Pros: Runs everything you throw at it at max settings easy. Never overheated after hours on turbo at high stress. Really portable and light weight great for traveling. G-sync panel is smooth at 144hz no tearing and great colour.

Cons: Cooling fans can get loud while overclocked when not using a sound proof headset My battery did died just after 2 months but before that barely lasted a full movie aka 2 hours before dying (could just be the faulty battery I had this may vary) Acer warranty doesn't work in other countries even though I ordered in the UAE, Acer UAE, UK and even international warranty all got declined said I had to get it fixed by Acer U.S which is pretty far away...

Overall Review: If you live in the U.S/Canda or visit frequently and you want a light weight with great performance laptop then buy this, just don't buy it online abroad it's not worth the hassle if it has a fault.

Pros: Great customer support Good feel

Cons: Had to reset the computer 5 times in the 4 days i had it

Overall Review: I had this laptop for 4 days and was playing Assassin's creed when the screen just gave out on me. Don't get this laptop its overpriced and too fancy. I had a real hard time dual booting Linux on it

Pros: -2080 max-Q under $3k -its thin & light -1 open ssd slot for upgrades -thunderbolt -great screen -aluminum frame -2.5g ethernet -affordable... ish... ish?

Cons: -like every laptop that is of a thin & light design it can get hot while gaming, I knew this coming in and it has dual fans on the gpu to help with this. -few ports.. for a work/play laptop i would've preferred to not have had to've bought a hub -probably going to be outdated in a few months.. i've already read about an i9 version soming soon

Overall Review: I bought this laptop as an upgrade to my old msi gaming laptop and having the portability of 4lbs vs 6 1/2 and the MUCH smaller power brick it is much easier to lug this around and it has the power to do everything i need. I added a 2tb m.2 to the laptop as thats the only option for an upgrade you are going to get with this, but considering the "better" version is just a 1tb with 32gb ram, this is a better alternative. Lastly as somone thats worked on computers for years, ive always hated acer as they're always a big pain to fix. This laptop is definitely designed to be a "flagship" as it has all the add-ons that make it desirable. The motherboard is installed upside down but its not as hard to remove as many of their older laptops but i would've preferred to have been able to just open the bottom and access the ports form there.

Pros: -Extremely powerful! -G-Sync with 144 Mhz IPS screen! -All kinds of ports! -Very light! -Looks premium since it's case is made of aluminium!(except bezels!) -Optimus* -Battery life with Optimus*

Cons: -Under load it gets loud and hot! -Hard to upgrade! -Bloatware!!! -Battery life without Optimus

Overall Review: I use it for designing mostly with programs like 3dMax, Revit, Photoshop etc.It's performance rocks but it won't replace a desktop!If you travel a lot or work on outdoors (with a electric plug of course since it's battery will hold for 3 hours at max) this will be a great choice you won't regret! I had a problem with customs and newegg was extremely helpful with my problem so I would like to thank newegg especially! *Update: It seems this laptop also have Optimus! You can enable it in bios settings! This can double the battery time! But to use it you have to disable G-Sync! I personally won't disable it but it's nice to have the option to do it!
