    This laptop is a great deal, I really have no complaints about it. I am impressed with the gaming capability and all of the normal features it includes. It wont run long on the battery if you are gaming, but you should be plugged in if you are gaming anyway.

    This Acer has a better graphic card and cooling system than competition. You’ll end up spending extra on memory and storage to bring this model up to par. First AMD for me as I’ve always favored Intel. Recommend for college students.

    Lots for your money here. 4 x USB 3.2 gen 2 ports including a USB-C port. The Ryzen 4600H CPU kicks butt. Don't worry about the NVIDIA GTX 1650 graphics, it will play 95% of the games out there at full HD settings. Only downside is the touchpad is a little cheap.

    We are enjoying this laptop so far. Looks good with the red backlit keyboard. Picture and speed are both working well for gaming and school work. The keyboard could be a little stronger as it seems that some keys are already loosening, but we are happy for the price.

    Bought this for my son a day school laptop that could also run games. The expandable ssd slot and memory slot are great options to help boost it after the initial purchase. This laptop does exactly what we hoped for and looks really cool, too!

    Great internals. But the quality of the build does take a hit. The screen has significant backlight bleeding. I will exchange the product. There were couple of times when the laptop screen wouldn’t turn on when I open lid when it’s in sleep mode. No usb C charging. Wish there was atleast some slow charging via USB C.

    I bought this laptop when it first came out. Its decent but I'm still angry that acer advertised this computer for 144 hertz display. Battery life is bad. I upgraded the ram to 16gb. Performance wise is decent but I started receiving lag in Tanki Online and its annoying. The game isn't graphically intensive but I'm not sure whats causing the sudden drop in fps. Wish I could've returned it and got a better laptop with a higher refresh rate like an MSI or Asus Rog. Never buying from acer again.

    Yes, the Acer Nitro 5 is a laptop that can handle the system requirements of Fortnite *lol*. The performance on this laptop is great for the price. I'm pretty happy-pure and simple, the Acer Nitro 5 is just a good deal with excellent gaming performance

    The Ryzen Series, is just as or possibly better than its Intel variant. Both operate amazingly, and I never overheat my computer because of the amazing fans. Overall, if you wanna spend less on the computer and more on games this computer is perfect!

    As someone who doesn't have the biggest budget, this is a very good buy for the money. It can play games such as warzone and GTA5 and a plethora more of high brand titles.

    This laptop runs all of the newest games, you can leave windows on it or you can run Linux if you want. It runs all of the newest game regardless, you would have to download the Nvidia drivers for Linux, but it works great!

    Excellent value for money. I have been using it for nearly a year now with no performance issues. I will have to say that the 2 usb ports on the left stopped working after 4 months. Except for that the laptop has been excellent

    The Ryzen 5 processor has handled everything I’ve given it, as has the Nvidia GPU. Works smoothly, quickly, and it’s upgradable so I can count on it meeting my needs for some time yet.

    Like a lot of people that will look at this laptop, price was my main reason for looking at it. Ryzen 5 4600h and a GTX 1650 dedicated GPU is good enough for moderate gaming. I play most games on High settings and it runs them fine. The SSD is a bit on the small size so I upgraded with second M.2 drive. It only has 8 gb of ram but has a second ram slot so you can upgrade. Battery life is pretty good when not gaming. Overall I love it and would buy it all over again if I had to.

    Got this for streaming on Facebook gaming live & have had ZERO issues with it. Absolutely love it! I don’t game on it, just wanted a portable powerful laptop. Other than that, it’s amazing. I would recommend getting external memory!
