The display backlight flickers at 25000 Hz (Likely utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 20 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting. The frequency of 25000 Hz is quite high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering. Devices listed with a "0" did not show big brightness fluctuations in our measurements. I dont understand this. Aren't these conflicting statements? I thought that if the number was high, it was not good and that I should be looking for a "0" when I looked at the chart. I am looking at an Acer 3 some have high numbers and some have 0.

Yup, I know, this is a late reply and it was just to say that I agree with Jeremy's speech : an AMD APU isn't that great in the gaming world. But as an office it is fairly a good companion.

The processor is soldered or there is a processor socket, whether it is possible to change the processor in the future?

The short summary said disappointing thermal performance, but the results suggest that it it more than sufficient. Shouldn't it be "noisy fans", or "disappointing thermal system acoustic performance"?

Hi, Thanks for the article. My boss recently bought me a A315-21G-96MJ because the sales person told her it would be a good gaming device in addition to the basic internet functionality we require. Unfortunately it doesn't meet even the minimum requirements for games like PUBG etc. Can you tell me whether the graphic are upgradable either internally or via an external GPU, and if it would be worth the investment.

Someone on Amazon suggested that the reason for the low clockspeeds on battery power is due to the lack of voltage required for higher clocks. Supposedly this is a 2 cell laptop which is only 7.4V and you need 11V to reach full speeds. You should also check into the ram speeds as others have suggested.... Additionally the scores that were compared vs laptops with other chips... I can tell you I just benchmarked my dads Dell 7375 Ryzen 5 2500U and it beats my XPS13 with i7 6560U in basically everything other than single thread (misses R15 Cinebench by 13pts).

RAM is easiest to change, I've ever seen on any laptop. It uses either 2133 or 2400 DDR4 SO-DIMM, but I think built-in RAM is 2133, so 2400 will be downgraded to 2133 speed. I think "KCP421SS8/8" is most recommended RAM to use with A315-xx 2.5" HDD / SSD is also easy to add, but you have to buy HDD kit from Acer as cables and such are not included with laptop, shame :(
