Acer - Nitro 5 15.6" Laptop - Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti - 256GB Solid State Drive - Black

I bought this on sale in July of 2018 to get back into gaming with my friends. I had read about this model for a bit over a week and knew what to expect, great CPU/GPU, speedy and fairly spacious SSD, only single channel memory so I can upgrade to 16 later, an empty 2.5” bay for expansion, and a decent 1080 IPS wrapped in a clean designed case. Notebookcheck has a very thorough review that left nothing to guess. Excellent performance, great graphics at full resolution, good thermals, decent battery life. The only shortcoming, to be fair I knew to expect at this price was the backlight bleed. And it’s prone to fingerprints on the lid I really do enjoy this laptop and recommend it to anyone who games, goes to school, and can deal with some backlight bleed.

Got this on sale at $599 which I think is a good value for the specs. Although it is billed as a gaming laptop, I primarily got this for traditional use, with some light gaming and photo editing applications. It has worked flawlessly so far and barely gets warm. This is my first laptop with a SSD and it is a revelation compared to the boot times of a traditional hard drive. 1080p IPS screen is excellent. I still needed a DVD drive, so I picked up an LG for $20; problem solved. Recommended.

We’ve had this for almost a year and only had issues with the sound driver, which was an easy fix. It does really well with normal use and I think students that need multiple processes open would love this machine. It reboots fast and has handled our video viewing, games, document storage, and programs like Blender.

Got a great deal on this laptop at $650. The quad core I5 and 1050Ti are a great pairing and can handle most games at high settings. The panel could be a bit better but isn't terrible. It tends to get a little warm in intense games, but haven't had issues with throttling so far. It's all plastic, but nice build quality. Good features and performance from an entry level gaming laptop.

First off I wasn’t big on the brand because I’ve had issues in the past with Acer. However, they really have stepped their game up. I am very pleased with this laptop. It does everything I need and then some. It’s runs fortnite fine, haven’t tried PUBG yet. Battery life isn’t great but I don’t usually stay unplugged for long periods. Very light which I love! Great for traveling I barely notice it’s there. The only bad thing I’ve found is the audio is scratchy coming from the built in speakers. Still trying to find a fix for this. External speakers or headphones are good however. Other than that I love this laptop.

The Acer Nitro 5 provides a great laptop for the price. It handles everything I’ve thrown at it with medium to high settings at 60fps (1080p). Upgrading the RAM and adding a HD for storage was simple. If you are looking for best bang for you buck, the Acer Nitro series is the way to go.

The laptop is fairly well built, the keyboard is dark and only lights when needed unless plugged in annoying orange keys are too dark for my tastes better if they were a lighter color or more control on or off and not on whilst unplugged battery is decent not great . Would go 3.5 stars if I could definitely not a 4

In my opinion this is the best laptop for $599. Considering it has a 1050ti. This is coming from a PC builder with a Ryzen 1700X and GTX 1080 liquid custom loop at the house. I picked this up for my 2 month vacation to Deleware and I've been very satisfied with the performance playing newer games like AC Origins and Far Cry 5 on ultra settings at 1080p with decent framerates.
