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.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

    The laptop is a great entry level gaming pc. The issues are some cooling aspects when under more intensive use and all the difficulty in pushing the GPU to performance.

    Bought this a while ago for my younger brother, it still works very well. Graphics are great, gameplay is smooth, & it’s also great for everyday use. The only issue we came across was after a few months, some of the keys on the keyboard stopped working. We sent it to the company (Acer) and they fixed it. Ever since, it’s been smooth sailing. I would recommend getting warranty to be safe!

    This computer was amazing for like the first two weeks of having it. After that, out of nowhere I had WiFi connectivity issues and I couldn’t fix it in any way shape or form. I tried everything I could, resetting the network adapter, disabling it, uninstalling and re-installing, and more. Nothing worked. I really wish it had because this computer is so awesome if it would just connect to the freakin internet.

    Easy Setup, As usual with most manufacturers, had to clean up the 'Bloatware'. Would have liked a larger hard drive and an optical drive. Still a good machine.
