If you dont want to open your laptop and change the thermal paste and undervolt the cpu, dont buy this laptop, it runs really hot mine was at 95 to 98 c after the change in thermal paste and undervolt now im at 74 78 c.

After a couple months of using it, It had so many frame drops. The first month was great but then it started to overheat causing the frames to be bad

On daily basis my son use this compuyer to play games and watch movies

So when I got this computer, I turned it on and it turned itself off in about 2.7 seconds. I couldnt figure out what was wrong until I saw that the charging light wasnt on even though it was plugged into the wall.

good laptop in this price range.everything is best in this specification.

Admittedly, we are not currently using this laptop for gaming, so this will be on the other aspects of the laptop.

to start im a pc tech I bought this as a backup pc and I have to be honest this laptop is really nice it has midrange specs so it will play all your games well the build quality seems solid which i did not expect for the price point it feels quality the performance is great depending on how you have your power settings theres no lag no nothing just a nice smooth desktop performance the whole time and as a response to all of the negative reviews concerning the temps and throttling as long as you turn on cool boost in the acer predator program and or turn the fans on max settings while gaming and are in a cool place you wont have any issues most of these complaints i have seen are from noobs who dont realize thats part of laptop life to an extent and also are not turning the fan speed on max i would high recommend this laptop

This could be a very good laptop and if it didnt have its few major flaws it would probably be 5 stars. The major issue most of all is the thermals. Just idling in certain games with a -160 undervolt and my cpu downclocked by 400mhz its still hitting 95c. This is after sending it back for repair because of the same issue. Received the laptop back worked great for 2 weeks and back to the same thermal issues. I am going to try to put different thermal paste on it but its going to void my warranty so ive been hesitant.

This is a great computer

Its a great computer when it works. This computer that I purchased keeps on crashing with the blue screen of death. Updated Windows, drivers and GPU drivers and still crashes. Its been a week since I got the computer and it has been reset twice and still has the blue screen of death. Not sure if people are having the same issues with this computer but this one is giving me hell.
