great computer

It took me a few minutes to install the HD and to figure out to go the HD settings/manager to set up. Other than than than, this laptp rocks. My games run smoothly and and the laptop looks and feels solid.

I disliked the cooling system, it cannot keep up with high graphic games such as Ark Survival Evolved and Riders of Icarus, I have a separate cooling system but it’s so far not working very well, I’m hoping to grab a high powered one soon. I recommend liquid cooling systems. As you can tell, I’m using the laptop for mostly gaming purposes. Everything else on the laptop is great! Haven’t tried out everything though.

Really love this laptop good for traveling and quick gaming setup at friends houses. My 2 major problems with it was the high temps and constant charging while gaming. I even opened it up and reapplied thermal paste and changed the thermal pads but the CPU temps were off the roofs hitting 97°C in games that needed extra power. Overall though It was my first experience with 144hz which was amazing and still satisfied in the power it has for gaming while being as portable as it is.

Awesome laptop, really fast, great picture. Only thing I can think of that could be better, it only has three usb ports. Love the keyboard though.

Amazing laptop.fast delivery to saudi Arabia less than week. When you idle or exploring the net . Put the fan in auto with cooling boost . The heat wont go more 50C but if you gaming put the fan on max and turn cooling boost off . I am a gamer .. so i kill this laptop when i use it. The maximum heat i got from this laptop with fan on max with overclocking is 91C . There is no any laptop with better cooling at this price .Dont think twice! get this laptop !

The cpu is not overclockable, it states that the CPU can be boosted but its not possible. Update 2022: I bought this back in August 2019 and it was an OK laptop, but a few months ago it overheated for some reason and died. Also the battery dies way too quickly.

Amazing budget gaming laptop, it does run quite hot while gaming though. But that can be fix by undervolting the CPU, turn fans on max, I recommend watching Hotel Hero on YouTube, he made several videos on setting up and optimize this laptop.

Acer has a lot to work out. Ultimately this product was returned to Amazon. The laptop just didnt function well while in use. It would at random times just go to sleep. Not shut down. Not overheating. Just go to sleep. Right in the middle of game play. So we suspected it was just a manufacturer issue. The first step was to have a replacement sent.

Running any sort of modern game will melt your laptop and coolers for laptops don’t work
