Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've been playing Destiny 2 on this thing for several months now and it's been great for that! Running it at extremely high settings while still getting between 50-100 fps. This computer will do anything you can throw at it for the price point! The only things against it is that you need to update the BIOS right out the box and the keyboard has audible clicks after a key has been used a certain amount of time. It can also get really hot, so I recommend having Nitrosense on max when playing demanding games, and if you cant launch Nitrosense I have a solution to that on the Acer forums under my display name here

Pros and Cons (2 YEAR REVIEW): *45-60 FPS on Very High 1080p in most games, Can play all games in 45 fps on low at the very least (RD2, God of War, Other AAA games as of 2021). Games older than 2017 will work fantastic. Game pass cloud streaming is flawless. *Can hookup to a 4k monitor with 144hz with zero lag for office use *Very quick and can handle multitasking very well *Moderately light, has all usb hookups you need. *Handles CAD/SolidWorks, Photoshop, rendering of small assemblies of ~40 parts well. Fantastic for student use. *Display is good, but not super vibrant or colorful. -Bad battery without editing power settings (2.5 hours). Lookup power plan editing, able to stretch out to 6 hours if using this method. -Camera is grainy but usable. Microphone sounds like speaker mode on your phone to other listeners so usable but not great. -Disassembly for upgrading HDD and RAM is a major hassle, many small screws, weird snap mounts. -Low HDD means you will be running out of space without an upgrade pretty quick. -Keyboard turns off glow every 20 seconds after turning on with no option to keep on unless you're constantly typing. Worth the money? Absolutely, unless you want a desktop ultra high resolution setup on the go. This PC has performance way over Zen books at 2-3 times the price. Highly recommend.

This laptop is known as a budget laptop, and it totally is. I can play several games, like CSGO, Dishonored, fluently. And the ssd give me the pleasure of a fast windows 10 startup. I am really satisfied with y purchase. Is lightweight, not that expensive for a gaming laptop and easy to use. Plus, if you work or play at night, the backlit keyboard will be your best friend.

This laptop has been perfect for someone like me who is new to PC gaming and didn't want to completely break the bank. So far, ive tried many games and all of which run great, even on their highest settings. *The following stats are with an 8GB RAM upgrade, which is very easy to do on this laptop GTAV 70-100+ fps Warzone 60-70 fps Overwatch 70-100+ fps Flight Simulator (VERY demanding game) 30-45 fps This laptop is also great for school use and regular internet browsing, as well as streaming. For the price, this laptop is an amazing all-rounder.

I haven't bought a computer or played P.C games in years. Bought this one for Christmas and does everything I need it to do I upgraded the RAM and SSD card to make it run even smother and faster which was not hard at all. Great computer for a beginner or someone just looking for casual game play. I coneccted 2 extra monitors to it and it works great. Very impressed with the quality of this P.C. for the price

I bought mine on sale for $619.99 and couldn't be happier. I added a 1TB Seagate Firecuda HSSD, a 1TB WD Black M2 drive, and 16GB 2933MHz Kingston HyperX RAM. The BIOS does NOT support Intel XTU and undervolting, but I can run Throttlestop in the background with a profile for the i5-8300 and my temps are 20C cooler when gaming on HIGH settings. The keyboard is red ONLY, but it feels great. The trackpad is good, but I use a wired mouse. I have one spot of screen blooming just below the camera. Its only noticeable on a solid black screen and expected from an IPS panel. This PC is also VR capable. I use my PSVR, Move controllers, and 2 PS3 cameras to play Beat Saber and other games.

Really great gaming PC for the price. Like the red keyboard. The display isn't as sharp as others even though it's 1080p. Sound is a little soft but headset or speakers work great! Love the way the Nitrosense works for cooling the comp because otherwise it runs a bit hot. Enough ports to get main stuff hooked up. Overall great PC and fast to handle even Battlefield franchise.

Coming from the Mac world I needed something to play games on but wouldn't break the bank, This was it. Overall great performance. Great deal!

Best affordable and high-powered gaming laptop you can buy. The 15.6-inch screen allows for awesome viewing and gameplay. the Nitrosense button allows for cooling and manual control of the CPU fan for efficient gameplay. The red led backlit keyboard adds for nighttime gaming and a pure aesthetic gamer look. The GTX 1650 graphics card plays fast-motion games with ease and the movement is as realistic as you can get. Only with there were more color options available. Check out my review on Youtube - link below https://youtu.be/QnRh_ivtKgM

Yes the screen brightness and quality isn’t as good as other laptops but it’s a great laptop for the price aswell as the material. Down side is the battery life, but I usually just have it plugged into the wall.

Fast, and Light-weight for a Gaming Laptop. I had a hard time setting it up though, but was able to set up using the manual.

Great PC, easy to use, affordable. The keyboard is awesome!

This is one of the best laptops I have ever purchased. I can hook up my note directly. Tethering/ Bluetooth . Download apps and play games. Great screen resolution and sound bar. Upgradeable storage.

CPU Runs hot when gaming from diablo 3 to cyberpunk 2077 just runs hot other then that its great I've added a tb ssd to store my games and going to be upgrading the ram here soon

I am not new to laptops and custom built computers. However, like everything else, things change. I am a Chromebook person, which is good for basics. But I needed a laptop that had great specs, a good video card, clear picture and lots of memory and Ram for video conferencing and video meetings. As a bonus, it plays games great. The Acer Nitro 5 15.6" Screen, has a very good build quality and for the price ($700+-) I found nothing that compared. I really like this computer-plenty of USB ports, great camera and other outputs. Since it is a gaming laptop, it has superior cooling of the CPU.

Awesome gaming laptop and great price! My daughter absolutely loves it!! So far it’s performance has been great!

man this laptop is fast! It's got a big punch for a great price.

The value to quality ratio on this gaming laptop are superb. Plays most AAA titles on high settings.

Best place on electronic im buy gaming computer recommended 100%

I’ve had this pc since 2020 and I’ve used it as a gaming pc. Fortnite, Overwatch, Hogwarts Legacy, Among us, Apex, GTA, dead by daylight, sims 4 (with a lot of mods) to name a few. Ive also streamed to my friends on discord and have used an android emulator. I’ve had many problems with this pc but most were solve-able. It did come with a broken mousepad so I just brought a separate mouse. The battery went bad so I had to use it with the charger plugged in 24/7 or it wouldn’t turn on. It had this problem in the past where it would randomly turn off during games, or just overheat. So I put a fan on it and that solved that problem. I had to update the ram to 16 gigs last year cause of the lag. I’m not rough with the pc at all and some of the screws for the back of the case came off. I replaced them. I’ve had to order two different keys. For the w and s which are two of my most used keys. The front of the laptop where the keyboard is has a small crack on the both sides, and the bottom of the case where the screw connects broke off. I always cleaned my fans, and kept the inside dust free. But just this month I was using the pc, just discord open nothing taxing, and it turned off. Plug the charger in, no light, it won’t come on. I brought a new charger cause I thought maybe that was the problem, nothing. Got a new battery, same thing nothing. I’ve tried disconnecting the battery and charger, holding power button for 60 seconds, then reconnecting nothing. I tried disconnecting the ram one at a time to see if one of those went bad, nothing. I tried a bunch of different fixes people said worked for them but nothing. I loved this laptop for years and I really hope it’s not broken because I cannot afford a new one. Currently saving up to take it to the computer repair shop. Fingers crossed.
