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

I received the laptop back after a two week turnaround, from the time I dropped it off with FedEx to when I got it back two days ago. According to the repair order, they had to replace the entire main board, probably due to the NVIDIA GPU being faulty. The machine is working flawlessly (hope Im not jinxing myself) so I will give it 4 stars, knocking 1 off because of Acers poor initial QC and the relative hassle of being without my computer for two weeks.

It was a good laptop, only issue is it came with a defective fan and the customer support is non-existent

If all you want is a well performing 2070 Super Laptop sure, the Triton 500 is very appealing on paper. Sub $1500 for these specs!?.. Heck yeah! And then you realize that you cannot judge a book by its cover.. Literally. This otherwise great gaming laptop is designed with the motherboard flipped toward the keyboard. Meaning, you cannot simply take the bottom cover off and upgrade your memory or add a second SSD. Upon opening, you will be greeted by the back side of the motherboard and no easy way to update your newly purchased $1500 gaming laptop that only comes with a 512gb SSD. 512gb is simply no enough HD space in 2021. You basically have to COMPLETELY disassemble the internals of this to simply add HD space or RAM. ACER.. What the F? Terrible design IMO. There are plenty of thin gaming laptops out there that are designed PROPERLY. Bottom line, shop around. Dont waste your hard earned money on such a throw away design. Reworked ACER this could be a crowning achievement. But in its current form its just not practical when there are so many other options out there that dont make such a massive compromise at these sacrifices. 3 Stars is being generous.

I just got my Triton 500 yesterday (with the 2070 Super, couldnt afford to go higher). I have to say this thing is incredible! Ive been searching for a gaming laptop for awhile, and tried just about every one. This gaming PC has won the competition! It games like a dream. I cant believe its a laptop! It games the same as my desktop PC, if not better.

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.

Acer Predator Helios 300 & Triton 500

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

This laptop was a gift for my cousin and he love that lap top is very happy

Happy with my one!

The laptop is amazing so far, BUT all stickers are not straight! Not a single one of them!
