I own this laptop for a bit more than a week now

It has some nice specs. Unfortunately, I got a lemon and it would try to turn off every time I timed. (But worked fine with an external keyboard.) if you are looking for a laptop that game, do heavy computations, this is for you. But if you want a laptop for traveling look elsewhere.

I recently upgraded my gaming setup with the Acer Nitro 17 gaming laptop, and I must say it has exceeded my expectations. This powerhouse of a machine is equipped with the latest AMD Ryzen 7000 Series Processors and NVIDIA RTX4070 gpu, delivering an exceptional gaming performance that is truly next-level. Whether Im playing casually or engaging in intense online battles, this laptop can handle it all with ease.

i love it very fast an plays my steam games with ease

I will make this plain and simple. For those of you who are looking for something where you can just get right into gaming with high/ultra settings with great FPS without breaking the bank then this is the laptop for you. Very fast boot times, very little bloatware and easy to set up. This thing will run all of your games either on high or ultra settings by default if that is what you prefer. I recommend buying a cooling pad preferably the one from kootec. I have no issue with temps at all. The cooling pad keeps things cool. But overall the performance this thing delivers for its price is awesome.

Excellent for school

Frequent Blue Screen Of Death. When I first purchased it, would happen perhaps once a week. After owning it 1 year, it now happens twice a day. BSOD doesnt appear to be related to high computer usage as it is just as likely to happen when idle or watching a YouTube video as it is while playing a game. Never had this problem with any other computer I have owned.

It ran games like New World at max settings just fine. Problem is three months in and the GPU started having a critical hardware failure rendering it useless and causing the system to default to the processors Radeon GPU. Specific failure was listed as error 43 in the Windows device manager. Even after fully removing and reinstalling drivers and the operating system the failure still exists which is a sure sign of a physical issue. Thankfully I was within 90 days off purchase and Amazon allowed a return saving me from a $1600 loss. Ive had an Acer Predator helios 300 that had worked for over 5 years no issue so Im not sure if this is a one off occurrence, but buyer beware.

Has everything it should, except it came with Windows 11, not 10, a huge kick in the gut

Easy to set up, except for the horrible windows 11 which forces you into certain decisions. Performance is phenomenal. Heat is jetted out the sides for the most part but would not recommend laying the computer on your lab but on a metal/wood laptop cooling pad. This is a very heavy laptop.
