This is my second Acer and I am very pleased with the Laptop. It has great speed and the display is excellent. My old one just wore out after 7 years of daily use and grandchildren's occasional misuse. I would recommend this laptop to anyone.

Has been nothing but great right out of the box. Definitely one of the best mid tier gaming laptops by far. If you are not familiar with graphics cards this is middle of the line. It has run every game I have tried this far. Really good purchase.

Works amazingly well, can play all my games with no lag. Only problem is that it does quite quickly, i am only able to get 3-4 hours max before it starts to die

It's a really good budget gaming laptop. I would give it a 5 star but it only has 3 USB ports. I wish there were more.

Great product. Fast delivery. Easy setup. Only problem is battery life. Battery only seems to last for about 1 hour when not charging. Other than that great purchase!

this was an impulse buy, it does what it needs to do, but you basically have to hang around your charger while using it, the battery life isn’t the best

Decent picture, fast enough and aesthetically pleasing. For some reason doesn’t hold charge very long or has a hard time even charging.

Great value for a nice gaming pc , I like that its all set up to play any game and use controllers or headphones with easy set up , its plug and play. So i totally recommend this laptop for most of your gaming as its not really set up to play your bog games such as cod warzone even tho it plays it struggles to keep up as this is not the most powerful of pc’s but its worth the money for most other games

This is a great "budget" laptop with a lot of bang for the buck. It can do anything i need it to do. I did add 32 GB of memory, 8 is not enough unless all you do is browse internet and email. 5 stars if they came with at least one 16GB chip that you could add a second memory chip to. Very long 2 hr+ battery life

Laptop has been running well with excellent graphics. Been able to play games with no issues. Battery doesn’t last too long if unplugged though.
