Really nice laptop, I had one for about a week. It is a bit heavy, the TouchPad is off center and not the best, and no touchscreen. Very fast processor/graphics for the price. If you want to replace a desktop and have portability you can't go wrong with this... you literally can't build a desktop with the same performance for the same price
I have the i5 with 1050 ti version and now the screen will not turn on and the keyboard stays red after bootup. I think its the mobo or gpu but anyone else have any clue? Googled it but its all over place.

From my experience, Acer products have always had quality issues in the past. Haven't purchased one in nearly 10 years. What you have sounds like a motherboard issue, may have been from overheating? What I do to maintain my laptops is vacuum the vents every couple months and apply new thermal paste every year or two depending on the usage (more often with gaming applications). Have you tried connecting your laptop to a monitor?

I suggest try the simplest one first. Check if it's the monitor by plugging a known good monitor. If it's the same, you're gonna need to open up your laptop then unplug the cable from the gpu.

Yep same thing. Monitor has nothing.
In rare times when it decided to boot up everything works for like 5 mins then everything freezes.

So just unplug the 1050 ti and use intel's integrated gpu?
I have been waiting for this since it was $600. Regret not pulling trigger then but got it now. Cheaper with some trade offs but overall worth it in my opinion. I can't tell you how many Ryzen laptops I've seen but they all generally have a higher price point and soldered ram.

90 day warranty is less than ideal though.

I bet a ton of resellers bought it.

I can't see how. It's only 669 new from Best buy. Is $130 below retail really enough room to be worth the trouble?
