Great gaming laptop
|Posted .Owned for 4 months when reviewed.Features
Quality4 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I've been playing Destiny 2 on this thing for several months now and it's been great for that! Running it at extremely high settings while still getting between 50-100 fps. This computer will do anything you can throw at it for the price point! The only things against it is that you need to update the BIOS right out the box and the keyboard has audible clicks after a key has been used a certain amount of time. It can also get really hot, so I recommend having Nitrosense on max when playing demanding games, and if you cant launch Nitrosense I have a solution to that on the Acer forums under my display name here

Best Budget laptop
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Ease of use, PriceThis laptop is known as a budget laptop, and it totally is. I can play several games, like CSGO, Dishonored, fluently. And the ssd give me the pleasure of a fast windows 10 startup. I am really satisfied with y purchase. Is lightweight, not that expensive for a gaming laptop and easy to use. Plus, if you work or play at night, the backlit keyboard will be your best friend.

Excellent for the price
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:PriceI bought mine on sale for $619.99 and couldn't be happier. I added a 1TB Seagate Firecuda HSSD, a 1TB WD Black M2 drive, and 16GB 2933MHz Kingston HyperX RAM. The BIOS does NOT support Intel XTU and undervolting, but I can run Throttlestop in the background with a profile for the i5-8300 and my temps are 20C cooler when gaming on HIGH settings. The keyboard is red ONLY, but it feels great. The trackpad is good, but I use a wired mouse. I have one spot of screen blooming just below the camera. Its only noticeable on a solid black screen and expected from an IPS panel. This PC is also VR capable. I use my PSVR, Move controllers, and 2 PS3 cameras to play Beat Saber and other games.

Q: QuestionCan the acer laptop run the latest updates on web browsers such as chrome and firefox? Is it good for a work computer and not just gaming?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Common sense would tell you that a "gaming" computer would make a good "work" computer. A separate video card means more memory to run the applications you need to do your job. They have increased speed (usually) and display things better. Not to mention that they usually have better networking capabilities.
