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.

    So I was told “oh it’ll only run below max setting for WoW and such” found out quickly that’s BS, people must’ve been referring to the other variant, this thing not only runs great, but it runs WoW on MAX. Also I run other programs while it runs WoW. I’m beyond impressed by this laptop. Also it does play other games great too lol.

    Bought this laptop to use while working from home. Very fast and battery life is pretty good. I installed Manjaro Linux on it to be able to remote into my work PC. Saved the 99 upgrade to Windows pro. Will upgrade the RAM and install another sad drive down the road. No issues so far and loving the upgrade. Any question let me know.
