Excellent computer. Did you know that tacocat is tacocat backwards?

computer runs good for me but i guess i got lucky and bought one that didnt have hardware defects which can happen with anything you buy now in these days anyway. the problem i ran into was it only has 1 display port. i went out of my way to go to the store to buy a usb c to display port adapter couldnt get it to work so now im stuck with one display port i looked it up and cant seem to be successful if anyone knows why im running into this issue please write me back in a email.

Fan ran constantly even when powered off and on battery power. Acer support was useless. Title says it all. Acer support didnt even try to resolve it over the phone and just told me to send it back. I am a computer engineer and did all the basic troubleshooting such as bios settings/update. Drivers and firmware updates, etc. No way I was going to send a brand new laptop back to Acer. I just returned it to Amazon. Probably wont by another Acer product after the crappy support experience. They should at least pretend like they want to resolve it without me sending it in for repair.

144hz panel is super nice!

After 6 months started having issues with USB ports stopping in the middle of my DJ sets. after a year intermittently loses power till about 8 months ago died completely. Finally took it to repair store to find out mother board needs replacing and will cost 1800 to fix a 1500 computer. Mind you I only dj once a week

Quality laptop for a fair price. However had many drawbacks and support on technical issue can be a bit of a pain.

I bought this Laptop on May 2019 and suddenly in November while I was playing, it shut off by its self and never get back to life, only after 6M it get broken.

This could be a very good laptop and if it didnt have its few major flaws it would probably be 5 stars. The major issue most of all is the thermals. Just idling in certain games with a -160 undervolt and my cpu downclocked by 400mhz its still hitting 95c. This is after sending it back for repair because of the same issue. Received the laptop back worked great for 2 weeks and back to the same thermal issues. I am going to try to put different thermal paste on it but its going to void my warranty so ive been hesitant.

Well packaged great looking laptop very fast I was able to install and play Modern warfare warzone with no issues for the price this thing cant be beat. The only negative is the black color used shows fingerprints everywhere

Gaming... 144hz screen but Overwatch in low resolution (full low) drop 2 or 3 times per game at 30fps during 10sec... 20 degrees in my room so its not the weather... Was sceptical to buy Acer. First and last time.
