    UPDATE (22 March 2022):New unit arrived yesterday and started up perfectly.As for a laptop, it's perfectly functional.

I haven't tested the webcam and microphone yet.I don't play new or graphic-intensive games, but this ran very well on older games (Team Fortress 2, Spec Ops: The Line, Magic the Gathering 2014) and some newer ones (Deep Rock Galactic). I plan to run Halo Infinite and Outer Wilds later this week and expect it to perform well.I will keep this updated as my time with this computer progresses. 5/5___________________________________________________________________OLD REVIEW (20 March 2022):TL;DR - I'm sure the laptop is great but the one I received is defective (can't charge - motherboard issue). I am returning it to Amazon and have ordered another one, as I'm sure a functioning unit will meet my expectations for this product. I will update my review when my second order arrives. As for now, 1 star for defective product.I wanted a budget gaming laptop to replace my retired ASUS G55VW (2011). I chose this model due to its strong specs for a budget device, including an RTX 3050Ti (midrange for graphics cards in 2021 but supports the burgeoning ray-tracing technology used in current games), Core i7 CPU, 1 TB SSD storage, and 16GB memory. I also chose this because I wanted a 17-inch screen. The price point maxed out my acceptable budget range (~$1200).I believe this laptop is a good choice for me considering these specs and the price, and I look forward to trying it out.HOWEVER, the model I received appears to be defective - I believe I got a lemon. Upon unboxing, plugging the charger into the laptop did not illuminate the 'charging' light on the laptop, even after trying different electrical outlets and surge protectors. I took it to a local computer repair shop and the tech confirmed the charger itself was functional, as his voltmeter reported 19+ V. Upon opening the device and testing it, he concluded that something was wrong with the motherboard that prevented charging (I am unfamiliar with computers and cannot relay the significance of what he said).I filed for a return-and-replace with Amazon; they accepted the return but denied the replacement - likely so I couldn't keep both laptops and run. The laptop is currently repackaged and I will drop it off at UPS for a return in the next couple of days.I immediately ordered another unit, as this model was my first choice. I expect the second product to work just fine and meet my purchasing expectations, and eagerly await its arrival.

    CPU: i5-12500H / RTX 3050Verified Purchase
    This is an amazing laptop for what you pay. The RTX 3050 is pretty dang capable and the 12th gen I5 processor is better than the 11th gen I7. There is a caveat that come with the price. First, it only comes with 1 stick of 8 gig RAM. This is pretty much the bare minimum that you can get away with for windows 11. Windows ran and I could even play a few games, but performance is throttled because the memory will be maxed out. There's an extra DIMM to add memory. I would recommend that you buy at least one 8 gig stick of Crucial (this brand is approved to work with Acer) memory (DDR4 3200MHz CL22) and add it to the empty DIMM. It should be pretty cheap. I bought 2 sticks of 16 gig (32 total) for $70 and it's running quick and smooth. Accessing the motherboard to replace the memory was probably one of the easiest laptops I have ever done. I'm also going to replace the M.2 drive with a Crucial T500 1Tb drive. The one it comes with is 500 gigs and the one I'm buying has a faster read/write speed but the drive it comes with is capable. Also, there's 2 M.2 slots to use.

    Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2022
    Detailed First Impression Review

    I’ve been on Xbox for a long time for gaming and wanted to see the hype behind PC gaming. I do many things with my computer that a desktop would not work for me, as I have to move it around frequently and like portability, so I explored into the gaming laptop world. This was a cheaper, yet good option for an entry level Device.

    Processor- I bought the i7-11800H model and this processor seems to be a bit overkill for even some higher end games. But it’s great to have that extra power to multitask as well. I have not had any issues with the processing power. It’s fast and smooth.

    Graphics- I’m using the RTX-3050Ti and I’ve seen the card likes to run at 100% nearly all the time when in a game but I have had no issues with its capability of running smoothly and not overheating, and I haven’t even tried any undervolting yet which could improve it more.

    RAM- the 16gb ram and 4gb vram work well together. I use the heavily graphic related game of BeamNG Drive that requires a lot of RAM to run smooth and have tried several multiplayer games and have never seen the RAM get over 70% (which is pretty good for heavily demanding games). This was Plenty of RAM for the gaming I do to keep it running smooth.

