Acer Predator Triton 700 PT715-51-71W9 User Review and Ratings

• I love it

  I actually bought this for the mechanical keyboard and its placement, as well as the amazing specs. As a developer I can tell a difference in how smoothly everything runs, no hiccups even when running multiple microservices , docker, intellij, all running at the same time.The sound was the biggest surprise, its immersive. The graphics are amazing but I usually just run Civ5 - even completely maxed out you can multi-task when its running. The laptop gets hot, but I havent noticed a different in temp when using a cooling pad so I think its hot in certain spots by design.The mouse - track pad thing, is pretty decent in a pinch. I almost never use a trackpad though - and honestly you couldnt use it for long periods of time.It's really been a delight so far, time will tell.Oh Linux Users BEWARE: Ive had 0 luck trying to dual boot Ubuntu so far, there is known problems with this. I have settled for Linux Subsystem - Ubuntu .

  This laptop is a true beast. The stats speak for themselves. Fast processor, powerful GPU, ready to play the most taxing games. I tested it with Fallout 4 and it was more than up to the task. (Note: I had to change Nvidia settings so V-sync was 60, otherwise the game ran too fast. This is a Fallout 4 issue, not a Predator issue). Yes, the fans get loud when the action (and the laptop) get hot, but that's to be expected. Put on some headphones and it won't be an issue. Or hook up some speakers. The screen is beautiful, the keyboard has nice mechanical tactile response. Click! Acer has truly outdone themselves with this beautiful laptop. Get a gaming mouse (the trackpad is just not going to do it for you, sorry) and get gaming!

• Beautiful, Powerful Laptop
  MHC (Sep 8, 2018) on Amazon
  This laptop is outstanding, there's no comparison to the previous laptops I have owned.It is also little heavier and bigger than those previous laptops, but it is also thinner.It has great sound, and a beautiful display, as well as a backlit keyboard, which is responsive and truly functional.We use the laptop for everyday computing, and also for gaming, having two avid gamers in our family.This laptop almost has it all! We're not crazy about the awkward location of the touchpad, although it does become easier to use over time. For gaming we use a gaming mouse. We also miss having a disc drive, and will be purchasing an external cd/dvd drive, as we travel a lot, especially internationally, and like to have some entertainment available.I think the high end components used to build this laptop tell the story of a wonderful, nearly perfect machine.

• 4 1/2 Stars for an Outstanding Laptop
  Book Fanatic (Aug 5, 2018) on Amazon
  This is really an outstanding, if expensive, laptop. I'm giving it 4 1/2 stars. I'm taking 1/2 a star off due to the ridiculous touchpad location and characteristics. As other reviewers have noted, placing the touchpad above the keyboard is an ergonomic disaster. I simply do not understand why this was done and suspect it has to be some engineering issue because otherwise no computer user would ever do this. Other than that however I can find nothing to complain about and many things to rave about. The speed is simply outstanding. The screen is exceptional. The keyboard is good and responsive. The fans are superb and quiet. Highly recommended if you can afford it.
