    I find this laptop to be just what i needed in terms of video editing. Adobe premier runs smoothly for what I need, granted I'm not running on 4k or anything. But so far it's perfect for what I needed it for.

    I was initially apprehensive about this computer because I was looking for something that is also good for video editing and I'm happy to say I found it. It has made my life a whole lot better!

    DO NOT BUY AN ACER

    I have had this computer 6 months and already the screen cracked on its own and the hard drive went. Each time, Acer claimed not under warranty and wanted over $400.00 just to initiate the repair. I have spent $60.00 on a new screen, $75.00 on a new hard drive and had to pay Acer over $45.00 for an e recovery thumb drive as none is provided when you purchase. I will never buy an Acer product again and will spend the extra for a better gaming laptop the next time.
