I'm having this laptop for several days already . So far so good is all i can say.
Screen and sound is considered very good for a laptop of this size. IPS panel certainly did its job. No way you could complain bout the audio as well until you switched off Dolby Digital Plus.

As for the overheat problem .. Well it depends ..

I ran NFS Rivals ( MAXED OUT ) on it , CPU temps on average is hovering around 84-89*c , reaching a maximum of 92*c , GPU temps on average is around 80-83*c , maximum of 85*c. Constant 30fps as NFS capped it there.

I also ran BF3 on high-ultra settings ( custom ). Without V-sync = similar results as above NFS Rivals but FPS got up to over 100fps. With V-sync on = CPU temp is still almost the same but GPU dropped to around 75*c and FPS capped at a respectable frame rate of 60FPS.

Please take note that I ran those games mentioned above in normal room condition with just a ceiling fan ( no air-cond or whatsoever , however there is a cooling pad below which is a cheapo one that was given as a freebie when i purchased this laptop ) . WASD and the overall left side area was cooling all the time . Lower right, the palm rest area ( below arrow keys do get a bit warm but its acceptable ). Above F7 - F12 function keys do get kinda warm while gaming where that is the place of all the processing chips .

As for COD Advance Warfare , I played it in an air-conditioned room. CPU temp around 72-82*c , GPU temp around 69-75*c with FPS around 35-40 with default graphics preset ( I din check )

ALL TEMPERATURES WERE MONITORED USING MSI AFTERBURNER's ON-SCREEN-DISPLAY

WIFI
I have no issues with the WiFi. I'm getting identical results as my desktop which is connected using LAN cable. No dropped connections and 5 bars all the time . About 20 feet away from my router.

I am using the newer model ACER ASPIRE V15 NITRO VN7-591G-744NK . I hope the above information helped you with your overheating concern on this laptop with a little bonus clarifying what people say about poor wifi connection.




--UPDATE--
After disabling Intel Turbo Boost Technology , both CPU AND GPU temps drop by around 10*c under same load as above . Damn ! and yet still very playable .

Mine is 860m

i7 4720HQ
8GB ram
intel hd4600 / gtx 860m 2gb

Yea i find it quite high for my taste though. I prefer it to be around 65-75*c most of the times while i'm gaming.
That 85*c is for GPU or CPU ?
Not quite sure if it's disrupting the air flow as the exhaust is at the rear and below it should be the intake. I'll post again when i change my cooling pad ( not quite sure when )

Mine is GM107 stated in GPU-Z which is maxwell.. Perhaps i need better cooling for this laptop haha ~ not sure if acer will provide the service of changing thermal paste for a cost, of course .

Umm , any specific keyword that i can look up ? I don't feel like going through all 109 pages haha

Guys , any bright ideas on this one ?
I googled it and they said it was normal .. is it ?

Let me know if you're having that as well ...

Or maybe I applied the patches already ? haha cz when i purchased this laptop , acer care centre has pushed several updates , i just updated all of them so i guess one of them is the wifi patch haha .. FYI , my wifi card is Atheros QCA61x4

Okay ~ thanks mate ~ will try it out ..

How to backup the current bios ? I did some googling but couldn't find a safe method.

Just in case i screw up..

I'm using 1.11 but I couldn't find it on acer's website .. They have either 1.08 or 1.13
