Acer Predator Triton 500 PT515-52-73L3 Gaming Laptop, Intel i7-10750H, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER, 15.6 FHD NVIDIA G-SYNC Display, 300Hz, 16GB Dual-Channel DDR4, 512GB NVMe SSD, RGB Backlit KB

Initial impressions of the Acer Predator Triton 500 SE are strong. Its a rocket of a laptop with impressive surface stats. The Core i9, RTX 3080 TI, and smokin fast DDR5 memory look like a dream build. A comparably built Razer unit runs almost $1,000 more than the Acer.

Literally just recieved the product from UPS. I go to do the whole setup process and hear a pop, then smoke starts coming out. Laptop already has something fried straight out the box.

I ordered this laptop for gaming and school work the amount of effort acer put into this laptop is amazing, the temps are literally the coldest on the market Im using the auto fan preset and I get a solid 120fps on minecraft rtx with turbo I can achieve 160fps but the fan is louder then an airplane, the screen had no backblight bleed and I measured the panels response time with overdrive I managed to achieve 2.47ms on average with 300hz running on gpu mode aka g sync, the battery life on this unit is amazing with optimus running on 60hz at 60% brightness, I recently got it today so Im not done testing but its still 74% by just browsing on chrome watching things on youtube (fortnite montages) and (anime) also, I went on microsoft teams did some stuff and also reddit, I dont know why but the colors were higher then normal the brightness I measured was 367 nits which is good for a gaming laptop 101% srgb with 81% adobergb and 83% p3 with a contrast ratio of 1250:1. Overall if your going for any gaming laptop this is the thing to go one consequence is the wrist wrest space see the video for yourself, if you own any razer gaming mice you will know this is small, personally I would find this a benefit since I cant tuck my chair under my table so Im not sitting too far away from the laptop

I got this for my oldest son and he does so much with it. Since hes gotten this laptop he has been learning simple coding for a game he likes to play. The speed is incredible, the graphics quality is remarkable and its just an overall good laptop.

I have been looking for a gaming laptop for a long time because I like to game on the go. To be completely honest I am a desktop gaming guy. Unfortunately, it is a pain to take it everyone and very impractical.

Its a powerhorse of a laptop. You will most likely never hit the maximum refresh rate of 300hz, but thats where the G-sync comes in so youll have virtually no screen-tear. Surprisingly cool since it does have three fans inside. Just be aware that you pretty much need to have it plugged in at all times to do anything.

Take it from someone who had been lugging around an Acer Predator Helios 300 for the past couple years prior to picking this up: Youre gonna love the light, slim and sleek design of the Triton 500. Im in love with this machine, and if youre predisposed to liking/loving the Acers Predator line of products, you will love it too. If you inherently do not like them, I wont be able to say anything to change your mind, as they far from revolutionary--but priced to actually afford. Ive been using this Triton model for about two months and have been having some of the best gaming experiences of my life, which is not always easy when you have to be on the go as much as I am (traveling weekly for work). Buy with confidence; Acer has a winning gaming laptop on their hands here.

Im going to try to convey as many details as possible, as quickly as possible, in this review.

I received the laptop and immediately had issues charging it and keeping it on. Either an issue with the battery or charging port because it would always disconnect. Would not recommend purchasing off of amazon due to this third party seller.

It works really well at doing whatever you need it to do, and you can add an extra nvme drive inside the laptop. You also can run pretty much any game at max settings, play bluestacks (admin privs) and emulators no problem.
