I was looking to buy a new laptop for some time (have even asked your help), and finally I went with an Acer Nitro 5 . I got it 2 days ago and so far, I’m fully satisfied.
Specs:
Intel core i7 12650H (only goes to 4.0GHz due to thermals), an 150W RTX 3070ti (which does go to full 150W, no thermal issues there), a 1Tb SSD, 1440p 165Hz display that looks super good, 57Wh battery(yeah).
In setting up the laptop I did face some visual glitches when I installed Intel graphics drivers from Intel’s official website… Had to reinstall Acer drivers to fix it (weird). Otherwise no bugs. Even installed Linux. Got 4hrs battery life that way.
I tried running 3dMark Time spy and have added the results in the post. modern games are yet to test.
What do you guys think? Should I check anything else? Would you like to see something else running on it?
Time spy:
Yesterday I forgot to turn on the switch and played on battery without knowing for 30 minutes. Went from 100-60. The game was old enough so there weren’t any performance difference so didn’t notice
