    Everything works fine like Valerint Fortnite i get 300fps but that’s only in low settings and for some reason my Fortnite game and party chat is not working. I looked up every reason why my party chat is not working like I looked at my computer settings and fortnight settings, but my games are not letting me talk to other people but when I go to Discord and talk to my friends my friend’s can hear me fine. if somebody has a reason why add me on discord my user name is thiarlly#0158

    I initially had my mind set on an Acer Predator, but given availability during the Black Friday season, I ended up getting the "downgrade" of the Nitro instead. But for someone who has only just started with PC gaming with the intent of playing non-AAA games on it (with larger games for my console), I've been happy with the purchase. It was an easy set-up, and in the month since I've bought it, it has worked with Steam and Microsoft game pass with little issue. It's a little louder than I expected based on the other reviews I read, but you don't notice it with a pair of gaming headphones anyway. I ended up getting a cooling pad anyway, but initial start-up and play didn't seem to overtax it without it. Would recommend for beginners.

    This laptop is great. The 15.6 inch screen is perfectly fine for everyday work although if you're a huge gamer you might want something a bit larger. The backlit keys were a must for me so I was glad to see that feature came with the laptop. So far, no issues in performance. We got it on sale and a few days later the price dropped so we were given a statement credit immediately. Then the price dropped again and I called and got the additional credit right away (couteously and with no issue). The price has gone back up to its original price. We purchased Best Buy Total membership which covered the cost of the Geek Squad transferring our data and now for a year we have the advantages of that membership.

    I got this Acer Nitro 5 gaming laptop for my grandson for Christmas. He had desperately wanted a gaming computer. I was afraid it wouldn’t be fast or powerful enough for him but I couldn’t afford a more expensive one. Well, he just loves this laptop!!! When he opened the box on Christmas morning he was surprised he was speechless. He used it everyday and it is plenty powerful for him. He loves this laptops features and told me it is just as good as the more expensive versions.

    THis is a great budget friendly gaming laptop. It is a little big, and the keyboard mouse feel a little less than a high end laptop or macbook, the other issue I have is that the graphics card cannot be fully utilized unless using an external display. All in all though it plays all the games and works very well for the class of device that it is.

    Great laptop to play games on. I emulate lots of games and they run beautifully. It runs games like valorant, apex, fortnite and more very well although the graphics settings aren't going to be the very best. Overall great quality. wish the battery life was just a bit better.

    Bought this laptop for simple gaming with my son. Runs Rolk20 and even Baldur’s Gate smoothly. Wouldn’t put too many on it as BG takes up a lot of disk space.
