    • Awesome Video Editing/Gaming laptop
CPU: i7-9750/16GB/256GB Capacity: 15.6 in Style: Notebook only
Awesome laptop overall. Great buid quality and performance. Perfect general purpose laptop that happens to be good at moderate to heavy gaming. I would say if you are looking for a hardcore gaming laptop it's a good budget buy but I'd suggest investing a little more for gtx graphics card option but other than that it will run just about any games on moderate settings without a problem. Not the best "lap" top due to the amount of heat when you put it through the paces but to be expected if your gaming. The turbo button is great and very effective when needed just know as any machine would at full RPMs it's fairly loud. Mouse pad is very responsive and smooth, I like how it uses Microsoft driver's so you get their gestures which are standardized. Screen is the only downside with the lack of color gamut and brightness for direct sunlight use or digital creation but will still get the job done. The peripherals give you the option to connect a monitor via HDMI to mitigate this problem if needed. No thunderbolt connection but with the problems this port has I'm personally ok with not having it. I would desire an SD card reader because I use this machine for video and photo editing but that's just my preference. I run davinci resolve for video editing and haven't had a problem doing 1080p video editing, 4k is doable just requires a little more patience. Overall nothing bad to say about this device highly recommend for anyone wanting a gaming laptop at a reasonable price. ... show more

All I have to say with this laptop is just wow. Acer has really delivered with this laptop for 2019. Just a quick story, I’m upgrading from a 17’ 2014 Asus G751JT that has a GTX970m 3GB, Intel i7 4c/8t 4710hq 2.5ghz/3.5ghz boost, 60hz IPS screen that was $1500 and is 8.6lbs. As a college student, my tolerance for lugging that thing has been getting lower over the years. Also had some infamous battery problems that were annoying. I needed a good overall laptop to fulfill my gaming and study needs as I commute an hour to my university and stay there most of the day. It’s amazing on how far gaming laptops have gone within the last 5 years. Luckily, I was able to buy this laptop on prime day for $1000 which sold out hours after it got discounted. That speaks volume of how fantastic this laptop is. This won’t be a full-fledged nitty gritty review, so I’ll just stick to my opinions and findings on the product. The laptop feels premium. I’m amazed with the build quality at this price point along with the weight. It’s an eye catcher as I enjoyed looking at this laptop when I first unboxed it. The keyboard is pretty solid as it didn’t take long for me to get used to typing it. To be fair, I have smaller than average hands so your mileage will vary on this. It’s comfortable to type on for me, and I enjoy the sky-blue backlight as I’ve been stuck on red for 5 years. No complaints on the trackpad. It’s a little rough, I wish there were actual physical buttons for right and left click but I mostly stick to my USB mouse. The screen is 144hz and it is BRIGHT. The colors look great and the buttery smooth screen is just an awesome upgrade for me. There is some backlight bleed, but I only notice it on startup and loading screens. I do not notice it during gameplay unless you are playing a game with dark settings. The screen is so good for the price that I am willing to forgive some minor backlight bleed. If this was a $1600+ laptop, then I’d have a serious problem with it. Internet speed is good, no complaints. This laptop comes standard with 2x8gb of ram. Although I might upgrade to 2x16gb of ram down the road if I need to for my Information Technology classes. One thing to note is you definitely need to upgrade the storage in the laptop. You have space for a 2.5 drive and another NVMe ssd. I’m definitely going to get a 2tb sshd when I have the spare funds; which thankfully Acer provided a kit for a 2.5 drive for your convenience. A 1tb WD Blue is a good m.2 drive to get for storage if you need some fast speeds for any applications that benefit from it like Photoshop or VMware. Now for gaming, I’ll throw in a couple games. The Witcher 3 runs between 70-80fps on ultra-settings. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided was anywhere between 55-70fps on ultra. And for fun, I threw in Rocket League and it maxed out with spare performance to boot. Threw in a heavily modded Fallout New Vegas with 30+ mods and it ran beautifully. Battlefield 4 was a pretty awesome experience too. Overall, this laptop will handle most, if not, all your gaming needs. What’s great is that I never reached above 75c on the GPU and 80c on the cpu without touching anything on the laptop (Auto fans, no overclocking). The fans are somewhat audible; they never got as loud as turning on the turbo button which is just overkill imo. I usually keep fan speeds at around 85%. Keep in mind, my room temperature was 76F. I definitely don’t recommend any heavy gaming in a quiet place like the library, but if you are then you’re not doing your studying like you should be. Look up a YouTuber named OwnOrDisown. He reviewed the laptop and configured the laptop settings to get a nice middle ground for extra performance. Battery life is anywhere from 3.5 – 5 hours depending on your usage. This is with 20% brightness, max keyboard backlight brightness, and some YouTube in the background while typing up this review on Microsoft word. It’s not a long battery life like some ultra-books, but the battery is enough for me to get through some classes before I have to charge which is fine. I don’t recommend gaming on battery unless it’s a low intensity game like Rimworld, Stardew Valley, or AoEII. Seriously, don’t expect any gaming laptop to run AAA titles at max settings and max performance on battery. It’s unreasonable. One minor annoyance I had was the sound. Apparently, the laptop comes with Acer TrueHarmony that modifies sound by default. If you are hearing an echo-like sound as I was, then I’ll save you the 30 minutes. Open the PredatorSense interface and click on the App Center tab. Open Waves MaxxAudio. Click on the Waves Nx tab and disable the feature. Viola, the echo is gone. You can go back to the MaxxAudio tab and configure the sound properly to your liking. Closing Thoughts: This laptop is a breath of fresh air for me. I was extremely lucky on getting it for $1000. It does so many things right that I’d say it’d warrant the full price (Which is currently $1200 as of the time of writing..or typing? Whatever.) and I’d be ok with it. If you’re considering on getting a laptop, this is one of the few I’d heavily recommend because of the price point. (Other brands, please take notes). ... show more

