    My son needed a Windows laptop for gaming, but did not want to spend a fortune for one. We saw this one and the features looked good and the price was right. After a couple of months he couldn't be happier with the purchase. Very fast and responsive. Perfect for the online gamer on a budget that needs a good laptop.

    Great computer. Bought during November. So far hasn’t had a single issue. I did take off all the bloatware from acer except cooling software. Able to play any modern game with ease. However I haven’t tried any VR but I do t think it could anything but the lowest settings. Great computer for the price!

    I bought two of these, one for me and my gf and one for my roommate(best friend of almost ten years)! All three of us love them! Fast working, great graphics, good sound. We don’t do a lot of MAJOR gaming (mostly casual LoL and WoW), but it runs smoothly no matter what we’ve pulled up so far!

    It’s a good gaming laptop but when it’s connected to its charger it performs better I don’t know if that normal but over all I like the performance quality.

    As gaming computers go, good deal for the price (under $1000). Also a fraction of the cost of a desktop PC. Resolution better than other comparable gaming lap tops; decent speed.

    It is a great computer. Super responsive and reliable. Only drawback is the weight. It has a sleek design, but it is definitely not meant for carrying around all day every day.

    I bought this laptop so I could enjoy my favorite PC games on the couch and could take it to my boyfriend's house instead of having to drag my whole desktop setup. It runs almost everything on Medium-High settings. It is great for gaming on the go (or the couch).

    Fair processing power for the price. Easy to use, though a bit slow to start. Display isn't that great guess for the price you dont get 4k screen.

    Purchased for my son for Christmas... he’s only 9 but an advanced gamer for his age.... he noticed a lot of lag while playing hitman 2. It moves very slow even when doing normal tasks, & not a big fan of the trackpad. I’ve seen on YouTube where there’s an update but you have to get on acers site, I’ll give that a try. Hopefully it will help so I won’t have to return it. Hardware is very nice. I’ll give more stars later if the bios update helps the performance.

    I got this pc for my gf. The design and color are very attractive and about the hardware it was also a good deal for somebody looking for an entry level gaming pc to run good games but not something who may require maybe a geforce 1060i and up...

    Went from a microsoft tablet to an Acer. Totally worth it. No lag, great graphics, and the sound is awesome. Bought it primarly for gaming and it's the best for it. I really like how the keys are big and easy to reach. They're not compact.

    The laptop is a good well made latop that runs games pretty well only downside is the battery drains pretty fast when set to high performance.
