    An acceptable Laptop for light gaming. If you intend on heavy gaming, I recommend spending a little bit more money and getting a faster Processor .

    Very nice laptop when it’s not giving you issues. Seems to continually have graphics card problems. Within a couple months I had multiple rows of stuck pixels showing up that wouldn’t go away no matter what I tried so I had to send it for repair. Worked fine for a while after and now I’m having problems where the screen would start freaking out and freeze so I’m unable to do anything. About to have to send it in for repair again

    I went into Best buy to purchase a laptop, the associate who helped me was very knowledgeable and listened to what I was looking for and I ended up getting the Acer. It is perfect for my needs and I couldn't be happier with the computer.

    I think the computer is good and it runs the games I want it to well. The price is definitely higher than what it’s worth but not by much.

    She loves this laptop. It has been used daily for the last year. She uses it for school, gaming and casual use. She’s not the gentlest with it, but it’s withstood it’s beatings and is still strong and dependable.

    I am not a gamer but needed a laptop with a dedicated graphics card. I really like this laptop. It does what I need it to do. My only complaint is the battery life. Even with the battery life, I am happy with this purchase!

    So far I could not be more impressed with this laptop, even the battery life has been better than expected. It has more features than a budget laptop should. So far, I think I made the right decision with my purchase.

    We were in the market for a gaming laptop for my son. After looking we bought this one because it was in our price point. We had an issue with the mouse right after the purchase and Geek Squad was unable to fix it. Probably a manufacturers defect. They replaced it with a new one. If I had more money to spend I would have bought a desktop instead of the laptop after doing my research and homework about gaming computers.

    I bought this laptop to play only WoW on it. That was the only thing I loaded. The laptop was super slow, battery lasted less than 2 hours, the power supply got super hot if plugged in while laptop was in use and the game told me my video card was out of date the 2nd day I used it. Very disappointed and sent it back for a refund.

    I was looking for a decent laptop that wouldn't break the bank. And then i stumbled across this guy and was blown away. This fell well within my price range and can do way more than i imagined. Amazing laptop.

    The particular machine I ended up with had a bad wireless card. After one week it stopped connecting to the internet, as i was in school this was a huge problem and i had to return it. While it worked it was an awesome machine. The two stars is for the ease of the return process. Combined with a bad product.
