One month after purchase, all 3 standard USB 3.0 ports started having issues. Devices plugged into the ports will disconnect unless the cord was oriented properly and precisely (possibly a lose connection?). Ive tried disabling USB selective settings, checking the drivers, and even physically trying to tighten the USB ports by pulling the USB port clamps up with a screwdriver. None of it seemed to have an effect.

I had my old gaming laptop stolen and it was so expensive that I just didnt get a new one for a long while. I saw this one on special one weekend, so I just bit the bullet and grabbed it came very quickly and it is wayyy faster than my other laptop that was almost 5X the cost. after I loaded all of my games and work programs (I use a ton of programs for many companies) it still boots up in 3 seconds and the wireless internet is way faster. and the turbo mode button is nutsss. Anyway. Great buy.

This is a great laptop, I first ordered an ASUS Tuf and returned it due to it not starting up. After further research, I decided to spend the extra few hundred dollars on this laptop. Out of the box, downloaded games such as Call of Duty, Fortnite, Overwatch and Rainbow Six Siege and all work excellent. I bought a hard wire for the internet thinking I would need it to prevent lag for gaming, but have not once needed to connect the cable and the cable is still in its box....................ONE THING: I do want to point out is that this laptop will get HOT fast for gaming. It does have the turbo fan, which is much needed, and the turbo helps cool down the laptop, but the turbo feature is loud. I just recently ordered a fan pad and still waiting for that to come in. The only suggestion is if you order this laptop (GREAT LAPTOP AND FAST) I would suggest ordering a cooling pad also. This way you can have it cooled down maybe more quietly without having to run the Turbo fan on the laptop. I have no regrets ordering this laptop. VERY, VERY PLEASED with its performance and would recommend to anyone looking to game. I bought the 512Gb for the extra space. I hope this laptop lasts me a while cause it is AWESOME!!!

This Acer laptop worked great for about a year of light use. Sometimes I would only use it to play some games once per week. Right after my one year warranty expired, the screen just stopped working. It stays black even when the laptop powers on. I called Acer about this issue and they wanted me to pay to ship it to them for repairs because the warranty expired. A $1,200 laptop should last longer than a year. Im very disappointed.

I bought this laptop because the one I had for school finally started to give out, so I thought I might as well go all-out and get a computer I could also use for gaming. Im brand new to PC gaming, so for anyone who is buying this as a way to ease yourself into it, but also needs it for practical purposes I hope this helps. It runs games at at a really high FPS and the screen quality is pretty good at 144hz. However, it is extremely loud and theres not really a way to fix that if you want to use it for work or school. I also received it with a broken frame amd had to return it.

Needs to be plugged in to run any game with decent quality. Once it is plugged in, the laptop usually will overheat and shut down and restart. This problem even persists WITH the use of external fans. Unfortunately it is impossible to play anything without your device being plugged in or it will drain the battery completely in less than an hour. I was really excited for this laptop and apparently even my 1 year warranty cannot help me out with this issue. The sad truth is to enjoy anything fun you need to waste your money on problems that shouldnt exist in my opinion. It was a good laptop for a little under a year though. What prompted my review is it overheating on me 3 times within a span of 40 minutes. Im very disappointed in myself for not researching further before choosing this device.

I was so excited to get my PREDATOR. I grabbed the Amazon box, opened it up and viewed my first bona-fide game system of this kind. Like a kid in a candy store, I could not get to my new experience fast enough. After opening up my holy grail of gaming systems, charging her up and hitting the on button....... I waited....... And Waited....... And waited....... Finally, she fired up and came to life. It was like having a lightning bolt rain down on you, yet, land gently in your lap. It was intoxicating for about five seconds. Thats when it turned off and never started back up. I called The Predator Premium Service line to ask how this could have happened and what to do next. Sadly, ACER told me, um, Id call AMAZON, they can help you better then we can at this point. HOLY SMOKES PEOPLE. I just needed a little PREDATOR love. Finally, I called AMAZON and was helped in the way that only AMAZON can help. Well see what happens with round two.

FFF (fast, fantastic, fun), looks great visually and physically. Going back I probal would have bought their high end model instead, but still we’ll worth the money as is.
