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.

    All of the hardware in it is suitable to run most of the current titles well. The battery life is good for a gaming laptop, often averaging over 4 hours during normal browsing and watching videos. The only downfall I would say is the lack of storage. I would recommend buying a HDD to add to it, but it really isn't required, the SDD has adequate storage.

    I bought this for my son to use for general gaming and use with the Oculus Rift. My only frustration was with the USB-C port which doesn’t support video output (all the other ports are required for the base use of the Oculus, so we had to use a $70 adapter to export the video to our TV so that the family could see the same thing as the player).

    Bought a second Nitro 5 for my step-son because the power for price is unbelievable. Typically, I would have turned my nose up at Acer in the past but the quality has gone up of their components. I also have an Acer Predator 34-inch curved monitor and I have never been happier with a monitor. That purchase led me to seriously consider the Acer Nitro 5 and I am glad to include the Acer products going forward.
