The front height is 13.46 mm and is stored as the minimum thickness. Width, depth and maximum thickness come from the metric datasheet in the next source and agree within rounding.5Spec databaseshop.aodatacloud.es/medias/datasheet_nxj7web00d.pdfRead 15 October 2026Retailer-hosted product datasheet (published 2025-09-07) for the sibling model AG15-42P-R8FN, Ryzen 5 5625U: 362.9 x 241.3 x 19.9 mm. The R9FW page on Acer US lists 14.3 x 9.5 x 0.78 in (363.2 x 241.3 x 19.8 mm), which agrees within rounding, so the same chassis size is used. This is a chassis size, not a configuration value.
