I got this for my teenage daughter who I thought would destroy it, but its held up great for almost 2 years! I waited to do a review to give it a chance. Not only is it used for school but plays games with high fps. Only problem is that she is running out of memory space which isn't a big deal.

Needed a laptop to use for my schooling and this is one of the few that were suggested for me. After adding the ram to get my laptop to 32gs, I used it for some school stuff. So far it works great. Faster then any other laptop I've used so far.

This laptop is incredible! I never run at max settings to preserve the life of the computer, but man this is everything ive ever wanted in a computer! This was my gift to myself after 3 years of saving up for a car (bought this right beforehand). Awesome!

Good entry level laptop. The i7 processor is very fast. The only down fall is the 3050 ti which isn't a very powerful card but will work for all the new simple games. Fortnite, Fall guys and all that will run fine.

My daughter enjoys the new computer. She said the graphics and speed are much better than her previous computer. She said she is able to play more games due to the increase speed. This was a great Christmas gift for her.

After years of desktops, I figured I'd make a change and pick up a laptop. I don't regret my decision. The price was fantastic and the GPU is great, although I'm not a heavy gamer. The games I do play, I am able to max out the settings, so that's nice. I plan on adding more memory and storage and from what I've seen on the internet, it's rather easy. My only complaint is that this model does NOT have a Thunderbolt USB-C port. It's a USB 3.2 only, so you are not able to add a 3rd monitor that way. I did buy a USB 3.0 to HDMI for a third monitor and it works great.

Great computer! Bought this on a Black Friday/End of year discount sale. Very good purchase, and the storage and memory can easily be upgraded to push the longevity of this PC out for some time.

This laptop rocks and had a great price. My 19 year old loves gaming and this laptop gives him the speed and storage he wanted. Not to mention Best Buy gave us a price match for a price reduction.

Bought this computer for cyber Monday. The graphics card might not be the best in the market, but for someone like me that travels for work and barely has time to play on my PS5 it does the trick. Storage is somewhat limited but you can always expand it by attaching an SSD to the eSATA port or my using the M.2 port. Only think I would like better is if you could change the keyboard backlight color, but that’s not a deal breaker for me

My custom built Pc tower is nothing compared to the acer nitro 5 laptop this thing does exactly what it’s described to do plus more! The laptop hasn’t crashed a single time on FPS games like Apex, Cod, Escape from Tarkov, Fortnite, SuperPeople not a single time! Only cons I could mention is the battery life after a couple of days of playing on it the batter drains really fast but it’s a Laptop of coarse after a while it’ll die quicker! Great Laptop! Great Buy! Thanks Best Buy!!

I bought this laptop to compare it to similar laptop I am testing for mining
I can mine with both the profitably while plugged in, however this this computer it more efficient and uses 64 watts vs 83 for the other, with much less heat and slightly less yield, which makes it practical to use for other purposes while, mining
I have been running it continuously for few days only and remains stable and functional, the term use is to be seen
If you are planning to use for gaming you may find a different results since gaming may require more intense over locking of the processors my require extra external cooling system

So far so good. i bought it for graphic design and video edition. The quality of the screen is aceptable but if you are going todo edition at high level I will recomend to get an external monitor like asus pro art or benq. It is faster, no problem conerting or editing videos. It is also able to play latest game but for that I would recomend a laptop with a better graphic card because I dont thonk that this one is going to be able to play the best games of new year using the highest quality.
Battery life is, depend of what you do but for gaming laptop it is always the worst part. Between 2 and 3 hours for me
