I mean the whole reason why there's so many of these re-certified is probably this model has bad thermals and people are doing warranty calls (replacement perhaps). So Acer end up with a whole warehouse of overheated under-warranty laptops so Acer is reapplying the thermal paste, swapping out the system boards+cpu and selling it back for cheap on Ebay.

I read the terms and conditions for the coupon. Looks to be an invite only for some users, I've missed out on these before. I got selected for this one this time. I already have a similar model from a year prior (Triton 500se i7 11800H/RTX3060). I will say the laptop has performed well for the time I've had it. This one isn't enough faster to justify buying and selling my current one.
Just got mine in and it looks brand new. No marks or scratches anywhere. Comes in a generic brown box with no markings. No manual or anything but it does come with a note that says free returns for 30 days no matter what the issue is or if you just don't like it. Really nice padding for it as well.

With fans on turbo it was loud but that's to be expected. Normal browsing and YouTube was quiet. I didn't do any stress tests. Don't have time right now.
Okay, and? What exactly was the point of this?
These are two different models. The display on this is superior, battery is bigger and it weighs less. Those aren't considered "same" specs.
Secondly, your post is 7 months old not over a year but that doesn't matter coz they aren't the same models nor is that one available.
Screw other people posting sh*t. I've been looking for a new laptop for a few weeks and I truly appreciate your time and posts.
I've been using an LG Gram I found here for a few years and it's been amazing. I'm looking for something with a big screen as light as it that is mega fast... and maybe play some Fortnite xD
Ignore the haters and just fyi, appreciate you boss!
I had my brother buy the Helios 300 ~6 months back for ~$920 with similar / almost same base specs. It's been running flawless, and was practically brand new when arrived. Only had to update BIOS + Drivers, etc to fix some power profile issues causing throttling on the CPU.
This deal is better with slimmer design, +0.5" screen size...not sure about the thermals tho.
4060 is equal to the 3070 Ti? Lmao.
Even 4070 isn't equal to a full powered 3070 Ti.
They don't understand TDP. After 110w the 3070ti leaves the 4060 in the dust. Its more comparable to a full power 4070 but why bother arguing, I guess.
Bought one of these last time with a coupon they had and been a great machine for CoD, FN, and RL. I got it for 799. It's does get hot but no issues over heating or anything running hard for 6 hour sessions. Upped the memory to 64gb and added a 2nd SSD and would buy again!

Any help locating this coupon? That would move this from a maybe to a probably.
Nope. Maybe they were asking if anyone knew about one? I still grabbed it as I think this is still one of the better deals posted in a while.
