Review: Great Laptop - Update: After more than 6 months of use this laptop is surprisingly good. No complaints on my model (R5+RX 560X) Some reviews mention lag, this is a very easy fix. Step 1: Update drivers, use DDU if necessary ( google it) Step 2: In Radeon Settings - System - Switchable Graphics - For each game you run make sure High Performance is selected. (You will need to enter the game and then exit to register in the list for you to change) Additionaly Windows 10 will try to force power saving on your gaming laptop. To stop that go to Power Options - Change plan settings - Select Switchable Dynamic Graphics and make sure Maximise Performance is selected. In the same list there's AMD Power Play Settings - Maximise those as well. Yes you're battery life will take a hit but you bought a gaming laptop so what did you expect? :) -End of Update- This is an excellent laptop for work and play. The AMD Ryzen quad core processor is fast enough to handle any task with ease. It's a very efficient processor that does not consume lots of battery power, as it's rated for 15W TDP. Battery life is quite good. The dedicated graphics card is an AMD RX560X and it performs very well in most games at 1080p medium. I'm really happy with the performance so far. All the games I play run very smoothly and look excellent on the IPS Full HD screen. This graphics card is comparable to a GTX 1050 if you're wondering. The laptop comes with an M.2 SSD for the operating system and it does the job just fine. There's also a standard 1TB HDD for lots of storage. I would always recommend you have and SSD for the operating system as it makes things so much faster. In therms of RAM it comes with 8GB (4GBx2) dual channel which is excellent. In terms of performance, this allows you to run multiple apps in the same time, you can game, alt-tab to browsing, listening to musing, download stuff all in the same time as windows harassing you for an update. By comparison, a system with only 4GB single channel would be crippled trying to do all of that. Overall this is an excellent laptop, with fantastic performance. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to work and play games. PS: Highly recommended if you get the laptop on offer :P
Review: super laggy - I never write complaints or product reviews, like ever. But for £650 I must warn you all to stay away from this product. I've had it for 3 months now and at the moment I cant even play games as simple as minecraft without experiencing lag spikes and FPS drops. CSGO is impossible with horrendous lag spikes every 2-3 minutes. Even FIFA 19, I had horrendous lag issues playing on single player - I managed to get rid of it by installing the latest graphics drive update and uninstalling and reinstalling a few times but jesus, for £650 I shouldn't have to be dealing with these issues. My old laptop, which is a generic school laptop, never had any sort of issues with games as simple as minecraft so I dont understand why this gaming notebook has so many issues with so many games. Do not get this laptop.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best laptop ever, but...
*by C***F on 29 December 2019*

I love this machine. It is really good for what I need it for - games development. It has enough grunt to have replaced my laptop. but I would not be able to stand the noise level if it was used for things like watching movies or similar. Gaming is of course ok, as it expects you to wear headphones. But for gamers beware that the lighting underneath the keys is insufficient to light up the letters on the keyboard. so typing and gaming in the dark is not an option with this machine. It runs most games, it is good quality, it keeps cool well and I even like the keyboard, although spending 30 quid on an external one made sense for me. I added a second SSD without issues and the RAM is maxed out at 16GB. I have abused it now for over a year, and it is running perfectly. Like with all Acers the track pat sucks, and will break soon. A mouse or track-ball might be a good additon.
