51GM-77G2 on the way, with a 16" screen, and need a compatible keyboard cover but most all are for the common 15.6" screen. i did find this for the predator 16": https://ishort.ink/V74X

think that'd work? if not, any other ideas for a cover?

2nd question: the new laptop will be replacing my trusty old acer a515-43-r19l. will the ssd in it work in the 2nd slot of the new one? crucial gives me this info about the a515's SSD specs: Crucial P310 500GB PCIe Gen4 NV Me 2280 M.2 SSD.

thanks a bunch!

    The Aspire A16-51G and the Predator Helios Neo 16 PHN16-72 have different keyboards and the cover for the Predator Helios Neo 16 PHN16-72 will not fit, the Aspire A16-51G first released on 2024-1-19 should have a clear keyboard cover that someone makes, search on eBay and also Ali Express, as I can't find one as a reference for you. Good luck

    Dimensions of both laptops:

    1. Aspire A16-51G - Length 360.8mm (14.2 inch) / Width 248.47mm (9.78 inch) / Height 16.6/20.95 (H) mm (0.65/0.82 inch)
    2. Predator Helios Neo 16 PHN16-72 - Length 357.78 mm (14.08 inches) / Width 280.37 mm (11.03 inches) / Height (front to rear) 25.85/27.85 mm (1.01/1.09 inch)

    The 2nd SSD slot accepts M.2 NVMe Gen 3 SSD. So, the Crucial P310 will work with your A16-51GM, although the speed will be limited to ~3500MBs.
