Customers are saying

Customers enjoy the Nitro 5's performance, graphics capabilities, and backlit keyboard. Positive feedback also highlights its price, display, and storage options, along with its sturdy build. However, some users note that the battery life could be improved, and that the fan noise and heat generation are potential drawbacks. The weight of the laptop and the sound quality of the speakers also received some negative comments.

    Great laptop for the price. I love that it made an effort to be somewhat upgrade-able. I do wish the screen had better color quality as it is somewhat washed out but it's not terribly noticeable in general use. I barely ever use it not connected to a charger so I can't speak to the battery life but it runs FFXIV very well (pre-Dawntrail graphics upgrade).

    My son's first gamer laptop. His last laptop was an Acer. It was a killer value and served him well, though it limited his gaming experience. This seems to perform OK for his needs, but he doesn't play a lot of games that tax a laptop's resources. Only issue so far is the fan. Surprised it runs constantly with an SSD and could be quieter. I could understand more if he played real demanding games. A month into ownership and the fan is making a whine. We'll see how smoothly a warranty claim goes.

    Solid performer. It's reasonably fast and the video card easily keeps up with most video games, What surprised me was how well this is built. The screen on previous Acers were fragile compared to this monster. I was very pleased with the audio volume. I returned an MSI Bravo 15 because I could barely hear the audio. I'm very pleased with its overall performance.
