People Review :


1) 1. Really good for gaming
(With basic settings I changed nothing not in Nvidia control panel neither in game graphics just updated the Nvidia driver )
> GTA V
30-31 fps on battery power
59-63 fps when connected to charger
> Witcher 3 wild hunt
30 - 31 fps on battery power
60-61 fps when connected to charger
And all these fps's were without even a single drop , not even once
2. Good speakers with Dolby audio great
3. Can customize the battery usage , performance , display and everything
4. Select which apps use Intel graphics or nvidia's graphic card
5. Turns completely on from off in 9-11 seconds ( because windows is installed on SSD )
6. Backlit great looks really amazing like burning coals
7. U can control the fan speed(not just on off but literally their rpm in nitro sense) by yourself
8. Great viewing angles
9. Shows dslr images really great
10. Fully charged laptop's battery goes on for 3-4 hours with normal usage(not playing games or using nvidia's gpu) no battery saving mode or anything
11. SSD(128gb) + HDD(1 TB)

Cons
1. The keyboard stays lit only for 30 seconds if left idle when not charging ( lights up again when u press any key but only again for 30 seconds only) but when charging it stays lit all the time and u cannot change the timeout of keyboard it stays 30 sec .
2 . It gets hot when playing games but I think that's a given for laptops but the main issue with temp is that fan's noise becomes audible ( not that much but it does become audible) so I use headphones while playing games .
3. It is heavy so whenever u hold it , hold it properly
4. Nearly 1 hour battery backup while playing games
5. Has plastic body
6. Keyboard lights cannot change color only red but that looks great by itself

I would have posted photos but my phone's camera is broken .
And i know this is very long but when I was bying laptop I really wished that someone would have written an in depth review telling me everything so I won't have any second thoughts after purchasing it .

2) First of all Packaging was great and delivery was on time (5/5) for delivery
Let me confirm the specifications;
Coming to storage you will get 1Tb Hardisk bundled with 128 gb of ssd which works great windows just boots up in 5-10 sec. i5 8gen which is great and even Better Than i7 7 gen,And coming to graphic card the baap of all ofcourse at this price range the nvidia gtx 1050ti works like a charm giving constant 50-60fps in pubg pc at high settings,Fortnite and csgo giving 120-150 fps easily at epic-high settings will be updating after playing more games,Coming to thermals the cpu temp touches around 90 after 1-2hours of gaming else for normal work it remains constant at 40 degree celcius.
Battery life is decent upto 3-4 hours for normal usage which is good since its an gaming laptop and i recommend playing games with charger pluged in since it gives better fps as compared to on battery gaming and also battery life wont be that good too while gaming it may last till 1-2 hours
Overall Quite Happy With the purchase Thx Amazon ;)

3) People have already mentioned pros and cons on various websites. I will mention something which you wouldn't find easily on the web.
"SWITCH OFF THE TURBO BOOST MODE" this is very essential as most the gaming laptops are factory set to turbo boost if Cpu and GPU are under heavy load while gaming. So if your primary purpose is to play games and do casual stuff, I would highly recommend you to go in the power options in setting and decrease the CPU processing power from 100% to 99 or 98%. This will do two things: first, your laptop will never heat up or throttle (mine never goes beyond 81C under high load) and second, it will increase your battery life, chip life etc. I also thank the retailer for providing a brushed carbon fiber body instead of boring metal finish one. Great job amazon. Got this product under 57k.

4)Purchased this during the Amazon Great Indian festival at effective price of 53K.
The laptop arrived next day and was in perfectly sealed condition and has all stickers mentioning the details. For all who are sceptical that specs are not clear this product is listed in Acer India website and the buy now link redirects to this listing.
Model Name: AN515-52-57WR
Part Number: NH.Q3LSI.008

Have tested all the components to make sure the laptop delivered matches the specifications and am really happy that everything is perfect as per the listing. Latest generation coffee lake i5 processor with 128gb ssd and 4gb 1050 TI graphics at 53k is the best deal.

5)This is my first gaming laptop. I had been purchasing consoles throughout my life for gaming. Amazon packaging is great as always with faster delivery options which is even better.

I would suggest if you can upgrade the RAM by another 8 GB to make it 16 GB dual channel would see a significant increase in the FPS for all games. Upgrading the memory is simple and easy.

I tested Gears of War 4 - High settings - 55 to 62 FPS, Ultra settings - 40 to 48 FPS

I tested The Division - High settings - 45 to 54 FPS, Ultra settings - 35 to 42 FPS, Medium settings - 57 to 64 FPS

This GPU is very capable of playing most of the games on Medium and High Settings. Like I said if you increase the RAM by another 8 GB will boost the overall performance of your gaming.
