By default Windows 11 has only the Recycle Bin and Microsoft Edge icons on the Desktop. On the Tray are Start with three rows of six icons and also the ability to shut it down. Next is Search which with Windows 11 still being very new you will probably use a lot to find things. Next is Desktop with the option to create another. Next is Widgets, Next is Chat, Microsoft Edge and Finally File Explorer.
You get a free games pass from Microsoft and when used the G-Force RTX 3600 GPU gets a workout.
There is 144Hz refresh rare. The mass of cooling comes into its own it’s called Aeroblade and I am told the fans are 3D.
In my tests I found that six hours of mixed use had it screaming vigorously to have the power lead reconnected. To be honest that is about the only minus point that I can find to tell you about this powerful and rather nice notebook.
Below is the nearest fit I can find as Acer have a whole range of processor and memory options for most of their computers, the processor is right, the memory is right, the SSD is right as is the screen size but the model number is not.
At the time of publication this Acer Predator laptop is available from Amazon for £1048.17.
