Yes, its an expensive laptop. This isnt for someone who just wants to surf the internet. This baby is a beast. I play The Sims 4 on it with the highest quality graphics possible, and it runs like a dream. It also looks amazing compared to the 2-year-old MacBook Pro I was previously using. Its a great size - not super portable because its really heavy and large, but that wasnt much of a surprise. I just love this so, SO much. As for battery life, when Im using it for non-gaming, its really long-lasting, but it does use a lot of power when Im playing games, so I need to keep it plugged in.

As a beginner gamer, I dont know all the details that makes a gaming computer good. Gaming on this device is a very distinct experience compared to regular PCs and laptops. From what Ive noticed there is no lag on most games, it handles graphics intensive games well, and the hard drive size makes it easy to download multiple games without running out of space. Compared to my everyday laptop (ASUS Chromebook), this handles games without struggling, lagging, or just outright crashing. Ive used this laptop to play most of the mainstream games (COD, Apex Legends, Destiny, etc) and had a great experience. The performance maintained the same smoothness even with adding a controller.

Very happy, better than I thought it would be, looking forward to the next couple years with it!

I tend to stay with laptops that you can take appart easily. This way you can do maintenance on it, or do upgrades. This laptop is just what I wanted a good upgrade from my Predior Helios 300 bought 4 years ago. I definately enjoy the Acer brand always a good buy.

Definitely a great laptop for gaming. The price-performance ratio is guaranteed. The chassis materials are very plastic, but if you use it carefully there would be no problem.

It is really good

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.

Purples appear blue, reds appear orange, greens more yellow-green. Ive attached pics that show my ~$450 Acer laptop from 4 yrs ago (left) outperforming it in color accuracy (right).

Very good and capable computer, but the high temps make me wonder how this piece of kit will be after 3-4 years in a power users hands. Guess we shall see.

My son is into minecraft and a few other desktop games and this fit the bill. While its no $2500+ desktop gaming rig, it is perfect for our needs. It is a lot bigger than I thought based on the photos. It is solid too. I set him up on his desk with an extra monitor and hes as happy as can be. Should bring plenty of years of joy.
