Acer Aspire 7 (Core i7, GTX 1060) Laptop Review

[Redaktion]

Budget gaming par excellence. Acer's latest 17-inch multimedia-gaming hybrid from the new Aspire 7 series comes equipped with a powerful GTX 1060, a fast quad-core, and an IPS display but is consequently optimized in regards to costs in all other aspects. From a technical point of view, the new notebook is very decent and Acer's cost cutting measures were made wisely... with one exception, though.

The display panel here didn't get as good a review as with the Acer Aspire 5 but both seem to have the same panels: LP173WF4-SPF5. Why are there such discrepancies? Thanks

The GPU is only used at 45% during the FurMark + Prime 95 test, why is it so? The chip isnt being used to its full potential, is it a throttle?

Is the Acer Aspire 7 A717-72G-76V1 display a touch screen?
Searching the web and could not find whether it's touch screen.

A717-72G-700J (found on Amazon (USA)) seems to be an updated model - 8750H, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD. Thoughts? Worth it?
