Update 4/2024:I was able to purchase a replacement charger directly from Acer and all is well again. I'll say, for a 5 year old computer, it's held up pretty well overall despite the cracked bezel (granted, I don't transport the computer very much so that could account for the durability.)  The performance is still good although, because it's a laptop, cooling is a huge issue and for that reason, I don't game on it because it can reach close to 200 degrees F (up to 93 degrees C!) The thermal paste probably needs to be re-applied but generally it works like a new computer so for these reasons, I'm upgrading my rating to a 3 again.Update 7/2023:The bevel has held up but the charger sucks! It doesn’t engage like it’s supposed to anymore and therefore falls out or doesn’t charge the computer despite being plugged in. I initially thought  the problem was the charging port so I swapped it out but I still have the same issues so I’ve concluded the problem is actually the charger. I’m now looking for a replacement charger which is proving difficult. I would not buy another computer with this style (right angle plug) of charging ever again.Updated 05/2020:I'm docking two stars (previously 4 stars) because the bezel of the screen has cracked on both sides near the bottom. This is a stress crack that has happened on my old 2006 Macbook Pro before they redesigned it with a thicker bezel. This issue on this computer surprises me, because, 1)This issue with other laptops had been addressed far in the past by other laptop makers and 2) I expect higher quality for this, a higher end, laptop but from an engineering standpoint, it doesn't surprise me because the screen, itself, is incredibly thin and the top of the laptop has A LOT of flex in it that I didn't notice initially, until, when I went to move the computer, I cradled the laptop in my hand with my finger tips bracing the open top, and to my horror, the screen noticeably flexed.Purchased 08/2019:I really like this laptop. It's powerful, and it fills my needs well. I use programs such as Premiere Pro, After Effects and Unity and I also play games like Apex Legends and Fortnite on it. This computer handles these tasks well. There are few things that really annoy me about this laptop. The keyboard is off center by A LOT. I'm constantly hitting the Predator button when I code and it gets to be incredibly annoying as time wears on. I don't use the number pad often, if ever, so I could have done without it and that would have helped with the centering of the keyboard. The shift key on the right is also too small. The second thing that bothers me is the speaker(s). They are in the front of the computer so if the computer is on your lap, the sound will probably be quite muffled. When it's on a hard surface, it sounds better but the sound itself is not of great quality. For reference, my 2012 MacBook Air's speakers have a more full sound and are head and shoulders above the speakers in this laptop. The third thing that bothers me is the fact that the computer cannot adjust brightness appropriately, automatically, when it's removed from AC power (my MacBook Air does). The same goes for when you plug in headphones or unplug them: there is no separate volume for headphones vs. the laptop's speaker. These are things I can generally look past but they bother me enough to keep them in the back of my mind when buying another laptop.
