Be extra aware of the hinges!
Generally, keep an extra eye out for the hinges on Acer laptops. I hear they’re not the best in the market.

Lieferung war super. Gerät ist für die nächsten Jahre 1. Liga reif.Leicht zu reinigen und super Leistung.Vielleicht beim Zocken zu laut, aber irgendwie muss die heiße Luft vom Inneren ja raus und kalte Luft rein. Stört nicht wenn man es ignoriert, oder Kopfhörer benutzt.

I spent a long time searching the Internet for a good gaming laptop, and after much delegation I decided on this; I made the right choice! I’ve tried to simply the computer jargon in the review for those who aren’t all knowing about computers.The Good -GPU:Graphics card is RTX ready, and can easily handle games like Cyberpunk 2077 (which I highly recommend) on the highest settings. FPS (how smooth a game runs) can dip when the screen gets too busy, so I knocked it down everything to High and had a more consistent experience.Gaming:Runs every modern game in my Steam and GOG library, including the Mass Effect Legendary Edition the Master Chief Collection and Sunset OverdriveSSD:512GB SSD is as listed, SSD is superior to hard drives as it is noticeably faster to read/write to memory; meaning faster loading and downloading times. 512GB is a good amount, but the option to upgrade and add another is there, should you be inclined.SCREEN:Screen is quality with 144Hz refresh rate and 3ms delay, no complaints there.(Refresh Rate means how fast the screen updates within a time period, the higher the better; although realistically you won’t need more than 144Hz)OVERCLOCKING:Comes with a handy button to overclock (run it faster than intended) your CPU should you need a boost to processing power. I don’t use the feature, but it may help you reach a more consistent 60-120FPS on more intensive games, on high settings.DESIGN:The laptop looks great, and the RGB settings can be customised through the in-house software. Has a good weight, and the keyboard is decent; add your own keyboard if you want the click-clack of mechanical keys, these are nice and quiet.SOFTWARE:Comes with Windows 10, and a free ‘upgrade’ to a worse OS Win 11. I wouldn’t recommend doing that, but you can do your own research on the matter, it might be better for you.The Bad -Just to note: most of these issues are apparent throughout most gaming laptops not just this one, but it is important you’re aware nonetheless.BATTERY:Obviously, when you put a fat CPU and GPU in a laptop custom tuned to play games, you’re going to make sacrifices somewhere; the battery is the first to bite this bullet.Battery life can be extended through the settings by a small margin, but ultimately you’re looking at 1-2Hrs idle, easily 1Hr or less when gaming. Just don’t use it when it’s not on charge.Some people have noted that the battery flat out dies when not plugged in, not happened to me but it is something to consider.OVERHEATING:Look, I’ll be real with you, the biggest thing that’s going to kill your laptop early is the overheating. You can put the most powerful CPU and GPU, along with the most expensive motherboard together and it won’t mean shit if you don’t have a good cooling system because otherwise you could fry and egg on that CPULaptops suffer the most from this, just not enough space to put in good cooling systems when the main pull of a laptop is how portable it is; classic catch-22.The laptop is marketed with the overclocking feature a mere button press away, but lacks any warning on the damage it can do. Overclocking can give you a boost to processing power, at the cost of cooking your balls should you be utilising the ‘lap’ part of the laptop. This, more importantly, can also eventually damage your hardware should you use it often. I can’t tell you what to do, just do your own research and decide if the gains outweigh the costs, I believe this isn’t needed, but that might not apply to you.I counter this by using a cooling pad for the laptop, which drops the temp a good 3-5°, not much in the grand scheme but does help when I use this on my lap.PRICE:This is just something to be aware of, but this is pretty expensive to some people like myself, that is just the cost of a gaming rig. You’re getting a great GPU for the price with a great product, but if you’re planning on just using it like a regular laptop there are better, more affordable options. Just be realistic with your intentions.The Ugly-NOISE:I have one gripe with this product and it is probably the only thing I dislike about it; the noise. Again, this is something that all gaming laptops suffer from.This thing sounds like a Space X launch right in your living room, and god forbid you max out the fans when overclocking because this thing will actually take off.Also, the speakers are quite possibly the worst I have ever heard. Sounds like you’re eavesdropping on a conversation in a language you don’t understand, in a different country through a tin can and wire set-up.Thankfully these can both be bypassed by having a decent headset, which is basically required for gaming anyway, but you’re going to have to outsource a speaker if that’s what you need. The headset works great, but that doesn’t stop other people from hearing it, so I imagine this could easily spark a domestic situation in a busy household.Roll the credits-Good Shit, not gonna lie, if this is within your budget and the downsides don’t bother you then buy this thing, I’ve got no regrets with this purchase and have recommended it to friends.
