I have an Acer Nitro 5, it's motherboard got fri3d the other day. Thankfully it was under warranty. But I wonder is acer laptops generally more unreliable than others?
Basically which laptops are reliable?
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
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?

Hi, I've recently put some posts asking what laptop should I buy. I got some quality advice, so thanks for that guys. I've finally bought (well, paid, it's not reached yet) the acer Nitro 5.

I know the battery is shit, planning to check the thunderbolt port to use an external power bank. But other than that the specs seem awesome, the reviews also say the same. There's just no other deal that gives a display like this with the specs. I hope the build quality is good, I've bought an external extended warranty, so the risk is minimised (I hope).
What do you guys think? This is my first gaming laptop. Is there anything I should do first on receiving? Any ideas how to extend the provided battery's life? Is Win10/11 better for this hardware? Can I use it for like the next 4 years?
I do use linux on my current PC, but does linux improve battery life more than windows, is it possible to permanently disable the Nvidia GPU in linux to improve battery life?

I'm looking to buy a laptop, and found some deals, among which the most I liked is this Dell G15 at. ~1200$.

Is this a good deal? I like how it looks, and the reviews say only battery is bad. But I hear Dell is not good unless it's XPS. Should I buy it?
Other good deals I found, which one is the best?
Lenovo at ~1300.. (Good package with good battery)

Acer at ~1000$ (this one is very good but battery is way worse)

I found an acer nitro 5 with 1440p display and an RTX 3070ti for a crazy price around ~1000$. It sounds too good to be true and I suspect aggressive corner cutting. Is it an actual crazy good deal? Should I buy it? Should I leave it and keep looking for ASUS deals?
