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.

    Outstanding Budget Friendly Gaming Laptop

    In Box: Acer Nitro 5 laptop, power adapter, protective sleeve, HDD kit in case you want to add another hard drive for more storage. It does come with a 512 GB (SSD) Solid State Drive which gives me plenty of speed and space for what I need, but it comes with the kit in case you want to add the second hard drive for your movies, music and more games. Description: On the right side you have 1 USB port, headphone/mic jack and a spot to plug in the power supply. It is nice that there is an extra air vent on this side. On the left side you have 2 USB, HDMI port, a USB-C and an Ethernet port. It has a large 17.3” screen. It is a good size for playing games and watching videos. The images are crystal clear with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 graphics card. It has 8 GB of memory for multi-tasking. It weighs in at a little under 6 pounds, so it is not that heavy. It has a built-in HD webcam so you can video chat, etc. Battery life is around 4 ½ hours average of straight use. Sound: The sound is good through the laptop speakers, but having the right headphones makes gaming much more pleasurable and you feel more like you are actually in the game. Keyboard: Love the keyboard. It is full size and very comfortable to use. It is nice that the number pad is on there also. The keys light up red so you can see the keys in the dark or a dimly lit room. Recommendation: You will certainly spend a lot more money than this for a more professional style gaming laptop, but this does everything you could possibly want as a gamer. There are also much cheaper gaming laptops, but you won’t get half of what is on this to make the gaming more precise.

    I needed a laptop for basic windows function and some casual gaming. After some research and deliberation this is the one I went with. So far so good.
