    I can play a modded fallout 4 run, dragon age inquisition and more on this. If it can handle those 2 with next to no stutter, it can be worth the $950. Battery life is a bit low but i wouldn't take it anywhere that i can't plug it into the wall for

    I purchased this for my nephew while on sale and he seems to enjoy it. At the beginning we did habe some issues with the wifi disconnecting but doing all the updates we havent had that issue anymore. Great purchase for the buy. I like how the charging sections are in the back and the extra m.2 slot to upgrade the storage if necessary.

    Plays Baldurs Gate beautifully for hours on end. Fans go wild, but keep the computer cool. Everything seems to be running smoothly. My last computer was an acer and I've liked having an acer. I do keep it plugged in for the most part so I haven't tested the battery life.

    I have been very pleased with the performance of this laptop. I have been strictly Dell for 20 years, but, based on the specs, this was the better buy. So far, it hasn't let me down. Minecraft is a new experience with this PC.

    This computer works si much better than my last, it's doing things my last computer couldn't do with ease. I've never been able to enjoy my games more. The only gripe is storage.

    Absolutely awesome, I bought it to replace a workstation computer. It is doing a great job and much faster too. I attached a 34" curved monitor and a wireless Keyboard and mouse, it makes for a great setup.

    Solid deal for a laptop, my main complaint with laptops is they usually get hot enough to cook an egg and they have limited storage, not an issue with this laptop Acer has always made quality products and this laptop did not disappoint.
