Acer Predator Triton 500 PT515-52-73L3 Gaming Laptop, Intel i7-10750H, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER, 15.6 FHD NVIDIA G-SYNC Display, 300Hz, 16GB Dual-Channel DDR4, 512GB NVMe SSD, RGB Backlit KB

If I’m just writing a lazy letter or polishing off a opponent using the most up to date hardware with a three hundred Hz refresh rate that just gave me the edge to do so. It does both with very little fanfare. There is a reason it’s called a Predator Triton five hundred. with a capital P. It’s on par with other top of the line gaming computers on the market currently. It was easily set up as a computer voice that really puts you at ease talks you through setup. First thought the computer sort of growled and set the keys aflame with fire as they transversed about on the keyboard. It’s a awesome start to what’s going to be a thrill ride to remember. I first called and hammered out the warranty with the company as it is a computer and things do go wrong periodically and knowing what’s expected of me and return policy etc, etc……sooo all that’s in order. Past bad experiences have ingrained warranty fanfare as a first necessity with computer ownership. I’ve been using it for about a week and I’m getting quality performance from whatever I do. If I add a app it just sings and there it is, if I want to cruse through a heavy program that requires a lot of RAM, there it is with just a little a of a whirling blade to be heard. But when I start a game and fast is what’s needed I just kick the Turbo button and I can hear the blades start getting rid of the heat I’m causing during play and at the set point I appointed. Or I leave it to itself to monitor and determine what’s needed automatically. I mostly will be using that because I love set and forget computer automatics because then I can concentrate on other things that have to be done manually and I have to remember them. I could here it cycle without my input during play. The graphics are a definite show pleaser and my eyes were transfixed with solid color rendering that made games and music videos hypnotically additive but very much enjoyable. My thirteen point four inch old laptop just can’t compete with the predator at any level. It’s still a good computer (Yawn) but it’s probably going to get pushed further and further into the back of my closet and as time goes by my future self that now lives in a robot finds it and has a good laugh. In other words the Predator Triton 500 meets the hype I read on it and exceeds it brilliantly. Battery life is what is expected for a gaming laptop of this caliber and if you need more than a few hours of laptop time then pass this one up and I’ve got a thirteen point four inch one with ten hours of battery life for sale. Update (21 September 2020) I’m having a very fun time playing games that require fast paced moving and I’m really having a blast. The resolution and colors make it a pleasure to play. I’m not really bothered by the fans as they work to keep the heat away and for this type of computer it’s expected. It’s a fun computer for a ton of different types of gaming and I can even do my bills blazing fast as well, although THAT just isn’t as fun. Five Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!!!

I dont like bulky thick laptops, this is great because its really thin compared to others, also it doesnt have too much led which i liked alot. It also has some minimal look. One thing I will say is the power brick, which is quite large and heavy, but other than that its a great laptop. I would love to see a type c charger from acer that we could purchase and use it for on this laptop. Will do a in depth review in 2 to 3 months.

I have two of these laptops, both were purchased brand new. Both were used about the same amount by two different people. Both had their CPU fans die at almost the same time. When I say die I mean loud noises, scratching, not cooling efficiently enough.

If you purchase this laptop DO NOT use it on your lap or on a soft plastic surface. I had two and they both had the same heat problem. The bottom of the laptop would become way to hot to even touch and it would heat up very easy and quickly. you could of course run it on turbo and this would reduce some felt heat but be advised turbo is very loud. I am quite sure the bottom would get hot enough to melt soft plastic. At 61c or 141.8f a burn can happen in seconds. I love acer, i use a acer swift1 it has lasted me for years with abuse and its what im writing this review on. I cannot recommend the acer predator triton 500 knowing the risk associated with it.

Best laptop I have had in my life.

I ordered this laptop for gaming and school work the amount of effort acer put into this laptop is amazing, the temps are literally the coldest on the market Im using the auto fan preset and I get a solid 120fps on minecraft rtx with turbo I can achieve 160fps but the fan is louder then an airplane, the screen had no backblight bleed and I measured the panels response time with overdrive I managed to achieve 2.47ms on average with 300hz running on gpu mode aka g sync, the battery life on this unit is amazing with optimus running on 60hz at 60% brightness, I recently got it today so Im not done testing but its still 74% by just browsing on chrome watching things on youtube (fortnite montages) and (anime) also, I went on microsoft teams did some stuff and also reddit, I dont know why but the colors were higher then normal the brightness I measured was 367 nits which is good for a gaming laptop 101% srgb with 81% adobergb and 83% p3 with a contrast ratio of 1250:1. Overall if your going for any gaming laptop this is the thing to go one consequence is the wrist wrest space see the video for yourself, if you own any razer gaming mice you will know this is small, personally I would find this a benefit since I cant tuck my chair under my table so Im not sitting too far away from the laptop

Initial Impressions:

The product is carefully packed; mine came with at least 2 boxes before it reached the laptop. Acer tends to provide great care of their packaging, so the problem of a broken laptop on arrival is extremely rare. It is a monster when it comes to gaming. With 300hz monitor, I am satisfied as there is no tearing and fps spike. It is just a perfect choice especially for FPS games out there. However, there are two problems to be concerned about, which are the noises that it makes and the heat. Usually, while gaming, you would probably hear a lot of fan sounds, and it might affect your experience with friends, and yep, heat also comes along. Obviously, it is a gaming laptop, so I could not ask more besides a smooth run for all of my games. I am really satisfied with this choice.

I am interested in the Acer Predator Triton 500 PT515-52-73L3 Gaming Laptop for one primary reason - to drive (at a framerate greater than 30FPS) an LG 55 HDR display at 3840 × 2160 with the graphics detail cranked up to at least High End within the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. I also need to plug the flight peripherals plugged directly into the laptop. Can this laptop handle it?

A few months after purchase the laptop wont charge or boot up.
