    Nice all purpose laptop with some good features but I would hesitate to call it a gaming laptop. It does give some sporty looks and features of gaming laptops especially if you are a newbie to gaming or just on a tight budget and can't afford a true gaming laptop. It is pretty fast and has a nice backlit keyboard and great display. Fast gen 12 i5 intel cpu and 16G of ram are good enough for most uses as well as a gen 4 (I think it's gen 4) 512GB ssd. Gamers will likely eventually need more hard drive space but there is another slot to add a second nvme m.2 drive. I added a 2TB gen 4 ssd to this slot to test it out and it works great so I will likely keep it in there. It even has a space to add an older sata drive though it seems to take away some space from the battery which could have been bigger otherwise. Still it does seem to have decent battery life, depending on what you are doing of course. Gaming will likely drain it faster. I guess my biggest gripe about calling this a gaming laptop would be the nvidia graphics. It only has 4GB of vram which limits its potential. Apparently the 3050 and 3050 Ti are limited to 4GB which while it's fast and capable of running most games the details in the graphics settings of high end games won't allow use of their higher settings because of the lower vram. Serious gamers will want at least 6GB or preferably 8GB or more of dedicated vram to be happy. Still though it seems to be a nice and solid build for all purpose use. I like the bigger size which seems a bit bulkier than the slim laptops but helps it stay cooler and gives you some of the connections on the rear so they aren't so visible or intrusive if you want to connect an external display or keyboard/mouse which I often do. I also like the choices of keyboard shortcuts which are a bit better for me than most laptops. Built in speakers are typical for most laptops. Not really too exciting but ok. Best Buy's specs show 4 ram slots which is inaccurate since mine only has two (I looked). But you can still upgrade to more ram if you want. Mine has 2 8GB ddr4 sticks for 16GB total. If you want to add more be sure to get ddr4 since the newer ddr5 ram won't fit. Overall it seems like a nice well built laptop which should last a while. I expect to use it quite a bit. Reasonable price for what you get. Acer makes nice stuff and they have better "gaming" laptops if you can afford to spend a bit more.

    My husband loves it! Since it is a gaming laptop you can "turn up" a fan which is great. Backlit keyboard is perfect. Great price and great laptop!! 100%

    Good laptop great in gaming, good FPS, and perfect for first time gamers. Only problem is battery is rlly poor. I always keep it plugged in as if it were a normal pc but if you want to use it on the go not so great.
