> 3 dayOverall great laptop, loving it so far. I mostly use it to play Warzone. The CPU in particular was getting quite hot as gaming laptops often do (90+ degrees Celsius) even with a cooling pad, so I looked up some YouTube videos on cooling and found out about a free program called ThrottleStop which allows you to 1) undervolt the laptop (reducing voltage to your CPU) and 2) dropping Turbo Ratio Limits down (I dropped to 32 for all cores), which caps the turbo speed of the laptop.

> 3 daythis gaming laptop just blows the comp away and is just as good as a 5000 dollar laptop for gaming, dont be fooled into thinking the more it cost the better, this is sufficient n more than enough

> 3 dayThis is not a high-end gaming pc. You will get 5 fps in WZ/MW/BOCW before you even exceed 120 hz output at 1080p. The price you will pay for an actual GPU to see all of the game will cost more than this laptop, so the value is there. It is simply for very low level gaming. Great as a portable dedicated stream rig though.

Greater than one weekI originally bought this in April for the dual purpose of work from home and playing video games. It runs most modern games decently well, which you would expect given the staggering price tag, but you had definitely pray that nothing goes wrong with your machine because Acer support absolutely 100% does not have your back.

> 3 dayBought this Acer Predator after a lot of research. Found good features in this price range. But after using for 8 months, the product poor quality started to uncover. Battery stopped charging all together. Have to keep power cord inserted all the time to use it, which is of course not feasible.

> 3 dayOriginally my review was good before I realized this laptop runs extremely hotter than any system should. Under Minimal load with fans at max RPM I am seeing spikes reaching 90-95 degree Celsius. I sent it in for this issue and when I got it back the problem is still there. Acer says that they resolved the problem and tried telling me these are normal temps. These are not normal temps as the CPU melts very close to this temp. After being run around for a while I am beginning to think this is all a scam. They make some lemons and give people a run around until they cannot return the damn thing. I should have realized something was up when it took them THREE tries to get my email right in order to send a shipping label for repair.

> 3 dayWell for starters this device is great , well except for thermal performence . When im gaming this laptop run over 90c . So at this level of heat it is very uncomfortable (painful) to touch the upper part of the laptop . And mostly the cpu is the one gives you most troubles with heat. So only solution so far i found was to use throttlestop software to turn off turbo boost of the cpu and then the laptop runs even the hardcore games at around 70c. But im pretty bummed about that because as you can see one of the most famous marketing point about this laptop is its so called 4th gen aero blade fans . And even when i turn on the max fan mode it doesnt reduce much heat when gaming (or heavy work). Mostly you can expect is one or two degrees of temperature difference.