    Overall- this is a great starting laptop for anyone looking for a gaming laptop or something fast for multitasking. Sure there might be a couple other options with similar price ranges that might perform slightly better. But this one was the lowest price I saw for what you get out of it and it’s been working just fine for me. I haven’t had it long so I may be back to update this if my opinion changes lol. But first impressions were really good.

    Negatives- the graphics card works really great as mentioned above, but if you use it running at 100% for a couple hours you can completely notice a performance drop because the temperature starts to get too hot. I haven’t had it overheat but I have had some slight performance differences after a while of hard use. That’s really the only “issue”, that’s not a huge deal, that I’ve had. And it’s correctable by changing up some deeper settings.

    As I have mentioned, this is a great ENTRY Level laptop. I would not recommend this laptop to anyone that is heavily into gaming. It works great for what I want to do with it but it would work pretty bad for a professional gamer (not that pros would ever use a laptop for gaming lol). I am also newer to PC gaming but I’m pretty savvy with computers. So being able to change some settings that the average newer user wouldn’t know how to, without YouTube tutorials, have made this laptop perform a little better than out of the box. But these changes I made so far are all settings included on the computer, not third party software included in this review (meaning anyone can change the basic settings to improve the performance slightly as I have).

    PS- I thought I had a dead laptop when it came like other reviewers complained about. I read the review of one person that said you have to jam the power plug in there really good til it clicks for it to work. I initially thought I pushed hard enough and heard a light snapping sound, but it wouldn’t charge or turn on. So I pushed a lot harder and heard it click a lot louder and it started charging perfectly fine and started up right away.

    Got mine earlier today. Arrived on time brand new in the box. The 5th gen comes with 16gb of ram and not 8 as advertised. Great Machine. The fans do get kinda loud under load but normal for a budget gaming laptop. Some bloatware to remove and normal pc security procedures. Only thing it does better than my maxed spec lenovo p50 thats 9 years old is run newer games. Definately worth the buy.

    excelente laptop, yo lo compre por 23k, y por ese precio es la mejor de su categoría sin duda, aunque es pesada, cumple con su función que es de tener fuerza bruta y llevarlo a todas partes, el único detalle es el sonido de las bocinas, que la verdad son decentes, pero no son muy buenas, y la otra queja es que las marcas de las manos se quedan en la carcasa de la laptop con bastante facilidad.

    Bueno, esta es mi reseña despues de haber cumplido un año con ella , la verdad es que es muy buen equipo calidad precio, obviamente los primeros meses la bateria duraba bastante e inclusive corria juegos sin dar bajo de fps cuando se requeria demasiado procesamiento. Pero sinceramente corre juegos que yo nunca espere que correria y los correbastante bien, si se calienta un poco pero nada que los ventiladores que tiene no puedan arreglar.

    Le hice unas pequeñas modificaciones como cambiarle la RAM y agregar otro disco SSD , la verdad es que en el disco segundario intento tener todos mis juegos y a pesar que algunos requieren casi o si estar en el disco principal, la comunicación de datos mediante el cablo que tiene es bastante buena (obviamente no le pidas demasiado, cumple su función y un poco más).

    Actualmente ya la batería me da hora y media de carga, jugando o un poquito menos , trabajando o para entretenimiendo sin hacer uso de la tarjeta de video me dura entre 2 a 2 hrs y media sin problema alguno.

    No le he dado mantenimiento y actualmente uno de sus ventiladores y hace un sonido bastante raro, pero considerando que si la he usado con usos forzados y sin mantenimiento considero que es normal, para que siempre esten al pendiente con sus equipos y realicen sus mantenimientos cada 6 meses.

    En su momento me consto 16.6K, pero por lo que veo sigue siendo la mejor opción para juegos y productividad.

    Considero que lo unico que cambiaria de fabrica seria el disco, por mas almacenamiento, pero de ahi en fuera, en estetica tiene casi de todo, el hecho de que puedas controlar mediante el NitroSenses las revoluciones de los ventiladores es una pasada. Consideren que tiene el teclado EU, osea no tiene ñ, pero con el tiempo te acostumbras, también puedes colocar ambas configuraciones de teclado y sin problema alguno.
