JB Hi-Fi have even further dropped their price for this gaming machine (Down from $2699). It is available online only and shipping starts from $9.99.
I think it's the best price for a gaming laptop with this spec.
I have had Acer V Nitro 571 and currently have 592 and I am quite happy with it, very good build quality. Some reviews say it may overheat under heavy load.
Kogan have a similar 593g model (Less ram, less ssd, weaker graphic) for $2,250.22

    I’ve read and reread those specs. Some of them are astonishing.

      I'm guessing you're mainly referring to the amount of RAM it has?

        The capacity of the SSD is great for the price as well, but yea, mostly the RAM.

      • [Deactivated] on 22/02/2018 - 14:39

        16gigs is insane.

        Edit: it’s 32!

        I read a review that had it as 16.

        • Viper8 on 22/02/2018 - 15:05

          16GB isn't insane. All performance laptops come as standard with 16GB these days (both gaming and "performance"-spec business grade).
          Both at home (just a casual gamer and browser) and at work (lot of multi-tasking with specialist software) I sit on 6-10GB usage with spikes beyond that, and the remainder is always in use as cache. It's not uncommon for me to be sitting on 8GB without even loading up a game or specialist software, and no I don't keep 999 Chrome tabs open.

          For some really specialist stuff I've got a work PC with 64GB RAM, which still isn't enough: I have to rely on the page file on the SSD to get me all the way up to 256GB of memory. :)

        "Just".
        Yea show me a laptop that doesn't have an external cooling solution, weighs under 3kg and is under 3cm thick that can actually fully utilize anything over a 1060. Laptops simply cannot shed that much heat, even with 3 fans.
        Anyway, its a 1080p screen, you don't need anything more than a 1060.

        • syousef on 22/02/2018 - 12:24

          If you want decent graphics then deal with the larger form factor.
          If you want a lightweight all purpose machine, you don't need anything with 32GB RAM!!!

    How does this compare to the dell gaming laptop? https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/360366

    I just purchased the dell which is yet to arrive. Would the Dell be worth returning for this laptop?

    • sky blu on 22/02/2018 - 00:34
      +3

      On specs alone, this Acer beats the Dell hands down. I'd say the Dell has reasonably better quality build than the Acer.

      You just need to think if it is worth the upgrade to i7. Storage and memory are great but if the Dell satisfies your requirements (a gaming laptop) then the Acer probably isn't worth the extra money.

    • qtntom on 22/02/2018 - 00:40

      im in the same boat. however I think 32gb RAM is overkill. i7 is the only thing worth upgrading for, but Im not willing to pay the price difference so i'll pass

    • qtntom on 22/02/2018 - 00:41

      also I think heat is gonna be an issue and im quite comfortable with the look of the Dell grill

    • doomknight20 on 22/02/2018 - 02:37

      Not trying to frighten you guys but.. I just received my dell 7577 model that was on sale the last time. Totally disappointed with it. After spending $1350, it came with a back plastic lid that was uneven and with missing clips so some parts of it wobble. The first hour i managed to load some stuff and uninstall the bloatware but after that, the laptop stop booting up, the screen starts freezing and starts glitching. I have videos of it and i spend the afternoon speaking with a Dell customer care service. In the end, I decided to return the laptop after owning it for less than 12 hours. This could be just pure bad luck and one bad apple since majority of ppl say is great. But not on my end. I hope i get my refund and will probably find another laptop. If u want the videos of the glitches and pics of the uneven surface, i'll be happy to send it to you.

      • noshopping on 22/02/2018 - 07:05

        I'd have to agree. Dell laptops aren't what they use to. I bought an XPS 17" 7yrs ago and it developed problems 3yrs in. Then last year I spent nearly $3k buying latest specced XPS 15 and immediately had screen touch issues, wifi random disconnects. Meanwhile my other Apple + Asus laptop has been running without hiccups.

    • FormulaWon on 22/02/2018 - 08:45

      Dell for looks and build quality (doesn't overkill the gamer aesthetic), but if you want the best performance this is a really fantastic deal. I was looking around myself for a laptop and looked at both in real life, and like the previous gen Dell Inspiron gamings the screen on the Acer is far, far better than the Dell, which was a reason I actually returned my Dell Inspiron 7567.

  • Bernbaum on 22/02/2018 - 00:26

    Great specs for that price

  • jamver on 22/02/2018 - 00:41

    That's a great deal!

    Don't forget to buy discounted gift cards when purchasing.

    My RACQ membership saves me 6%, bringing this $1606.55 delivered.

    I'm very tempted – it's a half decent upgrade from my old Lenovo W541 mobile workstation (i7-4810QM, 32GB, 2x 512GB SSD, Nvidia Quadro K2000M) and would mean I could seriously try modern VR – and it's only 40% the price!

        Off the top of your head do you know what temps your CPU and GPU reached during heavy loads? Every review on this basically mentions it has the worst thermal control.

    +2

    The Acer Aspire 7 A717-71G-767X 17.3" i7 Laptop might be better (if size isn't a concern), as it likely better handles the head issue (the 17" varieties seemed to not throttle GPU and CPU at high loads, though were still very/too hot to touch).

    What I don't get is why bother with the USB 2.0 ports, it's 2018 not 1998 anymore. My 5 year old ASUS Rog has all USB 3.0s

    • jamver on 22/02/2018 - 01:50
      +1

      It also has a 3.1 port, and how many high speed devices do you need connected at once? If lots, just plug in a USB-C to multiport 3.0 hub!

