Top !

Best bang for your buck! Cant beat the price for the specs!

Sad i cant give it 0 stars fell in love with the stats failed right out of the box reached out 2 times to be repaired through warranty havent had it back or heard any news on it accept try back tomorrow its been nearly a month of that not worth the headache and after looking into the actual issue it apears to be a known problem not a one off

I purchased this laptop to accompany me as I travel and for an easier way to use VR with friends and family. The laptop has a great M.2 SSD that loads super quickly and will take from me off to desktop and usable in about 15-20 seconds.

This breaks my heart. This is my 3rd acer laptop in a row. I was expecting outstanding performance without compromise for a good price, like I have previously experienced. This doesnt meet my high expectations that I used to have for acer gaming laptops around 1000-1100. It runs at 95 degrees Celsius (or higher) running heroes of the storm on ANY graphical setting. It doesnt matter if you play ultra or medium, the laptop is going to be very hot. I have a large cooling pad underneath that is elevated by a second unplugged cooling pad. It heats up to the point that it throttles itself and then my gaming experience suffers. This feels like a downgrade from the Acer aspire v17 nitro that just died after 4 years of dependable and outstanding service.

Good laptop for a beginner gamer. Bought this for my 9 year old daughter and she loves it.

This is a large, sturdy, beautifully designed and heavy gaming laptop with just about all the bells and whistles you could ever ask for. Its amazing how many settings you can control just from a few keyboard strokes. Using the FuNction keys can control volume, screen brightness, and turning on/off the beautiful red LED backlit keyboard (which looks really cool in the dark). The screen is huge and bright. The battery will run down very fast if you are in high performance mode, but you can easily bump it down into battery saving mode if you are just doing web browsing. Still, Id say that the up to 7 hour battery life is a best-case scenario and 2-3 hours is more realistic. It takes a full 2 hours to completely charge the battery. I wouldnt say it is loaded with bloatware as the only thing Ive deleted so far is a Norton antivirus trial once it expired. By clicking on the PredatorSense icon, you can control the fan speed, overclocking and monitoring with what appears to me the most user friendly interface Ive ever seen. Its amazing how loud the fans are on max - its cool to show off you your friends how kick-ass this laptop really is. You *should* be able to control the backlit keyboard here too but you cant; the only way Ive found to turn off is by keyboard strokes and thats one of the few negative things that I can think to say. The internet through wifi is fast. The Dolby audio is AMAZING. Even if you never play a single game, this laptop would be worth it just for the beautiful sound if nothing else... no need for external speakers here. All parts are premium. Even the power cord feels high end and better than cheap laptops. It puts out a moderate amount of heat but nothing surprising given the specs. Gaming is a joy and it can handle just about anything - not much else to say on that front. The only other negative thing I can possibly say - and this is a bit of a reach - would be that the touchpad is so massively large that it is sometimes hard to control during mouse clicking. It is a single giant pad with no buttons at the bottom (yet it is smart enough to know the difference between left and right clicking). Thats the problem; its so large that your finger has to travel a long distance back and forth to alternate between left and right clicks, such that it sometimes gets mixed up. Still, Im getting used to it and its a minor inconvenience.

Bought it to play some graphics-intensive games, such as Assassins Creed Odyssey and Shadow of Tomb Raider. Runs well until it starts overheating. For AC:O, the laptop would last a good 20 minutes before it starts to throttle, causing severe frame drops (60 -> 4fps), keeps stuttering for 10 sec, then back to normal for another 15-20 mins, and the cycle repeats. It gets annoying pretty fast, and makes the overclocking options redundant cuz it wont be able to stay at the overclocked speed for long and would start throttling even earlier.

Battery drains a little fast, apart from that great laptop.
