EDIT:
After 2 months, decided to double the RAM to 32GB after noticing Windows 11 utilized over 25% of total RAM capacity even when running at idle, not leaving much excess for really intensive apps or heavy multi-tasking. OEM RAM was (2x8GB) DDR5 5600CL46 by Hynix, a well-regarded brand.... YES, 5600MHz memory speed as opposed to the slower 4800MHz speed shown in some listing specs, which is a nice bonus. Several good brands to choose from for the RAM upgrade (Corsair, Crucial, Hynix, Patriot, Gskill, etc.), but one stood out. Kingston Fury Impact 5600CL40 SODIMM's not only run at 5600MHz speed, but also have better latency (CL40, as opposed to CL46 for the other brands). Price was reasonable as well (in fact, cheaper than most of the others; and co-incidentally, using chips made by OEM manufacturer Hynix), so I definitely recommend Kingston Fury Impact RAM as an excellent upgrade for this AMD-based Nitro laptop. CPU-Z utility shows the new RAM working fine at 5600 MHz speed and CL40 latency rating. (see attached photos for before-and-after CPU-Z displays of RAM memory, 32GB new vs. 16GB old). Now when laptop is running at idle, Windows 11 only uses about 12% of RAM, leaving much more for app-related purposes, so everything should run more smoothly and quickly, even when multi-tasking. This motherboard is capable of handling up to 64GB of total RAM, but from what I've read that much is overkill - an unnecessary expense and excessive RAM that will never get fully utilized. 32GB of RAM seems to be the sweet spot for maximum efficiency in this system. Makes this fantastic laptop even better than before!

I purchased this laptop so that I might step away from my molten mess of a Dell G15 5515 (Ryzen 7 5800H / 3050ti).
The thermals on this laptop are quite impressive given the poor excuse of mid range gaming laptops that flooded the market years ago. Under heavy load (80%+) I see temperatures somewhere around 75*C. This is quite acceptable given my Dell's usual 100*C temps.
NitroSense is the software equivilent of Alienware Command Center. The only difference between the two: NitroSense just works. Yeah! Amazing! I've grown tired of billion dollar companies creating minimum viable products. All the more so when it comes to monitoring and maintaining hardware that I've purchased. Gone are the days of waiting 2-5 minutes for Command Center to load up. Gone are the days where Alienware Command Center would sit there and download a 1.2gb "patch." It's quite alarming that I'm impressed with software that functions exactly as I would expect it to. In NitroSense I'm able to customize my power profiles, fan speeds, lighting, etc... without concern or worry! Hey! Thanks software guys!
The screen is pretty darn cool. Sadly, it suffers a bit from panel glow. Most of the time I only notice it when the machine is booting up.
With a native resolution of 2560x1440 and a GeForce 4060 -- gaming isn't too shabby. A lot of the time I'm hooking up my ultra wide and playing at a decent FPS in 3440x1440. Gaming in 1080p should be a breeze for most people.
Ports n' ports n' ports! I have 3-5 monitors. This is one of the very few laptops on the market with (2) USBC and an HDMI port on the rear. There are (3) USBA ports; 2 on the right, 1 on the left. I can easily get by with a mouse -- ol' Squeakers.
This laptop actually has a MicroSD slot. Hats off to Acer. I'm constantly using flash media.
The battery on this thing is really, really quite impressive. I just turned on 'quiet' mode and dimmed my brightness down to 20%. This thing will outlast my Surface Pro 8 / Surface Go 3 at this rate. At my current usage rate I'll get 6.5-8hrs out of a full charge. Other reviews (such as JT) have claimed a full 8hrs while playing a 720p video. Pretty darn close.
Some peopel complain about the touchpad having a coarse material. I have no idea what they're talking about. Mine is very smooth and I've had zero problems with it out of the box.
A lot of the reviews here (10%~) note hardware failure shortly after purchase. I did run HWINFO on here to ensure I received a fresh laptop and not someone's return or refurb. Everything checked out o-k and everything has worked thus far.
This review will be edited should any major hardware failure occur. I will update this in a year for kicks. Assuming everything goes well -- I'll upgrade my storage and probably ram in the future.
Top reviews from other countries
The 165hz with 3ms on a monitor is something no gamer should be without, it changes your game and will make you unstoppable. This laptop definitely delivers this. With QHD your game will change forever.
The RTX 4060 is a major asset to any gamer that wants to utilize the high refresh rate monitors with a game that delivers high detail games. Only downside as with most other laptops but so far I’ve ran into no excessive heat, however the fans are very loud.
The CPU in this laptop isn’t quite bare minimal; it’s more than enough to not bottleneck your PC specs from the CPU alone but running too many programs will make the CPU get a little hot thus the laptop gets much louder.
To be honest, my old real beef with this beast is the 16gb ram it comes with. It’s really the only problem I run into. If I want to run a high memory game and an internet browser then that is really not possible without overloading your ram. I’m sure you can replace the ram, just check warranty information and make sure you find a way that doesn’t void your warranty.
This laptop is also very heavy, which is to be expected from how heavy GPU’s are becoming these days.