      If maximum performance is your goal, based on reviews of Acer 15” vs 17” cooling systems, the 17” is the one to get, if you can stomach the larger form factor)

      If money is no object, pay more for RoG or Predator models with similar specs or wait until they too drop to this level.

      • DannyBoy on 22/02/2018 - 02:16

        I'm just curious as to why they still use it, it's been superseded by not 1 but multiple speeds.
        Just like how they don't produce just a plain CD drive anymore it's either Blu-ray or DVD and the are all backward compatible

        • nothommus on 22/02/2018 - 06:11

          Because it’s cheap, and USB keyboards, mice, many other things don’t need 3.1s speed.

  • Wayne44 on 22/02/2018 - 01:44

    Great specs but in my experience anything outside of the predator range from Acer has proved to have the worst QC, so just be cautious.

    • syousef on 22/02/2018 - 07:03

      I wouldn't say that. I'm sure they have made some stinkers but I bought my wife and kids a decent Acer laptop for $500. And the one before that was an Acer too - only issue with that one was keys broken on the crappy keyboard. It's in our bedroom as our media PC now.

    • [Deactivated] on 22/02/2018 - 09:12

      I reckon the same can be said for most other brands though, you're never going to get the same QC for less expensive product lines/series. Also an interesting fact is that most laptops actually come out of the same factories (ODM).

  • kyletachibana on 22/02/2018 - 04:48

    i have a nitro 17 inch, and it is a pain to upgrade the hdd and ram. you will have to unscrew how many screws then take the whole bottom lid off. i did it once and it gave me such a trauma that i wouldn't dare do it again and i put up with hdd until now.
    there is 1 hdd and 1 empty m2 socket. you will have to buy a more expensive m2 ssd if you want ssd unless you replace the hdd with ssd but a few years ago it wasn't practical - small capacity and expensive.
    and from my memory, the m2 socket is on the other side of the motherboard, so

    first, you will have to disconnect two small flat data cables (1 for the keyboard the other for the backlit), re connecting those was a disastrous experience without tools - by your fat fingers only.
    second, you need to unscrew some more screws to take off the whole motherboard to reach the m2

    i gave up here - after removing a few screws, the motherboard wasn't moving, i had already exlpored too far, i didn't want to break my then newly bought laptop so i quit.

    of course this one has 512gb ssd so you might not need to upgrade anything but i will just let you know

    • Hellfire on 22/02/2018 - 07:52

      I have the 256GB version of the 15.6" Nitro and it's dead easy to add an extra HDD/SSD. Unscrewing 10 screws is hardly a difficult task. The RAM is under the keyword so that's more difficult but no needed in this case.

      What do you need 8th gen for?
      This already has a high-power quad-core. The 8th gen's out atm are only the U series. Despite now having 4 cores they have considerably less power and throttle down much harder. The 7700HQ is superior for performance.

    • [Deactivated] on 22/02/2018 - 11:58

      I'm interested to see the performance of i7-8700HQ. But for now the 7700HQ still beats the 8th gen U series in terms of performance.

  • DezmolishA on 22/02/2018 - 09:44
    +2

    I have an older version Nitro (960, i7 etc), and I’m going to assume they’re quite similar when I say this. When I bought it I was aware that the track pad was not great, the cooling was sub par and the laptop case itself was average at best. Which more than likely is the reason that they are so cheap in comparison to other builds. I spend a large portion of my time using this as a desktop with a $20 coolermaster fan underneath it because it does run extremely hot without it under heavier workloads.

    In saying all of that, I am in no way disappointed, you pay for exactly what you get and if you’re conscious of that it’s great!

    • ATangk on 22/02/2018 - 13:40

      I always forget the trackpad is quite important. That’s part of the reason why I love the surface pro keyboards and any other trackpad which is similarly built.

      • DezmolishA on 22/02/2018 - 16:05

        As it’s gaming focussing it’s not necessarily a deal breaker but it’s still important for when you’re not using a mouse! I haven’t tried a surface pro so I can’t comment though.

        Yeah I've been thinking about getting a Gigabyte Aero 15 to replace my old 2014 gt70 since it has the pre-calibrated display, but it even that just scrapes over 90% sRGB coverage, and unless you're willing to go 4k (on a 15" screen? why?) or risk off angle discolouration with a TN panel there's not a lot out there.. This has not quite so nice a screen as the Aero, but it's now almost half the damn price I'm sorely tempted.. :/

        • Will Mcdonald on 26/02/2018 - 00:34

          @Kooka69:Just search "marvo fn-30", Amazon sells it. The Extra USB replaces the usb port you use from your laptop to the cooling pad. If you do plug a usb into it, take into account that there will be reduced current across the port reducing data rate transfers.

    I told my friends to get on it at the same time but it's been removed from the jb site.

      Hey mate. How did you get another $40 off?

    Any chance someone could post their receipt so I could try to claim it instore?

      Youd only be able to find floor stock by now, and by rights they should do those for that price

    Anyone who missed out can get your local jb to transfer stock. I just got one transferred from I think it was Bankstown for the same price.

    Anyone knows it come with 32bit or 64bit ?

      I don't think 32bit is really a thing anymore, anyway, if it's more than 4GB of ram it has to be 64bit cause 32bit only supports max 4GB.
