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.

    Solid Full HD gaming laptop

    Quick review, sort of. Excellent for game pass gaming, warzone, and is a beast when im doing work tasks on it. Needs to be plugged in because the battery is not great. Thats the trade off; the battery isnt the best but you get a great 144hz full hd screen, a very good graphics card and an excellent pentium i5 gen 12 processor. For the price its an amazing laptop. Definitely would recommend as a starter gaming laptop. If you want more processing power and a 4k display expect to pay quite a bit more.

    It’s an okay laptop for the price. Main issue you have to spend more money for a fan because it likes to heat up. Another thing I don’t enjoy is the speakers are always on the bottom of the laptop make it make sense why it’s there.

    Makes a great Linux workstation

    I did not buy this for gaming, but for using as a workstation. Linux installs and works perfectly, including Nvidia drivers (I used Debian Bookworm). The laptop remains cool and quiet during normal tasks. Fans spin up with CPU intensive work, but noise is fairly low. The dedicated GPU allows for recording 1080p video with ease from an external source using OBS Studio. The CPU is powerful enough to quickly do video conversions using Handbrake. I have installed a bunch of other Linux software for different sorts of work (3D CAD, office suite, Python development, vector graphics editing...) This laptop is a great bargain.

    We’ve had this laptop for a little over two years. Overall it has worked really well for gaming. It’s used everyday for about one to two hours. About a year ago an issue occurred with the keyboard and it wasn’t worth fixing so we use an external keyboard and mouse. It’s just starting to give us problems and I assume we will need to get another soon. For a laptop, I would assume this is a typical lifespan.

    We had a desktop from 2015 and it finally needed to be replaced because the sims wouldn’t load. At first the EA app wasn’t functioning but after a few attempts it runs very fast. So far the battery life is terrible and it’s heavy but it’s better than what we had.

    I bought it to try out Baldurs Gate 3 and it did just that. I was surprised it could handle the game albeit on some lower settings.

    I like it because it is not so noisy, and it is very fast, you connect the x box control and it works perfect! You can go hours without overheating and the battery lasts a long time!

    Great for gaming, have had no issues with any game. No cd-rom or card reader is more of an issue than I thought it would be. First Acer, I would buy a second.
