Customers find value in the Nitro 15.6" gaming laptop's strong performance and impressive graphics capabilities, particularly at its price point. The 144Hz refresh rate and upgradeable RAM are also frequently praised. However, some users note that the fans can be loud and the battery life could be improved.
This laptop was a gift to myself for my birthday. It was a quick purchase; it was on sale at the time for $874. This had been marked down from $1099 SRP. I would say, for the money I paid, this laptop exceed my expectations. It runs every game I throw at it with ease. GTA V, Minecraft, DBD, State of Decay 2, American Truck Simulator, etc. I purchased the laptop with the expectations to only provide gaming on the go; I have a gaming PC at home. I suggest upgrading the SSD and RAM in this laptop to provide a better experience. I added a 4TB M.2 and 16GB RAM to replace the 8GB twin sticks. Performing very well. Only note: the fans are quite loud at times, as stated in other reviews. I have headphones from Logitech that double as a chat headset for Xbox parties and Discord. This eliminates the fan sounds entirely and provides better gaming experience with immersion.

Good relation price/performance, average screen (at least have 144hz, poor nits and color gamut), I did a RAM upgrade to 32GB, and added a new 2TB SSD. I recommended to put it a cooling pad to reach good CPU and GPU temperatures, in gaming the RTX 4060 is very good, maybe it needs a better CPU to gain more FPS but for it price is still good.

It is a very good laptop to play any game at 1080p in the highest configuration without any problems, I just think that the laptop charger does not give enough power and uses the laptop's battery to be able to use the total power which worsens the performance in games sometimes otherwise everything is great
