    A Lot of Bang For The Buck

    The Acer Nitro provides a lot of bang for the buck. The only drawback is the lack of a touchscreen or high-end graphics card. However, sacrifices had to be made at this price point. At the end of the day, the Nitro is a solid gaming platform. The resolution and image are good. The graphics card, while not a premium card, is good enough for the vast majority of games. The processor is quick. The memory is acceptable, although 16GB would have been nice and not much more expensive. Those are not really complaints, though. If the computer had cost over a thousand dollars, they would be complaints. But as is, those are just wish-list type items. The processor is plenty good to handle all but the most demanding games. It hasn't stuttered at all with anything I've thrown at it. Of course, just know that frame rate will drop with the really heavy stuff, but I haven't had anything crash on me. The red accent keyboard back-lighting and red accents on the spine look good. The keyboard is pretty decent for a laptop. I recall reading a review that criticized the font on the keyboard as being too thin; either the keyboard has been updated or that reviewer is a little off. The font is clear and legible. The keyboard really pops with the back-lighting. My son was ecstatic to see a solid gaming rig in the stable. Acer made me a hero. For that, I thank them!

    We had a laptop go down so we replaced it with this because the person would only play games on their laptop and it was only a beginner's laptop not a gaming laptop.

    I really like the computer especially when it is plugged in because of the back-light. My only complaint is when it is running on the battery the keyboard does not light.
