Pros

Fan isn’t that loud but it could be because i alway have on my headphones. One thing i did find is that because it comes with windows 11, which has some new ways of doing things if playing a game, the cpu can get really hot at times.

The i7 octa-core processor runs everything unbelievably smoothly. This laptop packs a punch and can run almost anything with high fps on high to ultra settings. The specs on this bad boy are excellent and fitted my requirements.



Cons

If i want to game then i have to manually change it to performance for it to shoot up to 4. Sine the video is integrated, there is no replacing the video card, so now its a paperweight.

It has weird design in the bottom case with very sticky parts on the hinge and side. It randomly freezes also, requiring force shutdown. The charging jack is faulty and will eventually stop taking a charge, rendering your machine a brick.

Great machine with a fatal flaw. Husband's is a generic pos that costs $35 to buy separately. Sending laptop back for a refund because i'm done dealing with acer.

Price


A very great laptop for the price!


Me and my husband game a lot so this worked perfect for us and we can take it anywhere, price was definitely worth it.


If you can get this sub-$1000, it's an absolute steal.


Spend nearly double or more and sure- it’s not a slim or premium, but it’s not priced that way either.

Competitiveness


It is the best brand out of all laptops!


I also bought an xbox controller and downloaded some games on the store, like forza horizon 5, and it runs perfectly at the sam...  Read More


This is borderline unacceptable, since acer makes a big point about “cooling perfected”, liquid metal, and 5th generation all-m...  Read More


Finally, i want to say that acer was never a brand on my shopping list.
