My son's birthday

I got this for my son's 16th birthday. He's into gaming, both playing and designing. I didn't have thousands to spend on a gaming laptop, but I was able to afford this one. The best part is, it's number one in every metric online when compared to other lower priced gaming laptops. It's said to be the best one you can get off you're on a budget. And they weren't wrong. It has everything he needs/wanted. The graphics are perfect for all his games, and it doesn't lag/glitch/load slow for anything he's played so far. So everything he's done has been smooth and crisp. It has an SSD drive so load times are milliseconds, the only thing I'd that there's only 8 gbs of ram, but there is a slot and we plan on doubling it, so no actual problem. It has windows 11, which I'm sure is good for something, and it has met and exceeded everything he's needed or wanted from it. This is a great buy, at a reasonable price, especially if you want a real gaming laptop. If you're looking at another one, I'm telling you, you'll regret not getting this one. Truly the best one in it's price range.

Great price for what you get......easy to add some upgrades too

This is an amazing laptop for what you pay. The RTX 3050 is pretty dang capable and the 12th gen I5 processor is better than the 11th gen I7. There is a caveat that come with the price. First, it only comes with 1 stick of 8 gig RAM. This is pretty much the bare minimum that you can get away with for windows 11. Windows ran and I could even play a few games, but performance is throttled because the memory will be maxed out. There's an extra DIMM to add memory. I would recommend that you buy at least one 8 gig stick of Crucial (this brand is approved to work with Acer) memory (DDR4 3200MHz CL22) and add it to the empty DIMM. It should be pretty cheap. I bought 2 sticks of 16 gig (32 total) for $70 and it's running quick and smooth. Accessing the motherboard to replace the memory was probably one of the easiest laptops I have ever done. I'm also going to replace the M.2 drive with a Crucial T500 1Tb drive. The one it comes with is 500 gigs and the one I'm buying has a faster read/write speed but the drive it comes with is capable. Also, there's 2 M.2 slots to use.

Okay for a starter gaming laptop

Purchased for my son. After two months, the battery swelled and required replacement. This was an easy and relatively inexpensive repair, but shouldn't have been necessary. Replacement battery is still working very well. The machine I purchased came with only 8gb of RAM. That's simply not enough. The machine is only expandable to 32gb.... so we pulled the installed 8gb chip and then installed two 16gb chips to max the machine out. That upgrade helped out quite a bit. The Video card only has 4gb of VRAM which really isn't enough for some of the newer games available, but it is reasonable enough for decent game play. You'll probably have to tone down the video settings for some games though to avoid lag. The machine also only came with a half-terabyte SSD drive. That also isn't enough. Machine's storage is expandable though. Our plan is to utilize the 2nd PCIe Gen 4 slot by installing at least a 2TB drive. In summary... Good economic starter gaming computer. If my son gets into more intense games, we will probably look at something a lot more powerful for the next option.

Review after 2 weeks

at $950 I had to take the chance on this laptop despite some of the reviews being bad. If you're considering this laptop my guess is you're like me in that you dont want to build a pc yourself for whatever reason. I would say this was a fair purchase but if you can wait, i'd say save up a bit more and get a pc built for yourself at microcenter or something. I have played many games and all of them can be played on at least medium settings with no lag. That would include cyberpunk 2077 to give you an idea. I really only have one problem with the laptop and it makes it a bad long term investment. From fully charged, i can only game for maybe 50 minutes. Cant even reach an hour. If that sounds unpleasant to you then pass on this. Otherwise it serves its purpose for me in playing all the games I couldn't on my previous laptop. Months later and I am still pleased with the laptop. It acts a bit different from when I got it. Before I would only play games without it being plugged in and so I could only play for an hour before I turned it off to charge. In that state I could play most high end games on medium settings with no lag. That is no longer the case. Now I lag on the lowest settings on these games and even games I feel should not lag at all. But this is only while unplugged. While it is charging I can play any game I want on high settings and on some older games the highest settings. I play cyberpunk 2077 on high but that's cause I don't care to push the limits. This laptop can run anything care free while plugged but I just here to play in that state. I looked online and apparently that's normal for gaming laptops, they utilize all their strength when plugged and it's no problem playing in that state. But I'd hate for the battery to die sooner by doing that so I play a game called nioh while unplugged since it can handle it. And I play assassin's Creed origins on the highest settings while plugged and charging up. I try not to play for long past the point it's fully charged. So this is my experience, I say it was money well spent.

This is a great gamer for cheap!

For the price this laptop is a great game pc. You can get a larger screen, faster chipsets and a bigger HD but for under $700 this thing rocks! I can’t load all my games at once on its 500GB drive but I don’t have to. Especially in the age of Steam. For the price and with beautiful graphics and only occasional restarts (Crysis) I am very happy.

Muy buen equipo

excelente laptop, yo lo compre por 23k, y por ese precio es la mejor de su categoría sin duda, aunque es pesada, cumple con su función que es de tener fuerza bruta y llevarlo a todas partes, el único detalle es el sonido de las bocinas, que la verdad son decentes, pero no son muy buenas, y la otra queja es que las marcas de las manos se quedan en la carcasa de la laptop con bastante facilidad.

Gran equipo para gaming y office!

A unos meses de la compra, el equipo funciona excelente, las prestaciones técnicas son muy buenas y cumple ampliamente con las expectativas de servicio para lo que se compró.

Una laptop increible

Llevo ya usando esta laptop alrededor de 8 meses, me encanto, desde el día que la adquirí eso si le instale un disco nvme de 2tb porque ten por seguro que los 512 de espacio que trae no van a ser suficientes para gaming, además le cambie coloque dos memorias RAM de 16gb (32gb en total) y va rejoya. Te recomiendo que adquieras la laptop siempre y cuanto este en oferta (por debajo de los 15-14 mil pesos) y busques la forma de añadir mas espacio y mas RAM porque lo que trae por default no será suficiente si quieres darle un uso extremo de gaming o renderizado (tareas de alto rendimiento). La laptop en si por default es buena, no sufri tirones, el sistema me funciono bien y si lo que planeas es usarla por default te ira bien.
