The pixel count of 5120x1440 is approximately 7,372,800 pixels, which is slightly less than 4K (3840x2160) with 8,294,400 pixels.
Reviews and benchmarks for the RTX 4080 at 4K resolution can provide a good reference. For example, at 4K, the average frame rate for the RTX 4080 is around 111 FPS, while the RTX 4090 performs at 144 FPS.
Considering your 240Hz monitor, the RTX 4090 would be the obvious choice for smoother performance, especially if you prefer higher settings. However, the RTX 4080 can still handle the resolution effectively, especially if you're willing to adjust settings. You probably just won't be able to max it out to it's full capacity but still should be able to enjoy it

Acer is right there with asus or Lenovo for decent cooling solutions imho.

Also the Acer site says the display is IPS. No mention of mini-LED display.

My laptop doesn't have as many so I added a usb hub to also add Ethernet . But, most usb hubs are not powered so all devices connected to the hub share the power of the one usb which can cause connectivity issues.
Thunderbolt can be used for adding a monitor, charging by usbc connection, maybe the fastest external storage connection, external GPU, or connecting an external laptop dock. External docks are nice for those that take their laptops away from their desk and want to keep all their devices connected to the dock. When returning, only connecting the usbc thunderbolt to your laptop is fast and super convenient. (Charges and connects all devices instantly)

My recent laptop has that port. So nice to know what it's for now.
