    Asus and Acer have some of the biggest dipshits in their design departments.

    “Republic of Gamers” is cringe, and Acer settled on having “PREDATOR” written in all caps across their gaming laptops.

    Gamer aesthetic is not, never has been, and never will be cool.

      At least ROG is just three letters that don’t mean anything to people who don’t already know what it means.

      I’ve got an old-ish Acer Predator and thankfully it doesn’t have quite that level of dogshit branding but I did have to go into the bios to disable the boot screen and obnoxiously loud boot up noise. I like the metal and the RGB isn’t that bad, but if I buy another gaming laptop it’s probably not going to be from the Predator line since that seems to be all NVIDIA and I use Linux now, lol. Also who the hell thought Predator was an appropriate name for any commercial product, it’s pretty yikes.

      (Also my laptop has always been an RGB space heater but that seems to be a problem with gaming laptops in general).
