    Outstanding performance!

    Amazing laptop. I had a 1050 gtx and changing to a 4050 rtx is breathtaking. Everything opens and runs really fast. I use it to develop 3D software using Blender and Unity and the laptop runs those programs without any problem. In fact, temperature is always below 65°C, but if you turn on the fan (max power) it goes down to 42°C. Talking about gaming, I can sum up like this: This laptop runs everything in Ultra without exceeding 65°C (using DLSS). There are 2 things that you may not like: size (because it has a 16in display, and it could be uncomfortable to carry the computer from one place to another) and the speakers (even though it uses DTS X, the speakers' sound could improve. However, since I use headphones it is not a big problem for me). Also!, battery life is not long lasting, of course it depends on the use, but overall, it lasts around 4 hours. In conclusion, this laptop is an amazing product, equipped with very good hardware. If you mainly use headphones/earphones, and you are willing to work with the charger connected, then I recommend it 100%. Excellent device!

    Amazing laptop for the price.

    I got it during Black Friday sales for $799. I really couldn't find any other Intel/Nvidia laptops with these specs and features at this price point. It has a 165Hz monitor at 400 nits which looks great. All the ports you need including Thunderbolt 4 that charges from a powerbank at 100W. A fully customizable RGB keyboard with a numpad. The included SSD is a top notch Gen4 drive that reaches around 7000MB/s reads which loads Windows and games really fast. The only downside is that it's 512GBs but that's remedied by an additional Gen4 M.2 slot. Runs everything I've throw at it max settings and over 60 FPS. You can dial back the setting for more FPS if you want. If you can catch this on sale I'll say go for it. You won't be disappointed.

    Great computer even for those who are not gamers

    I am a pastor in my mid-fifties. Although I am not the typical consumer who purchases a gaming laptop, this is the best computer I have owned. On Sunday, we live stream on Zoom and YouTube simultaneously. I have at least two Zoom meetings per week that requires video and screen sharing. For photo slide presentations and video editing, I needed a fast computer that could handle that volume of information. This Acer does so easily. I also write over 3,000 words a week and have worn out laptop keyboards on previous units. This keyboard is much more durable, is lighted (which is great), and very easy to type on. Lastly, my 14 year old son plays an online game through his PS4. I can now play with him on this computer. I read a lot of reviews about the battery life that said it was a little low. Although it is only a month old, I have to tell you that for using the computer to write while at Starbucks, the battery lasts a long time. I can even do a whole Zoom meeting with screen sharing for an hour before I have to plug it in. I am happy with every aspect of this computer and would highly recommend it to anyone who needs to type for a living and do video streaming and sharing.
