This thing is a work horse and can handle anything you throw at it. Its almost as powerful as my $4k PC!!

As a beginner gamer, I dont know all the details that makes a gaming computer good. Gaming on this device is a very distinct experience compared to regular PCs and laptops. From what Ive noticed there is no lag on most games, it handles graphics intensive games well, and the hard drive size makes it easy to download multiple games without running out of space. Compared to my everyday laptop (ASUS Chromebook), this handles games without struggling, lagging, or just outright crashing. Ive used this laptop to play most of the mainstream games (COD, Apex Legends, Destiny, etc) and had a great experience. The performance maintained the same smoothness even with adding a controller.

Pros:

Frequent Blue Screen Of Death. When I first purchased it, would happen perhaps once a week. After owning it 1 year, it now happens twice a day. BSOD doesnt appear to be related to high computer usage as it is just as likely to happen when idle or watching a YouTube video as it is while playing a game. Never had this problem with any other computer I have owned.

Has everything it should, except it came with Windows 11, not 10, a huge kick in the gut

Dusted off my keyboard and 1 key came off. Called warranty department to submit a claim and they would not cover.

This Acer laptop is awesome. I own several Acer gaming laptops and this product adds to my arsenal. It has a wide screen with awesome colors. The solid state hard drive is massive and has plenty of punch for multitasking purposes. The laptop is highly responsive and fast and doesn’t even blink an eye when loading or putting it through heavy usage. Set up was simple enough and as usual lots of updates were required to be downloaded (which is normal) during any setup of a new device. I did not encounter any hiccups just smooth installation! The laptop doesn’t run hot even during heavy usage. The product is heavier than my other Acer laptops but this baby has a much larger screen to view. The keyboard is laid out properly and is very responsive and it has decent speakers to boot. I have played some games on it without any tearing or slowdown. . Boot up time is pretty fast and so far I’m very happy to recommend this product. This product is a great choice for those looking for a nice gaming product. Buy one and be happy!

I recently ordered the Acer Nitro 17 Gaming Laptop and let me tell you, this machine is an absolute beast! From its impressive specifications to its stunning display, it has exceeded all my expectations. If youre a serious gamer looking for a top-tier gaming laptop, the Acer Nitro 17 should more than meet your needs.

Plugged in the adapter and pressed the power button. Nothing. Total DOA. This is not one of those things. Its a total lack of quality control. Before you put it in the box. Push the button and turn it on. I worked in IT for ten years and after hundreds of units ordered I never had a DOA Apple or Dell.

I tend to stay with laptops that you can take appart easily. This way you can do maintenance on it, or do upgrades. This laptop is just what I wanted a good upgrade from my Predior Helios 300 bought 4 years ago. I definately enjoy the Acer brand always a good buy.
