    I wish the power cord receptacle was at the back of the right side and the speakers were at the top instead of the bottom front but otherwise really awesome laptop that handles everything awesomely.

    I run multiple business applications at the same time (typically 5 programs running, some with multiple instances) I also have two monitors attached. This gaming laptop handles it all beautifully!!!

    I have had this laptop for a little over a year and a half. I loved it until it randomly crashed while I was working. It wont turn on, and I dont want to waste money buying a new charger if there is more wrong with it. I should not have issues after only a year and a half of use. Its well taken care of, in near perfect condition and not over used, either. I am extremely upset that I spent $900 on it already just for it to shut down for no reason.

    This is an amazing computer if you are looking for something fast with a lot of memory. I do photography and have a lot of pics, there is plenty of room for all of them on top of game installs.

    Great computer comparative towards the price. One of the downsides to it is the battery life is can fluctuate from an hour to a couple or so . But overall an amazing laptop

    A great gaming laptop for around $700 if you can buy it for that price. I treat this laptop like an Xbox. It's hooked up to a TV. Cooling fan is quiet. I chose this Nitro 5 over a Msi laptop.

    I really enjoy this laptop. I have had some rough experiences over the past several years, but this has been the best laptop that I have had so far (and it was about the same price as one of my others and less expensive than my last one). Granted I have only had it about a month, but still best laptop decision I have made. It was a little clunky and confusing trying to get everything installed just because of the two storage drives and trying to specify which drive different software should be on. However, I really appreciate the extra space and not having to fight the constant battle of removing software or games to put on new stuff that I need.

    I think this is one of the best laptop I ever had. Very good, could be more good if I had 16 gb RAM and 560 gb SSD but it will cost more. Very happy with this price for this laptop.

    I got this laptop for VR gaming and it holds up well, not many display port options though. Wish battery life was a little better but easy get around (I just leave it plugged in)

    I've had this laptop for over 2 years now and it has been the best one I've ever had. I may not use it everyday but when I do it still starts up super fast and the games I play on it work good like they should. I can't really tell you about the graphics on it because I mostly play games that don't require too much so if you're looking for a laptop that can handle older games and games that don't require too much then this laptop is for you. Definitely worth the money.

    Solid computer for a low price. Ended up adding 8gb of RAM to bring it up to 16GB which made a huge difference.

    Bought this laptop mainly for school and work. Not a gamer but would be interested in some casual gaming in the future. Chose this laptop primarily for the large and clear display, backlit keyboard and solid reputation of ACER products. Also I needed to store hours of video and selected the 1 TB drive which I am told is not best for gaming. One major flaw is that the speakers face down and totally muffles the sound. I have a $200 Chromebook that is louder and almost as clear. Also this laptop is heavy for a 15.6"er but I use it at home 90% of the time so it wasn't a huge minus. Looking to upgrade the RAM in the future.

    the acer nitro 5 is a really good by for the price range you get 9th gen i5 processor and you get a nvidia 1650 4gb gpu 128gb ssd and a 1tb hhd all for under 900 dollars you cant beat it
