18-12-2024Pésima computadora salió humo blanco y se quemó la tarjeta de video, prende y trabaja pero como una computadora normal no funciona la tarjeta de video, está trabajando con la tarjeta integrada. La envíe a reparar en otro lado ya que no tiene garantía. Nunca más me compraría acá o está marca.

> 3 dayMany people have complaints about the computer not working upon arrival. The quick start manual does cover the problem of putting in the power plug. You need to follow those simple directions. The complaints about the microphone or the headphone port not working are due to the default windows 11 software settings. You need to mess about with various settings to get them to work. This information should be in the startup guide. There is also a user manual that can be downloaded from Acer. The manual has some good points but needed to go into more depth. Some folks complain about the product being damaged in transit. The box that the computer comes in is of good quality (perhaps it has been recently improved).. The outer package (the one that Amazon provides) needs more protective foam or bubble wrap around the computer box. Some people complained in other reviews about the heat output from the computer -- it runs so hot that they needed a cooling mat. In normal operation the variable speed cooling fans (coolboost) seem to do a good job of handling the heat. However, if you are running computer calculation intensive programs you will need to look for a cooling mat. You can easily tell when the computer is getting too hot -- the cooling fans speed up and you can feel the heat coming out of the exhaust ports. In normal operation the computer draws about 65 watts and in heavy use it is less than 100 watts. ALERT: The coolboost software works for Windows 10 but as soon as you update to Windows 11 the software stops working. I called the Acer repair service and they said that the problem will be fixed in an update but that update is not going to be available until April. The power supply is a stepmode type and that is very good if you need to run your computer off the grid. The power supply works with voltages from 100VAC to 220 VAC and from 50 to 60 cps. The stepmode power supply can deal with the rather high total harmonic distortion (THD) produced by a standby generator. Overall, this 17 inch computer is well worth the price (($1199).

Greater than one weekSecond Acer I have owned. The last was good, but had heat problems, and they seem to have addressed this on their newer models. Runs great, fast retreaval, great for gaming so far. I also run a second Acer monitor on it for productivity when working. Works like a charm.

Greater than one weekHard to beat the price on this one. Has the new 12th gen I5 and the great NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU with 4GB of video memory. High speed WiFi 6. The screen has a 144GHz refresh rate, everything is crisp, clean and clear. Note that it isnt a touch screen. I tried it with some heavy-duty photo editing software, a few games, and a program I have that tests the Intel processor by pushing it. When my test program was at a peak, the noise level was exceptionally low, the cooling system was remarkably effective. I liked the keyboard, well-lit red leds, still have to figure out how to lower the light.

> 3 dayThe quality and feel of this laptop is definitely top notch, also the performance for gaming which is what it was intended for is great. Unfortunately the battery life is just horrible. I bought it as a Christmas present and Ive been told that it has to stay charged to the wall when in use because how has it depletes battery.

> 3 dayI bought the Nitro with 17 screen and Intel core i7 processor not as much for gaming, but as a very up to date everyday computer. I do play some games and watch loads of videos, and the video quality is fantastic. Sound is far superior than my last HP Pavilion laptop. I like the lighted keyboard, but normally turn off the back lights since I am not thrilled with the red colored keys with white back lighting. I plug in a separate lighted LED keyboard (where I can choose the key color and brightness). and mouse. For owners who are upset with the keyboard lights turning off so fast, you can set them to stay on longer in the computer settings or NitroSense window control setting.

> 3 dayA little low on memory, so I slapped an extra 500 GB SSD in it plus another stick of RAM. Performance has held up to my expectations. I always keep it plugged in, but I know gaming draws a boatload of power and would quickly kill the battery, so not recommended for battery-operated gaming.
