I really love it. It work very good for many game.

This laptop is awesome!! The speed is fantastic!!!

Very nice. Affordable price and it has a freebies.

The screen colors are great, but only 8 gigs and a i5 really bottlenecks the GTX 1050ti from performing how it should. This is okay for gaming Indy games or minecraft and world of warcraft but don't expect to play shooters like Call of Duty on this computer.

With the specs that the acer nitro has for the current price is at, it is a great recommendation from me as a consistent gamer. Some games require a little reduction in graphics to be playable, but still remain in the high settings overall. Plays fallout 76 no problem, so that tells you much.

Great laptop for gaming for the price! I would recommend an external hard drive. The only downside for me is the battery life. While playing games it might last 2 hours if I'm lucky. It has a great fan that keeps the laptop cool and I love the light up keyboard! Would buy again!

You guys have Done yourselves proud. The sound and picture quality are top notch. I love the remote. The one thing I'd like is that once i set the sound output to my external unit, it stays there everytime we turn the TV on. Please fix that. You're a 4.9 out of 5 stars.

This is an outstanding value for the performance you get out of it. My only real complaint is the size of the hard drive. At 256 GB, you will find yourself running out of space very quickly so I highly advise the purchase of and external HD to go with it.

Great laptop for light gaming. It only has 256GB of storage which isn't a lot at all, so adding an addition SSD in the space provided would be great. Keep the M.2 as the boot drive and the SSD as the game drive to minimize boot times.

I'm giving this laptop a 5 star rating for the price value you get when you get it, is easy to upgrade single DIMM 8gb DDR4 2166, empty Drive slot and all the needs for basic MOBA and some AAA games if you game like me in a TV with 720p resolution you can play with most settings on high

I needed a new laptop, because my old one was ancient and slow. I don’t know much about building my own, but when I saw the specs this laptop has, it sounded just right. After about a month, I still really like it. No problems, and it plays the games I want to play.

This laptop is definitely entry level, compared to the other configurations. Pros: S 1. SD drive for faster loading of Windows = fast boot up. 2. Expandable bay for another 2.5 HDD or SSD. Even includes the screws and mounting bracket. 3. Expandable memory, because this unit only has 8 GB. Great for the casual use, but once you start multitasking, you’ll likely notice some slow down. It’s easy to upgrade the RAM also. 3. GTX 1050ti dedicates graphics. The laptop uses the built in Intel graphics for the basic stuff, and the Nvidia card takes over when you start gaming. 4. The matte screen is pretty clear, with minimal wash out. Full 1080P monitor is a nice pairing for gaming. Cons: 1. Keyboard backlight can’t be configured for brightness or timeout before it turns off the lights. This is especially annoying if you’re playing a game that requires key entry, you’re in a darker room, or find the backlight just turn itself off from time to time. This required me to either toggle the back lighted keyboard back on (via the FN key) or restart when that would fail. There were at least 3 occassions yesterday where the backlights keys wouldn’t come back on with a simple tap of a key. Not sure what’s causing this issue, but I hope a fix is released soon. 2. 256 SSD can fill up quick if you’re a hardcore gamer. Recommend you install a 1 or 2 TB drive and use it for downloads and apps. 3. Acer bloatware is very apparent, and the fact that it auto registers an Acer account using the MSFT Windows account login you setup, was kinda annoying. 4. Battery is only a 4 cell, which is great for basic use, when the Intel HD graphics are in play, but don’t expect to have a long charge on anything that uses more system resources. 5. Sometimes the screen would flicker (on/off). Not sure if it’s a Windows issue or something to do with the Acer drivers, but it was a bit annoying to deal with the first day with the laptop. Would just happen randomly. Only thing that seemed to resolve this, was reinstalling all the graphics drivers (Nvidia - that were already up to date). Haven’t seen the screen flicker since. If you need a great laptop for casual use and some gaming, this is a great laptop for you. If you can afford to upgrade the HDD/Memory, it’s an easy buy. Otherwise, spring for an i7 processor with a bit more RAM. You’ll be a bit happier with the performance.

I purchased this laptop for my son since his major is game designer. It has everything He needs. Very satisfied with the purchase. Great customer service at Best Buy. Also Geek Squad were very acomodating with the schedule, even without apointment. Excellent.

I bought two of these for my boys. They are their first laptops and they are only used for casual gaming, nothing hardcore, just a couple hours a day if that, but they are fantastic. They computer can keep up with all the games they play and there is no lag.

I bought this product for virtual reality gaming. I have had it a little over a month and so far it has performed well. Further, the price was right. Todate it has performed well and lived up to my expectations. Overall this product has meant my expectations.

I luckily managed to get this laptop for my birthday, and iv always wanted a computer that can actually run good looking games, like warframe, and this computer is great, I have had no issues with this computer so far, and it runs really well. Im happy to have it.
