    I do not feel like I push this very hard but after playing online for an hour or so its started getting hot and short freezes start happening. only lasting about 1-2 seconds however if you are playing something online that 2 seconds can mean death. This is a gaming laptop that overheats to fast. Other than that It's great and runs higher-end graphics( not top tear but high)

    This laptop is very advanced compared to my older laptop. I purchased this laptop because of the 1 tb disk drive that was in the Specifications. I was going to eventually upgrade it to a ssd. I Was pleasantly surprised to find that the 1 tb disk drive was already a ssd. I am still trying to learn my way around this laptop. The mouse pad has no Right / left buttons. It uses finger gestures instead. I just plugged in a usb Mouse, I tried to connect some external amplified speakers. This laptop has One “ combo jack “ for a headphone / mic combo for multiplayer use. I had to get a adapter that has separate mic / headphone connectors. I prefer to play single player campaigns on some older games ( Crysis, Crysis Warhead, Crysis 2, and Crysis 3 ). I intend to use gaming consoles for newer games. I am satisfied with the performance of this laptop on these older video games. The display has a wider useful viewing angle ( Both vertical and horizontal ) then My older laptop. This laptop is offered in at least 2 configurations, Some with and without the 1 tb disk drive.

    This is a nice computer for the money. It needs more RAM and a bigger SSD. I loaded one game to the SSD and it was full. I did add more RAM and that was pretty easy to do. You do have to remove the entire back panel to do that, though. Some Acer Nitros have removable panels over the RAM and SSD, but this one didn't. Overall, it's a good little machine.

    So far my only issue is that the red lettering is hard to see in low light, until the first key is hit to light the rest. Other wise I love this compute, the speed and preformists is good. But I do have to say I have not done any heavy gaming on it yet, just a couple of older games that have been updated to HD graphics, and loving them on this.

    I use it for school and causal gaming. I am playing mastercheif collection on it. It has no problems running multiple programs on two screens when I am doing school work. I’m so glad I picked up this laptop. I get a decent amount of time before I need to charge it if I’m doing hw or streaming Netflix. A great budget gaming laptop.

    I purchased this for my son who just started college. My job is in technology so I wanted something that would support him for all the years he would be in school while not breaking the bank. This unit has far surpassed my expectations and I am confident it will meet and challenge he throws at it over the next 5 years.

    If this PC had a 144hz display it would be 6 stars. Price is unmatched, graphics card puts out 200 frames on fortnite and 100 in cod consistently. However if your not connecting to a monitor with a higher frame rate you basically playing mouse and keyboard on a game console with the 60hz refresh rate on this laptop.

    I do not use it for gaming. I got it because I've been allowed to work from home and it has all the features I need. I also like that it's red and black, my two favorite colors. It's easy on the eyes. It also doesn't heat up too much. The only thing it lacks is the retractable cup holder I have in my computer at work. I Like
