The best performance to price ratio on the market, a must have!

This has a few feautres that are cool, custom keyboard color and fan control; however, the laptop I bought from ASUS for the same price 5 years ago was far superior in gaming quality. I excpected at least the equivalent. Do not buy this for gaming until they realize youre supposed to increase in quality as time moves forward, not the other way around. I was never going to buy from ASUS again after I bought a lemon last time, but gave it second thought. Never second guess yoruself, ASUS is a ripoff company.

The first computer Ive had that will allow me to play my The Sims 3 base game and all 11 of expansion/stuff packs at the same time!

I bought this item for my grand daughter who is studying graphic design. She ordered this specific model and brand so there was no guesswork on my part. Shes delighted! Feedback I received was that this particular item is an excellent, medium (reasonably priced and functional) computer for graphic design purposes.

Noticable Screen back light .Battery life is very poor 1 hour for light use 35 min for gaming if you use without plug in. Other than that its a perfect machine for the price.

Bought one and 4 days after receiving it, it looked like first 2 pics upon booting. Replaced it and the last 2 pics are what the replacement looked like after a few days as well. It would not happen every time, but it would have that white line around the edge for maybe 30 min and would fade back to normal. More recently, the replacement wont turn on immediately after hitting power button. The screen stays black and no response for 15 minutes or so. I wanted to give it one more chance, because I havent read about this happening to anyone else and I received these two laptops right before Amazon went out of stock, so I thought maybe I just got bad ones at the end but, unfortunately, Amazon can only provide a refund and are still out of stock.

Cooling is terrible. Don’t let the aeroblade bs fool you. Don’t buy this unless you want an expensive way to cook an omelet. Build a pc

I was so excited to get my PREDATOR. I grabbed the Amazon box, opened it up and viewed my first bona-fide game system of this kind. Like a kid in a candy store, I could not get to my new experience fast enough. After opening up my holy grail of gaming systems, charging her up and hitting the on button....... I waited....... And Waited....... And waited....... Finally, she fired up and came to life. It was like having a lightning bolt rain down on you, yet, land gently in your lap. It was intoxicating for about five seconds. Thats when it turned off and never started back up. I called The Predator Premium Service line to ask how this could have happened and what to do next. Sadly, ACER told me, um, Id call AMAZON, they can help you better then we can at this point. HOLY SMOKES PEOPLE. I just needed a little PREDATOR love. Finally, I called AMAZON and was helped in the way that only AMAZON can help. Well see what happens with round two.

GAMING:

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.
