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.

Overall this laptop is very fast and can no doubt run most games smoothly. The backlit keyboard is great for using the laptop in a dark room. This is an amazing laptop!

I don't do gaming but as a music production PC works great. Can't wait to I upgrade to 32gig of memory. Also as a extra slot for second hard drive. Rarely see that

Nice design for the price. Screen is clear and my son is very happy with it. Plays Fortnite, Roblox among others. Only negative thing is that the battery dies pretty fast. Good for beginners in gaming I would think.

2nd computer, I took back an HP that didn't work, and got this instead, it is a nice computer, big screen, and I don't use it for gaming. Also, the associate that help me get this one was a complete douche...he was too busy looking at his phone, texting and I was having to wait on him to finishing and was rude and arrogant. I have already called the store to complain.

I haven't had any issues in the 7 weeks I've been using this laptop.
(Due to some negative reviews I waited a week before moving data from my old PC in case I had a issue.)
I've wanted a new PC with these specs for a while so when I was it on sale at BB, I grabbed it. I'm extremely happy with it. It's very fast very quiet, and the screen is beautiful.
While it's sold as a gaming laptop, I am not a gamer; I use it for casual home use. I've been using laptops for over 20 years and I could not be happier with this purchase.

As a kid I remember playing my first sims 3 game and first expansion sims 3 late night on my MacBook Pro thinking it would be the best computer to play this game on. I was mistaken and for years I dealt with extreme lag and serious performance issues even though my computer can most definitely handle the strain. i got this computer on a budget and I tell you best purchase I could have made. This reviews sole purpose is for anyone looking for a good computer to play the sims in with ultra graphics this is it!!

Needed a quick purchase to work from home, due to COVID-19. I struggle with the keyboard set-up, but it has great spread. I wished it had cd/dvd, but we have made it work.

I think it's pretty good for my first gaming laptop. The only bad thing about it so far is that the fan get loud. If you hookup to external speakers or head phones you should b fine

My recent purchase of the Acer Nitro 5 computer was exactly what I needed for great performance and speed at a price far less than similar computers with the same technology.
