Customers are saying

Customers are pleased with the Nitro 5's performance, especially considering its price, and many appreciate its suitability for gaming and ease of upgrading RAM and storage. However, some users have noted that the battery life could be improved, and the fan noise can be excessive at times. The keyboard's backlighting is a frequently praised feature.

    I bought this as a way to finally branch into PC gaming, best purchase so far. I didn’t expect to run anything very demanding and it still has surpassed my expectations. I’d recommend buying more RAM and upgrading the storage as its not enough.

    Had to have two sent back because they didn’t work. But the guys at the customer service and geek squad were very helpful and got us one that worked . It was a Christmas gift that my son was super happy to get so it was discouraging and they made it all worth coming back. !

    I absolutely love my laptop! i found it the hard way that this computer will not function at all without windows 11, so no windows 10. It comes with windows 11 preinstalled so that a perk!!

    The Acer Nitro runs like a derby horse that you weren't expecting to win, but you put some money on it and then it wins.

    Love the look of this laptop with the red backlit keyboard but that's the only thing good about this product. Keyboard is a little different than a normal keyboard so constantly making typo's and couldn't get to multiple websites, keep getting all kinds of loading errors and no help with the troubleshooting.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    A very nice laptop for amateur gaming. Got this for my little brother, who was very happy with it. Wish it had more RAM though, but not a big issue.
