Strengths:
Stock PCI3 v4.0 drive is a Samsung rated at 6850MB/s read and 5075MB/s write. Acer did not go cheap.
Weaknesses:
The only weakness is my wallet, this laptop was the best i could afford, which is not a weakness at all.
Additional Comments:
For the sale price the Nitro 5 AN517-55-57FR-US is exactly (and more) than I was expecting. I immediately replaced the 8GB RAM with 64GB to run LLM (Local AI) and it handles 8B to mid 20b models very well at eval rate: 4.32 tokens/s. Even 70b models run but slowly, mainly a CPU/GPU limit. This laptop also has x2 nVME slots so lots of expansion. 17" screen is clear and detailed, great for 50+ year old eyes. Thanks to the sales in the Burnaby store they are very helpful!
