    I love this thing. I havent gamed in years bearly a decade really. I was in the store looking at another laptop, then an accosiate came over to assist me and suggested i spend a little more for this one. Better graphics card, double the ram, better processer just all around better. So far on any game i have played i have the graphics maxed out and it runs great! Fans a little loud but thats expected to help keep things cool. Battery life isnt that good if your gaming but it takes power to run games. Over all amazing product i love it!

    Good gaming laptop overall

    The Acer Nitro 5 is my first gaming laptop, and I was very impressed with its overall performance. It delivers smooth gameplay, fast program execution, and handles both work-related tasks and everyday use with ease. For its price point, the hardware power and speed are excellent, making it a strong option in the entry-to-mid gaming laptop category. The main drawback is the battery life, which is quite limited and requires the laptop to remain plugged in most of the time. In my experience, even when the fans are off and the system is under light use, the battery still drains quickly. Additionally, my first unit arrived with a defect and had to be sent for service. While this issue was resolved, it was disappointing for a first experience with this product line. In conclusion, the Acer Nitro 5 offers excellent performance and value for its capabilities, but buyers should be aware of its weak battery life and the possibility of quality control issues.

    It is a great computer; it is fast, the graphics are amazing, and it can handle tougher games. My only complaint is that the batter depletes incredibly fast. If you want to do anything on it, you need to have it plugged in the whole time.

    I have had this laptop for about 5 weeks now and will say this tbing is amzing. Fast, lightweight, and everything I need to game or edit videos. 4 star because one program did not work and still doesnt work Acer Nitro, but you can track the stats easily in settings.

    I’ve been using the Acer Nitro 15.6" Gaming Laptop for a few weeks now, and it has exceeded my expectations. The 144Hz FHD IPS display is stunning, providing smooth and vibrant visuals that enhance my gaming experience. The 13th Gen Intel Core i7 processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 graphics card handle even the most demanding games with ease, delivering excellent performance and fast load times. The 16GB DDR5 RAM and 512GB SSD ensure that multitasking and storage are never an issue. The laptop runs quietly and stays cool, even during intense gaming sessions. The build quality is solid, and the design is sleek and modern. Overall, the Acer Nitro offers fantastic value for its price, combining powerful hardware with a great display and reliable performance. I highly recommend it to any gamer looking for a high-quality, affordable gaming laptop.

    For its price, it is actually a pretty good gaming laptop. As a student who needed something quick and cheap to work with advanced programs it holds up pretty well and runs quick. The only minor issue is its battery life but honestly it is still pretty solid for a gaming laptop.

    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.

    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!
