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?
What games do you want to play? 3070TI will struggle to run smooth newer games on 1440p. + there is a heating issue. As for battery, you will game when your are plugged in. Every single laptop will have bad battery life when gaming.
If that was my money i wouldn't buy.
That all depends on you.
If you dont have room for desktop pc and you want to game/work and be on a move go for it (but i would suggest Asus)
If you have room/budget go for desktop pc.
Alternative buy Steam deck/Asus Ally and cheaper non gaming laptop for work/school.
My two cents.
I am stuck on a laptop. So waiting for ASUS is better? They do seem to have a premium price tho. I can't find any "killer deals" like this for ASUS. I don't play games on battery, but I do watch movies and youtube on battery a lot. Also I want it to be portable (i.e: not stuck to a power of all the time)
