Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the Nitro 5's performance, graphics capabilities, and fast SSD, frequently citing its excellent value for the price. Many appreciate the backlit keyboard and ease of use, but some users note that the battery life could be improved and that the laptop can get warm and noisy during intensive use. The laptop's weight is also a point of concern for some customers.

    This computer is cheap and simple but my steam games play so nicely on it! I’m taking about Sims 3, House Flipper, and even Skyrim! I can’t wait to try Warframe on it!

    Doesn't do too bad for light gaming. The fans try to keep it cool, so they will crank up pretty high when using the Vid Card, but it works pretty well for the price!

    This is my first gaming laptop and so far it’s working great. It’s very fast when I load my games and the processing time is also fast. I’m very happy that I got it.

    I've been looking for a portable gaming system that I can take on the road with me. I'm a pilot, so having something to do in down time is high value, and having something without moving parts (ie. spinning hard and DVD drives), makes me feel better about it not being damaged if someone gets rough with my luggage. I've been playing Star Trek: Online and World of Warships on maximum settings and it doesn't even flinch. Frame rates tend to stay above 50fps, and the fans don't even sound like they're workin over 50% capacity when compared to the "Max cool" setting. Was a great price, and a great computer.

    Purchased this for my nephew. He absolutely loves it. His other gaming PC overheated. So far this machine has been absolutely amazing and perfect for his gaming needs.

    This is the one of, if not the fastest laptops you can get for $800 (sometimes less). The 8th gen i5 8300h is faster than the previous generation i7 7700hq and for the same price. If you plan on using it for gaming the 1050 ti is a must. It's nearly 25% faster than the non ti variant. If you are gaming on a budget this laptop is a good value. Just don't update the bios to 1.22 since there is a bug causing the keyboard light to shut off every 30 seconds....plugged in or not. Overall a great laptop with room to expand with a empty 2.5" bay and an available memory slot to easily expand to 16gb.

    For gaming, in general, this laptop does great! I just needed something mobile that I could do some lighter gaming on and didn't have a lot of money to spend on it, this laptop was the ticket. I have been using it for a couple of months.

    The only problem I have with this beginner gaming laptop is it gets hot very fast if you buy one you have to get a cooling pad to keep the temperature down.
