I wanted a light content creation laptop; Photoshop, Lightroom, etc. I usually go with Dell XPS Studio or equivalent but there getting quite expensive. So when this came up on lightning deal I jumped on it.

My favorite laptop. It is incredibly powerful and can handle anything. The battery life is pretty short though without the charger.

The Predator Triton 500 has got serious game. Featuring mad tech including top of the line processors, audio and video drivers, metal chassis, vortex air flow and etc., the Acer Predator Triton 500 is a wise investment for the serious gamer.

Would be better if it didnt randomly die while gaming. Kind of defeats the whole purpose. It IS PLUGGED IN and dying while gaming brand new. (Update jan 9 2023, laptops motherboard died completely on me randomly and they say it will cost 300$ or more for a fix even with warranty. Wish i couldve saved my money.

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.

This slim and dense laptop packs a six core CPU that can turbo up to 5ghz, a 2070 super, and all the LEDs to light up a carnival into a laptop with a great screen. The heft and performance mean business, though the loud startup sound and fireworks display on the keyboard betrays a bit more whimsy. It can fill both niches nicely, as can it be a portable desktop replacement. I say portable, but at a very dense 5lbs (feels much heavier) and with a 4 hour battery life, its not a typical laptop. Between the low base CPU speed and the various max Q tricks used by the GPU, it can and does make sacrifices to allow for this portability. Most evident is the 230watt power pack, which is ridiculous for a laptop, but the GPU alone could draw more on the desktop, but upgradability is another issue.

Great gaming laptop perfect for my son graphics are incredible! He loves loves loves this laptop

The Acer Predator Triton 500 is extremely fast. A lot of my gaming is Warframe which this handles beautifully, but to put this laptop through its paces I also ran Doom Eternal, Borderlands 3, and Quake Champions. Theyre as smooth as butter. Compared to other gaming laptops I appreciate the slim form factor and the weight. It seems like Acer really tried to keep this as compact as possible while keeping the 15.6 screen. I do have a few minor gripes. I wish the built-in management software had more configurable options for the keyboard backlight, but it does have lots of other things you can tweak that other management software like HPs currently doesnt like customize your boot-up image and fan speeds. The laptop also comes with a little bit of bloatware, but I always appreciate an 25gb boost to my Dropbox for another year. It says a lot that these are the only two things I can really complain about. This laptop is awesome. I love it, and I think you will too.

Unsurprisingly everything about this laptop is killer fast. It’s surprisingly light given its hardware. I would strongly advise keeping this laptop is an elevated position though this thing gets H O T! Laptop cooling just isn’t up for the task. I couldn’t imagine tying to use the “turbo boost” button the laptop comes with.

I got the i9-12900H / 3080TI version with the bag (in case the listing changes)
