Received fast. Works great. Nice

So I bought this thing when it was on mega sale and I’m so happy I did. I use it mainly for school and it’s so quick and responsive. I like the mousepad and the keyboard unlike some of the reviews I watched about it. The screen could look better though, it’s made of a nonreflective material that takes away the depth and shine of the colors and so it’s honestly not that eye catching. Overall look and feel of the laptop is solid, and sleek the red LED looks good with the matte black. worth the price I paid forsure I shoulda bought 2 lol. I played a few games and it ran Fortnite and rocket league pretty max. Happy customer

I run plenty of games through this thing with all my other tabs open in browsers and this thing has no issues. Have had it for 6+ months and don’t really have any complaints. I wish the GPU was a bit more powerful for games like COD but overall hitting 100+ fps in all titles is relatively easy at the lower end of graphic settings.

Bought this laptop to replace my 2019 Razer Blade 15 Advanced. You can’t beat the speck list for the price. Totally outperforms my last laptop by miles. One of the biggest pros is how much you can upgrade this thing later. You have so many options for upgrade ability including replacing the original M.2 solid-state drive, adding either a HDD or SATA SSD, and upgrading the ram. Runs perfectly fine for the average gamer. Consistently got above 80 FPS on new Triple A titles. Can easily handle any sort of production work such as Photoshop or video editing. Overall for the price you’re getting a fantastic machine and I would definitely recommend it.

Many people have complaints about the computer not working upon arrival. The quick start manual does cover the problem of putting in the power plug. You need to follow those simple directions. The complaints about the microphone or the headphone port not working are due to the default windows 11 software settings. You need to mess about with various settings to get them to work. This information should be in the startup guide. There is also a user manual that can be downloaded from Acer. The manual has some good points but needed to go into more depth. Some folks complain about the product being damaged in transit. The box that the computer comes in is of good quality (perhaps it has been recently improved).. The outer package (the one that Amazon provides) needs more protective foam or bubble wrap around the computer box. Some people complained in other reviews about the heat output from the computer -- it runs so hot that they needed a cooling mat. In normal operation the variable speed cooling fans (coolboost) seem to do a good job of handling the heat. However, if you are running computer calculation intensive programs you will need to look for a cooling mat. You can easily tell when the computer is getting too hot -- the cooling fans speed up and you can feel the heat coming out of the exhaust ports. In normal operation the computer draws about 65 watts and in heavy use it is less than 100 watts. ALERT: The coolboost software works for Windows 10 but as soon as you update to Windows 11 the software stops working. I called the Acer repair service and they said that the problem will be fixed in an update but that update is not going to be available until April. The power supply is a stepmode type and that is very good if you need to run your computer off the grid. The power supply works with voltages from 100VAC to 220 VAC and from 50 to 60 cps. The stepmode power supply can deal with the rather high total harmonic distortion (THD) produced by a standby generator. Overall, this 17 inch computer is well worth the price (($1199).

The screen flickers like an old tube TV attempting to get a station. Attempted to deal with Amazons customer service to trouble shoot and was passed to Acer. Worked with them for 3 weeks and even shipped it to Texas with a VIDEO of the issue. Got a letter back to say they couldnt replicate the issue but replaced the screen. Turned it on myself and within 30 seconds of it idling it was back at it. The customer service was absolutely horrid. Never again. Wasted time and energy on a plastic piece of garbage.

This is a great Laptop as long as its plugged in. Battery life is supposedly 8 hours, i can barely get this running for 45 minutes without it needing to be charged. Disappointing.

Defective out of the box wouldn’t even turn on after waiting a week for it to arrive. Within a hour of it arriving I had return authorization, packaged it and sent it back to them via UPS. They then refunded me 90% of the purchase price! I have to eat 10% because your unit never worked to begin with??? They have a lot of return wording buyer beware….

The laptop wouldn’t power on. Another detail of warning, all the emails indicated that a signature would be required for delivery, but it was just left on the floor in the common area of the apartment building, indicating that I was shipped without the signature request.

Was missing Solid State Drive only had a hard drive with 475GB. Aside from that everything else was included.
