If you want a powerful laptop for gaming and don't care about any bells and whistle.
This is a great price:
- Fantastc cpu/gpu combo
- screen better than on the Lenovo legion
- Good I/O

The issues:
- laughable speakers
- get hot but still Within specs
- noise levels in performance and turbo mode
- weak WiFi card
- plastic build with metal accents
- flex on the screen , laptop itself is sturdy

You will most likely need a laptop cooler. If all of these manageable limitations are ok for you then the price is the best so far for the specs.
Why? it's a fantastic deals even though i personally don't like this laptop. The price is amazing
Only 16g RAM?????

You'd probably be waiting for the next 4-6 months at least.

This laptop is always on sale and no one ever seems to want it.

Reasons:

1. Not well known (Acer) for gaming laptops

2. Cheap plastic build. Ugly.

3. Poor speakers

4. Average display

5. 16GB RAM, not 32GB

6. Large for it's size. Not as bad as alienware though.


This makes a great desktop if you have external monitor and speakers. Performance and cooling is more than adequate. Unfortunately it lacks a lot of pizzazz.

The display even though just ips is actually good. Good coverage of srgb and DCI/p3 and fast refresh rate

I agree with the rest. I had this laptop and retuned it

What a load of bull. Acer are one of the most reputable computer manufacturers. The consensus is they're currently second best after Lenovo both in general and in the gaming laptop space.
