    Great price.

  • MattBrisSyd on 22/08/2019 - 10:34

    Well rounded laptop for a decent price. If i wasnt a desktop person, i'd jump on this.

    If the description is accurate for the screen:
    "15.6 FHD IPS display. Enjoy smooth, blur-free gameplay with a 144Hz refresh rate and a 3ms response time overdrive. We ve boosted the screen-to-body ratio to 80% with narrow 7.18mm bezels and provided lifelike colors using a 72% NTSC, 300-nit panel."

    This appears to be a review for the laptop (close enough):

    58.75 Wh battery

      I don't think that's the case for this specific model/SKU, I'd buy it assuming it has a regular 60hz screen. If you get lucky and it has a 144hz screen then you win.

  • Gravy Train on 22/08/2019 - 10:42

    Far out on the Bing Lee website it states the SKU has a 144Hz IPS screen. This is a really good price for the laptop then!

    Is this better than previous deal for dell G5 15 $999?
    Dell: i7-8750H Processor, 8GB ram, GTX 1060 6GB Max-Q, 128GB M.2 PCIe NVMe Solid State Drive + 1TB 5400RPM 2.5" SATA Hard Drive
    Screen both are ips.

    This Acer says slim bezel but from pictures it is very thick?

      I bought the dell G5 15 from the $999 deal and it is a pretty good laptop. This is about $300 more but it does have 256gb of NVMe SSD and also double the ram at 16gb. Not too sure about the graphics card performance but if you consider the extras, it seems to be reasonable price for the acer

        Same I got the Dell G5 15 Deal, I think it's a better deal for $999, came with Thunderbolt 3, this Acer doesn't have it.
        Also more people can purchase the Dell deal, I think it was 64, while this Acer quantity are limited.

          I see. Yes no Thunderbolt and no se card reader from review I read. But acer 1660 is way better than 1060

          • kml22 on 22/08/2019 - 11:44

            @CyberMurning: That's correct, but at $300 more..still a pretty good deal.

            • Canetoad on 22/08/2019 - 12:43

              @kml22: I also got the Dell G5 and I feel the urge to upgrade the RAM to 16GB at approximately $120 worth. I'm really happy with the Dell G5 though. I haven't used the Thunderbolt port yet, but it is nice to know it is there. No regrets here, it was the best deal at the time.

              • kml22 on 22/08/2019 - 13:59

                @Canetoad: You should check out the gaming benchmark, 8GB vs 16GB vs 32GB, it makes no difference in frame rate what so ever, maybe load a little bit faster that's it.

                • Canetoad on 22/08/2019 - 14:33

                  @kml22: Yes, agreed. Which is why I must fight the urge to buy it… There is this nagging feeling that I have to buy it to feel complete.

                  • jo32011 on 22/08/2019 - 15:18

                    @Canetoad: I upgraded the nvme ssd from 128gb to 512gb as it was running out of space. Might wait a while to upgrade the RAM, not urgent for me.

      Whats the failure mode for Acer laptops?
      I've had Toshiba, Samsung and Lenovo fail on me within 2 years as well

    • BaarOzGain on 22/08/2019 - 21:48

      Not sure under what type of usage, but I never had any bad experience with Acer. as a matter of fact when I bought a Gigabyte laptop and experienced lots of issues, with previous good experience with Acer bought a V-nitro Acer 4 years ago, gave it to my mum , brother bought a V-nitro and now I have another V-nitro 593G, none of us experienced any issues at all and all three are going strong. A laptop that lasts more that a year my mum using it I would consider a good one (lots of coffee spills, dropped 10 times, cracks everywhere, but still works :)))) )
      Having said that, never had Alienware as I cannot afford it…

    • Ramrunner on 23/08/2019 - 15:16

      Yeah I would have thought so but I sold 2 customers Nitros almost exactly 3 years ago and they're both still working great.

        Would u recommend getting the 2 year additional warranty? It's approx 229$

        • Ramrunner on 25/08/2019 - 10:23

          Me personally, no. I did buy a 3 year on-site warranty with an Asus UX31A once, but they had a special at $99 and the UX31A was the first of the Zenbook line so I was a bit weary (didn't need to be still going!!!)

          If it's a MANUFACTURER warranty it is worth considering but my experience is that mostly it's the Hard Disk that fails in notebooks (not so much of a problem now that SSD is the order of the day) and in the old days notebooks with discreet graphics used to fail eventually as well.

          But, hey, it's peace of mind I guess. If you can afford it without stress, why not?

          Do I think you need it? No, but then you'll be upset if something DOES happen withing 3 years with the notebook.

          :)

      Hows it compare to that other $999 deal that people are mentioning?

      • CyberMurning on 22/08/2019 - 23:19

        You mean the 999 dell? Read from the top you'll find it

        • Blitzfx on 22/08/2019 - 23:34
          -2

          Did you buy the $999? what was your conclusion from that discussion?
          Looks like NVMe 128gb are like $70, and 256gb are $120, so $50 diff
          8GB DDR4 SODIMM sticks are $70 , 16GB DDR4 SODIMM are $130, so $60 diff

          Means there's about ~$200 difference for the GPU and extras. Seems a tad pricey for a relatively minor upgrade in GPU?
