For gaming

I bought this laptop in July 2020 and everything ok, very fast I even added an additional solid hard drive, but it turns out that in November I left the laptop disconnected since I was going on vacation and on my return (8 days later) I tried to turn it on but it would not turn on, I assumed that the battery had been completely discharged, however when the charge was completed it did not turn on again, I contacted Acer Support and they generated an order to take it to a technical service center, it turns out that the main board had failed and it requires change. Now I will have to wait 3 WEEKS! for the spare part since I have the laptop in Peru. Thanks Acer because I wont be able to use my laptop until after the holidays, until 2021.

Overall, Im super pleased with this laptop, and I am also really glad I went with the model that has the 16GB DDR4 RAM and the 512GB SSD storage space. The screen has great resolution, basically anything Ive done on it is super fast, and for the price point, youre getting a lot of laptop.

Awesome powerful gaming system. It powers up fast and shuts down easily. Updating the graphics card is an easy step through step process when needed it. The design is awesome. I love the lit up features. It doesn’t come with a mouse, so order a good simple gaming mouse or you’ll be stuck with the mouse screen.

Its a nice laptop for gaming..

This laptop is a beast when it comes to photo editing. I can run PS, Luminar AI, and Lightroom at the same time and it doesnt seem to even bother this laptop. I suspect it would be great at gaming too. Starts up fast, stays fast, and is an overall great machine.

For the price I hoped for better quality. Battery life drains fast while doing basic internet browsing.

This laptop was used in one place - never transported and knocked about. The LED light in the screen stopped working after less than 2 years. If you plug the computer into another monitor you can see that it is working but really not impressed with the lifecycle of this model. I wish I noticed they were going from a 2 to 1 year warranty before I made my purchase!

It keeps disconnecting from Wifi and i work from home and that really annoying.
