Customer Ratings & Reviews

It's a good laptop. Couldn't run mobas like paragon though.

It's good and it can also run the games I want to play.

Lots of bloat and popups, otherwise good product and packaging.

This Computer is good the only thing that ruins the entire thing is that microphone it has inside it SUCKS SO BAD LIKE IT sounds like the quility of a 2010 xbox microphone when EVER I SPEAK IT SOUNDS TERRIBLE I TRIED FIXING THIS PROBLEM ON THE SETTINGS AND I DID EVERYTHING and it still sounds like crap even if i connect a Microphone to it it still sucks it cant even capture my yellling or slight whispers OR IF I TAP somthing on my desk it wont even capture that sound i LITARLY HAVE TO SPEAK LOUD FOR THE MICROPHONE TO WORK.

Pretty nice, but for the price it should have an i7 processor

I was impressed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does hold a lot, but fan is pretty loud. I have only had it for almost a year and the charger stopped working but , other than that it’s a good computer

I only get like 3.5 hours on the laptop i have to leave it plug i. So i can do thing thatbi need to do

The main thing wrong with this gaming laptop is that it overheats too often.

Overall meets expectations after about third shutdown it gives a bluescreen them reatarts to a backup os version

Glitchy right out of the box. Had issues recognizing PIN upon login. Tended to freeze up a lot.

For some reason it drops the network momentarily. This happens a couple times an hour.

Was a good computer started to get white splotches across screen

I'm happy with my laptop although it's not as powerful as I expected, but it still works and I haven't had any problems

There’s no mistaking that this is an entry level gaming laptop. The specs and the build quality affirm that statement. Picture quality from the monitor is okay and I don’t have any problem with the refresh rate. However, fan noise at full computational power is too loud to my liking. Fan gets so loud because this laptop doesn’t have the bells and whistles of cooling tech that we find in the more expensive line-up of gaming laptop. Sound quality is nothing special though the volume is loud enough for playing games in a small room. The spec bears previous generation of CPU and GPU so yeah, entry level. This laptop is also quite heavy as it is quite expected for gaming laptop at this price range. The good news is, it’s no worse than other entry level gaming laptop I’ve used before. In terms of performance, however, this gaming laptop does quite well when the graphics setting is set optimally. Monster Hunter runs well with good framerates and it feels smooth. I somehow don’t really like the tactile response of the keyboard but that’s not something major. However, some players who rely on more responsive keyboard for e-sports might want to try the keyboard to see if it is up to their liking. Overall, I think this is a good budget gaming laptop that performs as intended by the spec. This laptop is useable for playing latest big title games, just don’t use max setting. Low and some medium setting is okay. And not only for playing games, this laptop is quite capable enough to edit photos and videos and of course running typical office apps. I think this laptop is geared more toward younger generation looking to get their first gaming laptop while using it as their school desktop at home. They will like the color LED illuminated keyboard and it will play Roblox and Fortnite without problems.

It's fine. Nothing special. Mid last-gen laptop.

Bought and returned 5 days later. Battery life was terrible, averaging around 3 hours. Not sure if it was just defective or if they're all like this.

Punch line: great laptop! I have never owned an Acer brand before and this Acer - Nitro 5 15.6" Gaming Laptop FHD-Intel with 12th Gen Core i5 caught my attention while I was browsing BestBuy.com First of all, this is a Gaming notebook (model AN515-58-57QW), it comes with beefed up specifications that are more than enough for casual gaming (runs Fortnite, Borderlands 3 wonderfully). You get full HD 15.6 crisp ISP 144Hz display, 16GB DDR4 3200MHz of RAM, 512GB PCIe NvMe SSD and NVIDIA RTX 3050Ti with 4 GB GDDR6 of dedicated VRAM. I think those specifications are definitely on par with the needs of most notebook users. I don't run any heavy duty applications that need 4 times of its RAM, and this notebook has performed absolutely how I expected it. I like its design, the slim bezel looks clean and modern, the keyboard does not flex and thanks to the backlit feature I can use it in the evenings without any issues. I find that this Acer has great cooling implemented and it does not get hot when I play games on it. This is definitely a very affordable notebook, and I know Acer has even higher end models if you need a power house, however I am more than satisfied how it runs and glad I picked it up!

This computer is by far one the best computers that I have owned, The processor is fast which makes for uploading and downloading things effortless. When you want to pull up content you don’t have to wait anytime. Some of the features on the computer is the fact that the umber are on the side of the key pad. Not having to fo into the top of the keyboard to input numbers is a plus for me, it is like data entry style. The backlit keyboard is a feature that makes it sleek. I love the fact that you can change the colors to what you like. When you are laying in the bed at night, you can change the colors so it isn’t that bright. The computer is very heavy. If you plan to take it outside or carry it around just know it has a little bit of weight to it. The screen on this computer is unbelievable. It is bright, and the optics are crisp an clear. The gaming graphics are amazing on this computer it makes for a real life show when you play your games. if you are looking for an economical computer but puts out expensive features, this is the one for you.

When I got home, I tried to turn on the laptop and it never responded. I had it plugged in also and the light for it to show it was charging never came on. Tried a while later and nothing. Returned it to the store. This is pure foolishness that it’s a new laptop and doesn’t work at all. Never heard an I’m sorry or the inconvenience or anything.
