    This laptop was a gift to myself for my birthday. It was a quick purchase; it was on sale at the time for $874. This had been marked down from $1099 SRP. I would say, for the money I paid, this laptop exceed my expectations. It runs every game I throw at it with ease. GTA V, Minecraft, DBD, State of Decay 2, American Truck Simulator, etc. I purchased the laptop with the expectations to only provide gaming on the go; I have a gaming PC at home. I suggest upgrading the SSD and RAM in this laptop to provide a better experience. I added a 4TB M.2 and 16GB RAM to replace the 8GB twin sticks. Performing very well. Only note: the fans are quite loud at times, as stated in other reviews. I have headphones from Logitech that double as a chat headset for Xbox parties and Discord. This eliminates the fan sounds entirely and provides better gaming experience with immersion.

    It is a very good laptop to play any game at 1080p in the highest configuration without any problems, I just think that the laptop charger does not give enough power and uses the laptop's battery to be able to use the total power which worsens the performance in games sometimes otherwise everything is great

    I was very pleasantly surprised by the laptop. So far it has run every game, video and program I've thrown at it. I like to play Steam games on it in my down time and it has flawlessly run every single one of them. Overall it's a very very decent machine and I am very happy with it.

    This laptop is amazing. From live streaming titles like call of duty to actually gaming, it can handle it with ease. Very good price point for bang for your buck. Screen is a perfect size, camera works well. Setting up was a breeze and is super easy to use. The battery life is pretty good and the picture quality is great. Haven't noticed any lagging in the speed department when streaming or gaming major titles.

    I got this laptop a few weeks ago. It works incredibly good, I knew the cpu and GPU were powerful, but I didn't expect a lot of power hahaha. I have played games like spiderman 2, Last of us, CODS. If u are thinking in getting this PC, do it!. And also u can upgrade the storage. In summary, good PC for the price!.

    I love this laptop! It's got a decently bright screen at around just under 300 Nits. While it won't be impressive outdoors, I found I was able to see it outdoors when the laptop is facing away from the sun or at a good angle. It's certainly better than my old gaming laptop where I had to squint to see the screen in the sun. For the performance, it performs great. This particular model has an i7-13620H and an RTX 4060 laptop GPU. I was able to play Destiny 2 and GTA 5's mod FiveM on almost max settings with a decent frame rate. While most newer titles won't crack 60 on High or max, a lot of ESports titles and older games will likely run on high/max at a decent frame rate. The display does run up to 144Hz but can be set to Dynamic to automatically adjust for gaming and power saving. The battery life is okayish. It has a 57 Whr battery. On max brightness it would be at around 40-50 percent in about an hour to an hour and a half. So it's pretty average which is to be expected, after all it is a gaming laptop. The last point I will make is that the keyboard is fully backlit but only white backlit. No RGB on this model, which for me is fine since I like to have a steady and static color at night for my view of the keyboard. Bonus: This model from Best Buy (US) has a laptop sleeve in the box as I found out when opening it for the first time and accessories from Acer.com are really cheap even replacement chargers.

    I was honestly a little surprised at how well this system performed. I have a Dell G15 that’s about a year old and quickly have moved to using this laptop almost exclusively. The screen has a depth of color that’s richer than my other and the overall thermals seem to be better managed as I notice that the fans don’t spin up nearly as high when playing the same game. I can’t speak to battery life but would assume it’s similar to most in that it gets you by but won’t last for an entire day of meetings or such. Performance wise I enjoyed the 4060 as it’s plenty powerful for the resolution of the screen. I ran it through its paces through several of my games and experienced no issues and was able to run most settings on high for things like Apex Legends and Helldivers2. Overall impressions is that the case is fairly plastic based. You can tell the difference between the Nitro and the Helios but the matte black appearance keeps it fairly low key. There’s no mistaking it as anything other than a gaming laptop but it’s a nicely put together piece of kit and everything appears well made. I didn’t notice any huge amounts of flexing of parts. As most laptops there was one hot spot of backlight bleed near the bottom edge but that’s generally always the case with systems securing their screen to such a small bezel. I never noticed it outside of a completely black screen. Touch pad is super responsive and I was able to easily play something like Night Crows without feeling like I was hampered without a mouse.
