Excellent for Medium Gaming. Room for upgrades.
||Posted .Owned for 4 months when reviewed.I first purchased this laptop to because I needed to run some virtual machines for school as I am learning about Information Technology. I needed something with power and speed at a low cost. The GPU would help with penetration testing tools. I also game quite a bit so the GPU really delivers. The Intel core i5 is great because it allows the use of Intel Turbo Boost. This lets the cpu run at higher speeds. It ran my virtual machines smoothly and there is enough RAM for use of multiple applications. The Wireless card allows for use of multi user- multi input/multi output technology. I am going to probably add a new stick of RAM. I don't know if it allows dual channeling I hope it does. The upgrading process looks user friendly enough as there are slots on the bottom to add/upgrade the RAM and add a second storage slot. Some might say if you are going to upgrade why not just by a better one at the time. Well, I didn't have enough money at the time so having easy upgrades on a computer this low price is a blessing. I well update the review after I have upgraded the RAM. Acer throws in a nice bundle of software for keeping the computer tuned. My favorite is nitro sense. It lets you control the fan speeds for the cpu and gpu. The only gripes I have is that the build is a little too plasticity and bendy and that the battery even when not gaming only lasts like two hours. It must be plugged in most of the time while gaming. I would have purchased a Desktop but I don't have much room for a desktop and I needed something I could take to school.

Great gaming laptop, Disappointed with VR
||Posted .Owned for 1 year when reviewed.I bought this laptop last year sometime and it’s been great for playing high end PC games. My only complaint is that the ‘Oculus Ready’ feature is misleading. This laptop doesn’t even have a display port for the Oculus Rift S and it doesn’t have a miniport either. This isn’t on BestBuy, but on Acer for advertising it as ‘Oculus Ready’. Oculus could have done a better job to branch out their availability for adapters as well, I only received a miniport to Displayport adapter and it doesn’t fit the laptop. So, to get this laptop working with an Oculus Rift S you’ll need to buy a usb-c adapter. Otherwise if you aren’t keen on playing VR with this laptop, by all means go ahead and purchase it.

Until now great purchase
||Posted .Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.Didn't have the chance to give it a lot of use but until now working good, I have to say that this laptop have such a nice design that everyone is in love with her, strongly recommend to add another hard drive because I guess 256 GB is not enough, very fast, screen with beautiful colors, I noted that the mouse pad sometimes is a bit too sensitive, the only thing that I don't like(until now) is the absence of the USB 3.1 port, the computer have two 3.0 and one 2.0, is weird considering that this design is recent. I will update in case that something happens.

Great Speed,Keyboard Backlit and Great Color
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This coupled to My Acer SA230 Monitor has changed the time I spend on computer work. The speed and dual screens has been a work changer for me. I highly recommend this economic combination. I have 1,25 TB of memory having put a 1 TB into the second drive space.

Q: QuestionAre there any problems with overheating?
Asked by Vinny.
- A:Answer I've not had any overheating problems. I've been playing destiny 2 at 1080 and high settings with no problems. There's a neat little desktop app that lets you manually set fan speeds for both the cpu and GPU fans, or you can set to auto. I don't think I've ever heard the fans rev all the way up when on auto so it must not get too hot. Allows you to keep it really cool if you want though. SK

Q: QuestionHow easy/hard is it to remove the case to install more RAM or add another harddrive? I noticed there’s room to add another hard drive... has anyone done this and can share about the experience?
Asked by Rich.
- A:Answer There's two single screw compartments on the bottom to do either job. It's as easy as it gets.
Answered by Kyle
Q: QuestionCan an additional internal hard drive be added? I have a 2tb laptop sized (2.5") HDD.

Q: QuestionIs there any thermal issues with this computer? I looked the youtube video it shows that temperature will reach high just after 1 hour playing.
Asked by dannyqin.
- A:Answer It can get warm, but even after 3 hours of heavy gaming, it does not reach dangerous temperatures and does not experience thermal throttling. You can always repaste the CPU (WARNING: Voids Warranty), put a Laptop Cooler under it, and tinker with the Nitro Sense fan controls. I found all of those unnecessary.

Q: QuestionCan an internal hard drive be installed in this? If so any recommendations on which one?
Asked by Jt.
- A:Answer Absolutely. There is an empty internal Bay for either a mechanical, or solid state, SATA Drive. I purchased the Samsung 860 EVO 1tb internal solid-state drive from Best Buy for $149.99. The 256 gb solid-state drive that it comes with is a PCI Express. There is also an additional empty slot for Ram. For about $65 you can buy an additional 8GB stick and upgrade to 16 gigabytes of RAM.

Q: QuestionDoes this support displayport over usb c?
Asked by Toast.
- A:Answer This model does not support DisplayPort over USB-C.
Answered by TeamAcer
Q: QuestionWhy is the 1tb Cheaper
Asked by GOODMG.
- A:Answer It’s less expensive because the 1 tb is not a ssd hard drive which is faster and makes less noise and provides you with a better experience
