Going for under £600 in the UK. I bought this to replace my last Acer work laptop which had an i5-6200u and intel iris 520 graphics. The work I normally need to do on my laptop it breezes through, even running my second display and multiple excel and Access windows open. I'm playing league, Dota, Warframe, and Crossout all to an acceptable standard and Frame rate for me. So all good on such a well priced laptop. And at the moment the i5 with 1050 ti variant is £200 more here which was well outside of my budget.

I bought this and had nothing but trouble with it, not sure what it is as I've done diagnostic and also had so called experts look at it and they can't figure out what's wrong with it, I love the design of it and when it does finally sort of work it's OK, I don't use it for gaming, just editing, I've bought a 2Tb M.2 SSD for it so will have everything transferred to that. Oh and I've even put 32gig of Ram in it, tried 6 different types. Still have problems. Might have to just get a new one but will go with Intel next time round. Thanks for the video.

I'd get the i5/1050, CPU is better as shown, graphics are almost the same though, perhaps a slight edge to the 1050. The HDD will be crap, but you do have the option of changing that in future at least, can't change the CPU/GPU ever without buying a new laptop so generally best to get the best you can.

To be honest I haven't tested that many around that price, this is the only one, so it's what I usually end up suggesting when people ask for something at that price point. $700 will unfortunately not get you something super powerful, I consider GTX 1060 graphics and i5-8300H a great combination for playing all modern games at 1080p 60 FPS with high settings, but those kind of specs probably go for more like $900-1000.

What i can guess happened was that the AMD driver installation somewhat "nuked" my drivers in so bad ways that now system does not even know touchpad exist, not even device manager sees it. Upon GPUdriver installation it did ask me if i want default install or to keep my setting. I had none but still decided to check the clean install. This propably cause my whole problem.

gotta consider, AMD is 1/10th the size of intel alone, and they're the only competitor to intel AND nvidia. its great they made mobile chips but they dont have time or money to do drivers before the chip so there's going to be growing pains. also, this is a U series chip, so im impressed it even comes that close to an intel H chip. should probably compare this more to the 8250u or 8550u from intel. the real mistake here was Acer's marketing and general theme of this laptop, yes it can game, but thats not the focus of a U series chip even with decent graphics

For anyone who has this (or similar) model you can overclock the display! The LG panel shipped with it overclocks well over 60hz, sometimes even up to 100hz while still retaining colors and native resolution. It also supports freesync but is disabled by default, so if you have a 560x model you can enable it as well with a range of 33-99 which also enables low framerate compensation! All you need is Custom Resolution Utility!

@@JarrodsTech I'll tell you my story. I bought a Dell Inspiron less than a year ago. On the sixth day, it crashed...like the hard drive stopped working all of a sudden. I called them up(the store where I bought it from). They told me to come back with the laptop. They had a good look at it and then plainly told me to get it fixed from a service centre. They didn't replace it, and they didn't take it back(even though it couldn't work for a week), just gave me an address and told me to take it there and they'll replace the drive for me. So after waiting for almost two hours, they got it working again, and just to be sure I asked them if the other hardware components (motherboard, monitor etc) won't give me problems like the hard drive did. They told me that it won't. Now technically it's working up till now but for a computer that's got 8 gigabytes of RAM, with 4 gigabytes of dedicated VRAM. It lags like crazy. In my opinion, it never really did get fixed.

I bought this laptop at Best Buy yesterday. It did not perform very well out of the box, but once I upgraded the drivers online, it played my favorite game very nicely. I kind of think it should have been ready for running games at an above low settings out of the box, but if I can get it to work, anyone can since I am not tech suavy. The game I play is old, so I was initially disappointed that I could not play it at high settings. Now, after upgrades, plays Direct 11 able games smoothly at very high settings.

Hey Jarrod, I would like to take a moment here and write something about your presentation. It is just my personal take and I hope you'd find it helpful. First off, the presentation was intense. The panning camera, the quietness, smoothness and stillness of the video (and audio) was professional and clean. You have covered some great distance when it comes to talking about a product, never had I ever seen such an intense review before. It was rigorous. That makes it the strength of your video/presentation. Having said that, the same strength doesn't take long to weigh itself down after a few minutes into the video. The video was like a catalogue being read out and portrayed. As opposed to the art of expression, to keep the audience engaged and informed, to help them understand things better and reach a conclusion by seeing the content from the eyes of creator. Although you've made great efforts to put (possibly) everything under the microscope, but still the element of entertainment was missing there. If only a few corners could be cut here and there, and you could make it sound more interesting, entertaining and engaging. I hope my comment would be taken in a positive way as I intend not to offend anyone. Keep up the great work. Thanks for such an elaborative video.

Do you have single channel memory (1x stick) or dual channel (2x sticks)? That alone can boost some games by 30%. Also with Overwatch, I test in the practice range which I think performs better than actual game play. With Overwatch specifically you might also need to change the resolution from 1080p 60 to a higher option if it exists.
