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.

So far so good everything works like a dream considering I upgraded from a 2012 Samsung laptop that was on its last leg. Ruins my engineering software amazingly. Also not bad at running most of the games I play on steam.

Couldn't be happier with this laptop. This is the intro level Nitro gaming laptop, but the memory is expandable and the remaing specs are more than enough for my daughter in college.
One thing to consider when buying this laptop is the size. This isn't as small or lite as other machines, but since the memory is expandable, you can stretch out the life of the machine further than other similar laptops.

I like it, it has the power I need. I can upgrade the memory and add a hard drive if I so desire. However, I am not impressed with the battery life. I realize that I am going to loose some battery life when I run some programs. But I think going from 9 hours to 4 hours is a little much. Would I recommend it for others, I sure would.
You get what you pay for and this was worth paying for. I just keep it plugged in unless I have to go somewhere!

I was very skeptical at first. There’s so many choices when it comes to computers these days. But I’m very pleased with the speed and power that this has. And plus I got at a great price.

Great laptop! Quick start up and the back light on the keyboard is very cool. No lag time and great key action when striking the keys. I would buy it again. Graphics are awesome too.

I’m actually amazed at how great this laptop is for gaming. Graphics are high quality and there’s no lag. Bought this for my 14 year old son as a starter for his gaming and it’s perfect.
The only thing we had to do was buy more memory but that was easy to hook up (you just plug it in) and not expensive. He would like to hook up a separate monitor so the screen is bigger. But that’s his personal preference, not an issue with the laptop.
He was able to download several popular games (Minecraft, Rocket League, Among Us, Fortnite, etc.) and create a mod server for one of them and runs all that with no problem.
Definitely recommend.

This laptop is great for gaming. I’ve owned a few other laptops that were for gaming, and I gotta say that this one is great. Pretty awesome and smooth for a good price. Money well spent.

We had tried an HP with and i5 and and a Samsung flex with an i7 before trying this Nitro 5. We returned the first two since they stuttered during zoom calls. The Nitro 5 was able to handle our zoom calls with the least lag!
It has rather quiet speakers, full blast is barely above normal speaking volume.
It has a Ethernet port and decent discrete graphics card.
We like the backlight keyboard, but wish we could change the timer for the light fade. It is always set at 30 seconds, or you can set it to always on with the ACER app.
Hard to find better bang for the buck!
