Top tier laptop according to Jarrod’sTech (youtuber who specializes in laptops) alongside a couple lenovo legions for 2022. Yes, get it on sale (honestly this statement stands for any laptop from bestbuy unless its literally a brand new model). 3060 included is 115w + 25w boost, allowing this laptop to keep pace with lower tgp 3070 laptops. If you’re pushing this laptop on the highest graphical settings for gaming, yes it will be loud. It will also keep your laptop surprisingly cool compared to others (with the help of liquid metal!) Solid display (brightness and 100% sRGB) and decent built in camera (1080p). Wifi 6 and ddr5 ram too- with some room for upgrades if desired. Biggest downsides of this laptop are the weight and size (chunkier than many other laptops) and the noise. Also, included charger is chunky and a bit awkward to use in some instances. Overall this laptop is perfect for me since i dont mind the noise or weight. It allows me to play AAA titles in bed with my fiancé (luckily the sound from laptop fans dont bother her) at impressive fps/ nice settings, without worrying about cooking my laptop and becoming uncomfortable to play. Last thing i wanna note is you CAN DEFINITELY run AAA titles at high settings smoothly without the laptop getting too loud (subjective of course). It’s when you enable the built-in overclock features that make this laptop noisy. I mostly play using a headset so loud fans are well worth the trade-off for stellar performance and a cooler, longer-lasting laptop. Will be returning a 3070 (asus tuf dash f15 2022) I purchased at the same price because this performs almost as well without overheating the cpu and gpu, plus the overall better build design/ quality of this years acer.

Cannot even begin to explain how pleasantly surprised i was by how good this laptop is. From the metal body instead of the cheap plastic to the packaging it comes in, truly a quality product. Even more amazing that i scored this thing on sale for $999 considering it retails for $1499. First of all the actual construction of this thing is solid. Metal body all around with the exception of the bottom which is still plastic. Nice metal brushed blue tone to it gives it a very nice tone. The specs are really nice, i-7, Nvidia RTX 3060, 16GB DDR5, everything to make this thing a REALLY good mid range gaming laptop that will surely not be sluggish on performance. The RGB keyboard is really nice too. Overall extremely happy with it.

Owned for 1 week, no problems with this laptop at all. The battery drains pretty quickly when gaming so I'm just going to keep it plugging and charging the whole time. This laptop is even faster than my gaming PC for some reason lol. Can easily run heavy games with high+maximum graphic settings smoothly.

Great gaming laptop for the price. I ended up upgrading the RAM from 16gb to 32gb (Crucial brand) and added an additional 1tb ssd (Western Digital SN850x). I love the keyboard feel and the RGB. It is quite heavy, but not a deal breaker when you consider all the hardware you are getting. The fans are super quiet on default mode, but when you are putting it under heavy load they sound like a jet engine taking off. I have some Sony noise canceling headphones wich work great for the noise. I also bought a cooling pad, and it seems to help out quite a bit. Not sure if the fans in the cooling pad are doing much or if its just because it raises the bottom of the laptop off the desk which allows more airflow. The screen is also great, everything looks nice and crisp. Could use to be brighter in full light scenarios, but unless you plan to game outside or something, it is definitely bright enough for most situations. Only real negatives if I had to get picky are... I wish it had a USB A on the back and maybe a better touchpad. The touchpad is ok, but it kinda makes a rattle noise when using it. I use a mouse, so it's not a real issue though. Overall very happy with the purchase. As others have said, wait for it to go on sale.

Ive had this PC for almost a year now. It handles everyday tasks with ease, but when gaming it can get a little hot. The fans get super loud when under demand so I bought an external cooling pad to help regulate temperatures. The battery life isnt really that good but that's to be expected on gaming laptops. Windows 11 is very buggy on this computer, I think thats mostly Windows' fault. The speakers and the screen on this laptop aren't that great. Windows 11 is also very buggy when trying to connect bluetooth headphones. Overall the performance is great, especially for the price. It can handle most games on medium to high settings.
