    The laptop is fairly well built, the keyboard is dark and only lights when needed unless plugged in annoying orange keys are too dark for my tastes better if they were a lighter color or more control on or off and not on whilst unplugged battery is decent not great . Would go 3.5 stars if I could definitely not a 4

    The laptop bluescreened a TON when not plugged in for some strange reason, literally 5 minutes out of the box, it bluescreened. Right away, red alert. I work on computers for a living and this is not a good sign. I do a reset and try again, with it plugged in, it seems to never bluescreen. The laptop can run games, however, with 40m-1hr battery life while playing games and bluescreen without it plugged in makes it practically useless to me. Literally just a more portable desktop since you pretty much just need it plugged in.

    I was comparing this laptop to a Dell equivalent (CPU, RAM, SSD size) and it was the IPS display (vs. TFT on the Dell) and the quieter cooling system on the Acer that won me over. My son uses it for school work and gaming (PUBG, Fallouts, Dooms, etc. and max settings) and loves it. Very happy with this purchase.

    I purchased my Acer Nitro for one sole purpose; to play the Total War Series games at optimal settings. This PC had far exceeded my expectations. Smooth processing, crisp graphics, overall great computer. I would recommend 10/10.
