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.

Big MONSTER!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great display (bigger than I thought it would be), speakers and super freaking fast drive. Don't use it for games but for personal movie/picture conversions and watching streaming video. A bit heavy but not to bad.

Fast
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's new and seems like a great computer. Used a Lenovo for 8 years that still is ok but wanted something faster for business applications. If this one last 5 years I would say well worth it.

Great laptop for a great price!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I haven't had any issues, and that is impressive in itself given my poor luck with computers. I've been able to play my online games easily, and it's also worked well for my college courses.

Would have more than 3 stars, but ...
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.the wireless card keeps disconnecting, unfortunately it is intermittent and no obvious triggers. ( Not my internet connection dropping, as I am streaming with no lag or disconnect issues. ) Otherwise it has been quick and easy to use.

Great low cost gaming computer
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Computer works great out of the box. For a gaming laptop I don't see you getting much better for the price. The only modification I made was maxed out the RAM for multiprocessing.

Solid budget gaming rig
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Nitro line of gaming laptops is made to provide a solid gaming experience on a budget. Simply put, it delivers. The design is beautiful and eye catching without being garish. The red accents and lighting make it clearly a gamer’s machine. Acer, like other manufacturers, uses plastics throughout the build to lessen the weight and keep things cool. The autofan kicks on when the processor is working hardest, and the rig remains fairly cool. The fans are loud, of course, but they do the job. Acer knows displays—no exception here he screen is no glare, rich, sharp, and quick. Battery life is decent at about four hours online playing. Much longer than higher end rigs. I noted no lag, and the dedicated graphics RAM kept up just fine. I was actually pleasantly surprised by the quality, and I can definitely recommend this as a budget gamer. One poor design choice—speakers are at the bottom and easily muffled, but most of us use headphones to play now anyway.
