Sorry for jumping in, but any thoughts/experiences with the 8th gen CPU? I know it's still not one for gaming, but I've had my eye on the acer nitro 5 spin, which has the same CPU but with a gtx 1050.
They certainly look nice, as do the specs on the one I found with the 1050, but I'm seeing more quality control issues with these Acer Nitro models than one might expect from an upper end laptop. I could be looking in the wrong places for reliable reviews though. Honestly, some "customers" on Amazon are clearly not really customers and making stuff up to write about, and some will complain bitterly about trivial things or claim to not know how buying a new computer even works-- example, the hard drive lasted two days before failing so the entire computer is garbage, when of course the correct thing to do is return/exchange it as faulty hard drives can happen to anyone on any model of anything.
It's possible that it's too soon for the more reliable reviews to have been posted in any great quantity or again I'm looking in the wrong places. I don't use a higher end laptop myself though unless you count my MacBook Pro and always have to rely on others to describe their experiences. The CPU itself is probably fine.
@phoebebebe13 @SimplyJen - What do you guys think, thumbs up or down?
