I bought this laptop during the black friday sale for a little over $900, as an upgrade to my Acer Nitro 5 which I had for a couple years.Pros:-Can run pretty much any AAA game at max settings with ease.-Cooling is great, and I've had absolutely no issues with overheating under load.-144hz screen is decent, especially given the price, and has more than capable hardware to reach the framerates required for that.-Keyboard feels great, especially if you like a softer feeling keyboard. Manages to feel soft without being mushy.-Build feels sturdy, with the lid and interior being made out of metal.-Upgradability. Though the stock storage on the model I got was a bit lacking, it does have a free m.2 NVMe slot and a 2.5" drive bay which is excellent.Cons:-Looking at other reviews, backlight bleed can be hit or miss. Mine has a fair amount, especially right under the webcam and in the bottom right corner. However, it's only noticeable on very dark scenes and I never notice it when gaming. I also use it with a larger second monitor when at home, so it doesn't concern me too much. Looks worse in pictures than in person.-Turbo mode also turns the fans into "jet engine" mode, the fans at max speed are very loud.-Battery life. Being that it's a gaming laptop this should be expected, and I don't generally use it unplugged anyways, but it's worth mentioning.-The top and interior are absolute fingerprint magnets.That's pretty much the gist of it, been using it now for a solid month and it's been awesome. No issues so far, and I'd recommend it if you're looking for a reasonably priced upgrade!
