Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was very reluctant in picking up a prebuilt, especailly an OEM prebuilt, as I always build out all of my PC's. But, with GPU's being scarce, and me not being very excited for the upcoming 5000 series (I don't care about framegen and DLSS 4, enjoy those fake frames!), I bit the bullet and picked this one up, as the 4070 ti super is nearly impossible to find now. All in all, I'm very pleased. This handls 4K video editing with Davinci Resolve with ease, and has been fantastic with my racing sims - ACC and iRacing. I'm able to pull of basic 4K edits without using proxies at all, and complex edits with plenty of fusion nodes while only going down to half-res on the timeline. Edits are like butter now compared to my old 1660 Super rig. I'm knocking this down 1 star for the following reasons: 1. A couple of the fans are a little louder than they should be at idle. In ramping up the fan speeds individually via the PredatorSense app, it sounds like it's the rear exhaust fan or the PC cooling fan, they seem to be feeding off of each other, so to speak. It'll make a little whirling type noise, and it can vary depending on the fan's speed. It's not even close to being bothersome enough for me to want to RMA it, but it is there and is noticeably louder than my last PC I built out in 2020. It's not bad or anything, just a little annoying when it's completely silent in my office and I'm trying to crank out a late night edit. Naturally, closed back headphones mitigate this concern entitirely. Also, it's hasn't changed at all since I got it nearly 2 weeks ago, so I'm not concerned with it getting worse down the road. I even cranked all the fans up to max for 2 hours straight, just to be sure of things. 2. The included RAM is slow. It's only 4,400mhz, and that will tick enthusiests off. I suppose on the plus side, the CPU is rated up to only 5,600mhz sticks anyways, and with it being a tad slower it should be more stable. 3. The predator symbol on the front of the case lights up along with the RGB fans. I wan't to hid this logo by turning off it's RGB lighting, but there's no option in the software to do that. I'll have to disconnect the pin hearder, no big deal, but figured I'd mention it. On the plus side, this prebuilt has been rock solid stable. The Event Logs look clean, minus some Acer update service that sends failed requests in the background from time to time, but nothing worth even mentioning. Device Manager is good, no conflicts at all. And all of the hardware has recent device drivers installed. CPU temps are between 36c and 55c when idle or watching youtube, and ramps up to 79c under heavy gaming load. Usually right around 45c. Those are respectable numbers for an air cooled Intel 14th gen CPU. The GPU and overal system temps are staying very low, usually in the 35c range, which is excellent. Considering 4000 cards are hard to get right now, and 5000 cards will be eaten by scalpers for a while to come, I think the sale price of this machine makes a good offer in these times. I saw a couple prebuilts get listed ahead of the 5000 release that have the 5080 and 5090, and the prices were redic! We're talking over 4.5K for the 5080 prebuilt, and over 7K for the 5090 machine. Way out of my price range, by a mile. I'm happy with this PC, it's a good all around machine.

As someone who prefers to build my own, i was skeptical about finally having a prebuilt. This is a quality gaming rig, pretty clean cable mgmt, and it absolutely dunks on any 1440 ultra settings i throw at it. Good on temps, fans are quiet as a whisper with slight whoosh when the cpu is going hard. Predatorsense software is decent, w good presets for rgb. Shiny! All in all, I would say this is a high fps and quality to $$$ machine. Consume consume consume and buy this without hesitation.

Over all pretty satisfied with the computer. I included a screenshot of a benchmark run in a fully updated version of Cyberpunk 2077. New install with nothing tweaked. Take from that what you will. CPU is air cooled. Would have preferred AIO cooling, but at least the case has everything to put one in myself later. About that air cooling. It takes up a memory slot. Pretty big fan. I think that's my only gripe so far. At least it looks like upgrading this PC will be easy.

So far, so good on performance. What I don't like about it is that it came bundled with virus protection software that I don't want or use as I have my band of AVS that I use. The uninstall process was difficult and unnecessary. I'm sure I paid extra somehow for this software that I did not ask for or want.

