So, what are everyone's thoughts on this one? 4080? Check. QHD 500 nit screen? Check. Good processor? Check. 32 GM memory? Check. Price seems decent/good. Downsides of this computer?

Thanks!!!

No downsides.

Only thing to consider is that this same laptop (with only 16GB ram) has been on sale for $1600 a few times already.

I think it's really hard to find this spec at this price point.
I'm especially impressed that it offers 32GB of RAM when all other companies offer 16GB at this price. And a 4080 graphics card.

My only concern is that I've never used an Acer product before, and I'm curious to see how it builds compared to Dell or other companies. If it's good, I'll probably buy it.

I can't speak on this specific laptop but I had a Acer Predator 17 laptop (G9) like 5-6 years ago and that was a terrible laptop. Amazing speakers (Still some of the best I've ever heard), but BSODs all the time and I spent so much time trying to figure it out. Also back than Acer NEVER updated the Drivers and the BIOS so it was really hard to troubleshoot what was wrong (The Windows Logs didn't help much) and it was a guess every time trying to figure out what was causing it. Hopefully that's not the case anymore.

Great deal. Would buy if I hadn't just bought a computer 2 months ago. Instantly have buyers regret now.

Heat and battery life, as with all gaming laptops. Just get a desktop if you need specs like this.

They've got a Lenovo with close to the same specs for under $1500.

14th Gen gaming laptop CPUs are literally 13th gen gaming laptop CPUs that have been slightly overclocked. Slightly higher clock speed, slightly higher power usage. No new features, no new fab node.

Intel is phoning it in for 14th gen, you may as well get the cheaper 13th gen laptops.

B&H is a highly reputable company in the photography world. I don't see why buying a computer from them is an issue.

...which is nice and all but not really relevant. You had a one-off experience with one item and the issue was shipping related. Yes, that happens to every company.
