I’m very well-versed with the computer industry and products there in, I have done extensive research trying to find the perfect laptop for my daughter at a great bargain. There’s always a phenomenal deal out there, although they are rare to come by and this is one of those. When I say I got this from my daughter, I don’t mean to downplay it at all because I would get it for myself, although I have a high-performance laptop already, which I also got a phenomenal bargain on. This laptops processor is incredible as is the graphics card. These two together really offer a very high-end laptop. This is a brand new laptop and for the price of these products, I’m just blown away because if you do your research, you’ll see that this is easily about 25% below market value for all the specs in this laptop. I would suggest only one thing as mandatory and that’s buying a micro USB memory stick because this has 512 GB. You can buy a 1TB cheap. I might, at some point increase the ram up to 32 GB for her, but that is not necessary at all as 16 GB that it comes with is perfect. But just because I’m saying that I’m gonna do these very minor add-ons does not mean you need to do anything to this laptop at all because it is 100% perfect as it is.You have to be very careful when buying laptops online because some are way overpriced and they mix the hardware up to where you might have a good processor but a real crappy graphics card or vice versa. This laptop is perfect. I give it a 10 out of 10 for its incredible bargain. If you want a great laptop that offers you some of the top tier hardware for a mid tier pricing and this is perfect for you I mean, who wouldn’t want that. I’m not sure how they can offer such phenomenal deals because the rest of the market would have this laptop easily between $1000 on average up to $1200 on the high side. Laptop is priced at $799 currently and it’s brand new not refurbished, which is just amazing.I searched for 2.5 months to find the perfect laptop and this was it.I will definitely edit this through time if anything pops up with issues or anything. We got it set up and she’s been using it for about four days now playing games online and streaming live while playing music so this thing handles large loads seamlessly.

Amazing runs pretty much every game smoothly. My girlfriend loves it and it’s very portable. The screen display is gorgeous and game graphics look GREAT. The battery life does drain a bit fast but that’s pretty much every laptop that gets used for gaming. She generally plays the sims but she has hundreds of mods and it runs great! I would recommend to anyone needing a top notch laptop.

So far, for price and time I have had it, runs well. Plays games like halo infinite smoothly even with our spotty internet. Streams well. I use it to game with my husband and my certifications. Has great speed and the casing is so nice and sleek. Slight weight. The battery is actually pretty good for a laptop. My Toshiba was about the same, depends on what you're doing to how long the battery lasts. My certification, it lasts for about 4 hrs or so, for gaming, about an hr. I have had laptops with better batteries and ones with worse. It does everything I need and more. Going to invest in portable storage.

What can I say? For the price, you're getting a machine that can play modern AAA games at medium/low settings with ~60fps (tested Horizon Zero Dawn so far, steady 60 at low settings). Can easily run older games at high settings/high frames. Absolute beast for emulation on the go, only outclassed by the likes of the steam deck and rog ally in terms of portability.The specs are decent for an entry level budget laptop. The 4050 is an entry level gpu (especially for a laptop gpu), and so is the i5, but don't let that dissuade you, this laptop is plenty powerful for the price. The perk of having a 40 series gpu of course is dlss 3.0 and frame gen. The main issue of course is the storage and ram. Both easy upgrades. The motherboard supports two nvme drives (one being gen 4 and the other gen 3) and two ram slots. The first thing I did was upgrade my storage and ram (1tb gen 3 ssd and 32 gbs of ram, an extra ~150) which is necessary if you plan on playing modern games.Overall, a great little entry level machine that you will not be disappointed with. Definitely try to get on sale.EDIT: GPU crapped out on me not even a couple months later after purchase. Was experiencing blue screens constantly until one day the laptop started to refuse to recognize the gpu. Upon further research, this is a very common issue with this series of laptops from Acer. The RMA process is a pain, and they offer no local dropoff outside of their repair center in Texas. Hit or miss if you'll get a working product or a detective one, buyers beware.EDIT 2: They would not repair my laptop because of "water damage" (common term by first party entities, those who do not support right to repair - easy to dismiss in their TOA and other agreements you supply as a consumer). If you google this laptop, you'll see most failures are the GPU, and the customer cannot get it RMA'd because of "water damage" or other failures. The fact is these are mainly mainboard issues as the quality and production on these PCBs are terrible. I was sent a picture of the copper heatsink with oxidization as my reason for no repair. The failure rate of vital parts in this product is not worth the price tag. If you want an actual gaming laptop, please spend the money for vetted higher brand product.Last edit: Get an HP victus on sale. Dropped this thing three times and am finishing up Kingdom Come deliverance 2 with close to 144 frames with a 4070 laptop GPU and an AMD ryzen 7 for ~ 900 on sale from bestbuy.
