Great 17 inch gaming laptop
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.I bought this laptop about 3 weeks ago and noticed nobody had written a review. If you are an avid gaming enthusiast then my review will probably not be much help. What I can tell you is that I do play games but mostly racing games like Asphalt 9 and it runs very smootly. I have a gaming desktop with a Nvidia 3060 and 12GB of GPU ram and I cannot tell the difference between the two. Now for the rest of the laptop. The display is standard brightness (I believe 250 Nits) for a gaming laptop. One tip - if you go to the brightness settings under Display and uncheck the "Help improve battery by optimizing the content shown and brightness" it seems to brighten the screen a bit more. The keyboard color settings are awesome. There are 4 zones on the keyboard and each can be set to a different color plus there are other color variation settings and the key press is perfect as far as I am concerned. Key spacing is perfect as well which makes it easy to type on. I can't give you an exact figure but the laptop charges very quickly. The options to add an additional hard drive and upgrade the RAM with ease are also a nice and welcomed feature. I feel like a gaming laptop should come with 16gb of RAM but I understand the desire to keep the price affordable which is the case for a 17 inch gaming laptop with this CPU. Regarding the CPU, this CPU has 12 cores so don't let the i5 CPU throw you off. This laptop is very fast and the 12 core speed is noticeable. I also do not have figures on how long the battery lasts while gaming but can tell you that I have another 1500 dollar gaming laptop and it easily outlasts that 15 inch laptop. When I am not gaming and just web browsing and playing music I typically get between 5-6 hours of battery life which is amazing for a 17.3 inch display running at full brightness. The CPU speed, battery life and GPU are probably the best features of the laptop for the price. If I could have given it 4.5 stars I would have. Why not 5? I feel like the speakers could have been a bit louder for the size of the louder and could have had more bass. I typically listen to games and music with my headphones so not a big deal breaker. The other issue that brought it down to 4.5 stars is the weight. If you sit this on your lap for more than a couple of hours you are going to notice the weight. Also, if you plan to carry it around a lot. It weighs 6+ pounds and it is noticeable. The laptop does feel very solid though while keeping the thickness fairly thin for a gaming laptop. The top picks up fingerprints easily but again not a big deal as a damp cloth wipes those away immediately. Another item that I almost forgot to mention is the temp of the laptop. I played racing games for over an hour continuously and the laptop barely even got warm. I can't say the same for my other 1500 dollar gaming laptop playing the same games, it gets uncomfortably warm. I think Acer really hit a home run with the cooling process on this laptop. And if it does get warm you could always use the Nitro app and increase the fan speed if needed. The Nitro app is a great feature as it allows you to control the speed of the fans. As FYI, I have never heard the fans but can tell they are running if I put my fingers on the sides of the laptop. They do kick on when you run games but don't appear to kick on while web browsing or running standard apps. In summary, I am very impressed with the speed of the 12 core CPU, battery life, quality and coolness while keeping the price affordable. I hope this review helps. I highly recommend this laptop if you are looking for a large gaming laptop.

First Acer.
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.I have never owned an Acer gaming computer before. It was more affordable than the Dells or Asus gaming computers. I’m still working on my opinion of Acer, but so far, so good.
