predator Acer Predator G9-592 worth it?

[cardo324]

Good day good citizens of LTT.

 

I am planning to buy a new Gaming Laptop, specifically the Acer Predator 15 with i7 6700 HQ, GTX 980m 8GB, 16-32GB DDR4 2133Mhz, maybe 2 M.2 128GB and 1TB 7200 RPM HDD. Can anyone tell their good or bad experience with it or just a professional overview of this laptop for a casual gamer so I can analyze this or other options. And also what you guys think about this laptop and PC building website like Origin, iBuypower or Xotic PC, are they any good, do they get the job done, are they safe and reliable? I am thinking of buying this laptop with Xotic PC, can anyone talk some good or bad experience? And a recommendation of a website that can do better with this laptop.

 

Thanks a bunch to y'all.

 

Have an excellent day.

From what I can tell it looks good. However I have no experience with this machine and have no idea if it can handle the cooling requirements. Price is good on it though.

About as ugly as any gaming laptop really.

 Not really. The Predator looks especially bad to me cause of the highlights on the WASD and arrow keys along with super "gamery" predator branding and more gaudy colors on the chassis. Just a black body clevo rebrand looks good.

It's a matter of taste. Some people don't want a blocky PC. Clevo laptops are equally ugly.

 

The only laptops I can say are aesthetically appealing to behold are the Dell XPS machines. They're all gorgeous.

I thought if it wasn't very good looking but ugly not for me. Mainly because I don't really care about esthetics. I'm not going to show off how good looking my laptop is but how good it performs under the hood. It's not like a car where you drive around with it but you carry the laptop in a backpack.
