Much worse than a Lenovo 5 17 from 1 year ago...

80W Geforce 3060  when maximum is 130w?

And even then cant stand the heat...

The monstrously low contrast 195:1, is this real?! Under the bulldozer such a laptop. Straightaway. Or under the replacement of the panel at the expense of Acer, as a natural factory fail.

Instead of the DDR5 4800, a DDR4 3200 is installed to the laptop, and even as usual is a poor optimized in BIOS. It seems to be necessary to immediately change it to DDR5, but it makes no sense - the laptop has a monstrous noise and it is simply impossible to play on it and do something with a large load. A shameful screen lost any desire to buy this "miracle".

Acer behaves like it is like - take the same TravelMate P2 line, which is made of the cheapest shameful plastic, they completely spit on the cooling system (they put the same at 14" and 15.6"), and the keyboard is dumb to respond (from An idiotic button of power directly in its layout!) And bends, like the screen cover. And this is a "business series"? To top it off to the spoiled Numpad, this is in the business of the series.. Well, thank you that at least 3 years of guarantees promise in some places for it..

It feels like people at Acer factories just need to pretend that they work, if only they were paid, they don't care for everything else.

There is a mistake on the warranty section, mentioning lenovo, on an acer product?

80W is low for a 3060gpu. display is trash. high temps. 512 gb ssd will fill up in one day.
get it for 1200 or less.
