    I had an Acer Nitro 5 which I purchased in 2020 with a 17.3 inch screen. Unfortunately, the motherboard failed leaving that computer useless. I had to get a replacement quickly and so I bought this Acer Nitro 5 because after some research it still seemed like the best bang for the buck. I wish that a model with a 17.3 inch screen was available this time, but it was not.

    Needed something I could run RDR2, both starcrafts, and sims 4 and 3 with all the expansion. This runs beautifully and I even have AC Valhalla going strong with no issues. Will update my review with any issues as they come up with the laptop itself.

    Was concerned about the graphics card in this model and the keyboard that goes dark after time limit. Found setting to fix keyboard to stay lighted. Upgraded the graphics card helped a little bit. Help desk was a big help with questions

    It's a very good computer, the only cons I would say are that the keyboard lights automatically go off after 30 seconds and there's no way to change that or the red color (only color option is red). Other than those simply cosmetics it's a good product.

    We bought the lower version of this laptop and the cpu temp was higher than it should be so we upgraded to this one. We’re much happier with the performance of this laptop. It was only $80 more for a faster cpu.
