It is zoned lighting and also has wave effects etc.

I'll be making a more thorough review about this beast of a machine.

[CrowdControlK]

I have a Triton 500 and you can fry an egg on it when gaming.

[nohcho]

Wow i didn't Gordon Mah Ung was still around. Miss your rants on maximum PC podcasts back in them days

[Raintiger]

You guys really should start checking what PL1 is set to. This has a huge impact on performance.

[piotrbaranski]

The keyboard is actually 3 zone RGB not a one color

Just bought this recently. Runs everything so well! Gta 5 on highest settings with no issue. Also star wars fallen order and assassins creed. Gets a bit loud sometimes and kinda hot but hey, thats a lot of power packed into a slim build.

Just bought one for $985 don't think I need to upgrade it.

[MrMarbles]

I have this & I’m using it as a toaster while gaming.

[ParanoidPixel]

How is this while docked? Can it be used reliably while shut? I plan on cooling it externally when home.

I'm having a hard time choosing between:
Acer Predator Triton 500 PT515-51-71VV (upgraded with RAM and Storage of choice assuming I can upgrade it)
or
GIGABYTE AERO 15-X9-9RT5 (upgraded with RAM and Storage)

Id save a couple hundred $, have a nicer keyboard configuration, plus potentially better cooling if I went with the Acer... Assuming the laptop isn't horribly throttled.

I got mine about a month ago but I had to get it repaired because ups didn’t know how to handle my computer and messed up the battery but it’s a great computer if I do say so myself

I love this fluid type of review, lately other channels is try this professional look which is getting boring.

[limji-siang]

nice laptop but fan noise is way too loud even idle(not doing anything)

[ThaedDavid]

Any chance of a side-by-side comparison with a GS65?

[hookster]

They took Gordon knife away, I believe he feels Alaina and Brad are going pick this as best GPU at the year-end.

[SaruRaw]

do you think it is a better buy than a blade 15 1060 ? The blade goes for 1870 dollars
