    Great computer. Can run practically any game with medium to high graphics. Only issue is that it was very sluggish to load. I clean installed Windows 10 on an nvme pcie ssd and it's very zippy now.

    The Acer Nitro 5 is my first gaming computer. Since I don't do a lot of gaming on the computer, it made it easy to get started. There is absolutely no lag, and the graphics are amazing!

    Got an ACER gaming PC. Worked great but windows operating system auto updates corrupted the whole PC. Kept locking it up and crashing. Had to get a new PC for the original lemon. That is the main negative. Best Buy understood, agreed, and swapped it out. The windows corruption issue due to auto-windows operating system updates was just extremely frustrating and no explanation other than to say “this happens”. Kind of like sh!$...right...it happens.

    The laptop took a bit for the initial setup, restarted 3 times but since setting it up my son has used daily for homework, surfing or playing games. Computer hasn't lagged for his online games.

    This laptop can play World if Warcraft and other pretty intense games without too much trouble. I dont play games at the extreme settings so I can't say if this laptop can handle that.

    We got this laptop for our daughters 15th birthday. Great for school and light gaming. She loves it! Lightweight and the backlit keyboard is her favorite as she likes to use it in the dark.

    Have been waiting for a laptop with these spec's in this price point for a while. I'm NOT a heavy gamer, but the games I do play have performed perfectly on this machine. So Far so Good.
