  • Have a fan base for the large periods you need to turbo the laptop.
CPU: i9-12900H / RTX 3080Ti Style: 16" WUXGA
An absolute beast. Runs everything you throw at it, at high graphs and no lagging. Also, renders at a great speed. The material doesn't feel cheap, and it's very thin and slick. Really good laptop. Cons: RAMS is not upgradeable beyond 32GB (as per manufacturer recommendations), but it could be possible to add more, at one's risk. Possible risks: random system interrupts a.k.a. literally bluscreens (but I might be wrong). A bit loud fans when the turbo is on, but that's ok. Overall, an absolute masterpiece, a must grab if you want to squeeze money out of this laptop as a work investment (either gaming, content creation, or 3D design). ... show more

  • Morphs into a piece of trash
CPU: i9-12900H / RTX 3080Ti Style: 16" WUXGA
Save your money buying another laptop. I paid A LOT of money for this PC and it worked just fine for a while, then it became slow no matter what software I paid to make it better, and the turbo bottom of the laptop stopped working. This expensive thing is now barely useful. What a waste of money!

Assume computer. Arrive on time and in flawless condition. I am using it for movie making using Cut Clip software. Super-fast running the Cut Clip software. Screen is sharp and crystal clear. Others had commented that the sound quality was not the best. I would have to disagree; the sound is perfect. Thanks. ... show more

  • Nice laptop, with the worst speakers I've heard in over a decade
CPU: i9-12900H / RTX 3080Ti Style: 16" WUXGA
This laptop has plenty of pros... Modern 12th Gen Intel CPU, NVidia 3080Ti (laptop version), plenty of RAM. They were a bit stingy on the SSD but 1TB will get you by for a while. The screen is a nice improvement over the laptop it's replacing (close to years old). I was pleasantly surprised the only bloatware of significance was Norton, which I immediately got rid of - nobody needs that garbage. However, it has one major drawback and one minor annoyance. The touchpad is annoying and easy to palm - could have sworn this problem was fixed 10 years ago but it's not on this laptop (not by default at least). The bigger issue though.... the sound is awful. Not just your typical bad laptop speakers, but almost like they're blown bad. Better get ready to use headphones or separate speakers because you're not going to want to listen to these clearly overlooked speakers that are built in. DTS/X... lol... whatever that means... it definitely doesn't mean good quality built-in speakers that's for sure. ... show more

  • Powerhouse in Gaming
CPU: i9-12900H / RTX 3080Ti Style: 16" WUXGA
It works really well at doing whatever you need it to do, and you can add an extra nvme drive inside the laptop. You also can run pretty much any game at max settings, play bluestacks (admin privs) and emulators no problem. The sound on this laptop without headphones suck, but the video quality is really nice. I keep my laptop elevated on a laptop stand so I don't really worry about any heat issues. Overall I have no issues with this laptop. ... show more

  • Worked fine, when it worked (Returned)
CPU: i9-12900H / RTX 3080Ti Style: 16" WUXGA
I got the i9-12900H / 3080TI version with the bag (in case the listing changes) Beautiful display, the single game I installed on it (Destiny 2) played great, but besides the issue where it would instantly shut off for no reason, there were some things I didn't like about it. The charging port is in the middle of the left hand side, with a 90 degree angle plug, meaning the cable either blocks your usb ports, or one of the fan exhausts (not a huge issue though, most air flow is through the back). The keyboard gets fairly hot on the right side, so I manually upped the fan speed instead of letting the predator software handle it. It wouldn't get overly hot during gaming because the "Turbo" mode would ramp up the fan speeds, but because the fans are all towards the back it stays pretty warm (though it's a laptop, it's expected to be really warm) I didn't like it switching between intel and nvidia graphics for display output, it would resize my windows and make the text small until I moved the windows again. Nice power saving feature but more of an annoyance to me. The main reason I returned it was due to the laptop shutting off, sometimes after 5 minutes, sometimes after several hours. I don't believe it shut off at all while I was playing Destiny 2, though I only tried it a few short times, so I may have just been lucky. I tried rolling back drivers and entirely resetting windows, but I wasn't willing to try anything else (like updating bios or re-seating ram) and it's probably a hardware issue anyways, so support told me to just return it. ... show more

  • A great powerhouse of a laptop!
CPU: i9-12900H / RTX 3080Ti Style: 16" WUXGA
This thing is a surprising amount of power packed into a relatively thin frame. It can handle every game I throw at it and then some... Not to mention running some local AI models with all of thag glorious VRAM. Only caveats: the speakers are a bit weak (I use headphones normally anyways) and I've had recurrent issues with the wifi/Bluetooth adapters (nothing a quick driver reinstall can't fix even at its worst). Everything else works flawlessly! ... show more

  • Lasted less then a month
CPU: i9-12900H / RTX 3080Ti Style: 16" WUXGA
Recently purchased this and have had nothing but issues. When it was running it was slow. The past few days it's been blue screening with a ""Acer driver verifier DMA violation" error message. I got it to run and tried a factory reset but it failed somehow. Then it bluescreened with "Driver power state failure" error message. Now it's stuck on the sign in because my PIN is somehow lost, the app that resets the PIN is broken, and the fingerprint reader stopped registering anything. I bought this brand new less then one month prior to writing this and the ACER website says it's out of warranty somehow and does not offer any help. Avoid this machine ... show more
