Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Was excited to get a Predator with the 1070 card. Very heavy but nice laptop. Would not charge or run off battery. Sent back to Amazon for replacement. Acer wanted me to pay shipping for the repair. Not for this beast I'm not. I will update once the replacement gets here. **Update: 11/3/16 Replacement came in and runs great. I am pretty happy with this laptop. The only exception is that the 256GB SSD are two crappy 128GB Lite ON SATAs in RAID 0. Some review websites had NVME Toshiba drives in the first slot and the second slot open. I was looking forward to being able to add a second M.2 SSD for extra capacity. Pretty much a bait and switch from ACER. I understand that this is pretty common for review models vs what actually is sold. I am leaving at 3 stars for that reason alone. Everything else is good. Battery life is decent even for a gsync panel. About 4-5 hrs for general use. Haven't tried gaming, but expecting 1-2 hrs max. Screen is nice. 1080p nice and bright with no bleeding. While it is G-SYNC, it is only 60Hz and I was only able to overclock the panel to 65Hz before running into issues. One nice feature is that even though the CPU is not over-clockable (by a novice at least), the GPU can be overclocked with built in ACER software. No benchmarks worth sharing yet (because I planned on putting all my games on the second M.2 ssd that I now realize I have no room for. Mixed bag of emotions right now. I do like that laptop, but feel duped into thinking I was getting an NVME Toshiba 256GB drive and an open slot when I got two crappy 128GB Lite On drives with no expansion room. *** Final update Well left button in the trackpad lost spring and started sticking an hour in. I wanted to like this computer, but QC is an obvious issue with this batch. Sending back for refund. Maybe I will try Alienware.
