First of all, this laptop is a beast with i7 8th Gen and GTX 1060 (not Max-Q). it handled new games (2018) flawlessly in High/Ultra settings. The biggest problem like others have been experiencing is heating issue. Even with the cooling pad (Slopehill, 5 fans), it still produced around low 80s Celsius during game sessions. Therefore, FPS (frame per second) are dropping like crazy. It was making me feel like the CPU and GPU were giving up. I was hyped up when I got this but then was disappointed. It was a big let down when performance dropping because of heating problem. Other than that, 15.6" IPS 144hz is awesome. This laptop not too bulky for travel at all. With lowest contrast on balanced power, it gave me 5 hours of watching Netflix without any issue. I dont know how that happens when its battery is supposed to last 3-4 hours max. This is a great build for the price at this moment. It makes sense when Acer saved $$$ on material quality along with high end hardware that come with this laptop. I would recommend this laptop for stationary use with cooling pad and vacuum air exhaust installed all the time to combat the heating problem to avoid performance drop. It is a good buy for the money right now but I had to return it due to the issues above.
