@@bluecollaredbill thank you very much. I am looking to get this as an upgrade from my surface book. Tried any external GPU with thunderbolt? I am looking to hook up to an AMD Radeon pro vii in external enclosure for fp64 compute and the laptop for general purpose.
@@manueljenkin95 I have not.. it is a very reliable tech. I would suggest in getting something newer if u can. Due to the power options this offers compared to other laptops. I play big map games and require more ram or something. It will get dirty though if you don’t keep your hands clean. But I like the ezel part very much. I wish other laptops could have that access.
@@bluecollaredbill thank you very much. The surface book next gen is supposed to have a design similar to the ezel part. I'll wait till the announcement and make a choice between the acer and surface. I am really interested in the ezel hinge, I really love the angle options it provides (posture issues with general laptops is a real thing). Surface is unlikely to have thunderbolt, and if it doesn't have external GPU option (atleast proprietary), I'll likely get the ezel with workstation CPU.
Does yours have a coil whine while idling? I have the exact same model and for some reason it stops the whine under load, think it’s the psu cus it still does it with gpu disabled
@@bluecollaredbill thanks for the quick response! i actually have the quadro rtx not the geforce, might be whining cus it s undervolting the psu... will look more into it
@@tudorstanescu1743 well that could be it, or those quadros are a little old style.... I wouldn't think it's a problem. Just tweak your power setting to each part. I made my cpu at 70% max power and now it never gets hot while i play the same games same quality. At 4k.. although my gpu dosnt have alot of ram which is 8gb. I can get 60 fps ultra settings throughout whole settings but keep my resolution render at 1080p for black ops cold war(and disable all ray tracing) . Still works just as fun. But if I switch to 4k render resolution on cold war, I get 24 fps idle. I'm still switching up the settings to get it to how I want for optimal gameplay. But I figured out that u don't have to make the cpu run at 95 degrees after I made the max power down to 70% I get about 60 degrees while playing same game at the same 4k settings. Just my video card is too lame for big games such as cold war black ops. Darn the 8gb video cars!!! Lol it's a portable laptop that's awesome....
@@bluecollaredbill yeah idk.. i've tried limiting the cpu and it's a bit quieter but i need full power for 3D rendering software :( pretty sad that my 3k+ laptop is advertised as 'completely silent' for digital artist, meanwhile i find myself waiting for the fans to turn on so they cover the more annoying noise of the coil whine. i'm arranging sending it to acer's service in the next few days
great taste in movies bro !
where can i buy one? i cant find tge rtx 5000 anywhere
They prolly stopped making em.
How long does the battery last and how loud is the fan?
I never hear the fans but a low woosh on heavy loads . Plus the battery is fine I never checked on it. I just keep it unplugged when Not in use.
Is it stable enough for not taking in the tablet like mode?
Yes very sturdy

Nope I don't hear anything in idle. It all sounds good to me .

Gift it to me 🥺

I like too much tho. I just need to get more comfy with it. With all the little space I have.
