    Excellent laptop so far!! Bought it for my son as a Christmas gift and he loves it, so far not complaint. He loves the fact that he has a bigger screen compare to his old laptop.

    Aside from a short battery run time it works good. Display and speed are great, and it's NitroSense cooling system keeps it functioning as it should.

    The perfect gaming laptop and school laptop rolled into one. It does everything my son needs it to do for school, with enough gaming technology for a newer pc gamer.

    Easy setup. Meets my needs. Wasn't looking so much for a gaming laptop as something that would be good to use with computationally-intensive applications. It fits the bill.

    Does everything you need it to on a budget, although beware that you can definitely notice when it gets dirty... so no gamer hands on this.

    I really like the large screen. I gave it three stars because the thing that seriously annoys me is how hard it is to turn on from sleep mode. I mean do I hit any key, the space bar, what? Another thing that annoys me is that in the middle of typing I lose my cursor. I'm typing along and realize my cursor has moved up, down, left, right into another word. As a writer, I can't have this. So yeah while the speed and screen size are good, I'm annoyed too. I'm guessing a computer guru could help me out, but until then, I'm stuck.

    Nice laptop, would definitely recommend to someone who wants something light, but can still handle most game perfectly fine. Really good computer and lots of value.

    I had a Dell that was 2 years old that had slowed down terribly. This Acer is much faster than the old Dell. There are better ones out there but for the money it's what I needed.

    So many articles about good podcasting computers mention looking at gaming computers. I love this computer, blazing fast, an the SD memory makes it boot up in about 3 seconds.

    I have now had this computer for a month. I am extremely happy with it! I use it mainly for playing simulation games like The SIms 2, 3, and 4. This machine is able to run all three at the same time (though I wouldn't recommend it). With the nitrosense button it also doesn't overheat at all. Battery life is good for this machine when not gaming, but simple word processing or browsing the internet doesn't kill the battery like other laptops I've had in the past. The only downside of the computer imo is how bad the laptop speakers are, but with a headset plugged in, the sound is amazing.
