Congrats! I have the 4060 version. Make sure to adjust the fan speed manually when gaming!

How do you adjust fans manually? Through the app or another way?

Yes, you can adjust it manually in the app. On balanced mode, temps get pretty high, but switching to turbo makes it noisier while keeping it cool, so no manual tweaking needed.

I usually play on performance mode; it’s loud but with good headphones it’s fine.

Heads up—someone on Reddit tested modes, and performance actually ran hottest! It boosts CPU/GPU but limits fans more than turbo, so temps go higher. Good headphones definitely help!

I have the 4060 Ti, and I’d recommend disabling the startup chime in BIOS. It’s way too loud!

Good call—first time it booted, it made me jump!

You can use Predator Sense.

Thanks Will try it manually! Also, do you know how to update BIOS and Intel microcode? I’m new to laptops, so I’m a bit lost there.
@Dakota
Not sure about the microcode, but you can update BIOS from here: https://www.acer.com/in-en/support/drivers-and-manuals.
Congrats! Enjoy your new rig!

How much did it cost? Did you get the 3-year extended warranty or any free accessories?

170,000 INR with a 3-year warranty (1 year standard, 2-year Acer extended) plus a Predator bag and a free white mouse from the spin wheel.
@Dakota
Nice! I paid 1.8 lakhs but added Microsoft Office 2024 for about 10,000. How does the spin wheel work? Is it in-store only or online?
Nice, man!
We should play some CoD together!
Remember to get a cooling pad! Even a basic one with a filter will do. It keeps most of the dust out, which helps a lot with maintenance.
