Is Acer A Good Laptop Brand For Gaming

I purchased this for my Acer Predator Helios 500 gaming laptop and it works perfectly! It arrived early and was easy to install. *Tip* - you can find easy installation instructions available online at crucial.com. I highly recommend this product and, moreover, B&H as a seller. Great product with quick and easy service!

I believe Acer is one of the best values in laptops. But with value comes some compromises. For this purchase, I was just looking at raw specifications and wanted top-of-the-line or near-top for a 16 gaming laptop. (I was fine with a 13th gen Intel CPU b/c there really isn't any meaningful improvement to the 14th gen, so buying a laptop that has been out for a year is an even better way to save money). This laptop has fantastic performance - I use it to game and for video/audio editing via Premiere. I can run any game I care to play at max settings. The screen is surprisingly vibrant, even though it's not the mini-led. Be aware that battery life for this laptop (and most upper-end gaming laptops in general) is pretty atrocious (2, MAYBE 3 hours under light usage). If you plan to do anything processor/GPU intensive on battery alone..., it's not going to happen. This laptop is happiest being plugged in and acting as a desktop replacement more than a true laptop that you're going to carry around all the time. I love it because I can take it with me when I travel and have an awesome machine with a small(er) footprint. This laptop isn't the most quiet (the fans can get pretty raucous), it isn't the best-looking, and doesn't have the best thermals, but it is, in my opinion, a great buy at a very reasonable price if you understand what these types of machines are like.

This is my second Acer Laptop and this time direct online purchase from B & H. The advantages i felt after using for 1 month 1. Light, sleek laptop ( Major adv) 2. Good Full HD Screen Quality 3. Good quality web camera 4. Battery power good ( sort of 7+ hrs) 5. Being SSD dirve, fast Bootup and load applications with blink of a eye. 6. The overall build quality is very good. I wont find any major drawback, but would say that Speakers could have been slightly better. Also received Laptop with carryin pouch and free 1 Anti Virus program. A feel good factor.. Packing was good. Definitely recommended a Buy and that too from B& H...

Purchased this laptop to replace a 3 year old Acer Aspire 3 that I needed for other uses. The Acers seem to have a good balance of features for our everyday home use. Setting side by side, this one has a notable sharper image than the Aspire 3. Sound quality is good for a laptop. The illuminated keypad is nice but it doesn't light up the characters on the keys for us guys that need to see them in the dark. Had some bloatware installed but not too bad. Probably the only con that we noticed is that the battery life doesn't seem as good as the Aspire 3. Not a big deal for home use but maybe a consideration for someone who needs to commute with it... Overall we are very happy with this laptop.

Acer Predator Helios 16 with i7-13700hx and Rtx 4070 with the 240hz gsync ips panel is the most amazing machine we’ve ever had as this thing truly is Superb in every way from build quality, performance, graphics, cooling, and the display is incredible…… I can’t say enough good that’s about this system, and also B&H photo provided a very good price on Cyber Monday that was unbeatable for this specific model, and they had fast shipping, and everything was brand new sealed in the box. The only issue is the outer shipping box was barely taped up, and it was loose, and partially opened but thankfully the laptop itself was not damaged, and the Acer box inside the box which contained the laptop was also in excellent condition which is why I’m not gonna take off a star on my review, and instead I’ll simply use it as constructive criticism in the hopes that B&H photo can go step farther with better packaging, and protection for shipping. Overall 5 stars but that’s only because that’s the max I could rate it but if there was more stars I’d definitely rate it the highest as B&H photo is very legit, and shipped US an Excellent Product !!

Bought this to add to my Acer laptop, and it works just like it's supposed to. Recommended!

I installed the 2 Crucial memories in my ACER laptop and everything works fine up to now.

This Gaming Laptop is a solid choice for those who appreciate a machine that balances performance with practicality. It's equipped with Intel i7 ensuring that it can handle the demands of the latest games and multitasking with ease. The 4050 GPU delivers crisp, clear graphics, making every gaming session a visual treat. The Onyx Gray finish gives it a mature, sophisticated look, while the 15-inch display offers a generous view of your digital endeavors. It's a bit on the heavier side, but that's a small price to pay for a laptop that's as reliable as it is powerful. Whether you're gaming, working, or both, this laptop is a dependable partner for the long haul.

very quite and keeps my gaming laptop running cool.
