Technician’s tip
NitroSense (PredatorSense on Predator) controls the fans and modes: performance for games, quiet for work.
FAQ
Questions and answers
What does “Free DOS” mean on a Acer Nitro and Predator?
It means there is no Windows on the laptop. That keeps the price lower, and the system is installed separately. I install official Windows — you buy the licence.
Can I install Windows on a Acer Nitro and Predator myself?
Yes, if you can make a bootable USB stick and find the drivers. If you would rather not spend an evening on it, I will come and do everything at once, with programs and file transfer.
Do you sell laptops?
No, I do not sell new laptops. I help you choose for your needs and budget, then set it up at your home or office.
