Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a very solid start-up gaming laptop. Easily upgrade with SSD’s also have the option to upgrade the ram. I bought this on sale but its definitely worth its MSRP. I would recommend this product to others easily.

I use the term cool loosely, as it does get extremely hot. Besides that and the battery life being too short, I have no complaints. It’s able to run most games at a pretty high level. Oh and the keyboard is pretty cool.

Good computer, fast, good looking. The only issue is the battery and the CPU. Yes, it is a gaming computer, but even setting everything to the minimum (turning off the fancy keyboard lights, and turning off the GPU fans) is not enough. For the CPU, it's better to upgrade to the i7.

Seeing that I have a gaming desktop, I wanted a gaming laptop that I could take with me almost everywhere and I was looking to buy a budget friendly gaming laptop. First, I did some research on a different gaming laptop MSI Katana GF76 and looking at the specs, it was pretty decent even though it was a budget gaming laptop, with a 17-inch screen, this was not in the price range that I liked (over $1000). I then researched the Acer Nitro 5 and compared the specs to the MSI Katana and saw that Acer Nitro had pretty decent specs. What convinced me to purchase this laptop was the I5 12th gen 12 core CPU, 512 GB SSD a GeForce 3050TI GPU, 144Hz refresh rate screen along with 16GB ram. All this for around $900. Sure, there’s some tradeoffs like the 512 GB SSD, battery life isn’t great, but I could always upgrade the SSD (which I’ve done already) to 1TB. I’ll probably add more ram if needed. I also love the RGB keyboard.

Great product on a budget. I bought this after returning an MSI with an RTX 3060. Despite having a better GPU, the MSI was wanting in terms of processing and memory RAM. This surely will not happen with this Nitro. A 12-core processor is the best one you can find in this price range. Worth it. It runs a lot of games smoothly. I am quite happy with the exchange I have made. Although, its cover could be a little more resistant. It is plastic but I would love steel instead. Maybe next time.

If you just need a laptop for gaming, then this is perfect. I run destiny 2 for hours and it never gets hot enough to make me worried of overheating.

Fantastic laptop & fantastic price! The speed in every way is great. The graphics are awesome. Highly recommend this computer- it’s been working well for me.

I bought this gaming laptop for my son to game on. He absolutely loves it, very easy to use for him with plenty of features and speed. This was very reasonably priced and provides a great value for the pricepoint.

This computer is reliable fast and the esthetic is nice as well. A little pricey but that is to be expected for the memory. I would also like to add that it is not lightweight, it is very heavy so, carrying it around would not be a pleasant experience. Overall it is a very nice computer.

Good gaming pc runs games smooth only thing i would have liked was the battery life sometimes not the best, other than that its a good pc.

This laptop is a nice performing machine for this price segment. Its fast and runs games at 1080p well. Not too heavy, but build quality feels nice. Just know what you are getting, 1080p and a 3050ti laptop GPU. Don't expect crazy performance given that.

amazing little laptop that i've been able to enjoy games such as Elden Ring, Baldur's Gate 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 on High/Ultra settings while still being able to stream without any performance issues. definitely recommend if you're on a budget, it's been working great since i got it in Dec 2022 and it is currently Aug 2024

This is a nice laptop at a decent price. Perfect for work and gaming. The keyboard is comfortable and offers a nice color changing layout. Good screen size for spreadsheets if using it for work.

I absolutely love this gaming computer. Especially for the price you’re getting it! I will say you have to have it plugged in to use it. Its battery life without it is not great. You’ll know it’s not plugged in if your game is lagging like crazy lol

I use it everyday for gaming and casual browsing it’s amazing. Just bought Assasin creed shadows and I runs perfectly even on highest settings.

Product is as advertised, runs games well on performance mode, and has 10x my productivity. Battery life is the only thing preventing this from being 5 stars. 9 hours could be better in my opinion.

My wife was wanting a fast but stable laptop that could play sims with no hassle. The nitro Acer has been great so far. Only complaint would be battery life is horrible if not plugged in. But over all my wife is very happy with the speed and the nice keyboard colors.

Amazing laptop I got for my girlfriend to game with me. Top notch speeds and graphics to play high end games.

High erformance laptop, battery is average but it games well

I would recommend it to everyone its lightweight and durable fast and easy to use . I love the effects and lights in the key board. love it
