Question is, what is Acer's end game with this kind of thinking? If there is an alternative to this model from Acer, perhaps at a higher price, then maybe.

The only thing that they manage to do now is give MSI, Asus and Lenovo salesman new sales tactic.

I could hear them already. "I oso sell Acer, Acer say no more stock ma, you wait until die die also no stock. Game2 you take MSi la, same quality wor..."

Taking a Nitro unit for a test drive no thanks to a FFK. Still thinking on my next move, so in the mean time, let us see how things go..

I would say this first thought. The red backlit is a concern (most of my other gaming laptops don't last long, since I couldn't stand the backlit), yet the good thing is the letters are actually printed white with blue FN alternatives, so once you turn it off, red abhorrent guys like me can see that the laptop is just like any other.

Still couldn't fathom why gaming = red laptop by most manufacturer's standard.

Yeah, I remember when I had the Alienware M11. In the end, my choice of color was still white backlit.

Then again, getting it at the prices that Acer gave? Nice.

Although it would really help the brand if Acer tones down their BYOC thing. Preinstalled software everywhere.
