Runs very nice and pretty cool. I tried 4 laptops and this one is by far the most quiet. I upgraded the ram to 16gb and it made a big difference in gaming. I get 60-70 frames in Red Dead 2 which is impressive to me. The 1650 runs games perfect. The 144hz screen makes this laptop perfect the brightness isn’t the highest but it’s still super nice. It’s pretty easy to open and upgrade. The cpu runs at about 70-75 degrees while playing Red Dead and I’ve never seen the gpu go past 72 degrees.

I think this a good first gaming laptop if your on a budget and I had mine for a year and had used it heavily. I love how promising it is for its price I think laptops like this expose the pc world of things and ppl get hooked to them. Safe to say my time with it is done and now have money saved for a desktop . However performance and terms of power are pretty good . I think it’s performance is relatively strong but it’s weakness does show in some games and have to switch to low settings for smooth frames. It’s a little better than the ps4/Xbox performance wise not stronger than ps5/xbox series x . It runs R6siege rlly smoothly and 144hz gives you a competitive experience , and it can play gta 5 online 60-80 fps on a preset high settings. But games more graphically demanding like red dead redemption 2 you can see a little bit of stuttering and rendering problems with textures and loading props (40-50 Fps). Bigger multiplayer games like bf5 is set to medium and runs about (40-50 fps) full 64 players The keyboard tends to wear and tear and fades away the printing of the letters so my WASD is a faded and so as my shift and alt keys. I do love this laptop and the performance is reliable.

For the low price and being an Acer you might think this laptop is not powerful enough for gaming and other heavy duty tasks. I thought the same way before purchasing this laptop but then I was surprised. I used to own an Alienware before this but in comparison this Acer laptop feels the same as the expensive Alienware laptop I owned. You there are so many options as in upgradability with this laptop which includes putting not only 1 additional SSD but 2 SSD on top of the SSD that is already included with the laptop. The price of this laptop is as perfect as it gets. I also own an Acer 4K gaming monitor so I know based on experience that Acer products last long and they price it cheaper. Acer overall is a better deal which does not empty your wallet. I recommend this laptop as so far it plays my games without a problem. Just make sure to add at least an additional 8GB of ram for faster performance since it only comes with 8GB but other than that it perfect.

I enjoy using my Acer Laptop because it’s fast, the keyboard lights up, and it’s easy to use. I’ve had a graphics issue since I opened it out of the box. It doesn’t glitch a lot but if you’re a gamer it’ll be bad news. I’m not using this laptop for gaming, just office use. The apps are smooth. The only issues that pop up are because of Microsoft updates. I like that I can turn on the built in fan for this laptop if I need to cool it down, which I’ve never had to do. I would recommend this laptop for anyone needing a better laptop than low-end types. I don’t know what the glitch is because I don’t want to deal with the hassle of Geek Squad not being able to replicate the issue and then I would be out of my laptop for a time for nothing. The light up keyboard is awesome and enables me to see the keys in the dark.

Love this laptop for gaming. Everything runs smooth and the games look wayy better than my ps4 pro. I was impaired on new years eve and spilt martinelli's apple cider all over the thing, such a good laptop it fixed itself! Its got a decent sized screen. Definitely adequate for winning in competitive gaming and surprisingly not too bulky. You can still jump on a moving frieght train without it snagging on anything. Great for the price!
