    I bought this for my son for his birthday. I wanted a gaming laptop that had decent specs without spending too much. This had better specs compared to a couple others in this price range. I was very pleased with the build quality and performance. I had an issue with some random shut downs and blank screens when we first got it, but I updated all the firmware including the bios and that has taken care of any issues. My son loves it.

    Works fast but has a low battery life. Works for everything I do, perfect for editing and running medium on games. Ssd is the way to go.

    This laptop is phenomenal when it comes to gaming. Acer nitro 5 has a nice design. It runs Overwatch in high like a boss. However, according to some people, this laptop has a problem when it comes to battery. My acer nitro 5 shuts down randomly without any warning. It happens 3-5 times a day, charge or not plugged in. Overall, I like this laptop but I would definitely get a 2 year warranty when buying this laptop.

    A mid range laptop that can run basically anything you throw at it without any problems. In my case, by running something that requires a lot of the GPU (Like ARK or Destiny 2) I did notice some performance drop. By dropping some in-game settings and replacing the thermal compound I was able to minimize those issues. The fans can get loud when under load but I’ve never gotten over 74 degrees during gaming sessions. Overall it was definitely worth the price for what I got.

    Purchased this gaming pc for my friend and it’s definitely on par with the predator series (which I have). The graphics am are and cpu are top notch and runs rust at the frame rate cap for the display. Very budget option and you won’t find this hardware at this price for many computers. We did a lot of research and this fit the bill for all the newer pc games out today. Ram upgrade was very easy and 4 extra gbs helps a lot with games and just having multiple tabs open.

    I’ve had ~10 laptops over the years, always purchased in the $600-800 range. This was by far the best value I’ve had. I’ve bought reasonable component laptops before and was underwhelmed, meaning a weak component can actually sink performance in consumer level laptops - I’ve found no weak link in this one. Win10 runs great, productivity apps arnt as snappy as a good desktop but are very usable, and it has mes as well as you could hope at this price (30fps common).

    I have been using this computer for about a year now. It is a great entry level laptop for a PC Gamer but is also powerful enough to handle multiple work tasks with ease. I did upgrade from 8gb RAM to 16gb RAM right away to help with multi-tasking as I use this mostly for work. I deducted one star for the screen having a refresh rate of only 60Hz. Its marketed as a gaming PC so I think it should have atleast a 75Hz monitor.
