    I got this on sale so it was decent performance for the money (I payed $850). However I uninstalled some of the the manufacturer provided software and it hasn't been the same since despite multiple clean installs of Windows. You can safely get rid of cloudnine (pretty obvious bloat), but don't even think about touching nitrosense or care center or disabling any services in system config. Acer does not forgive and my computer has been having problems since. Take my advice and just deal with the ads and promotions, it's not worth trying to figure out what's bloat and what's not.

    It worked great for a few weeks, then started acting slow. The fan is loud, which isn’t that big of a deal for me. I only used this for a few games, but all of them are just slow and hard to play because of it. Overall 3 stars

    The laptop its self was great! Loved it but the power box to charge the laptop got very hot very fast. But other than that the laptop had great graphics and ran smoothly.

    Sometimes the whole thing would turn off completely, it stopped after i updated everything and made sure it wasn't overheating. I also cant update the Nitrosense app would always fail and say it cant update. Other than that it gives good FPS, pretty fast, would recommend if you're on a budget.
