    Excellent product however I do not see the need for fan speed control. Computers take care of this feature in bios. Dollar for dollar this meets expectations without custom cooling software.

    I brought this for my kids, because they were using the other laptop for games and I think it was doing harm to the computers, so I said let me just buy a gaming laptop so they can play on there.

    Does everything I expected it to do. Had to do system reset and Nitrosense function wasn't working, but was able to resolve with customer service through Acer. Solid laptop.

    This gaming Laptop has been able to run all the games I’ve played on it so far with no issue. I’ve mostly played lots of Valheim and had no issue running on higher graphics.

    So far, it's exactly what I expected. My only complaint is, as others noted, the stupid location of the power plug...way to easy to accidentally unplug when laptop is moved.

    Very nice and quite fast. The red lighted keyboard is a little hard to read. Video is exceptional. I’ve had Acer laptops in the past and they all have been great.

    More bang for your buck than you'd expect at this price range! Snappy performance and admiral gaming at 60fps. Also the i5 processor handles overclocking very well.

    This was a great purchase, I am very happy with this laptop. The sale on it made it the same price as a non-gaming laptop but has so much more capability. 10/10 would recommend

    This is a nice alternative laptop for making videos. I’m not a gamer but I needed something that could process videos will and was still reasonably priced.

    I thought the computer was a little pricey, however Best Buy made downing programs and set up fairly easy. You get what you pay for and I am satisfied with that.
