Laptop is a tiny powerhouse for gaming at the built in resolution of 1920x1200. No problems with running any triple A games, and all microsoft apps are snappy as well. For documents or video editing, this thing is a breeze to use as well. Would recommend keeping the charger on you as well so you can top off if needed. Laptops like this can burn through the battery relatively quickly.

I'm most pleased with the price. Compared to other laptops, this was at least $150 less than its competition. As far as performance is concerned, this laptop easily handles the loads I place upon it. One concern I had was its durability but this laptop is built as well as others. Ever since Mar 2020, I've noticed all laptops have lost in quality but quality is looking like it's making comeback this year. My only disappointment is the speakers which sound a bit tinny.

I've been looking for a laptop for I've been looking for a while and this one went on sale. It had all the specs that I was looking for to play the games that I wanted to play. It's fast, Incredible screen and graphics I added an extra two terabyte drive to it to put on my games and audio recording applications on. I may upgrade to 32 GB RAM but right now 16 is working perfectly. You won't be disappointed in the performance for the price.

Purchased as an open box. Great price. No blems or signs of wear. Plays everything I've thrown at it, CONS: Poor battery life but that was expected. Fans are LOUD!. Open box sub 750 bucks can't beat it.

Upgraded to 32gb of ram and this thing is off to the races. Use it mostly for business and love that the video card natively supports 3 external monitors.

I am not a pc guru. Yet I have some understanding of gaming computers. This particular one was, in my experience, outstanding. Fast, great performance, responsive for the most part, beautiful colors when gaming, and the resolution is very detailed when watching videos. The only con, from my perspective, is battery life. It is advertised to last up to 6 hours although for me it was never more than two even when doing regular, daily tasks and not gaming.

I have had this laptop for a bit over a month and it does everything I need it to do. Huge upgrade over my last laptop with integrated graphics. Fans get loud but they keep it cool, storage is a bit small but is upgradable if you want. Overall was a great purchase when on sale.

I really love this laptop! The screen is great and the performance is awesome it has handled everything I've thrown at it like a champ, my only gripe is that for the price I feel that 512gb of storage is a little low but it does have an extra m.2 slot so I can remedy that problem easy enough, overall I highly recommend this laptop.

overall the laptop is great, especially for its price. This laptop runs better than my poor going on 5 year old desktop for about half the price. Which for a portable device is insane and I recommend this for those who play some big games like cod every once in a while but also travel or want to portability from a device

The specs and features at this price point make this a great gaming rig on a budget. The memory is easily upgradable to 32GB and there is a second M.2 slot for additional hard drive space. The keyboard backlighting allows you to specify the color and effect of your choice. The case of this laptop is primarily plastic, but it has a good sturdy feel to it. As long as you don’t abuse it, it should last a very long time. The screen has a bright and well lit display and admirable resolution. The webcam is only 720, which is a little disappointing, but not a deal breaker for me. Battery life so far seems to be about 6-7 hours of moderate use. Overall I am very pleased with this laptop.
A word of caution though…after initial setup, I checked for updates and began to install some of my software. A check of the Acer site showed several updates of newer versions of some of the preinstalled software and drivers. There was a newer version of Predator Sense and that “seemed” to install just fine but I quickly realized that didn’t. It wasn’t reading any system info, would no longer change system settings, and wasn’t being launched by the dedicated Predator Sense keyboard button. I contacted Acer support and they were of absolutely zero help. They actually me that installing updated software from their site is not recommended. (What??) The only solution he offered was a complete system restore. Luckily, a Predator FB group was able to offer a very simple solution that got it back to normal and all was good. Bottom line ….. proceed with caution on the Acer drivers and software and if anything does go wrong, Acer Support is questionable at best.

Works great for WoW and Minecraft, as well as being an excellent computer platform for work or personal use. The system is easily upgradable to higher amounts of RAM or storage. Has very fast networking capabilities, and the display is gorgeous and spacious. I wish 16x10 was the default on all displays.

I really love this laptop, the colors for the keyboard is amazing and easy to get distracted with. My only issue s if you're gaming on it that the battery dies faster than it seems intended to. No matter the setting that you have it on for the battery. Graphics are alright, some games it can be a little glitchy but honestly it's pretty decent as a good starter gaming laptop

Handles every game at max settings I throw at it but I did upgrade it from 16 gb ddr5 ram to 64 gb ddr5 ram. Keep in mind this laptop only supports ddr5 ram if thinking about upgrading but geek squak installed for me hassle free. Laptop is incredible.

I've been using this computer for over a year now, and I absolutely love it! As a Civil Engineer, I rely on demanding software, and this machine handles everything smoothly and efficiently. It's the first computer I've owned that truly delivers outstanding performance for my work. On top of that, I also game on it, and it’s simply fantastic!

Its an excellent laptop with an affordable price. Comes with all the needs for gaming high quality games, up to date windows 11 and just a wonderful piece of equipment. It is a little bulky, but if you can get past that, its worth it.

This laptop will do most everything you want it to.
Gaming yeah it will do it, it has a dedicated 4050 which will handle most games without a hassle.
(though a 4060/70 would be preferred for heavy gaming).
I haven't had any issues out of it when it comes to performance on games such as ark, skyrim, fallout4.
VR works fine.
It seems to dissipate heat just fine, I've only played games on it for about 4 hour sessions.
It is worth mentioning that it does take the laptop a few moments to swap from its Energy saving graphics to the 4050, somewhere in the ball park of 2-3 seconds.
overall good amount of Ram, decent RTX card, SSD is fast enough for my tastes, i'd recommend getting a external HDD to save some space.
