good value

UPDATE on my original review:

Cuando me llegó la laptop me sentí emocionado, pero cuando la conecté a su cargador (sin prenderla) sentí como se llenó de estática o corriente, haciendo que todo el equipo vibrara incluso apagada, creí que era normal en la primera carga hasta el 100%. Después de un día siguió igual y más notoria la vibración y estática en todas partes del ordenador mientras estaba apagada con el cargador. Pedí un reemplazo a los dos días. Aquí estoy esperando a que envíen uno sin ese complejo.

The only thing to note about my experience is that the battery failed about 6 weeks in, I shipped for repair, they slapped another battery in, and that one failed after 2 weeks. If it’s been a while since I updated, then it stopped eating batteries.

Bought this Acer Predator after a lot of research. Found good features in this price range. But after using for 8 months, the product poor quality started to uncover. Battery stopped charging all together. Have to keep power cord inserted all the time to use it, which is of course not feasible.

Excellent

Opened my new laptop and booted it up. The screen was solid white and a large crack in the screen. Very upset as this was my son’s graduation gift —now needing to return it back.

Well for starters this device is great , well except for thermal performence . When im gaming this laptop run over 90c . So at this level of heat it is very uncomfortable (painful) to touch the upper part of the laptop . And mostly the cpu is the one gives you most troubles with heat. So only solution so far i found was to use throttlestop software to turn off turbo boost of the cpu and then the laptop runs even the hardcore games at around 70c. But im pretty bummed about that because as you can see one of the most famous marketing point about this laptop is its so called 4th gen aero blade fans . And even when i turn on the max fan mode it doesnt reduce much heat when gaming (or heavy work). Mostly you can expect is one or two degrees of temperature difference.

I’m just going to be real with everyone. I purchased this laptop after careful consideration. It seemed like the best bang for my buck. I had the laptop for two weeks. I was running Destiny 2 on max settings. The last night I was using the laptop I was running the system with its preset turbo feature and the system suddenly lost power. I could not restore power. I opened up the under panel and I could smell a burned motherboard. Now I have to send the laptop to acer for repairs. I spent nearly $1700 for this laptop after taxes and shipping. The laptop shouldn’t have this problem while operating under preset settings under normal environmental conditions. I highly suggest buyers choose a more reliable system. I regret buying this laptop.

Absolutely amazing laptop. Has been running rdr2 for me on ultra settings flawlessly would definitely recommend. Would like more options for the rgb keyboard but thats not too big of a deal. Worked great for the first almost week now battery wont take a charge will only work if plugged in. Battery says its at 100% but when i unplug it it shuts off and wont power on until i plug it in
