Acer Predator Triton 500 Laptop

I think this is top of the line

I looked around at every laptop I could find in this category (Alienware, Asus, Lenovo,Razer Blade, MSI,Gigabyte Aero, etc.). I settled on this one because it has everything in the most compact package, at a decent price. I needed a LAN port. I needed Thunderbolt 3. I needed 512GB SSD. I wanted the Gsync from RTX2080 (I paid the extra for the 2080 vs. 2060). This had it all. Let me be clear, I do not game. I use it for vMix. I needed a laptop t... Show Morehat was portable and super powerful for vmix live streaming. I switch externally and basically just use a single input on vmix (maybe some NDI capture), then add some overlays, separate audio input, and the occasional video roll and send it down a couple of streams (facebook and youtube). This thing is great for that. Small, lightweight, and powerful. ONLY THING: I had a hard time figuring out why I was hearing the audio from the headphone jack come across on both channels (L&R). So for anyone who might be struggling with this same issue, heres the fix. There are waaaaaay too many places to mess with audio.I know its designed for gaming, but I just need simple stereo audio from my headphones. I finally found that the Waves MaxxAudio window was the one doing the weird audio surround causing both audio channels to play sounds. Acer should really consider setting these to basically off when the PC ships so others dont have this confusion. Anyway, that fixed it.Show Less
