Customers are saying
Customers consistently note the excellent performance and large screen size as major strengths of the Nitro 5 gaming laptop. Positive feedback also highlights the good graphics, RAM, keyboard, and overall value for the price. However, some users mention that the battery life could be improved, and the laptop's weight and potential for fan noise are recurring concerns. While some users find the laptop runs warm, others report it as easy to use and upgrade.

FAST!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this for my wife, as her old Toshiba was starting to peter out. She is not a gamer, but needs good detail graphics. This is a great computer! Super fast, awesome graphics, lighted keyboard is terrific. I've been an Acer fan for years and this one has certainly kept me a loyal customer.

Very good laptop
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First time owner of an Acer it does take a bit to get use to where all the control are opposite of an HP or Dell. My biggest complaints is the backlit keyboard does not stay lit and there is not way without adjusting the BIOS to do it from what I have researched. Also the volume of the speaker is not as great as other laptops I have owned, but overall a very nice laptop for the price.

Awesome gaming computer
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I only play The Sims but in the past, my other computers seem to not be able to handle the game as well. This one does! It has a great design. I think it looks so sleek and the red is very cool. It has an extra cooling setting so it doesnt overheat and it loads very fast!

Been great so far. Stars fast, plays everything
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For what I needed - a solid, dependable computer that runs fast and handles games - it's great. Not the best screen or speakers, but perfectly fine for the price and purpose. I'm very happy with it after the first 2 months. Memory and storage are very upgradable.

Great laptop for my needs
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Do not use it for gaming but for the price could not pass it on. SSD and crisp 17 inch screen make a great platform for my use (word processor and graphics. No CD drive and memory card slot are a bit of inconvenience but not a problem for me. So far great product overall.

Great for portable gaming!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was skeptical about this Laptop but when I booted it up I knew I had made a great decision on this purchase! Plus Acer made this laptop so you can upgrade the ram and SSD storage so it’s definitely worth the money, the only not so great thing is the screen brightness but if you have a extra monitor or tv I would recommend using the HDMI to escape the glare.

No problem
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great so far. Charges very fast and works without slowing down even with 10 windows open and a game running with a video on the side. (My way of testing) Battery lasted 5 hours. Not bad. It does get a little warm but that is to be expected after 5 hours.

Great gaming computer!
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My husband loves the laptop. He runs WOW on it all week, for hours at a time, along with a few other programs. It works great with an attached gaming monitor as well. I can’t rave enough about how clean it looks, functions and of course the quality for price.

Gaming laptop
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought this computer for our son to do homeschooling. It works great for what we bought it for. The only thing is that if it’s not used for a while (during the summer) and the battery dies we found that the battery doesn’t hold the charge for so long anymore.

Exceeds Expectations
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to set up, great price, fast and great look. Able to play all my Blizzard games with ease, as well as Witcher 3, which has been known to bog down a computer or two in the past. And is luckily keeping up with the new need for google classroom too.
