I bought this as a replacement when I nuked my Lenovo.  I was impressed with the price that I locked in it at, unfortunate for anyone buy after I did as the price immediately increased minutes after I purchased.Already knowing that the stated 8gb wouldn't be enough i immediately ordered a ram upgrade to install after a startup check. Additionally I knew that a HD upgrade was probably in order, so a 1t firecuda was ordered as well.The purchase was seamless.. the shipping was quick. I appreciate the great service provided by the seller.As for the nitro... straight out of the box it was quick to start (updates excruciating like always) and the display was amazing.  Games ran ok at mid level settings, streaming at 1080 was good (once loaded it would look incredible).On to the upgrades... after an hour I had the laptop taken apart, stuffed full of new part and ready to start.With the maxed out 32gb of ram startup was missed because i blinked. I discovered 2 to 3 more rounds of updates which took less than 5 mins including restart. I decided to try and stream some 4 k vids and they ran flawlessly and looked beautiful.  I tried out some games at max settings and they were just jaw dropping.Long story short... if you are looking for a great laptop at a good price this is it! Watch the price as it fluctuates. Also be prepared for some upgrades... the SSD included is not sufficient for gaming and the ram could probably use to be at least 16gb. Don't worry they designed this laptop with that in mind with 2 SSD bays and 1 HHD bay and room for 32gb of ram.I am happy with my purchase as I knew what I was getting and was prepared to put the extra into it. 32 gb may have been overkill but im elated with the results! Bravo acer!
