    First Acer

    Very good for the price. Bought on sale for $999. Great deal. 4060 is full power. Is quiet enough when not gaming. Screen is very bright which was the reason for purchasing over other options. Upgraded to 32GB of RAM and should be able to handle anything thrown at it. Battery life will be average but to be expected for an i9 and dedicated graphics.
