Question 1

is this 1080p hd?

Accepted Answer

BE CAREFUL!!!!
Just spoke with Acer Customer Support and confirmed all information below:
Model Name: A515-44-R0BR,  Part Number: NX.HW8AA.001, acerDOTcom/ac/en/CA/content/model/NX.HW8AA.001"
on Canada site has a full 1080p panel with a brightness of 278 nits, panel is glossy
This model here on Newegg is not the same thing... this is:
Model Number: A515-44-R4M5, Part Number: NX.HW1AA.001, acerDOTcom/datasheets/2020/4876/A515-44/NX.HW1AA.001,
and confirmed by Acer customer support, only has a 1366 x 768 display and was unable to provide info on brightness
Looks like there are numerous variants of the Aspire 5.  I think I'm gonna wait for A515-44-R0BR to appear in US, or try to get it from the Acer Canada store website
Even though I'm only looking for a portable solution to do some light coding work when traveling, it just seems crazy to get anything less than 1080p in 2020....

the DOT  is in lieu of '.' as newegg wont allow links in comments
