Not sure whether the thermal paste is badly applied, or this laptop just sucks. But it has serious issues with overheating. I was consistently hitting temps of 90C+ and hit spikes of 98C quite a few times. The laptop shut down twice because it maxed at 100C. This is happening with the fan on MAX and the GPU set to NORMAL, not even overclocking. However, based on reading other reviews, I believe this issue is not consistent with this item, it is a manufacturing flaw, not a design problem. This will happen to you SOMETIMES if you buy this laptop. This is not a risk Im willing to take, Im returning it for a different laptop which will not have cooling issues. This laptop, other than its (serious) cooling issues, was a great laptop and ran games well (for the first hour or so). *****EDIT: I forgot to add, the left control key worked about half the time, since day 1 of buying the laptop. I had to press it really hard to get it to work right. ******

I wanted to like this laptop. However, the heating issues are irredeemable and I’m returning the laptop. Pros - excellent screen, color is rich and refresh rate is silky smooth - fast CPU and GPU - overall build quality feels solid - good keyboard Cons - heating issues - This pretty much ruins the experience. Extensive throttling and stuttering due to temps of 100 *C routinely being reached within 5 min of beginning a gaming session. The aluminum portion between the top of the keyboard and the bottom of the panel becomes unbearable hot to the point that you can’t even touch it without burning your finger.

We recently purchased this laptop for my son. He needed it immediately because he was going away for college. When we received the laptop, it did not power-up. We immediately contacted Acer for technical support . Acer tech team recommended to send it back for repair. Its been 3 weeks and we still have not received the repaired laptop.. In the mean time, my son left for college without his needed laptop. THIS IS SOO FRUSTRATING.. UGH!! If anybody from the ACER team reading this review.. PLEASE HELP!!

Install Flash Player Pros: 144hz display Price Cons: Major overhearing issues This is probably the worst experience Ive ever had with a vendor built computer. I purchased my original unit back in June 2018 and purchased it mainly to take to LANs to avoid lugging my desktop around. Fist time actually using it to game was slightly over a month after purchase (too late for amazons no questions return policy) and boy was it horrible. Games tested where CSGO (low settings) Quake Champions (also low settings) Civ V (medium settings) all games after about 20 minuets of play would show signs of stuttering before frame rates would tank down to 20 fps or lower. Sent the original unit in for repairs and they swapped out the motherboard and sent it back to me for testing, same issues. 2nd round of sending it in they replaced the heatsink and that also did not stop the overheating. 3rd round they reinstalled windows (I told them numerous times I had already done this, and was also damaged in shipping and they tried to make me pay for the damages) didnt help. They took that unit back and replaced it with a new unit that should work "better than the last". So the second unit has the same problems as the first if not worse. Still fighting the battle of trying to get a refund from Acer. The most recent news is I sent a tier 3 representative a video of the issue and he said he would review the video with his engineers. I havent heard a thing back since. Ill update this review with more info if they ever get back to me. Attached is a video of the issue (disregard my lack of quake skills) Id steer clear of this laptop unless like others have said, you want to play the laptop lottery. Edit: STILL have a support ticket open. They tried to give me a "different model", ended up being the same PC with an added 1 tb drive and no 144hz panel . (Adding a spinning drive heat of its own will surely help with thermals). At this point they are trying to force feed me replacements that dont match the specs of the original laptop. Trying for a refund now, Ive wasted enough time is the past six months trying to get a working machine.

