Overview
- Independent tests from Tom’s Hardware and Engadget highlight a 3.5‑pound, 0.71‑inch chassis with a 14.5‑inch 2880×1800 120Hz OLED touchscreen and an active pen that works on the glass touchpad.
- The reviewed unit combines Intel’s Core Ultra 9 288V (Lunar Lake) and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 rated up to 110W with 32GB LPDDR5X memory and a 1TB SSD.
- Gaming performance proved smooth at 1080p, though the native 2880×1800 resolution can strain the GPU, and multi‑core CPU results trail H‑class competitors due to the 30W SoC envelope.
- Acer’s vapor chamber plus a claimed first use of graphene thermal interface material in a gaming laptop helped maintain low fan noise, and battery life landed around seven to eight-plus hours in review loops.
- Reviewers praised the keyboard and build quality but flagged underwhelming speakers and non‑upgradeable RAM, with availability expected at Costco in mid‑November for about $2,499.
