Good gaming laptop, with a big screen, a nice keyboard backlight, and a good cooling system.

Had an older Nitro that would take 10 minutes to warm up to the point where i could start using it just to get into the internet. It would take another 5 minutes to load my game and my game would lag while playing. By contrast, this Nitro is super fast! It is ready to go immediately upon startup and takes less than 30 seconds to load my game. My game also runs so much faster on this laptop. Negatives: the edge is sharp and this is a heavy, hot laptop. If you use this on your lap like I do, you'll want to put a barrier of some sort between you and the laptop that doesn't make it even hotter. I use a usb, lightweight laptop fan pad. The edge of the laptop has a sharp edge, so if you rest your hand on the edge while using the trackpad, you’ll feel it cutting into your hand. I use a glove style cushioned wrist rest to combat the discomfort. This is also a really heavy laptop, so moving it with one hand can be a struggle depending on how far you're lifting it. Even with these negatives, the speed, speakers, graphics, etc make this a worthwhile purchase imo. I kept my last laptop for 4+ years, and I expect this one will last even longer. It is my faborite splurge in years!

Very nice computer very good for people whos starting to get into gaming the box is very protective and heavy.

Crazy powerful for its size, the screen looks great and it can run a lot without stuttering. My only (and big) issue (besides the fact that it has Windows 11, but what can you do), is that the battery life is TERRIBLE. Even running nothing but a browser on wifi, no video or music, and with all my settings adjusted to consume as little power as possible, I don’t even get 2 hours out of a charge. Playing a game gets me less than an hour. I know gaming laptops aren’t known for great battery lives, but I would have preferred something that I could sit down with and not require the charge cord at hand at all times. Luckily I don’t plan to travel with it, but if you’re looking for a laptop that doesn’t need an outlet nearby, this isn’t it.

Very satisfied with this. Its clean running and powerful enough for my purposes. The fan is a little loud but nothing bad at all or unexpected to keep a real GPU cool. I did find I had to do some setting modifications in Windows to make sure the real GPU was used by default, but that isn't specific to this model. Overall, I can't argue with the value. Battery is good, screen is good, power is good.

I purchased this laptop last month because I needed a good gaming laptop to play Sims 4 and so far so good! This laptop runs the game so smoothly with all the expansion packs that I have with the game! Also the size of the screen is a plus!! Would definitely recommend this laptop to anyone especially those who play the Sims!

Computer runs well, does what I need it to do. No problem running games.

Great gaming laptop for a good price, I got it at $750 when it was on sale. It's fast, reliable, and has multiple ram slots that I was able to work with. I replaced my 8GB sticks with 16GB. I'd recommend for anyone wanting to upgrade, beginner or pro.

Had it for about 1 year now. It's held up well - we mostly use it for watching videos or playing games. It has good brightness, fun light-up colors, crisp images, and nice keys for typing. Games run quick and with little lag. We mostly play small to medium games, such as small indie games or minecraft. The volume is pretty low compared to other laptops I've had or seen, such as Lenovo Yoga's and ASUS laptops. We have a Bluetooth Speaker that we use whenever we want to watch a Youtube video/etc together, because the volume doesn't get loud enough for us. Headphone volume is good - it's just the volume when not using headphones is bad.

This laptop works fine for me. I've played a couple games that recommend 16GB of RAM, and even though the base is only 8GB, the game plays well. The keyboard has a wonderful feel to it, and the screen size is perfect

After 3 laptops from one of the most popular manufacturers, I finally have a solid high-performance machine. This laptop is well built with key internal components that will serve me well for quite some time. Ample storage space and speed are its key points. One improvement I would have liked to see is the Harmon Kardon speakers. Additionally, they should have been placed at the top, in front of the screen, rather than under the front corners, where they are cushioned if you have the computer resting on your lap. Other than that, I'm very happy with Acer.

When I purchased this laptop i didnt realize quite how large it would be. But for its lack of portability, it does have quite some power for its pricepoint. The display is much better than anticipated and all things load in good time. The two weakest points for this laptop are its battery life and sound. This is a loud machine once it gets going. You know when something takes a lot of processing. It will tell you. While doing a system update I was worried of it achieving liftoff. The other weak point is battery life. Its battery lasts long enough to move it from one plug in point to another. This may be due to using more demanding applications, but regardless, battery life definitely seems to be lacking. Overall this is a powerful machine good for those who are prioritizing processing power and graphics over portability and battery life.

Good gaming laptop with a 17.3 inch screen. Bought it for my little sister and she loves it. Just add a another 8gb of ram for better performance.

Finally bought a new laptop after rocking my Macbook Air for nearly ten years...and I couldn't be more pleased. I purchased this specifically to run Sims 3 (incredibly outdated software and difficult to get running on modern computers), and it has truly delivered. This is a great gaming laptop but also sleek and light enough to use for school. Sturdy, well made, moderately priced. I cannot recommend this enough.

I been having this Laptop for the last 5 months and I did not have any problems with it yet overall it’s a pretty good gamer laptop . I can play games and do work on it.

Very good option, it even rolls very well for most games with game requirements, to create content, even for work from home.

Good mid level gaming computer. Best I've had, and it plays all the games from Steam, Xbox...etc. Stays cool with quad fans and has cool keyboard light schemes.

Very Good laptop. bought it for gaming and hasnt let me down. I like how i can change the colors of the keyboard. Graphics is 10/10 and has all the ram and storage you need.

If you’re into laptop gaming, but you’re on a budget, then look no further. The screen is huge and the processor has no problems keeping up.

The Acer Nitro gaming notebook is fantastic! It's perfect for both my 10-year-old daughter's gaming and my coding and film work. It's powerful, sleek, and has a high-resolution display. The keyboard is comfortable, and it's durable enough for an active child. It's versatile, allowing us to switch effortlessly between gaming and coding modes. The battery life is great, and it has excellent connectivity options. Overall, it's a reliable and adaptable companion for entertainment and productivity. Highly recommended!
