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.

    My son purchased this laptop so he could use it with his Oculus Quest VR headset. Unfortunately, it is not optimized to work with the Quest VR headset. When my son tried to play a game that was downloaded from STEAM the video game was to jerky to play. The laptop worked well when playing games on it but since it didn't work with the VR we returned it to Best Buy.
