  • Great gaming laptop that packs the punch of a $1000 laptop for under $800
Style: Old i5-7300 Obsolete
General Overall Review Before In Depth Review Pros: *Powerful graphics card at a cheap price *Decent processor will get everything you need done fast *Comes with a SSD over a standard HDd *1080p resolution to watch Full HD content *Backlit keyboard to operate in the darkness *Not too heavy *Has a nice exterior design *Computer distributes heat well and fans keep it cool *Can expand hard drive storage with HDD or SSD Cons: *Plastic material can make it feel cheap *Fans get loud when playing graphic intense games *Battery life is mediocre but if you use it as a gaming desktop alternative you'll keep the power plugged in *250GB storage (I won't say it's a con exactly because of the price and because its a SSD. But if it was a 250GB HDD then I would list it as a con) I paid $699 for this laptop. And for the price I paid I'm thoroughly impressed. This computer performs like that of a $800-$1000 computer. Has enough RAM to execute all your programs, 1080p screen, a decent i5 processor and a pretty powerful graphics card for the price. Everyone always worries about needing an i7 processor for gaming but in reality if your graphics card is insufficient having a powerful processor will not compensate for a mediocre graphics card. What people don't realize is an i5 is more than sufficient to game if you have a great graphics card. In comparison to my i7 Lenovo there's really not much difference in performance rather the difference lies in the graphics card. About 4 years ago I paid $1100 for my Lenovo Y50 which had a NVIDIA GTX 860M and an i7 processor. And because it broke I was looking around for a replacement. I was not really expecting much in regards to the graphics card especially because how cheap the laptop was. But surprisingly not only does it perform just as well as my previous laptop, it performs much better (new graphic card architecture and technology) at almost half the cost. At the time the 860m (the graphics card in my previous laptop the Lenovo Y50) was a mid range graphics card for laptops. But back then the laptop version of graphics card (m) was not on par with it's desktop counterpart and in most cases only performed about 40-70% of what it's counterpart could do. But now with the new architecture and technology the laptop counterpart performs at 75-90% of it's desktop counterpart. The NVIDIA GTX 1050TI although a mid range card performs so much better than mid range cards back in the day. On a side note, if you plan on ordering this laptop make sure that it's the 1050 TI version and not just the plain 1050. The TI version packs a bit more of a punch which does make a difference. Because some people have complained and rated the laptop poorly because they received a 1050 version and not the 1050TI. My only complaint is, the plastic material in which the chassis is made of vs the metal finish of my previous laptop. The plastic makes it feel cheap (well it is) but obviously it's more of an aesthetics issue than a performance one. Some people complained about the hard drive space being insufficient. To be honest if you're using this computer for anything but gaming the space will be more than sufficient. But if you plan on using it for gaming then the space will run out quickly, but for the price you're paying it's still a steal. Sure it's not a 1TB drive like a lot of standard laptops nowadays but because it's a SSD it will increase the overall speed and performance of your computer unlikes it's HDD counterpart. There is an extra hard drive slot so you can always expand the hard drive with a standard hdd if you're on a budget and need extra space or a 2.5 m sata II SSD if you want extra space with the continued faster performance. If you wish to add another hard drive you have to call Acer and request for an hard drive expansion kit, which they will provide to you free of charge (once you provide them with the laptop's information). Aside from that the only other con is it can be loud sometimes when playing graphic intense games but can be remedied by wearing head phones. The fans although loud does keep the laptop cool despite the plastic chassis. Overall this laptop is a great purchase. lt packs a powerful punch for the price it goes for and looks nice as well. ... show more

