Really decent gaming laptop

I bought this about 11 months ago and I haven't had any issues with it yet, I am running games like Diablo 2,3,and 4, plus I am running all of the World of Warcraft game versions at maximum settings through it, and I haven't had any lagging issues whatsoever, however I would recommend purchasing a cooling fan dock, it does run a little bit warm, like I said, NO issues

Job Well Done

Had some issues with Amazon Pay and ended up with two of these items at my doorstep. A little rough getting it sorted out with customer service (poor form Gerardo) but CSR manager sorted it out like a pro. Ultimately, the computer is so great, I'm keeping both and gifting the other to another deserving gamer. Graphics driver needed update right out if the box but the process was about as easy as a newbie could hope for. Thanks again to the Acer manager behind the curtain. You made a customer for life and I'll definitely be looking to you guys for future upgrades.

At first I was a little worried because of the price point , but it's worth every dollar. Extremely fast great graphics easy to use and I don't know nothing about computers but this is great to play video games on.

Screen wouldn't turn on

I unpacked and the co.puter turned on but the screen stayed black. Called support and could barely understand them. They said to ship it back and they would refund me in a week or 2

Perfect for console streaming

I stream via console and capture card and this laptop works great for it. If you're looking for a laptop to do the same, and has the extra juice to do more on top of that, this is the one for you

Wonderful laptop that can run just about anything, the battery isn't the greatest but if you keep it plugged in it's amazing.

Battery life could be an issue

I am using this to play sims 3 and 4 on and it runs them beautifully, even with an unholy amount of mods and CC. I will say they batter life is pretty terrible, so keep that in mind if you are traveling, and it does still get very warm while playing(even with fans on high). I expected both of those things, so it's not a big deal for me and it's still a great machine!

Great laptop only 2 minor flaws

I love this laptop. The audio is a little weak so I installed FxSound which did boost the sound some. That was my only negative about the sound otherwise it is very clear. Other then the battery life which I knew about this laptop is great.

excellent machine watch battery when traveling

excellent value for the money. only qualm is that the battery life could be longer, so a buyer should be skilled at managing their access to outlets during extended travel.
