great computer

The laptop runs normal things fine. Twitter, YouTube etc.. but just playing cargo, I get awful frame drops often. Its really not even playable. Looking to return mine for a refund. Not happy at all. If it cant run CS what can it run, unfortunate..

Look

I specifically asked a question about this, What is the nic card in this laptop? i connect at faster than 300 mbps, and need 10/100/1000 adapter, and the reply was: It comes with the standard Realtek eithernet card. Its a gigabit network card. Dont need an adapter as it has a RJ45 jack on the side. Well, no, it does not connect faster than 100mbps.

Runs games way to hard sometimes and overheats for no apparent reason even with the nice fans

This is the second Acer gaming laptop Ive had, and both times theyve had strange problems with WiFi connections where theres a non-trivial chance that the network settings are going to just be completely unavailable (as in, I cant even view what networks are available to connect to, the network & internet settings program wont even load, I have no internet connection, and network diagnostics cant help at all). The problem happens regardless of what connection Im using, regardless of the computers temperature. Internet forums seem to suggest that this might be a consistent problem that others with the same model have as well. The laptop works great for the first 6-8 months, and then these network problems pop up randomly. Sometimes Ive been able to resolve it by restarting the computer a few times, sometimes it seems I have to let the computer sit for several hours. It just happened again, and neither of those are fixing it so I guess Im going to have to resort to a full system restore. Its such a shame, because the laptop is such a great value otherwise - but perhaps issues like this are exactly why.

The hardware was faulty to a point of making anygame unplayable, on top of massive overheating issues. Anygame on low hitches constantly which makes any form of gaming impossible to enjoy.

The monitor is fantastic. The 144hz refresh rate is amazing for gaming. The imaging is very smooth and noticeably better than 60hz on my tv.

All Good, I dont have to talk about this beauty and the prime services of Amazon.

I dont often even write reviews, i have to be compelled by a superior experience, or an abysmal experience. anything that falls in the middle isnt worth the white noise.