  • - Fantastic value for the cost
Style: Old i5-7300 Obsolete
Having had this unit for several months now, here are my impressions: - Fantastic value for the cost. Build quality is solid, while the entire unit is plastic it avoids feeling cheap like other laptops can - Excellent gaming performance. No, its not an uber-powerful desktop, and no, it wont unseat a top-of-the-line Razer Blade Pro, but it will play modern games at medium-high settings with a solid frame rate. More than powerful enough for casual gaming - Surprisingly good sound quality - Surprisingly quiet cooling Overall ive loved this laptop. It gets the job done and done well, and is priced extremely competitively. As mentioned, modern games like Destiny 2 can be played at 60fps on medium settings, hardly a powerhouse but plenty for casual gaming. The keyboard is nothing to write home about, ditto the screen, but they get the job done with no fuss, which is really all you need most of the time. Battery life is OK, but nothing to write home about. Casual use gets about 6 hours, though while gaming that number drops hard. No 12+ hour life here, you want that go shell out for something without a dedicated graphics card. There are a few negatives though; - Fingerprint magnet. The finish on the lid and around the keyboard shows every possible mark. - Connectivity. Not horrible, but you are limited to 3 USB 3.0 ports, and while there is a USB-c port, its not the latest standard that would allow you to power the laptop or connect a monitor (that i know of). The headphone jack is a combined headphone/mic port. Hardly a deal breaker, but i still wouldve like to have a seperate mic port. Puzzlingly, there is an SD card slot, i cant help but thing that space would be better used for more USB ports, or at least the aforementioned mic jack. Theres a few other smaller issues as well. The keyboard, for example, is fully backlit, but controls are limited to on and off, with no user control. The backlight is on at all times with the laptop plugged in, and shuts off after 5 seconds of inactivity without the charger connected. There are no other options, unfortunately, like it or leave. The trackpad is another point of contention, it works extremely well and is plenty sensitive, but the bottom edge is extremely close to the edges of both the keyboard and the unit. Accidental mouse movements are abundant, particularly in gaming unless you disable the trackpad Overall though, the good outweighs the bad by a fair margin on this. If youre looking for a relatively inexpensive laptop with a dedicated GPU that can handle relatively modern games, look no further. Just remember that this is an $800 laptop, it wont compete with a $2000 Razer, or even a gaming desktop ... show more

  • Best budget gaming laptop on the market with the 1050Ti
Style: Old i5-7300 Obsolete
I want to say that Acer has done extremely well in marketing what is essentially a mid-range gaming computer for a very good price point indeed. Including shipping, I was able to get this machine for about $725 all told, which is an excellent for a computer with a quad core i5 and a 1050Ti; other machines with identical specifications retail for upwards of 900 dollars. I have yet to be disappointed; I've thrown almost all of the best games I have, including Gaijn's War-Thunder (2013) and Idea Factory's Cyberdimension Neptunia (2017) at this computer, and it handles them almost flawlessly at 1080p on maximum settings; in Cyberdimension Neptunia, which uses the Unreal 4 engine, there are a few hiccups down to 57fps when new effects come into play, but otherwise the system holds stead with barely any noticeable noise or heat; Warthunder never drops below about 77FPS. This is the machine you want if you want a budget gaming laptop that truly lives up to the advertising hype; the Nvidia GTX 1050Ti will be able to handle most items coming out within the next few years on medium-high settings at 1080p for at least the next 3-5 years. With that said, the computer gets four rather than five stars for a couple of reasons. First, because while the chassis is solid and well made, the IPS screen itself is a bit dim, and the plastic frame for it feels a bit fragile; it's certainly not made of as durable a material as the actual chassis. Second, because the audio seems a bit off; while this is a function of the extra subwoofer/ bass settings they seem to have added to the audio card, it makes the audio a bit less clear than on my older computer, an HP Envy 17 S143CL model, which was purchased for $800 in December 2016. ... show more

