    Sound system is the worst

    A bit disappointed. First it went on sale a few days after I bought it. Grr. The most annoying thing is that the speakers/sound are the worst. My 10 yr old Acer laptop that died that this one replaced had good sound, this one you can barely hear with the volume controls at 100%. As for directional audio, if you cant hear it, then it doesnt do much good. Worst sound system ever. Its not that much faster than my old I3 processor so that was a bit disappointing as well. Wifi is a tad faster, but not like lightning speed. I havent even attempted to play a game on it, but zero stars for the speakers/volume. It auto updated to windows11 when I turned it on out of the box and HATE windows 11 but thats a whole different issue. But just for every day stuff, email, facebook, and the usual things it works fine. I havent tested the battery life yet and will update when I do.

    After buying an earlier version on the Nitro 5, I went straight to Acer when that laptop was dying. I was happy to find that there was an improved model that had similar specs to other leading laptops. And after having used it for a bit now, I'm confident in saying that it was money well spent.

    No complaints. Although I do think Windows 11 is too new to be completely optimized so I did a clean reinstall of Windows 10 but that's just preference. The storage and ram is upgradable which is really nice so I may be upgrading it to 32gb ram. You definitely get a lot for the price.

    I got this gaming laptop for my 12-year old grandson. I told him not to open it until Christmas morning. He woke up early and was on it all day!! He said it was perfect and the Windows made everything very clear and fast! I couldn't have found a better gift for him!!

    Good laptop but don’t be fooled by seeing the GeForce 3060 in the specs. This is a small laptop and the graphics card isn’t enough to make up for the overall laptop specs. Definitely worth getting for traveling or when playing older games

    Love the laptop. Just beware you need to push the charger in hard until it clicks. I actually returned it thinking that it didn’t work but found out that’s the problem.

    This is a fast laptop only when booting although has may cons.. slow wifi connection I think it has the worst wifi card, the battery also is the worst.. it can barely last an hour. The speakers are kinda low.. I bet your phone speaker is louder Than the laptop.. Just made a return and exchanged it for Asus g14 ryzen 9.. which is a complete monster. I can't recommend this acer laptop tbh!!!

    Very happy with my Nitro 5. A gaming laptop built with convenience in mind. Easy open access to upgrade memory, m.2, and ssd. What more could a hardware gamer want.

    Don't know if I was unlucky with purchasing this one but, It broke down after a couple of months. It doesn't boot up sometimes. I might have gotten a defected motherboard, after troubleshooting the issue. Overall, it's a great laptop if it works and it gets pretty loud after long gaming sessions.
