Very smooth hard to bog down!

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.

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!

Got this for my family to use; the kids for gaming and for video editing. It is amazing! It is fast at everything and runs every game and flies threw heavy editing. Its bulky and the battery life is just okay, but I wanted performance, not sleekness. Its actually really cool looking and both the keyboard and touchpad are great. Would definitely recommend.

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.

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

Ive had this laptop about 5 months now and i use it about 7-8 hrs only once a week on my day off.. So it only has a little over 100 hrs of gameplay and now it feezes just about every time i play my game... Not cool for a 1300$ laptop and im not tech savy so i dont know how to fix.. I honeslty cant recommend it for any heavy or moderate gamer

Thanks

This was purshased for gaming & other heavy cpu/gpu usage (video editing)

I bought this laptop to be able to work remotely and also play call of duty world war II. I tried to make the best of the preloaded operating system with the stuff that was on there, but I did not like it. I downloaded the Windows 10 creation tool and put that on a USB. I booted to USB and did a clean install of Windows 10 home. Afterward I started utilizing this little beast to play call of duty. Let me tell you, I have never in my life seen a laptop get this hot! When I say hot I mean it will burn your freaking fingers! The panel center of the screen above the keyboard was so hot I could have literally fried a piece of meat on it! Im not kidding! Luckily for me I had a five fan laptop cooling device that I plug into my USB and was able to put it underneath my laptop which yielded impressive cooling to this machine. Let me tell you it is still hot! But not so hot that it would burn you now. I am very worried that the heat that is generated from this machine will make it die too soon. Otherwise I am averaging a hundred and sixty three frames per second on call of duty world war II, I do not have the settings to max on anything because I want performance more than I want beautiful pictures. I hope this review helps some of you and especially I hope this helps the people at Acer so that they can design some type of better cooling system for future gaming rigs at this price point.
