165 of 177 people found the following review helpful How to add a HDD to this laptop:, February 28, 2017 This review is from: Acer Aspire VX 15 Gaming Laptop, 7th Gen Intel Core i7, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, 15.6 Full HD, 16GB DDR4, 256GB SSD, VX5-591G-75RM (Personal Computers) This laptop is getting very bad reviews mostly because Acer is not including the cable and HDD bracket to add a HDD (which is basically necessary if you want to play games with it).
To add one, you can buy the cable (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SSH3L62/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and use another laptop bracket to hold the HDD in position (I used one from an older Asus but my guess is that almost any bracket would fit).
I hope that the pictures are self-explanatory on how to do this.
***UPDATE***
Just installed the HDD in the new kit that Acer sent me. It now sits beautifully and securely. Thank you for great customer support and for listening to us. 6 stars!! Help other customers find the most helpful reviews Was this review helpful to you? Posted on Mar 1, 2017, 11:07:09 AM PST Dear Juan,

A dedicated graphics card that can play modern games, at least, on medium settings. 2. A premium leaning screen. 3. Better cooling when under stress. 4. At least a mid-tier CPU. 5. Various other design qualities that make it stand out (sharper edges, colorful lights etc.) My experience in gaming laptops have been mainly with Alienware (the latest being the 15 r2 line with the GTX 980m). Firstly, I am overall very impressed with this Acer laptop, in general. With every put together with the feel, the look, and the operation, I can say this is well made and it compares very well with the Alienware. Where it does not match the Alienware is in the case quality. As for the rest? The Acer is equal to or better on almost every level. Here's why: [---Screen---] Very vibrant and deep colors.

The only issue seems to be the additional storage hardware that is needed, but in reading the other reviews it looks like they're trying to put something together as of March 1st to remedy that. Would recommend. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews Was this review helpful to you? Posted on Mar 1, 2017, 6:55:50 AM PST Dear Andrew Turner,
