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 recently had the pleasure of diving into the gaming world with the Acer Nitro 5, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations on multiple fronts. This 15.6" FHD 144Hz gaming laptop is a powerhouse that seamlessly blends style, functionality, and power. Let's break down the key features that make the Acer Nitro 5 a top-notch choice for gamers. Performance: At the heart of this gaming beast lies the Intel 11th Gen i5 processor, ensuring smooth and responsive gameplay. Paired with the GeForce GTX 1650 graphics card, the Nitro 5 delivers impressive visuals and handles demanding gaming environments with ease. Whether you're into fast-paced action or graphically intensive games, the Nitro 5's performance won't disappoint. Display: The 15.6" Full HD display with a 144Hz refresh rate provides an immersive gaming experience. The high refresh rate ensures that every frame is rendered crisply, giving you a competitive edge in fast-paced games. The vibrant colors and sharp details make gaming, streaming, and multimedia consumption a delight. Storage and Memory: Equipped with a speedy 256GB SSD and 8GB DDR4 RAM, the Nitro 5 offers quick boot times, smooth multitasking, and ample storage for your gaming library. While the storage capacity might seem modest, the SSD ensures that your games load swiftly, and the DDR4 RAM handles multitasking effortlessly. Design: Acer has struck a balance between aesthetics and practicality with the Nitro 5. The sleek black chassis is accented with red details, giving it a gaming vibe without being overly flashy. The keyboard is comfortable to use, and the red-backlit keys add a touch of style while aiding visibility in low-light conditions. Windows 11 Integration: The inclusion of Windows 11 enhances the overall user experience, providing a modern and intuitive interface. The latest features and updates from Microsoft complement the Nitro 5's hardware capabilities, making it a future-proof investment. Portability: Weighing in at a reasonable weight for a gaming laptop, the Nitro 5 doesn't compromise on portability. Whether you're gaming on the go or setting up at a friend's place, the Nitro 5 is easy to carry and doesn't skimp on performance. In conclusion, the Acer Nitro 5 is a well-rounded gaming laptop that delivers on both style and substance. Its combination of a powerful processor, impressive graphics, and a high-refresh-rate display make it an excellent choice for gamers seeking a reliable and immersive gaming experience. The Nitro 5 is proof that gaming laptops can offer both performance and affordability without sacrificing quality. I would recommend buying it.

    Decent gaming laptop- extremely short battery life

    Laptop is fast and good for gaming. My only complaints are the keys are difficult to read in the dark and there is no way to adjust the timer on the red backlight to more than 30 seconds. But the biggest issue I have is that I purchased two of these at the same time and both laptop batteries last for less than an hour of gaming. I have tried updating all the drivers (you will have to update the Ndivia one initially regardless) to see if that helped but it does not. I usually have my laptop plugged in anyway but less than an hour of battery life seems ridiculous.

    Bought this after my older model’s case cracked and it wasn’t practical to use anymore. Loads better in design alone, but that won’t help anyone who doesn’t have an older model of this laptop. If you’re finding it won’t charge, make sure that you push the charger into the hole until you hear a click. I use this laptop primarily for school, and the occasional light gaming if I have time. It’s perfect. Plenty of space for all of those notes and papers that I never want to delete just in case. Absolutely love the backlight on the keyboard as it is actually bright enough to see in a dark room. I don’t know how long the battery life is, but I’ve never had to use my charger in class.

    I originally bought this laptop in early February 2022 for my wife. She has been using it every day since for general web browsing, epic hardcore gaming, and everything in between. The laptop has not slowed down at all over the course of her using it. The only complaint she has is the short battery life. Overall, very much worth it, especially at the low price.

    This is a great overall laptop! I don't game much on it yet because I just got it, but from what I have done so far on it, everything is great! GTA V runs smooth as silk and the computer stays very quiet while doing so. My only complaint about this computer is the battery life, it only lasts about two hours on a full charge, and that's just using the web and basic functions. That's not a huge deal for me, but just something to keep in mind if you're expecting to get an all-day battery... Other than that, this computer is swift, light, well made, and a great overall value in my opinion.

    This laptop is great for gaming. I used it for sims 4 and for Fortnite. I did have to turn my fan speed all the way up while playing fortnite or it would become glitchy but over all a great purchase and much more cost friendly option than building my own computer.

    This laptop is amazing for the price. Gaming on it is nice. Roblox Jailbreak averages 60 to 80 fps on 8 graphics. American Truck Simulator averages around 100 on max with 144hz. And Hello Neighbor maxes out around 144 with vsync.

    Awesome laptop! Other reviews say that a lot of these show up DOA. 1st: They arrive with zero battery charge so make sure to charge before powering up. 2nd: Before you freak out because you've plugged it in & the charge light hasn't come on yet just leave it plugged in & wait for at least 15 minutes. It takes the laptop a few minutes to build a charge & go through internal system checks. Hope this helps somebody.
