Acer Triton 500 SE Review - Acer's Best Gaming Laptop!
Ғылым және технология
Review of the 2022 Acer Triton 500 SE. Acer's best looking gaming laptop. It's not perfect but it's much more refined compared to the previous model. This model I reviewed comes with an I9-12900H and a RTX 3080TI.

** Made a Mistake. RAM IS SOLDERED to the Motherboard. But M2 NVME Drives are upgradeable. The Acer Triton 500 SE is a good option compared to the more expensive competition. Mostly small refinements but good ones! Also, if you missed it I reviewed the ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo which you can find here - kzread.info/dash/bejne/aqJ3tM-dcrLUo8o.html

What would you say is the best 15 inch laptop? I need something i can carry around to work everyday so I dont want it to be too bulky or heavy. I was thinking of the zeyprhus 14 inch but when i saw them at bestbuy they actually looked too small while the G 15 zeph looked perfect

Which one should I choose between this one and a hp omen 15 with very similar specs .
You should do a comparison of this to the msi gs66 which costs around the same with similar specs

@Matthew Moniz, are you going to review the higher end Nitro 2022 series laptop? I think for pure gaming, they're much attractive. The top end model with QHD 165Hz screen, i7-12700H, MUX Switch and a 140W RTX 3070 ti at just $1760.

Not worth it. It's still overpriced
Is this better than nitro 5 2022?
I believe this system as Advanced Optimus and Dynamic Display Switching, something that most premium performance devices don't even have. It's far better than just having a manual MUX switch. It will automatically select iGPU vs dGPU connecting to the internal display, depending if you are gaming. It's far my convenient than my Zephyrus G14 2022. With My Zephyrus, I forgot to turn off dGPU to the internal display, and battery for watching youtube was literally a couple hours long only. Worse yet, with manual MUX switch, I had to reboot every time I select or de-select MUX. I wish I have the Triton 500SE, far better looking.
I have this laptop and it’s having drive issues. I’m a total Luddite so I don’t have much skill/knowledge in repairing/ updates. I was reading that it has issues with updating and if you change the drive it can have motherboard issues. Does anybody know if this is true?
I know this video isn’t brand new but I’ve been looking at this laptop with the exact same specs for 2500 on Amazon. Is it a solid buy in the beginning of 2023 for that price?

You got scammed when you bought Acer
Ordered this laptop on Friday and gets here Wednesday, upgrading from a rtx 3060 laptop with a i7 11800H with 16gb ram, one of the omen laptops with those specs in short, from what I've seen it's a really good upgrade from what I have, I got it for $2700 after a price reduction, looked at benchmarks for somw games and this thing is very solid at ultra 1080p any game and still very good on QHD ultra, but what I'm after is the processor since I play stellaris, current cpu doesn't like that game with a good amount of mods so I'm hoping this i9 will do the trick.

It's amazing to see how crazy powerful these thin gaming laptop have become. Nowadays they come packed with beefy hardware (highend CPU, highend GPU, high clock RAM, high speed nvme ssd), but only measure a couple mm thickness. Just a couple years ago, a laptop with this hardware equivalent would have been twice as thick, or even more. Now, a gaming laptop can be used as a portable device, even students can use them because of good battery life.

I think this is a solid gaming laptop and is actually much more cleaner than other 16:10 laptops. It's more or less a nice understated machine that you can game on the go. If you can get the i7/3070Ti combo it'll save you much more while offering similar performance to similarly thin devices. It's actually one of my personal favourite machine in the 16:10 gaming laptop scene.

fairly solid laptop to be honest! Acer didn't sell this series in my country as far as i know but usually they offer great price for the performance so they sell like a hotcake in my country. I have to say that i love the placement of Thunderbolt 4! It's too close from other ports but i like acer putting one port at right side and other port at the left side. Very few laptops have thunderbolt ports placement like this so good job for acer!