  • Great GPU, fast SSD, reliable laptop, all for an impressive price. Great machine for beginner or moderate gamers.
Style: Old i5-7300 Obsolete
Very well designed low budget gaming laptop. I have been using it frequently for the last month or so, and it has worked great! My previous laptop had an issue with overheating on the games I liked to play, but this one handles them well. The GPU is powerful and stays cool, and the laptop is well designed, especially for the price. Cons: - Screen doesn't get very bright (Bright enough, but I'm used to just slightly more) - Cooling fans are pretty loud (Not too big a deal for me, I'd rather it be cool than quiet for gaming) - Battery life is not great but I expected that Pros: - SSD is so nice! - Model I purchased comes with an additional 2.5" bay as well as a cord to plug in another HDD - GPU runs amazing and stays cool - CPU runs great for games and other programs - Windows touchpad drivers are really good - Installation was so simple All in all, I was very happy with this. It works great for what I want, and it came at a killer price for the SSD and GPU inside. There were no major corners cut creating this machine, and I am a very satisfied buyer. Update: Recently I added an HDD in the extra 2.5” bay and it connected without a problem. There was no additional work I had to do other than plugging it in. They even provided the screws! ... show more

  • Great Mixed Reality Travel Laptop
Style: Old i5-7300 Obsolete
I hope everyone had a great holiday and this is one of my 2017 Holiday gifts to myself. As for background please check out some of my reviews I enjoy tech and have reviewed several types of systems. I brought this system for one purpose to match it with my Samsung Odyssey VR Headset for Windows mixed reality. From a price standpoint you would be hard pressed to find another Gamming Laptop in this price range with these features. I searched the net and the pricing was the best here on Amazon. I set up the laptop with the Samsung headset on Christmas and it passed all the test with flying colors I used it most so far to play Space Pirates an excellent VR game. I also have installed Star Trek Bridge Crew and Arizona Sunshine for non VR I have the Division on it running at full 60FPS. The laptop allows my VR to run at the full 90hrz on all my VR Games I can confirm mine does have the 1050TI not the 1050. The Laptop came with no bloat wear and was easy to setup by voice. I am certain the one I got has the drive holder for me to add an additional drive to the system I did not get it to use it on battery power for any long periods of time I understand these laptop are not made to game for hours on end with just battery power Even with the speakers faced down I still get great sound from them and the screen being matt is a pleasure glossy screens are to me over rated. Start up time is very fast and if you want to really use this laptop you will need an additional drive the included 256Gigs will fill up fast. This is I think one of if not the best first Gamming Laptop you can get and still be under $1000.00 If you have the cash and can afford a $1000.00+ machine then go for it but for me this hit a very nice sweet spot and it means I can take my VR on the road to let friends play with it. ... show more

  • Good value
Style: Old i5-7300 Obsolete
For the money, I'm satisfied w/ my purchase. I bought it to be used as a remote work PC for software development (.NET apps) and for occasional gaming. Screen: Colors and black levels are great. Its max brightness is probably too dim for the laptop to be used outdoors, if that's important to you. Keyboard: Nice to type on. I still prefer "full keyboard" laptops like Alienware and old Dell laptops, but I can type quickly on this and it's comfortable enough. Heat: It's pretty much always warm, regardless of what you're doing. The upside is that's true when gaming; it doesn't get extremely hot. Weight: It doesn't feel heavy in my lap and it's well balanced. It's very easy to open and close the screen one-handed. Good build quality. Battery: OK. So long as the 1050ti GPU is off, it seems to have a ~4hour battery (of actual use). Since this is a gaming PC, I feel that's decent. Performance: Witcher 3 runs at 55-60fps consistently w/ 1600x900 and high graphics (hair works off) and looks GREAT! Titanfall 2 "feels" like it runs @ 60fps with 1080p and high graphics, but I haven't ran it with FRAPS to be sure. Overwatch is an unwavering 60fps at high settings. Regarding upgrades: There is an extra hard-drive access panel and an access panel for (I assume) RAM. I opened the hard-drive panel, saw there was a cable and mounting hardware for an extra drive, so I connected a 256gb SSD I had from a prior laptop. I restarted the laptop, windows 10 detected the drive, and I was able to format it in seconds. I'll probably add a second 8gb stick of ram as a future upgrade. ... show more

