Customers are saying

Customers are positive about the Nitro 5's performance, especially its speed and gaming capabilities, and many find it offers good value for the price. However, customers are negative about the battery life and some report issues with fan noise and heat generation during intensive use. The relatively small storage capacity is another common concern. While some appreciate the keyboard, others find the laptop to be somewhat heavy.

    I was just wanting a on average gaming computer for some slow days at the college. And I got so much more the price, I would 100% recommend it for those that need something reliable and or for casual gaming. I love that I could add more storage if necessary.

    I don't think you can purchase anything better for this price. We bought one for our 12 year old daughter when on sale and bought another (the Ryzen version) for our 8 year old. They love the laptops for their homework and gaming. I like that it is upgradeable and am about to add a 1TB NVMe to expand the storage.

    We have really enjoyed this computer. My son uses it for his homeschooling. I love the light up keyboard! I know that it is a gaming computer, but even for those who don't game I recommend this computer!

    Bought this for my son to use for college. He picked it because he also wanted to play his games on this laptop. It has been a great purchase for him to do his Zoom classes, homework and play his games.

    Pretty good computer but it’s advertised to have “immersive gaming audio” but when you put the speakers on the very bottom of the laptop it makes it pretty dang difficult to have an immersive experience with the audio. I have to use a separate speaker all the time because the computer is so quiet even on full volume. Still happy with the computer as a whole but the speakers being out on the bottom of the laptop was a bad choice.

    I ended up returning this after seeing that the reviews for the AMD cpu version were better. This seemed like a good beginner's gaming laptop though.

    I am very happy with the laptop. My son thinks my purchase was 'acceptable.' He thinks we should get one of those liquid cooled 4000 dollar jobs. For under a thousand dollars, I don't feel you could purchase a better gaming laptop. Best Buy's service and tech help is top notch as always.

    My daughter needed a computer because her pervious computer died. This computer fit her needs perfectly. It has an ample amount of ports to connect anything you need unlike other computers that make you buy dongles. This was ready to go out of the box and can run anytime we throw at it.

    The laptop is great but for some reason it has audio problems I had to call costumer service, they were great and fixed my problem they said it ha to do with windows 10, other than that it is great.

    Had a Acer Predator Helios 300 prior to this that I broke, Got this (mostly) because it was one of the cheapest gaming laptops in the store. Not by any means a computer expert, however I would say this is on par with my $1200 laptop I had prior to this. Love it, totally great purchase.

    For this price point you really cant ask for a better laptop to play a lot of games on, the 256GB SSD is a little small unfortunately but you can always add another into this. 8GB RAM is sufficient but again you can always add more. If you can get this on sale, get it!

    Overall this has been a great laptop, but some of the keys have started to stick despite not spilling anything or eating over it. I was disappointed that there’s not a place for memory card, CD drive, or HDMI cable.

    Great laptop. I bought this for my wife and she loves it. One of the good things about this laptop is that the memory and storage are upgradeable. In the future, we plan on increasing both the memory and storage in order to handle future applications.

    I purchased laptop not for gaming but to do some editing in photography and I needed a laptop that had enough power to handle this program. I love how the keys light up when touch them. And the fan on it is insane. It does not get hot.
