Pros and cons

According to our laptop expert
  • With a 12th generation Intel Core i7 processor, your laptop reaches higher performances and is more future-proof than with older generations.
  • Thanks to the NVIDIA GeForce MX550 video card, your photos and videos render faster and you can play light games like The Sims on this laptop.
  • The backlit keyboard ensures that you're less likely to make mistakes when you type in the dark.
  • If you design 3D projects, you need an Intel Core i9 or AMD Ryzen 9 processor and an RTX, Quadro, or RX video card.
  • A 17-inch laptop is larger and heavier than most laptops, which is why a smaller size is recommended if you often bring your laptop on the go.

Beautiful device that meets my expectations.

It was time for a new laptop, and this rascal just does what it promises; it runs nice and fast and my girlfriend can Sims carefree for a few hours without having to charge the battery.

Windows 11 takes a bit of getting used to, but it looks sleek and of course has little to do with the laptop itself.

  • Big screen

  • Mousepad makes ticking sound

I only tested the laptop briefly, just turned it on and tried some typing and mice. I was really looking for a gaming laptop with a large screen. Before this I had a laptop from work (another brand) and that was really a top thing, unfortunately it is no longer for sale for consumers. So this was my alternative! I must say: the laptop is certainly very large, the keyboard is very small in proportion, with super small keys, which could have taken up much more space. I didn't find the typing itself pleasant either, which is very personal of course, but the keys are quite flat and smooth. I found out that I prefer a black keyboard, especially because I deliberately chose a backlit keyboard. With a silver-colored keyboard you have little contrast, so the fact that it was backlit didn't help me much :-) The mousepad has integrated mouse buttons, so you don't see them loose. However, this was a bad execution, because with every type of mouse on the mousepad (even without using the invisible buttons) you heard a kind of ticking, the mousepad itself seemed to be kind of movable or loose because of these invisible buttons, very I found that disturbing. For myself, I found out that the laptop is too big for me to have on my lap, which I do regularly anyway, so I'm going back to a 15.6 inch screen anyway. I like a big screen for gaming, but it's not handy! Long story short: the 'content' of this Acer is completely up to date (i7 and deca core) and probably great for gaming (I only play Sims-like games), but too big for on my lap and in terms of typing and mice does not quite have the comfort I am looking for. Instead of ordering, I'm going to a store to see various models in real life, and so continue my search for a new laptop :-)
