    I bought this for my husband because he wanted a p.C.But this is more of an affordable price for us.And overall, he's very satisfied with it.The only issue he has is just the battery doesn't last as long as we thought.But it's good it's fair

    I bought it for playing games like, Escape from Tarkov, Star citizen, Call of duty, but out of all the rigs I’ve owned (desktops) this laptop worked amazing and couldn’t have been happier the thing I most impressed with was the fact it was able to handle star citizen at full graphics with no issues and I was able to get two additional monitor to work with the laptop! Overall this laptop exceeded my expectations and would highly recommend!

    This laptop is amazing. I got it during a super sale so I got a lot for the purchase value. The GPU is decent but it can have many games on some new games running on middle graphics level and old games on max graphics level. It is a gaming laptop so it will be loud and battery life will drain fast if not plugged in, my experience with the battery life while playing games is roughly 40 minutes. Space is adequate for non-game purposes.

    Although it was an open box laptop, it looked exactly like a new one with all the accessories and the carton intact. The specifications were exactly as captured in the description. It was a good buy for me, because it fell within my budget at that time. The service at the store was good as well. The laptop was available for pick up and I spent less than 10 minutes for the entire transaction at the shop.

    Absolutely in love with the Acer five nitro, one of the best investments I’ve ever made going into Best Buy not being game seven and having the associate explain the pros and cons of the system. I would definitely excited to invest in this laptop and also be able to experience all of this different justifications to customize to my settings definitely high-quality and recommend this product to anyone but if they establish or beginning, gamer or for personal use as well to be implemented into business aspect, this is definitely all in one laptop

    Surpasses expectations for price, battery is meh

    Entry level gaming budget = entry level expectations, but definitely still packs quite a punch for the price! Runs most of my games at high settings/60fps/1080p perfectly fine, & can even achieve 1440p/60fps on some older titles like gta iv with ease on an external monitor. The battery is definitely not meant to game on for more than an hr without having the charger available, but with that being said it can last a fair while longer if you optimize your OS for battery life & just use it as a general pc for study or work. I was really in the market for a laptop specifically to live tune my project car while also getting some extra entertainment out of it, & it has certainly not dissapointed! The screen reolution & battery life are really my only gripes, but it comes with the price. You most likely wont find a better (brand new) laptop in this price range; A good deal for what you get overall, especially if you can snag it on sale. Have witnessed a couple boards have solder/chip issues leading to the graphics card not being detected, or other issues seemingly related to being overheated/bent. Be mindful with the temps & device care & I don't believe this will be common, but certainly a possibilty & just the nature of such hot parts being so close together in less than ideal conditions. Keeping the fans clean & using NitroSense to set the speed to auto instead of battery saving should help a lot in terms of longevity for the hardware.

    Honestly pretty excellent, I was surprised by how many games it could run well while having good graphics on. The only thing is it gets a little hot but if used in a good environment I'm sure it wouldn't be an issue.
