Review: Takes a good amount of abuse without failing... - This unit is designed to be a replacement for a gamers desktop machine. It gets pretty close. I am able to run nearly all high-end AAA titles with no stuttering. Some graphical glitches at extreme (overclocked) settings are usually the norm. It runs games great at unclocked speeds with the extreme 165Mhz. But I wanted to see what would bring the system to a halt, and I tried to do some DVD ripping (nothing illegal). After about 5 minutes, the system overheated and shutdown. Very good IMO. I want a machine to shut down when it's overloaded. This tells me that the system is tailor-made for a specific group of users and optimized for them. All upgrade parts were purchased on desertcart. I upgraded the memory with Crucial CT2K16G56C46S5 (DDR 32Gb CL46) and added two M.2 drives (TEAMGROUP TM8FP7002T0C311 (2 Tb) with graphene heat spreaders). I chose the latter because this is a laptop and therefore has little room for thermal attachments, and the graphene heat-spreader was just the ticket for this application. The memory was my second choice as the first set did not run in the unit. The first set that failed to run were the G.SKILL Ripjaws (F5-5600S4040A16GX2-RS). My second go at research indicated that the laptop could not use CL40 memory. Anyway, the Crucial CL46s are running superb, so I can't really say for certain whether the CL timings were the culprit. Cheers!
Review: Tremendous Value - This 16" laptop has the most features, at the highest specs, for the lowest cost. I spent months reading reviews and comparisons to other laptops, and I decided on this model because it offered the best value. So if that is your primary concern, buy this laptop. I'm a creative entrepreneur who also games, so I needed a machine that could be fun while also making me money, yet without looking like a typical gamer laptop. The Nitro will play all of the latest games on Ultra and run them perfectly. The 4070 has 8 GB of VRAM, and in most situations this is plenty. There are a few games that require more for the highest quality textures, but you can toggle a different feature off to compensate, and it'll then run it at a high FPS. The DLSS and RTX on some games help it run even smoother. This laptop has excellent cooling, with multiple vents. The fans are not as loud as I thought they would be. In fact, when you use the included Nitro software, you can toggle it for everyday use and the fan is near-inaudible. There's an even quieter setting for absolute silence. The fan does get loud when playing a few intense games at max, but your headphones can block it out with in-game sound. The same is true for most desktop towers, and is the nature of gaming. The screen is excellent, with vivid colors, high brightness, a 165 Hz refresh rate, and a 16:10 ratio. The extra vertical height serves a valuable purpose when reading documents and editing images in graphic design programs. It's also pleasing to the eye. The thin bezels add to this appeal. Lots of connection ports. Fast Wi-Fi and ethernet. The keyboard is slightly squishy, but it's fine, and I use a full external keyboard anyway. The backlit keys are fun, useful, and can be modified in 4 zones, or turned off. The included webcam isn't stellar, but it works like you want it to. The only concern I had with this laptop is the 16 GB of RAM. They are high-speed sticks from Hynix, but when I multitasked in Photoshop, Chrome, and other editing programs, or while gaming at max settings, it would sometimes use 95% of the RAM. That's not a problem with the hardware, because RAM is designed to be utilized at its fullest for hours at a time, but I knew that I'd be doing simultaneous video and audio editing while browsing that would require more RAM, so I upgraded to 64 GB G.Skill RipJaws. It turns out that this was overkill, and I never utilize more than 32 GB. The 16 GB is fine for most creative people. Similar situation with the built-in SSD. It's a fast model Samsung, but I needed more space, so also upgraded the SSD from 1 TB to two 2 TB Samsung Pro 990s, to fit the extra m.2 drive bay. There is no third bay for a SATA SSD platter, as there was on the previous Nitro model. The laptop battery is huge, but this laptop supports USB-C charging. I purchased a 140 watt portable USB-C battery with a 240 watt cable. When plugged-in, this charger provides all of the necessary energy to run my applications and keep the battery at max. This lightweight charger makes trips to the library easier. However, once plugged in, Acer notifies me with a brief message that the laptop is not receiving the ideal amount of power. Unfortunately there are no 240 watt portable chargers available on the market at the moment. Some day soon they'll have 240 watt chargers and the larger brick will be obsolete. To conclude, this laptop can do everything you need a laptop to do, while also playing games at max, and it provides a tremendous value. --- Here is the information I gathered about this machine, from various reviews and the internal readouts after owning it. I wish Acer added this to the sales page to have helped with my initial purchase, but since they didn't, here it is for you, to help with your decision.

Ive been using this laptop for almost 2 years now. I never had any problem with it other than the nitro app and it solved by deleting and installing it again. Im currently playing ARK Ascended wich is a really demanding game and it runs fluid and pretty good. I got zero problems running my games or with the temperature, it does run a little hot but never got any dameges but if that worries you, just go to the nitro app and put those fans really high or just get like a gaming laptop cooling pad. I love this laptop really satisfied with it
