I found an acer nitro 5 with 1440p display and an RTX 3070ti for a crazy price around ~1000$. It sounds too good to be true and I suspect aggressive corner cutting. Is it an actual crazy good deal? Should I buy it? Should I leave it and keep looking for ASUS deals?

So, not worth it? Would you buy this if it was your money?

Not worth it (at least to me).

I personally am the kind of user that prefers a 768p display on his laptop (i know, really retro).

But i just would rather invest on everything else.

Ideally i would like Ryzen 5 + a 50-tier Nvidia GPU combo, a non-Realtek network chip, and of course, a good quality chasis (Acer does have good models when it comes to feel and shock resistance, but their cooling is always terrible.)
