    It’s great. So far so good, with no problems or flaws worth complaining about for the money. It’s no $2,500 laptop.. but it’s worth every penny spent!

    First of all this was my first "official" gaming laptop and it has been a great experience. The rx560 works well with this and processor was plenty fast enough. It does not produce the best visuals, but if you want something mobile and that will give you good settings this does the job. The laptop has served me well, but I dont run the most demanding titles. If you are playing games like cs:go and wow this does the trick very well. I really enjoy having this as my on the go machine.

    My son received this for Christmas last year and we are already returning it to Acer for repairs for the 2nd time in 1 year. Luckily, the first time was covered under the warranty (the screen quit working completely), but this time I have not received confirmation that it will be covered (will not boot up past loading screen). It does work well when it is actually in working condition and he is able to play the games he likes (Minecraft, Fortnite, and Roblox) with no issues. I'm not sure about its ability to keep up with more complex gaming. In my opinion, a laptop should last beyond a year before needing multiple repairs. I do wish we had spent a little more and purchased a better system. I would not purchase it again.
