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?

    Seems like a pretty good deal, and it’s actually being sold by the Amazon Acer store, so it’s not a shady 3rd party retailer. Acer historically hasn’t been well known for quality, but they have gotten better over the years. It’s a lot of laptop for that price. They may be trying to offload 12th Gen devices as the 13th Gen refresh is right around the corner.

    Go for it

    I also picked up a similar one for a similar deal

    Only deal breaker was a poor trackpad, poor battery, and very heavy. But performance was very good for the price
