    • 2.there are usual windows 10 problems, bloatware, unneeded features, and driver and other things not be up to date
    • The GTX 1060 driver not work as intended out of the box, and updating the drivers didn't correct the issue either
    • The Nvidia drivers that they're running were released in December 2016, and you can't install the latest drivers directly from Nvidia because the graphics card will then fail to start
    • Had my unit about 2 weeks, and after a totally clean windows install (I recommend NOT using the drivers on ACER's site, I got notably worse performance and over all useless resource drain, I tried many combinations and as is with a clean install yielded the best results
    • If you plan to go the Linux route, note that you will need to enable proprietary drivers to get support for the Ahteros wireless and if you want faster NVidia speed.
    • Also the windows....even with updates , bios, etc it gives MAJOR stutter, it gives 1 sec freeze when doing UAC prompt, when i click on battery icon, so basically the windows gets messed up when u have BOTH intel and NVIDIA display drivers on, If you turn off one of the displays windows works wonderful, When i spoke to Acer they told me disable intel driver permanently... got to be joking right
    • The audio driver this came loaded with began to crap out spectacularly with the Dolby Audio whatever they have packaged along with it
    • Extremely unstable drivers, requires cherry-picked versions from acer website and disabling windows updating device drivers
    • The driver supports not very good, the thermals are not very good, and the screens not very good
    • I really enjoyed id
    • Amazing I bought mine with 1tb hd easy to install runs everything at high-ultra 60fps
    • The screen is not the best and it does not support V-Sync
    • Sometimes it can get pretty dim during night time in GTA V in no light environment, but it's still acceptable as long as you max out the brightness
    • (Acer Aspire E 15) was a noob compared to this beastly computer
