My last laptop was a similar model, it was old and had a lot of problems including none of the ports working. I bought this one assuming the issues were due to the age of the computer. I have not even had this thing a year yet and the ports all dont work. Why cant they make computers where the ports actually work. Cant use a mouse anymore at all.

For what I paid for it, I think its a nice laptop. I disagree that the cooling is noisy. even with the fans ramped up to speed its not that bad. I like the backlit keyboard. I like that it has room for expansion. I ordered a second pcie nvme wd black sn850 intending to dual boot ubuntu, and installed that. very fast drive. I also ordered a second 8gb of ram and installed that. and since I had the bottom cover off anyways I installed a 2.5hdd that had a bunch of stuff I use already on it. Its been 2 weeks with it and seems to run pretty good. I did have to spend a little more to make it what I want, but its still a good machine before I upgraded it.

Needs to be plugged in pretty much constantly to game for any length of time. Otherwise its great. Met or exceeded all expectations. Really happy with the laptop.

I like the laptop very much and planned to buy it for my son’s Christmas gift, but the price just keep on increasing and I start to think if there is other options. I have decided to just build a pc since it is cheaper and have a better performance anyway. I am leaving a comment to remind the buyers to see if the price keep on increasing then just buy the i7 one instead. The i7-9750h (way faster cpu) come with gpu rxt 2060 (bang on the money) and 16 go of ddr4 ram (no upgrade needed.) Only thing is to add another ssd or hhd (2tb recommended.) Hope if this help!

What I liked was everything.Its a beast for all gaming and is a bang for your buck

I was initially pleased with this purchase, however, after 9 months the hard drive died. It was under warranty and I had to go through hoops to send it away and get it fixed. Came back totally wiped, which I expected, but not that I would need to re purchase Microsoft office suite. Even when logging in with my Microsoft ID. Doing myself a favor, switching to apple.

After about a year of vary limited use. Wont charge or power on. Its a common issue Ive found with this model.

Worked fine for 83 days. Now, it wont boot. Getting no bootable device error. Go into the boot menu no device appears. shows an empty screen. Acer site wont even recognize SN or SNID. Waiting on Acer to respond. Less than 90 days old and a hassle already.

I like the fps I’m getting and the graphics. I do however dislike the battery life I get around 3-4 hours for battery life. And what I’ve also noticed is, keep your charger plugged in, when my charger wasn’t plugged in, I started to lag a bit and my fps dropped. Overall great product. I bought it at $879. I wish I waited a bit so the price would move dropped ):
