    So far no complaints. Solid graphics runs any Blizzard game very well. I would suggest an additional cooling fan. It has a great cooling fan built in but for lap use can get very hot. If you are using a desk or stand then don't worry about it. Smooth and easily upgradeable if needed. Steal frame is amazing. Great for work and all my kids games.

    Gave this to my husband as a Christmas present. Overall he is thrilled with it. He did have a little difficulty adding the extra stick of RAM that he was also given, but that is more than likely due to inexperience. He says it runs great and downloads fast. He isn’t sure how well newer games will run but that is not a major concerns of his at this point.

    I LOVE this laptop!! I can game, check emails, do school work, and skip around to a bunch of other sites with ease. I rarely if ever have issues with gameplay and even then it is probably just my internet speeds. GREAT accessibility, large visible screen, love the backlit keys. Wonderful product with lots to offer, totally worth it!

    It has almost been a month since I purchased this laptop and I am not disappointed! it is super fast and every game that I try works perfectly. Games from Skyrim and Raft, to Stardew Valley and Minecraft have all run perfectly. I haven't noticed any drop in fps or lag when playing.

    I was not expecting much from an Acer or this price point - thought this would be a cheapo laptop to get me through the rest of the year. Screen is bright, keyboard has a nice feel, and it is sturdy. Doesn’t warp or bend when you pick it up, has a quality shell. Good specs and allows me to play games. All at a good price.

    It was amazing to look at and seemed too be perfect. Screen size great and just the visual alone was great. I bought this for myself after fire but unfortunately i never got the chance to even try it out. It was stolen from my Fema rv.. Like i said. Visual was amazing

    This is very good laptop and has enough power. It is good for a first year computer animation college student it has the power I need for class and enough to just have fun and play a game on it. I only have one problem is that it has a weird battery life but it may be better with some changes on my end. Over all would buy again

    Love It, Save For One Little Thing ...

    You know when there's that one thing that makes you crazy ... This is a wonderful laptop for a wonderful price, no doubt there. I've never had a backlit keyboard before ... very cool. Sound is excellent (I use headphones mostly, but speakers seem to do the job quite well). Battery life ... two thumbs up, no problems with track pad. This thing boots up faster than any computer I've ever had, and I bought my first one in 1996. That one little thing? Acer switched the "Del" and "Home" keys. Things like this are just muscle memory. Keep hitting "Home" instead of "Del" because ... why? I suspect it was to fit the Power key and the "Nitro" key in the right-side block of keys (number keys). I know I'll get used to it in time, but it's the little things, guys! Seriously, a great machine here for a great price. Just watch out for that elusive "Del" key !!!
