Shopped around for a good laptop and chose this one. It’s fast, great graphics and easy set up and use. Seems a little heavier than a lot of laptops of similar size but performs great.

I've had this computer for over a year now and I love it! It's super fast, the interface is user friendly, and the keyboard is set up perfectly. The processors are great, too. I play a few PC games here and there and it can run them with no problem! It does have some weight to it, but it's not an issue.

Does a solid job of allowing me to play MMO's while I travel for work. I do a lot of PVP and am able to compete while on wireless at different hotel chains.

Looks pretty sweet, I like the red backlit keyboard. Runs perfect for my needs. I play WOW with no problems, doesn't get too hot. A great basic gaming laptop for the price!

Very sturdy laptop, runs fairly quietly even under load. The keyboard feels great and the speakers sound crisp and clear. Really like the display, as it's bright and vibrant. Set up is quick and easy to get going after the unboxing. It comes with its own laptop case/sleeve which is a nice touch.
My particular model did come with the sata cable and metal tray for a 2.5" ssd too!
Really happy I bought this.

Purchased this for my gamer son. Its a decent computer for the price. Never realized i still had to down load graphics software for a gaming computer. Thought it would have been predownloaded since that was supposed to be a high end feature on this. Oh well.

Fantastic Laptop for the Price

I've owned this laptop for about six months now, and I have to say, this laptop is great! This is great for doing school work and some light gaming, which is what I bought it for. The only issue I have with it is the CPU. It can get hot at times when under a light load, but it can be easily mitigated by making sure you're up to date on your updates. Overall, it's fantastic!

Okay. Does not work for Oculus Rift

After much research, the Acer Nitro 5 looked like a great deal. It has a sticker that says Oculus Ready. Unfortunately, after an online chat with Acer, this is not true. The tech support person did not know why Acer would put this on the computer. There is no Display Port adapter or mini DP. The USB-C port is not capable of displaying the graphics either. This is an okay laptop, but there are others out there that are more fairly priced and capable of not only working with Oculus, but also have other features and better customer support. Shop around.

Very disappointed
I loved the speed of the system but the fact that during my school report it just started to reboot and never recuperate.
Tried to recover and fail
Tried to reload factory setting and failed
Took in to Geek Squad and see if they can do anything
