    Had to buy a new laptop cause my old one didn’t survive the storm. Decided to buy something better than what I had, and this laptop met all my requirements. I’ve been using for 2 weeks so far, and it didn’t let me down: it’s fast, no freezes, no glitches neither when just working on zoom no when playing games. Highly recommend.

    It’s very good for a gaming laptop, the battery life isn’t the greatest but it’s performance makes up for it.

    High powered laptop that ticks all the boxes for school and gaming. Battery is less than stellar but that seems to be the case with most gaming laptops.

    Reliable for basic tasks but has an extremely short battery life and overheats often. The software it comes with enables to use 60-70% memory when it's just sitting on the desktop. So imagine you load up a game, it starts running near 90% and overheats. No good for today's gaming which people use discord in tandem with their games so it runs even harder. I shut down a lot of background processes just to get the bare minimum. The battery now lasts 1 hour due to overheating consistently even with a laptop fan. I do not recommend.

    This laptop has everything I need for a decent price range. I'm truly delighted. The display is excellent, the keyboard is great. It's really classy as its design is simple but modern. The processor performance is amazing, it operates incredibly and for gaming is really top. I just need to increase its capacity in ROM as it is not as big as It is required nowadays and also the RAM, but that's something that it's really easy to do as the laptop allows it without any proble, This is a highly recommended product.

    Good laptop with frustrating flaw

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This was a good product for the price point, however, there is one thing that must be fixed by the user in order for the laptop to not freeze and black-screen constantly while gaming, even with older games, like Darkest Dungeon 1. The fix is easy, but difficult to find online, so I will detail it here: Go to Control Panel, click Hardware and Sound. In this panel, there is a small hyperlink under Power Options that says “edit power plan.” Click that, and then click “change advanced power settings” in the panel that opens. This will open a separate window with a list. Click “Hard disk,” then click “turn off disk after,” and change those values to 0, which should display as “never” once you click away. It fixes the issue completely, or at least, it did for me. Finding this information took hours though, so hopefully this will help someone find it quickly. Acer should fix this asap and make it the default setting, especially on a gaming laptop. Still, once you do that, great value for the price.

    The Acer Nitro 15.6” is an absolute beast! The 144Hz display is super smooth, games run flawlessly with the RTX 4060, and the 13th Gen i7 keeps everything fast. Stays cool under pressure, and the design looks awesome. For the price, this is a killer gaming laptop!

    Laptop has good value for what is inside. If anything the CPU holds it back but definitely satisfactory. Fans are pretty quiet; better than expected. Battery Life is serviceable but wish it was better.
