Amazing laptop

We got this on Black Friday and I was hesitant because I’ve not had much luck with Acer products in the past. And I disliked the advertised screen resolution but boy was I wrong. The type of display it is is crisp, clear and bright and seems like a much higher resolution than it actually is. This allows me to play anything maxed out. I’m currently playing Hitman 2 on max settings, as well as far cry 5. So far we haven’t had a lick of problems with ours after 3 months of constant use. Very pleased with my purchase. This blows the Dell gaming laptop I previously owned out of the water (and it was just as much).

I had nothing but problems from day one. On the very first boot it locked up and had to force shut down. Figured maybe it was just a fluke. Booted back up. Managed to start setting up. Locked up again. Force reboot. Work a bit more. Blue screen of death. Over and over

No Display Port in 2019, applications get corrupted and it heats up the keyboard to an uncomfortable level.

Great value and power for the money. Clear 144hz screen. Runs slightly hot but configuration and a cooling pad fixed the issue instantly

Everything is good minus one major issue. After 10 minutes of gameplay there is major heat throttling making it useless for gaming. The specs are great but you cant use them due to the horrible thermal issues this laptop has. I even tried some stuff I read from forums and nothing worked. I even bought a cooler for it and it did nothing. I will be returning this laptop and trying my luck with a different brand.

very good

My only dislike is that it gets very loud.

Overall was a decent laptop but the heating issue is very worrisome. Had to stop using it. Not worth the money imo.

It is my first laptop and i must say it works perfectly great. I love it.
