Overview

Pushing frames to a fast IPS panel, this Acer gaming laptop pairs a mobile Intel processor with a current RTX graphics chip and a fast SSD. It connects over Wi-Fi, Ethernet, HDMI and USB-C with Thunderbolt.

The refresh rate and graphics chip are chosen for popular titles at the native resolution, and the Thunderbolt port opens up fast external storage and displays. A large adapter and battery come in the box. The screen brightness and the memory ceiling are the weak spots.

Who it's for

Players of mainstream games and students who use the laptop for coursework too will get a balanced machine. Video editors and anyone planning a large memory upgrade have a lower ceiling here.
