    I got this laptop on the Black Friday for $928 which was a great deal for a laptop with these specs. Acer has done a good job on this one. This laptop has a great build quality, most of it is metal so it feels good to the touch. It's quite thin and has a fair weight. To me it doesn't feel that heavy, I can easily carry it around with me in my backpack and although it weighs 2.3 KG (5 pounds), about 3 KG with the power adapter its weight has been distributed evenly so that it is portable. The screen quality is good, is bright enough and color accurate. Content looks great on this laptop, colors are vibrant and games look great. Performance of this laptop is awesome due to the fast Intel Core i7 9750H CPU, 16GB dual channel RAM and fast Kingston NVME SSD. It boots up in just 14 seconds and if you disable the boot animation and sound (via Predator sense software) on startup then just 9 seconds. Applications load noticeably fast while in some games I hardly see the loading screen!. The Nvidia GTX 1660ti GPU is a solid performer with most triple A titles acheiving over 60 fps on high settings. Many have complained about the screen bleeding issue, I haven't noticed it at all even in dark games. The laptop only comes with the 256 GB Kingston NVME SSD drive however Acer has included 2 slots extra for expansion of storage one for a M.2 NVME SSD and another for a 2.5" drive (Hard Disk or SSD). I purchased a Silicon Power NVME 1TB SSD drive and its working well.  The speakers are average in my opinion and they do not get very loud. You can adjust the sound via the waves audio app which will slightly improve sound quality but not by much. There are plenty of ports but their placement is very awkward especially the power port. If you're connecting the power adaptor, LAN cable and a USB device things become crowded. I think Acer should have done a better job in port placement. The Aero Blade fans do a good job at keeping thermals at a minimum. When just doing regular tasks such as web browsing or MS office apps then you can even hardly hear the fans and temperatures are at around 30 - 35 degrees celcius. When gaming is when the fans crank up and are annoyingly quite loud. To reduce temps further I have used Throttlestop to undervolt the CPU (videos are there in YouTube on how to do this). Also MSI afterburner can be used to undervolt the Nvidia GPU.  Wifi and LAN ethernet speeds are great thanks to the Killer Wifi and Ethernet cards. Also the Killer Control center app is great as it prioritizes network traffic based and your most used apps e.g if you do a lot of gaming then it will optimise for gaming.Pros-------1. Great build quality2. Portable3. Great performance4. Good screen quality5. Plenty of storage expansion options6. Affordable for it's specsCons-------1. Fans get loud with intensive tasks2. No SD slot3. Bad port placement4. Low capacity SSD5. Average sound quality for a laptop of this class.In conclusion I would highly recommend this laptop for both gamers and content creators. Go ahead and buy it. I have been enjoying it for the last 3 weeks :)
