Wait, really? o_O Yeah Not sure if this link is going to fail for you but I was looking at this laptop this morning on Amazon.ca https://www.amazon.ca/Acer-A515-44-R93G-Processor-Graphics-Fingerprint/dp/B08H2H2182/ It's $487 CAD (about $387 USD) which is a fucking stupid good price for up here even though it only has 4 GB of RAM and a 128 GB SSD. But if you look at the reviews they straight up mention the SATA connector is missing even though Acer still included the caddy/ribbon for installing a secondary 2.5" drive. And this Youtube video (in Spanish) confirms it, with the guy even showing off the parts and then saying "But you can't install it!" lmao https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXIUoKEefLg --- https://imgur.com/bbRWLI8 https://imgur.com/A0BErSV https://imgur.com/S1m3po4 https://imgur.com/7fCcfko <cite>Bio1590 posted [p:952400623] in Acer: *inc...

I almost bought this same exact model last Christmas but balked when I researched the form factor and components, including this little tiny tidbit here. Yeah I don't understand what their logic is here. The only thing I can think of is that it was a manufacturing fuck-up and they have no real way of dealing with it so they're just saying "meh". Can't even say it was to save money seeing as they still included the other proper parts... I can personally attest to the 515-55 series comes with the connector installed. --- https://imgur.com/bbRWLI8 https://imgur.com/A0BErSV https://imgur.com/S1m3po4 https://imgur.com/7fCcfko <cite>Bio1590 posted [p:952401665] in Acer: *inc...