  • Customer Service is a nightmare
Style: Old i5-7300 Obsolete
Honestly, the laptop is not too bad, but I want to bring to light the worse customer service experience of my entire life and why I do not recommend Acer products. I was using my laptop just fine when 4 months in from buying the laptop, the battery in my laptop stopped working and would not charge anymore. I think okay, Im just going to take this to my local repair shop and get this fixed ina couple days maximum. I go there and they ask me if I have a warranty with Acer. I look up and see that the laptop does have a 1 year warranty with Acer, and the representative tells me that they are not allowed to repair acer laptops under warranty (that is right, it is literally bad that the laptop is under warranty). I proceed to call acer customer support who ask me to ship my laptop and charger across the country to Texas because it is THE ONLY ACER REPAIR SERVICE CENTER IN THE WHOLE ENTIRE USA. Not only that, but I had to pay $50 just to ship my laptop UNDER WARRANTY to the Texas repair center. My laptop was gone for two weeks counting the shipping and time spent in the repair center which is already a ridiculously long time for a repair to be made. But it gets EVEN WORSE. I receive my laptop after two weeks and when I open the box my laptop screen was cracked and no charger was included. I am pissed at this point and rightfully so, acer stole my charger and returned the laptop with a whole new problem. I call acer repair center and this time after 30 minutes of complaining The lady tells me she wants me to ship my laptop back to the texas repair center. She tells me they will fix my laptop screen and send a charger back with it. Luckily this time they sent me a shipping label so I did not have to drop another $50 for acers incompetence to fulfill a repair, but I was never refunded the initial $50 which guarantees I will never buy another product from Acer again. Between the time the laptop had been sent the second time, I called the repair center again to make sure they get the order correct because my trust in Acer to send me back my laptop in one piece with my charger is at 0 at this point and they tell me I have nothing to worry about (lol) I get my laptop back after another two weeks and the laptop seems to be in repaired fully now but I still did not get my charger returned to me. On the service order sheet that came back with the laptop says that a charger was supposed to be sent to me but of course there is no charger. I call acer repair center again (now the fifth time I have called the repair center) and give the acer representative a mouthful. He tells me he will send the charger fro texas to me. I ask how long that will take and he says 3-8 business days. I told him that I had not have my laptop for a month and he wants me to wait 5 days for acer to lazily send me a charger because they cannot fulfill an order. After pulling some teeth he finally says that he will expedite the charger in two days. Which is nice but should not have been needed in the first place nor should I had to argue to get that. Why do I have to send my laptop across the country to get it fixed? Why did I have to pay for my laptop to be sent to the repair center if it is on warranty? Why did I not get two day shipping on literally any of the times that Acer screwed up. Why did I not get any compensation for having a repair take a month to complete? TLDR: If you do not want to have the worse customer experience of your life, then do not buy any acer products. I learned that lesson the hard way. ... show more

  • Pleasantly surprised in all facets.
Style: Old i5-7300 Obsolete
I really enjoy this laptop. Probably my favorite owned laptop so far. It runs the Oculus Rift surprisingly well; I haven't had any problems running any VR games I've tried so far. Pleasantly surprised. If you're planning on going the most cost-effective way to get into VR, this is it. A couple of small things I've noticed, good and not-so-good: I love the way the keyboard feels. The material is nice, as well as the way the keys feel when pressed. It just feels nice to me. The housing between the keyboard and trackpad flexes rather easily. This isn't a problem, but it's also not a good thing. I enjoy the way the trackpad feels; it's a nice and smooth material. The overall look of the laptop in general is nice, in my opinion. Though this model supports a Core i5 processor, it's actually faster than a lot of available Core i7 processors, so if you're shopping based on processor power, you can pretty much count this as an i7 - unless you're shopping for hardcore gaming. The key shapes can be a little strange, but only for keys that aren't often used. Some, such as the numpad, look a little squished - rectangular. Overall, I was second-guessing my decision to buy this laptop while waiting for its arrival, but I have been consistently and pleasantly surprised with this machine so far. Very well worth the money. ... show more
