I own this, it's heavy, it' runs wicked hot and it failed within the first month. I had to wait weeks for a repair. Save your money and buy a better product

Was this any cheaper on BF? Or was it around the same price? How does this compare to Lenovo legion with similar specs?

Is this any better than the old Walmart Asus 17.3" deal a few months back? Same specs I think.

This has 500gb more than the Walmart one and better screen. Worth the extra $50

Should I get this or wait for February/March deals in hopes something better is on sale?

I bought a refurbished model with the 6800/3060 setup and the battery lasts about 40 minutes while gaming🤣 when recharging the power brick gets up to 140 degrees F. I feel like I'm playing with fire.

1080P and 3060 are a little disappointing for a desktop replacement.

I been reading very mixed reviews on these acer nitro laptops. On best buy reviews, they seem to be very good but in general it is best to avoid it because of the build?


So lenovo legion is clearly better than any acer nitro laptop?


How much battery can you get out of it? If it is ryzen, wouldn't it get more battery?

Microsoft gave very bad guidance for pc sales, I'd bet we see some good discounts in the next 3-6 months.
