    Sweet Laptop for Casual Gaming/Working From Home

    I use this laptop for gaming on the go and working from home. Works great for both. I'm not playing graphically intensive games (mainly Overwatch 2 and Final Fantasy 7 Remake), but it definitely is smooth and doesn't get hot, which I love. I can play on the battery for at least 3-4 hours for gaming (my gf plays it on just the battery every night for several hours without issue. I do design on Solidworks and AutoCAD from home at times, and I have no issue running those programs either. Would definitely recommend this for the casual gamer/at home worker who also wants to be able to game on their laptop.

    Looks good and works better than I expected! Not too big and bulky, making it good for portability, and the battery life is great! Not the highest end laptop, but it is great for all my needs! Streaming, studying, typing papers, and even the mid level gaming! I'm not a huge gamer, but it runs the games that I do play perfectly, such as 7 Days to Die!

    I’m upgrading from an I3 so basically anything is an upgrade. But this… this right here is really doing wonders. I mostly use it for school work. But recently, I’ve been indulging in some steam games since it’s able to handle it pretty well. Especially with two processors. It does faster when compared to non gaming laptops. Yet, what else do you expect from a gaming laptop. Make sure to keep the charger with you at all times

    Honestly this laptop has preformed really well, and better than expected. I use it to run finale, which is a music notation software that has a heavy use on the graphics card. The Rtx 3090 really helps eliminate loading times for audio library’s and part writing. I have also used it to play APEX legends, although the fans get kind of loud, the game runs smooth at 60fps.

    Great computer, battery life is a little lower than I would prefer. Especially when not playing a game. I bought this to be able to do 2 things. 1st was to play games while I’m away from home, the second was to use for note taking during lectures at school. The battery life during lecture when not playing a game is roughly 4 hours which sometimes isn’t quite long enough. Outside of that, the computer has worked amazingly and preformed to my expectations.

    It's great for basic functions and school work. It games smoothly and doesn't lag. The graphics are awesome. The battery life is a bit short lasting 2 to 3 hours unplugged. It is a bit on the heavy side so its not as portable as smaller versions but the massive screen size makes up for it. Overall I think its a very good purchase. I am a full time students that likes to game as well so it fits my needs perfectly.

    Runs well, was easy to set up, and makes a great combo with my drawing tablet. Recommend getting a lap desk of some kind, for me one with enough room to put a mouse on was essential, but even just a regular one I would imagine would help with cooling more easily. No complaints so far

    AMAZING product. My only issue with it is that it only last like, two hours or less if you're playing a game and it overheats somewhat easily. But the dual fans it has helps with that issue well! The battery life with just using it outside of gaming should last you quite a bit, just remember to always bring the charger with you if possible.

    Everything works perfectly for the games that I play, such as Sims 4 and minecraft. It can handle much more too, The graphics are amazing and i cant believe how smoothly it runs, I definetly reconmend it for those who just want something that runs great and whom play games that dont take too much space.

    I was skeptical at first with so many choices to choose from. I was debating between the Acer Nitro and the MIS but after going into the store and looking at both I decided on the Nitro. The laptop is for my son who was begging for a gaming pc. He had two Acer chromebooks and after about 9 months he had burnt them up. You could smell it. I loved the fact this system has 16 gb and I can have the storage upgraded by the geek squad for a small fee. I brought the lapto home and needless to say my son is innnn love. He has been on discord and playing Roblox since Thursday. He said the graphics are nice. The speakers could be louder but after wearing a headset it’s a problem he is not worried about. It connected easily if you don’t already have a Microsoft account you will need one for this system. It’s only been 3 days but so far no complaints.

    Buying this laptop has been one of the best choices I’ve made this year. It runs all the games I play very well with no issues. It works a lot better when plugged in I’ve noticed when it comes to gaming. All around a great budget laptop for college students!

    Everything works fine like Valerint Fortnite i get 300fps but that’s only in low settings and for some reason my Fortnite game and party chat is not working. I looked up every reason why my party chat is not working like I looked at my computer settings and fortnight settings, but my games are not letting me talk to other people but when I go to Discord and talk to my friends my friend’s can hear me fine. if somebody has a reason why add me on discord my user name is thiarlly#0158
