This could be used as a Xbox, AND a PS5, AND a gaming PC. Plus is extremely portable and compact (travel, dorm, barracks, etc) Not bad for $600...brand new. And being it is a Chromebook aka Linux machine can do anything a normal PC can do as well. In contrast my PS5 is horrible at email and spreadsheets and the last time I tried to take my Xbox to the airport the crazies at RDU complained when I disconnected a random TV in the terminal so I could play Call of Duty

And yes, this will function as a $600 'gaming' laptop as long as you understand what $600 buys combined with this CPU, screen, ram, and controller. But yes, if you can get a basic GTX 3050 laptop for less yet might not do the whole steaming thing as well nor will it likely have a comparable screen, backlit keyboard, and probably only 8GB of ram. Not to mention it will get a 1/4 of the battery life while still weighing 5+ pounds. You also won't need that 3050 for steaming if that is your goal. If steaming isn't your goal then no amount of complaining will change this SKU's configuration to suit your needs.
Bottom line it sounds like this machine was not built for you. Good luck with whatever route you decide to take.

Clearly you are barking up the wrong tree. No shame in admitting it but I cannot help you here. Once again, good luck in whatever you choose.
BTW, feel free to post a better (and comparable) vAlUe fOr mOnEy otherwise the dead horse would like to be left in peace
Bye bye

this was literally in the similar deals tab. this will outperform the chrome book in every metric except for boot time and battery life, but realistically, if someone is lugging around a 16" laptop and is a big enough nerd to be gaming on an RGB laptop in public, they are probably bringing a laptop charger with them. lmao
I own the 8GB version. I'm typing on it now. It's an outstanding device and it works GREAT with GeForce Now at the Ultimate tier. But $599? Insane. I could never see a gaming Chromebook worth that amount of money. Hell, I bought a 4050 based Acer for $60 more than that. $599 is just absolutely crazy.
As another poster said, go find the 8GB version on eBay for $299. That's the one I bought, refurbished from the Acer store (love those Acer refurbs).
It really is a great device. The screen is magnificent. Makes for a great run-of-the-mill laptop. You won't be disappointed (unless you paid $599)
