Acer Predator Triton 500 PT515-52-73L3 Gaming Laptop, Intel i7-10750H, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER, 15.6" FHD NVIDIA G-SYNC Display, 300Hz, 16GB Dual-Channel DDR4, 512GB NVMe SSD, RGB Backlit KB

I just got my Triton 500 yesterday (with the 2070 Super, couldn't afford to go higher). I have to say this thing is incredible! I've been searching for a gaming laptop for awhile, and tried just about every one. This gaming PC has won the competition! It games like a dream. I can't believe it's a laptop! It games the same as my desktop PC, if not better.The battery lasts way too long for a gaming laptop. 6 hours with the NVIDIA GPU engaged is insane (youtube and Amazon Video).Everything is engineered way too smooth with too many choices (GPU choice toggle/coolboost/Preset Overclocking/etc etc etc). Every time I look for an option to change it's already thought of, and done correctly.Even the design is beyond beautiful. The RGB is insane! This laptop screams elite gamer, but also dignified and classy at the same time.Also, I have a unique heat issue. I have burn damage to my hands so I can't use a laptop where the surface temp gets too hot (G14 sole my hands up for days). I can't get my Triton 500 to get hot. The surface temp is nice and cool, and even the GPU hasn't gone over 75 degrees C even on CoD warzone with maximum settings.Performance has been incredible. I've been maxing out warzone in every way I can imagine trying to get this laptop to reach a limit. It hasn't yet. The 300Hz refresh rate is a game changer. I went from 2-3 kills a game to around 6 just by being able to see them before they see me.Thank you all for your hard work in designing a dream machine Acer. I don't usually pull this hard for a product, but for the first time in years I'm beyond impressed! It's so rare to see a product intentionally designed as a masterpiece, and Acer has done it! I've never tried an Acer laptop before, but I've instantly changed my status to Fanboy!

The media could not be loaded. I ordered this laptop for gaming and school work the amount of effort acer put into this laptop is amazing, the temps are literally the coldest on the market I'm using the auto fan preset and I get a solid 120fps on minecraft rtx with turbo I can achieve 160fps but the fan is louder then an airplane, the screen had no backblight bleed and I measured the panels response time with overdrive I managed to achieve 2.47ms on average with 300hz running on gpu mode aka g sync, the battery life on this unit is amazing with optimus running on 60hz at 60% brightness, I recently got it today so I'm not done testing but it's still 74% by just browsing on chrome watching things on youtube (fortnite montages) and (anime) also, I went on microsoft teams did some stuff and also reddit, I don't know why but the colors were higher then normal the brightness I measured was 367 nits which is good for a gaming laptop 101% srgb with 81% adobergb and 83% p3 with a contrast ratio of 1250:1. Overall if your going for any gaming laptop this is the thing to go one consequence is the wrist wrest space see the video for yourself, if you own any razer gaming mice you will know this is small, personally I would find this a benefit since I can't tuck my chair under my table so I'm not sitting too far away from the laptop

3 Years after purchase, i7 10750H/2070s (ti)I would give this a 9/10 if I could but going to round down. If you can repair laptops, this is a 5/5 or 10/10.Build quality decent to great, fans failed around after the first year of ludicrously heavy use (6+ hours a day, constantly.) Repair wasn't too bad but definitely an expert to intermediate level task. Keyboard lettering on wasd faded around the 15 month mark, not too big of an issue. One LED has failed, right shift, just the red part of it too. Everything else still functions fine. Feels good, able to play keyboard smashers without much issue, shouldn't even be a concern for the 99% of people who don't play rhythm. Case is stiff and metal, the entire thing feels solid, but will heat up on extended sessions. Gets noticeably warm and uncomfortable if there's no airflow in the room. Ceiling fan or desk fan nullifies the issue fairly well.Thermals can keep up provided you have a good, flat surface to let the fans breathe. Definitely cant keep up with new AAA on the 300hz max, but everything I've tried has ran 120/144 with no issues on high. The 300 is a godsend for rhythm games and similar though. I had success using an unpowered laptop cooler as a medium between the laptop and wherever it was, kept the fans nice and fed without too much extra bulk. No dead pixels on arrival and none have appeared so far.Remember you need to swap the GPU in bios to discrete only if you want gsync to work (this is why its set this way from factory btw). Battery life is awful, less than an hour in some cases with everything set to gamer mode. HOWEVER, drop the screen to 60hz, go into bios and set it to igpu only, and it turns into quite a nice ultrabook with 6-8ish hours of battery life provided the screen brightness is sensible. The thermals also calm down to the point one can comfortably run through the entire battery life on lap without getting too warm.Overall a good machine and one I have no regrets about purchasing. Upgrading the ram and storage means removing the motherboard though, so either spec it out proper or watch a yt video and see if you feel confident diy. Another important note is the power connector inst soldered straight to the motherboard, and its an easy enough repair anyone who can get the back off without breaking the case could do it. Charger is also a 90 bend on the laptop side, very nice for extended usage.

Best investment I have ever made. Every program I need runs excellently, and I love the different speed and heat settings. I could even modify the startup very easily, and it was extremely easy and fast to set up. Very quiet on low speed, too, even after a year. Amazing stuff, and great battery life which rarely ever falls short.
