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 is a great mid level gaming laptop. My only complaint is that you can't make the keyboard backlighting stay on for more then about 30 secs

    I can sum this machine up with one word. Nice! There are a ton of great features on it and some of them are not evident until you look a bit closer. It is a gaming laptop and that being said, you won't find things like a touchscreen or a tablet mode. What you will find is an Intel CORE i5 processor, an NVIDIA Gforce GTX graphics card with 4GB of dedicated RAM, 8GB of DDR4 Memory (which uses less power and has much faster speeds), a 1080 full HD monitor with a wide viewing angle, backlit keyboard, wireless-AC, Bluetooth and incredible sound. The build on this machine is really muscular and solid. It has a cool black with red trim design and a red backlit keyboard. It comes fully equipped with lots of I/O. Three USB ports plus a USB-C port, an HDMI port, uSD card reader and a headphone/microphone jack. It also has an RJ-45 network jack. The first thing I noticed about this laptop was how fast it is. I mean really quick bootup time and hard drive access. Which by the way is a 256GB solid state drive that really makes a difference in the speed department. It had no trouble at all with multiple apps running at the same time. The only game I've run so far is Diablo III. I set everything to the highest levels and it played smoothly without any glitch or stutter. Visually, the game looked phenomenal. Rich colors, sharp edges and deep shadows. I also have to comment on the sound quality. It is truly amazing how good it sounds. Watching movies in virtual surround has incredible depth and sounds like it has a few more speakers than it actually does. It has Dolby Audio which has a six panel control and fine tuning app complete with a graphic equalizer. The monitor is clear and bright. It has a matte finish on it, this helps prevent any type of glare and also allows clear viewing from wide angles. I actually tend to prefer a glossy monitor because it seems to make everything look like liquid color, but I certainly see the advantage of the matte finish on a gaming laptop. All in all, I'm really happy with this machine. Plenty of power, great graphics, lifelike sound, all the ports I could ever want and newest, fastest features of a solid state drive and DDR4 memory. Acer packed a huge amount of features into this machine for a really great price.

    The red lighted keyboard blinds you however just broadcast laptop to your TV and get another keyboard to make this set up work.
