IF YOU BUY THIS LAPTOP ALWAYS GET A WARRANTY THIS LAPTOP WILL OVERHEAT eventually. I have done everything to try and figure out why is it overheating with no luck!!!!!! Ive had to power back a lot of the setting and even using a quick CPU setting this laptop is still wanting to overheat at 90C

I am writing this from Day One of recieving this laptop. Once, unboxed and create a user, I proceed to use the Microsoft Edge web browser. Immediately, I got hit with error_connection_timed_out on msn.com. I then try the gamer paradise, Steam website, same result. Reddit, same thing. Amazon, where I bought this thing, same thing. Even when advised by tech support to go to the brands website, Acer, it timed out the same way. Tried updating the drivers, says that they are the latest. Tried downloading new drivers from acer website using my ethernet cable, same thing afterwards. Tried flushing the dns and reconfig ip, worked for a couple of hours, then same thing. TL:TR Gaming laptop, nearly a grand does not even have properly working wifi drivers. I do not even have a chance to view major websites much less play games. I am going to get a refund, what a waste of time.

After a couple months of using it, It had so many frame drops. The first month was great but then it started to overheat causing the frames to be bad

I want to give a five star review but the thermals are horrible! I’m on the brink of returning it because of this problem and I had the Dell G5 and it never overheated like this mess. Just go with the Dell G5 but avoid the Dell G7. i7 8750 is a thermal mess avoid this processor! I undervolted and it still gets hot temperatures honestly for the cost I shouldn’t have problems like this.

Very good value. Powerful and can handle demandind loads for music production with heavy plugin use. It has anice feature where you can control fan speed and regulate the temperature manually. I like everything about this laptop except the battery life. Its terrible. I get about an hour maybe an hour and a half of life off the charger on airplane mode with lowest screen brightness and only running my DAW.

I mostly just play Borderlands but the graphics are SO much more amazing than my last computer. Overall its easy to use and Id repurchase again.

I like this computer.

overall it was a good option for someone that play not so demanding games. the only down side is the battery. but how i use it to play only i have to plug it all the time. at the end is not a problem.

It runs fast enough and I can open as many windows as I want and it doesnt lag. Its just the loudest laptop Ive ever heard. The fans almost drown out the speakers. I bought a fan to run underneath and the internal fans still kick on. The thing runs hot and is super loud. I dont think I would buy it again because its ridiculously loud.

Purchased this laptop less than a month ago, and enjoying it. Came as advertised with the extra caddy, screws and everything. My framerates are amazing, and I play most games on Ultra (automatic settings) when available. The laptop does get hot, which is expected of a gaming laptop, as is the low battery life. If youre ok with using it as a stationary laptop with limited movement then youll be just fine.
