Acer ConceptD 3 Ezel CC314-72G-72SX Convertible Creator Laptop, Intel i7-10750H, GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q, 14 FHD, Gorilla Glass, Pantone Validated, 100% sRGB, 16GB, 512GB NVMe SSD, Wacom AES 1.0 Pen

I thought it was just an issue with my laptop, until I checked the reviews and saw multiple others having the same issues. The actual laptop is pretty great. But there seems to be a pretty severe issue with the GPU. It is constantly BSODing, and after it recovers from it the GPU will remain disconnected and requires multiple restarts reenable. I sent it in to Acer Repair and they sent it back saying they couldnt reproduce it. I find it a little hard to believe, since all you have to do is turn on the laptop and it will BSOD eventually.

I love this laptop. It is more powerfulI than bigger, more expensive ones, is small enough to take anywhere, and its collapsible screen make it incredibly versatile.

My unit had the same issue that a couple other reviewers had- about 50% of the time the computer cannot detect the NVIDIA GPU and I frequently get BSoD with errors like video_dxgkrnl_fatal_error and driver_power_state_failure. I spent a couple days trouble shooting, I wiped and reinstalled the NVIDIA drivers multiple times and even factory reset the computer, reinstalled windows and everything. I get the blue screen multiple times a day with regular use (particularly when using photoshop as it often cannot use the dedicated graphics).

This laptop is so much more than just that…it is a graphic workstation, a regular office workstation to crunch numbers in spreadsheets, a light portable gaming station, and sleek enough to take on the go. Additionally, it has an outstanding variable display that moves around, acts as a sort of super tablet (if you so choose) and has a very responsive stylus that is the best I have used. It is very responsive, stows away perfectly, and it has opened up so many options for me to be more productive…and to have more fun. Drawing is amazing on this and it goes hand-in-hand with creativity. All of the above is bolstered by the fact that the screen is ridiculously accurate and validated by a company that is respected for such ratings. There are not a lot of flaws about this beast in a small package but I will outline both in the portion below.

1. WOW!

I got this device a few weeks ago and wanted to wait to write the review to get a realistic experience.

(note I got this from the acer store but they wont let me leave a review there)

Constantly rebooting with windows or power issues, not sure what is happening.

Excelente laptop, un estilo sin igual, los colores se ven muy bien y los programas corren fluidos. Me hubiera gustado que sea menos pesado y la batería dure más. Es una gran opción.

Look, this is a really cool concept for a laptop. A laptop for creators and artists to be able to take their work on the go, that’s what this laptop advertises itself as. It presents itself as a laptop, but with the desktop power to be able to handle heavier programs. The screen moves and comes out for whatever it is you need, but the reality is, the laptop is too compact to truly be able to handle my programs. Simply running things like Adobe Illustrator or small games and the laptop’s fans are louder than the actual fan in my room. I also quickly ran into audio issues, and the laptop itself has stopped playing sound out of the speakers entirely. I’ve only had the laptop for a day. Acer has produced many good laptops that can handle resource-heavy programs/games, and their Concept D models haven’t all been bad, but I believe this one just seems to be a simple laptop with a few more buffed specs. If you’re looking for a sleek compact design for good day to day laptop, this is a good choice. But as for anything much more than that, you’d probably be better off with an actual heavy duty gaming laptop.
