I bought this laptop with the intention of using it for school and for some light gaming. I wanted something thin, small, light, with good battery life. I didnt expect to pay such a low price for an item matching my requirements. This is a great laptop but its got things that one should know about before buying.

The first one I received had NO sound out of the box, so it was exchanged for the next one. This one lasted a few weeks before it refused to turn on. While it worked it was a phenomenal laptop, although it ran hot enough to almost cook eggs. My IT friend followed all recommended procedures to revive this laptop, to no avail. The first time it refused to power on, he pressed the reset button underneath for the battery, which worked. That was the last time this laptop ran. When I went through the return process, I chose the option to have a replacement sent, but apparently that option is no longer valid. Time to choose another brand for the combination of CPU and Video.

This machine was bought for my son to take to college. Its working out great so far.

Im on my third laptop and each time the wifi card disappears after 2-3 months. This time Im outside the return period so Im unable to exchange with Amazon and will have to deal directly with Acer. Dont buy this.

The fastest laptop Ive ever encountered

Its good for competitive gaming such as valorant or overwatch if connected to an external monitor. I Can get a solid 120 fps.

The laptop is nice. It works well. I do run quite a few things at the same time media, emails and regular web surfing and it holds up.

I bought this computer to use in college, I use some kinda heavy software like sketchup, autocad, photoshop and illustrator. And for these, the computer seems to be doing very well. I really like de design, cause products with similar specs are usually aimed for gamers and the style is usually very agressive an rough. I like that this one is extremely elegant. The sound has some issues, as I have read across other reviews, but I do not need this aspect to be perfect anyway.

Its a great laptop for its price. There were issues with the stock Mediatek WiFi adapter. I replaced it with an Intel AX200 adapter and the issues are gone. Build quality is acceptable for its price and specs. Its a great laptop overall. Delivery is really fast, I got it to my hands within a week even if I live outside us. Also, I didnt have to deal with customs. My order was shipped by Amazon via UPS.
