The gaming PC so far is perfect and very fast and the graphics amazing.Screen is large, bright and beautiful. Can operate many things at one time and have multiple tabs with no issues.Have played multiple games and so far no lag or stutter .After researching a few, I purchased this one for my daughter who is a avid gamerher last was a Lenova she had bought used that only lasted over a year before the graphic card had issues and needed a motherboard that appears to be an issue with that particular brand model.Instead of repairing we decided to purchase this one. Most have a small 15.6" screen this one is a 17.3" screen which is better and has 165Hz refresh rate as most have only a 144Hz .It has a a AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS Octa-Core CPU 17.3" FHD 165Hz IPS Display NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 16GB DDR5 1TB SSDIt is thick and nicely made . chassis has a few extra tricks up its sleeve when it comes to cooling with dual-fan, dual-intakes (top and bottom), and a quad-exhaust port design. but like all gaming use one should also have a exterior cooling pad/fan but so far the cooling system has worked flawlessly .Multiple USB ports for various use , such as USB-c and also a USB 4, USB3 and USB2 and even a SD card reader and HDMI and ethernet if needed.The Price of this laptop was amazing in and of itself, such a great one for just a tad over $1000 bucks compared to many in it's category which are several hundred dollars more and some with less SSD and less ram and many with older graphic cards etc.So far this has been a great investment. Will update further ad time goes by to see how well it lasts, I hope it last many years and I understand it is also upgradeable for future longevity.

I'm probably not the best person to ask about this. The laptop this replaced was $300 when I bought it in 2014. That's like going from eating sad ramen for years to suddenly being thrust into the world of high-end steakhouse fare. However, my experiences with this powerhouse of a gaming laptop demands a review.Holy crap, this thing is fast! The browser opens in like a second. Hell, my games open in less than five seconds. The graphics are gorgeous! I can push the graphics settings in second life up to ultra and it won't make the fans scream! Now, I will say, it's not the quietest laptop. I personally don't care about that, but I know some people might, that's why I mention that. I do record music from time to time, but I've always found a way around the fan noise. I don't know how good the battery life is, I keep it hooked up for the most part unless there's like a storm or something.I know another thing that I was looking at when shopping for a new laptop was heat. It does get a little warm, but it stays well within normal parameters. I've never seen it even get close to the upper limits of what the parts can handle, and I can run multiple CPU-intensive applications at the same time.Just be prepared, it's a heavy laptop. I don't care about its weight personally, as it literally sits on my computer desk all day, but if you're worried about that, just bear that in mind.Overall, I give this product 5 stars! I frankly feel spoiled rotten by its capabilities. I haven't even reached its full potential. Seriously, this is a solid gaming laptop.

Great performance so far but upgrading 8 gb RAM is a must if you really want to get full benefits of this laptop. Screen is bright and honestly very vibrant and beautiful. Starts up very slow tho, it is very quiet as well. So far runs osrs and rs3 full hd flawless but will take up most of that 8gb ram especially if you want to stream.

Bought this a year ago after doing a lot of research on different laptops. Felt good about committing to this one because Acer is a reputable brand, and the Nitro 17 is well-reviewed. Of the 13 months I had it, I probably only regularly used it for 4 months, as I brought it on my work trips. I had never had an issue with it until 2 days ago, where it randomly shut down in the middle of a game I was playing. When I tried to start it back up, there was a “No Bootable Device” message shown (picture attached). The laptop didn’t seem all that warm, so I didn’t think it was an overheating issue. I went to the Acer support site, but they will only connect you with an agent if it’s in warranty, which I was ONE WEEK overdue on. They then referred to a 3rd party for support, where I would have to pay them for troubleshooting help. I didn’t do that, and ended up using a local computer repair shop. They are still troubleshooting it, but are pretty certain it’s a bad drive. Which is ridiculous, as this is only a year old, and barely used. I now have to shell out $100s of dollars to salvage use from something I paid over $1000 for. Very disheartened from this whole ordeal, especially from a brand as reputable as Acer.
