Pros: I bought a pair of these for my tweener boys and they love them. I forgot how big a 15" screen is, but it is bright, sharp and uniform. Out of the box it's loaded with some extras, and a with a spinning platter drive, they didn't feel very fast. I did a clean install of Windows 10 from a recovery drive made from each machine onto a Samsung 500GB SSD. It was kind of a pain, but well worth the effort. The laptops boot in less than 5 secs with the SSD and have instantaneous response to clicks. Most importantly they play Arc Survival very smoothly with awesome graphics.

Cons: Difficult to open and swap hd and ram. Battery is built in

Overall Review: With just a few weeks of use they seem to be great budget power houses.

Pros: Decent graphics card at the time Win10 Pretty quick machine with i7 Good HDD Space Good Price for what was offered (albeit, now, not so much it didnt last more than a year

Cons: Died a little over the warranty period

Overall Review: If I pay $600 for something, it better well work more than a year

Pros: Good computer for the price that normally runs smoothly

Cons: Within a little over a year my HDD is dying and giving me blue screens about not being detected.

Overall Review: I have had this computer for a little over a year and worked fairly well. I agree with what someone else said that the HDD is slow. I think it is a big bottle neck on this system. But even then, for the price I was willing to take it without any complaints. But now that the warranty has expired, so has the HDD it seems. Every couple boots it will go into a blue screen stating no boot drive was detected. After turning it off and trying to turn it on again it will find the HDD. But it is only a matter of time until I need to replace it. I shouldn't be having this problem with a 1 year old HDD.

Pros: -Out of the box, it's smooth and sleek, cool and powerful. -Thunderbolt 3 port and M.2 slot on the underside of the board gives it some tremendous room for growth.

Cons: -NO WINDOWS 7 SUPPORT!!! Just spoke to Acer support who tell me I'm basically out of luck. The internal sound device simply will not work with Windows 7 installed. Windows 7 still commands 42% of the desktop/laptop market, DOUBLE that of Windows 10, but Acer no longer supports Windows 7 and only supplies drivers for Windows 10. I had a heckuva time getting the rest of the drivers and my journey ends without an internal sound device. I really really don't want to go to Windows 10.

Overall Review: If you don't want Windows 7, I would recommend this laptop.

Pros: Nice back lit keyboard.. Cool Design.. Great specs..

Cons: Slow... Very SLow.. i had to RMA am switching to try the Asus Rog with i7 6700hq and upgrade on the HDD too 7200 rpm would have helped this pc alot.. The 945m Crashed From day one..

Overall Review: I was very sad when i went to acer support

Pros: Appearance wise good but when you are playing a online game like league of legends frequently disconnects from wifi and it will not connect back automatically until you ping. I sent it for repair after 3 weeks also i dont hear anything from them.

Cons: WIFI connecting issues, I hate it when we love playing online games.

Pros: I have been looking to upgrade my 5 year old Toshiba laptop which has been great for business and other normal functions but couldn't play ANY of the newer games I downloaded off of Steam. After extensive research, I found this awesome gaming laptop from Newegg at a great price! Most laptops I researched that had similar specs were going for at least $999 or higher (on sale even.) - Latest gen Skylake Intel core i7 6700U - Nvidia GeForce 945 Graphics card is awesome it can play games such as Dragon Age Inquisition, Witcher 2 Enhanced Edition, Skyrim on Ultra setting with little or no dips in FPS - 1920x1080 resolution screen is decent* (more on that later) - Large harddrive - Upgradeable in every way - Can run multiple Apps at the same time with no hiccups - Great aesthetics despite what some reviewers have said about it looking cheap - Light weight, my old 15" laptop seemed A LOT heavier - Fast! - Got it here at Newegg...ordered on a Sunday night and received it on Tuesday afternoon! Great job Newegg! I definitely recommend you guys!

Cons: It did have a few nagging issues. I'm NOT at all a computer of=r gaming expert so this is from a "techno dunce's" point of view - Doesn't save your settings upon waking - I have to constantly reset things like resolution and caps lock and num lock when laptop wakes...annoying! - The screen is great but looks a little too yellowish when playing videos and games on the computer screen. It's awesome when you connect it to an HDTV though - Even when connected with an HDMI cable to my TV, sometimes the sound plays only on the laptop upon waking from sleep mode. - Same as above goes for games (most especially COD Black Ops) upon waking or when I sometimes change the resolution settings in game. It's very frustratiing!! - Battery life isn't the greatest (3-4 hours max) - Difficult to upgrade HDD to SSD and memory cards from what I have read but will do so soon

Overall Review: I've only had this for a week and will try to download the latest drivers to resolve annoying issues. Despite all that, I LOVE this computer! It looks good, I can FINALLY play games I purchased months ago on High to Ultra settings even, without any performance issues. Will also upgrade the hard drive to an SSD and also upgrade the memory to 32G. Haven't tested out the camera or other settings yet so I can't say anything about that. Will run some other apps and will add to my review in the near future. Happy gaming everyone!

Pros: Very fast and quiet, great IPS screen and video card. Super light weight. Great battery life.

Cons: Memory upgrade was not simple.

Overall Review: Definitely would highly recommend this to a friend.
