i have owned this laptop for almost 2 years now and I think I can write a review now. I can simply just not recommend it in my own experience simply because of the Overheating issues I have tried everything I repasted it on multiple occasions with different thermal pastes I have undervolted it i have bought a cooling pad I have set the CPU max power to 70% I have cleaned out the fans and grills nothing has worked. i think this is a problem with just mine as i see other people on forums who say they repasted once and they dont go over 70 but under heavy loads and gaming i get lucky if it the temp goes below 90 degrees it is a constant 95 and on idle it averages at around 60 to 80 and spikes up to 98 degrees C of course. but in every other aspect it is a great laptop and it runs what every you need it to perfectly and it is prbobaly one of the best deals you can get for a laptop with a i7 and a 1060 but i am stuck with it and just have to deal with the boiling water temps and lets just see how long this thig lasts was it worth 1000$? no as i am 15 as of writng this and that monye took a long time to get i wasted a 1000 dollars on a water boiler

I absolutely love it

I’ve never written a review before, but this was THAT bad.

This laptop is replacing a budget laptop from 2011, so it cant help but blow it away. Even so ...

Power supply started to randomly fail under heavy load I.E. gaming. after a year and a half of using this laptop, thermal paste was applied as well as proper cleaning procedures monthly. It was good when it worked but it didn’t for long. I’m a little disappointed in the durability of this laptop

The machine was wonderful.

The predator was a gift for my grandson. He loves it.

Pros: Good screen, good specs on paper.

UPDATE - After talking with Amazon Prime about the issue with the cracked space bar Amazon sent the order back to Acer to be repaired. The Repairs were completed and computer is back and working fine. I changed my rating to a 4 as Acer did fix the keyboard issue with prompting from Amazon Prime. Thanks Amazon Prime you rock!

Love this laptop. fast and the graphics is awesome
