    On paper this Laptop is amazing! Best Buy did an awesome job by listing this product. It was sold out everywhere. I was extremely lucky they had one on display at the best buy near me and so I was able to order one at the store, even though it was sold out. The screen is spectacular. It’s been only a week and the laptop is already shutting down 45 min into my gaming sessions. I purchased the laptop to play video games. I travel for work and on my down time I love to game. I checked the event log on windows and it seems the laptop over throttles and shuts down to prevent damage. I was looking at the cpu temperatures while in game and the temp was fluctuating from 80 to 100 degrees Celsius within seconds. I’m not sure if this is a hardware issue or software malfunction when reading temps. I called acer and they had me update the BIOS but still shut down. I really love this laptop but I think I have no choice but to return it. I hope they can fix the issue.

    Excellent laptop for price and easy to upgrade SSD (if you have a Torx screwdriver and pry tool) but heats up quickly and does not have any option to set the fan curve.

    Amazing performance and easy to use built in overclocking features. Runs great, but it's quite loud (I rather it be loud and cold than quiet and melting itself).

    Computer review: Going from 8MB of RAM to 32MB is a completely awesome experience. A lot of reviews complained about the fan noise, but I barely notice when the fan kicks on. I probably don't play any games robust enough to generate copious amounts of heat. The image looks amazing and while the internal speakers are a bit tinny, I use external speakers. Overall I think it's a great computer.

    Upon powering on and clean installing windows, CPU is consistently sitting idle at 80 degrees with occasional drops to 70 at its lowest. Already sceptical I started Hades maxed out, not a very demanding game. Fans started blasting twenty minutes in and computer completely shut down due to heat. I mean it could be just the one i tried, possible thermal pasting/pipes issue. Or it could be that “too good to be true” still stands true. They obviously cut corners somwhere, and i think i know where.