Review Image by William Bolton William Bolton

Granted I've only had this laptop in my possession for a couple of days, but so far I like it a lot. Gaming on a 15.6" screen will take some getting used to. (My previous gaming laptops were ASUS ROG models with 17 inch screens, and my desktop has a 27" monitor.) but the picture quality is the best I've seen. The Predator has some great components with the 9th gen i7 processor, the Nvidia 1660 Ti GPU, 16 GB of RAM and an NVMe SSD. The SSD is 256 GB so I added a Seagate Firecuda 2TB hybrid drive for an additional expense of $80. In addition, the Killer networking hardware/software seems to work very well. That's the good. The bad is that it comes with Windows 10 (but what's a practical alternative?), and Microsoft is very aggressive in pushing its services. It can be difficult if not impossible to remove them. I make my own choices for browser, search engine, email clients, etc, but when I removed Edge I got notifications every time I started up on my startup screen pushing Edge and not once but twice. ( I think and hope I finally removed it. I'm not a fan of advertising, and I don't trust Microsoft.) And I'm not willing to trust "the cloud", so Dropbox and cloud storage were refused. I've downloaded several games onto the hybrid drive but only played Destiny 2 for about an hour and a half and a little of Age of Wonders III. As I said the graphical quality is the best I've seen, but Destiny 2 did freeze after I'd been playing for an hour or so which I assume was due to the GPU overheating (and I do use a notebook cooler), but I'm also assuming there are things I can do to prevent this in the future. For one thing, the game was optimized by the Nvidia GeForce Experience software and I'll have to look at their selections. I should also adjust the fan speeds, but I haven't looked into this yet either. So, if I should have to amend this review (and recommendation) in the future I will do so, but so far I'm very impressed with what Acer has provided and at what cost. I gave battery life and camera quality three stars because the laptop will always be plugged in, and I'll rarely if ever use the camera (though from what I've seen in YouTube reviews the image quality is certainly IMO acceptable for ordinary uses). Update: On the day after I wrote this review, I played some Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Dragon Age: Inquisition, WOW, Alpha Centauri and more Destiny 2. GeForce Experience optimized the games at ultra quality. I tinkered with the fan settings setting them slightly higher than standard (about 4000-4200 rpms and will fine adjust this more). The games looked great and played well without any problem. The fans did make some noise, but it's a whoosh and not a whine, and for me not terribly intrusive. As I said, I'll adjust the fan speed some more and may be able to reduce it even further. The speakers by the way are great with excellent sound quality and volume for a laptop. The fan noise never interfered with the sound at my settings. Again, well done, Acer. Two months later, and I'm still very impressed with this computer. I installed the new Crytek Neon Noir Ray Tracing Benchmark for ray-tracing effects without an RTX gpu, ran it fullscreen at 1920x1080 and ultra and got a score of 5529 with very fluid playback and frame rates that varied from about 45 to the upper 70s. The benchmark would seem to be quite the workout for a system and the Acer got a commendable result IMO. ... show more
