Acer Nitro 17 gaming laptop | AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS octa-core processor NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU | 17.3″ 165Hz QHD IPS Display | 1 TB 4th Gen SSD | Wi-Fi 6e | RGB backlit keyboard | AN17-41-R7G3, Black
I made this out of an old Predator 1080ti. Old is not cut. The product was heavily discounted on peak days and I bought a 990pro with 32GB of RAM (max required).
(Edit) I also noticed that HDR is not supported.
1. The biggest drawback I noticed is that leveling is very difficult. You will have to completely remove the bottom 11 bolts, not all of which will want to come out of the holes due to the gasket used.
2. The GPU is full even when playing old games. Whether at 1080 or 2K, the 4060 is always at full power and the fan is running at full speed.
3. Good performance without hesitation. I didn't realize that the 4060 couldn't operate at full power and that I would be better off using the full powered 3080ti laptops on sale.
4. It needs more USB 3.2 ports It has two USB3 ports, but the USB ports are on the right side, which makes me waste more space in my mouse room layout. Place one on the back or on the other side. Since there are two USB-C ports on the back, I'll try using an adapter and see if that works.
5. BIOS still has many flaws. Everything is blocked and doesn't give you much control.
6. I noticed that it does not have HDR technology. I guess I just assumed it had HDR for gaming. He said yes, but he doesn't appear in any game and is greyed out, so the investigation is still ongoing. But that's what I said when I saw it.

1. The thermal temperature does not seem to rise from 71°C to 78°C when the GPU is fully used for a long time.
2. The processor seems to be on the right track, with little concern about its standing compared to Intel's 13th generation.
3. The 990pro (available now) has an additional m.2 drive and can be equipped with new 5600Hz memory and up to 32GB of capacity! He unlocked everything I threw at him. To maintain optimal fan performance, do not use the gaming settings in the Nitro app. Fans can compete with 747 in the Db range if you keep 747 in the game profile. Don't do this or you won't hear the game. This keeps the Nitro Center full of fans at all times.

The case has some additional cooling tricks, including dual fans, dual air intakes (top and bottom), and a four-port design. This also includes the cooling effect of liquid metal thermal paste, which transfers heat more efficiently between the processor and the heat sink.