Based on several reviews I saw, I was hesitant to buy this laptop. I still decided to give this laptop a chance. Big mistake! After a week of using the laptop, the wireless driver randomly stopped working for no reason. Reinstalled the drivers, reinstalled windows, and still wireless drivers wouldnt work. I had no access to a wired connection for days, so eventually plugged it and updates fixed the issue. However, I returned the laptop to avoid such issue happening again. So I got a replacement and guess what? A week after using the replacement laptop, blue screen of death! Error message saying FAULTY_HARDWARE_CORRUPTED_PAGE. Unacceptable that two brand new Acer laptops have issues. The pictures speak for themselves. Though it restarted and seemed to work fine, I was not going to risk having faulty hardware. Acer customer service wanted to send it for repair, which would take 2-3 weeks to receive back. I decided not to deal with them and returned everything back to Amazon. Thankfully, everything happened within the return period and Amazons great customer service accepted with no issues. Instead, I bought the HP Omen 15 and couldnt be happier! Im sure Acer makes some good laptops, but this specific product has lots of issues! If you do end up getting this laptop with no issues, consider yourself lucky. It has great specs for the price. Start up is blazing fast. Upgrading hard drive and RAM is super easy. Screen is great except for that massive screen bleed. Oh and good luck dealing with the terrible thermals and loud fans. Had to reduce the processor power management (advanced settings on Edit Power Plan setting) by like 30-40% to achieve decent thermals. The good thing is Predator Sense software allows full control of fan speed. I apologize for the lengthy review but it had to be said. I suggest to save your money and invest in a better laptop if possible.

I’ll preface this review with saying that I am returning the first one of these laptops that I purchased. What does that mean? The laptop isnt perfect! Id give it a 3.5 as of now. The Bad! Ok, so what went wrong? First laptop the “B” key is sticking. Every 5 or 8 taps and it sticks down. Not happy about that on a $1300 laptop, but moving past that. Overheating. Well, everyone has read the reviews. Yes this laptop can run hot. Too hot to the touch in certain areas. This is the main reason for my first return. Also saw frame drops where every 15-30 minutes things would slow down a bit. Acer really needs to address this as its really the only weak point. Build quality could be a little better. I would prefer a more robust design. At the very least less plastic and more aluminum or something. Maybe Acer could offer a Heavy Duty line that is more durable and offers better cooling. Maybe im one of the few who wouldnt mind a heavier, thicker laptop as long as it performed well and was built like a tank. Battery life sucks. Get over it, its a gaming laptop, but its bad. I was watching Netflix with the brightness turned all the way down, powering my little cool pad and speakers and I had about 2-2.5 hours of battery life. Maybe 3. Memory is something youll want to upgrade. After installing GTA 5 and a few small games Ive run out of room. Not a big deal though when you take into account that this is simply an area where Acer saved money and passed the savings to the consumer in final price. The Good Picture quality is brilliant. I am very happy and impressed with the picture. Note that I am not very experienced with HD picture, but this is the best computer picture Ive ever seen. Speed. This laptop is fast, startup in 7-8 seconds, surfing the web, downloads, streaming videos, gaming, its remarkable. Im blown away Sound, its a laptop, I wont even comment, get some external speakers. Quality. Pretty happy with the overall quality. The back lit keyboard is very nice, the keys feel great. Touch pad feels high quality. Screens flexes a good it though, and the laptop doesnt feel indestructible but it ought to hold up for daily use. Gaming is great on here. I play GTA 5 with mods, high graphics, and it just runs great. Only exception being the overheating and every 15-30 min frame drops. Hopefully the Second model doesnt have any issues, will update if it does. Second model has issues! Seeing some very noticeable backlight bleed around the bottom border of the screen. In addition to that I see two stuck or dead pixels in the middle of the screen. The quality control on these laptops is really terrible. Ive given up.

Is been a week that am trying to solve it out, about the promotion code for black ops 4 without anyone takes the responsibility. Amazon marketing was always pointing that the manufacturer has the responsibility and from the other side, Acer pointing that Amazon Marketing is managing the promo code. Acer send me the following email that; "Amazon is bundling a free game code for Call of Duty 4 with selected Amazon SKUs. This offer is provided and fulfilled by Amazon and is not exclusive to Acer brand computers. Customers who have met the requirements for the offer will receive an email from Amazon within 7 to 10 business days from the purchase with instructions on how to claim the offer. Customers who claim they did not receive the code must contact Amazon support for assistance with this promotion." and Amazon still not taking any responsibility at all. That was my worst customer experience ever.