This has been an amazing first time gaming pc and video editing unit. No issues and it’s been over a year. Still runs amazing and you can’t even hear it. Even when the temperature builds up and the fans kick in. The i7 14700k is actually plenty of processor and the 4070ti super handles any game in realistic settings. If you want 200 FPS and true 4K ray traced gaming then obviously you’ll need a better processor and GPU. This still is a fantastic rig. I recommend anyone who’s just getting started into the world of PC gaming to get this set up.

Great pre built for the price I’ve been able to run pretty much every game on max graphics with no issues

Great pre built pc, runs your favorite games perfectly !

I was searching for a PC with sufficient VRAM for LLM tasks (this one has 16GB) and some casual gaming, and it fits well within my budget. Regarding the heating issue: Initially, the temperature reached around 92°C while gaming and idled at approximately 60°C. However, after installing the Intel chipset driver from the official website, the temperature dropped by 20°C. The motherboard is a Mini-ATX with 2 out of 4 RAM slots occupied (16GB x2). Expanding the RAM might be a bit tricky since one of the slots is located beneath the CPU cooler. Still unsure about longevity, but the Nvidia RTX 4070 Ti Super 16GB won me over.

This PC performs well for everyday use and gaming. It runs smoothly, handles multitasking without lag, and stays stable even under heavier workloads. The build quality feels solid, the system stays cool, and overall it delivers good value for the price. If you need a reliable machine for school, work, or gaming, this setup gets the job done.

Such a great machine honestly it ran everything super smooth on ultra settings never a stutter not one crash. Only two issues, 1 It's got a micro motherboard making add-ons and upgrades hard. 2 It's air-cooled and runs pretty hot and because of the micro motherboard it's some work to add a better air cooler or water cooler. All in all it's a great machine if you know what you're doing with more knowledge than I have to put a better cooling system in it.

I was hopeful but disappointed in the end. Motherboard: - Seriously? A mini mobo in a gaming computer??? - There is ONE expansion slot. This is a failure. Drive Space: - 2 SSD slots, with 1 TB HDDs in them. One of the drive slots is mainly hidden by the processor fan, which needs to be removed to swap it out. It's a PITA to replace it. - Two drive bays will fit either 2.5 or 3.5 drives. I'm not a fan. Case: - It looks lovely. - It's big and spacious. Entirely too big and spacious for what's in it. Why use that much real estate in the room for a computer that doesn't need it because it can't be expanded? Other than that, it is functional. I will recommend it below - for people who like LED lights, have plenty of space for a large tower (holding a small mobo), and don't want to mod their computer. If you like to tinker, keep looking.

Runs great, liquid cooling in the box for the cpu would have been nice but without overclocking it is running well, never too loud even on AAA games, highly recommended kit aside from the cpu fan and rather slow ram (2200mhz)

The pc came in exactly how it was listed, i’ve had no problems running any games or programs on it. Multitasking is not a problem either.

Fantastic computer, works better than expected ! Runs so quiet, awesome colors, runs super fast… highly recommend !

The computer runs great and the games play excellent. It runs the games in 4k on ultra settings with no issues but I usually play in 1080p on high. Temps are pretty good and you can change the speed through predator sense on the fly. Keep the fans clean of you have pets and the system will run fine. I cannot complain about this PC and the people are super friendly. Can't beat it.

Good PC would be 5 stars but the fans gets too loud

Love this product! Pairs great with my acre predator monitor! PC runs smooth and the graphics are sooo good. Specs are really good for playing first person shooter games. Over 200 frames playing Call of Duty! Runs smooth as butter!

Great computer for the price. Only complaint is when received had to delete and redownload windows 11

Overall the Acer Predator Orion 500 performed good. It is quiet gaming computer. The second week, the predator sense app did not work. As instructed in the manual, re-installed the app and it worked. After about two weeks, the ethernet port stopped working, but the Wi-Fi was working. I use the wired ethernet port because I get >800 Mbps speed. I talked to the geek squad; they could not fix thru online chat. So as per their instructions, returned the PC to Best Buy. The customer support from best Buy was excellent. I had a Acer predator gaming computer which is about 5 years old. This old computer is working like a champ without any problems. The reason for buying the new computer was because of WIN10 support will not be available later 2025.

Desktop has been killing it for me lately! No probs with it, and keeping it updated in a timely fashion!!
