    I have never owned an Acer gaming computer before. It was more affordable than the Dells or Asus gaming computers. I’m still working on my opinion of Acer, but so far, so good.

    Wow, what a fabulous Laptop! It's very fast with the 8GB that comes with it, you DON'T have to add more RAM unless of course you are into more intensive gaming. I love everything about Laptop, the RGB Nitro sense is fantastic as well. I highly recommend this excellent Laptop!

    This laptop is exactly what I was looking for. The specs are great. I don't really use this laptop for gaming, but with it's robust specifications, the laptop is great for anything you can throw at it. Also, the laptop was priced just right at around $850.

    Although quite pricey, it does run very smooth on multiple games. I got this for my girlfriend so she could play the sims 4. ( I know, almost a thousand bucks so she can play the sims...) While I will always recommend a PC over a gaming laptop, I will say this one does very well. The Sims 4 runs smoothly with god knows how many add on packs that she has bought. It also runs minecraft around 4-500 FPS at high settings. Those are about the only games she has played on it. All in all, I would say this computer was worth the buy.

    Hardware seemed fine, but disappointing Win 11

    Recently purchased this laptop, but unfortunately had to return it. The hardware seemed fine. The only issue I really had in terms of the physical laptop was the size and weight - was just a little too big for my taste. The biggest problems I encountered involved Windows 11, and I’m not positive if it was a result of the Acer bloatware included. Many of my games and apps simply would not install, and they were appropriate for Windows 11. It became so frustrating after numerous attempts to solve the issue that I simply quit trying and returned it. You may have a different experience with this laptop - I may have just gotten a dud.

    Laptop serves it's purpose, fast, upgradeable and plenty of features. Seems well built. Had to upgrade the memory to 16gb for gaming. It is heavy and fans are loud. Overall, happy with the purchase.

    Great entry-level gaming pc. Powerful enough to run most contemporary games. The battery doesn't last too long if you're playing, and it could use help keeping cool. Otherwise, a nice little machine.

    I am pleased with this laptop. It works as expected and does what I need it to. My only negative view on this is that there are no Home and End buttons, which I use excessively in my work capacity. The capabilities for Home and End are accesses with Ctl + Alt + 7 or 1, respectively, which is problematic for what I need them for. Other than that, it is a great laptop for the price.

    Strong battery and while heavy not hard to move around or travel with. Beautiful graphics, see not slow loading and storage worthwhile. If first foray into PCs highly recommended.

    So far this laptop has performed extremely well compared to other laptops I have used and tried out. Only downsides of this laptop is that ot seems to collect fingerprints on the top of the lid like crazy so I may get a vinyl cover for it to customize it and reduce fingerprint collection. The other drawback is that it does not allow Windows Hello facial recognition using the built in camera, a small feature I know but after having it on my Surface tablet(tabtop as I call it) it would be a festure I would have like to have on my laptop as well.

    This laptop has been great. I am a casual gamer, some RPG stuff and some steam games, as well as discord for convo with my group. This device surpasses my expectations. Plus we got it on sale, which was nice.
