    I wanted a laptop to use at home for personal and work stuff. This one has been great. I thought the sound would be a little better but that is easy enough to connect to speakers if I really needed it. The speed, picture quality, overall weight and size are perfect. I love the backlit keyboard and separate 10 key for numbers.

    This laptop has exceeded my expectations so far. I bought it primarily to play World of Warcraft, which it runs perfectly. I also use it for Discord which runs great too. It was super easy to get it set up - I was online and gaming within 30 minutes of taking it out of the box. Great laptop at a great price!

    Specced out a new laptop for my wife and was impressed with this model. Got the machine quicker than the estimated date and easily set everything up for my wife. The speed on this laptop is fantastic. If you are looking for excellent power and easy setup at a reasonable price, we recommend this model.

    I bought this laptop for my son to use at college. It's overkill for that purpose but I'm a believer in having it in case you need it vs not having it and needing it. Laptop is well configured and was easy to let Windows 10 remove all the unnecessary bloatware by allowing a reinstall/wipe before we had set anything up.

    Best bang for the buck for a teenager. For under $700, it’s unbeatable. I almost want to buy myself one. 17” screen, Intel I5, 512 GB solid state hard drive.. video card is good enough to play Minecraft, roblox, among us, etc.. great buy

    Quality product and it performs as advertised. Easy set up and lots of options to control performance. Expansion capabilities are great. I wish the lighted keyboard would stay on longer. This may be an option I have not found. The Microsoft Flight program performs well on this system.

    Was looking to update my really old laptop. Wanted something very fast right out of the box and this is it. Amazing speeds and plenty of room for upgrades. Handles everything that I use a laptop for with great ease. Lots of bang for the buck. Did a lot of research, happy with my choice.

    We ordered this for our daughter to game with. She was amazed how much smoother and faster a gaming computer was compared to the family laptop. It has also made her online schooling a better experience by being able to customize her setting the way she likes. A very good purchase for our family.

    Bought for my daughter, Christmas present. She was good with MacBook Air but it was already 9 years old MacBook Air and ready to replace, she wanted gaming laptop. Nitro has mostly 5 stars. I picked nitro 5 and she loved it. Great sound, perfect resolution, and fast gaming.

    I wanted a new laptop that would be good for playing games. This has been a very good laptop for that. It runs everything smooth and fast. My only negative thing would be that it is a fingerprint magnet, but that is very little to say against it. Great buy!

    I bought this laptop for my child and it's a well built laptop for gaming and for a great price. My kid is very happy with the new laptop. I have an older gaming laptop and im surprised that this Acer is performing almost better than mine that i paid more for.

    I wanted a large screen as I typically use my laptop for watching movies. Those who game probably hate me for buying a gaming laptop but this fit my needs. My only complaint is the finish on the computer is a fingerprint magnet. I am looking at buying a vinyl skin to put on it.

    Great laptop for light gaming of 3-4 hours. I personally used it 8-10 hours plus but it really needed a fan. The bottom of the laptop gets really hot. This laptop needs more storage space especially if you have warzone or something you want to play.

    I have worked from home full time for years. I have the Acer Nitro Desktop, but wanted a laptop for backup or to use when I leave town. This has been perfect. The 17 inch screen is awesome compared to the 13 inch screen I previously had. Value for money was incredible.

    Good speed size and design. Wished it had a disc drive but did not check first so bought an external. BIG ISSUE is the keyboard it jumps all over way past anything normal gets greasy and won't clean after first use and pretty sure it's defective almost impossible to use.

    This is a great entry level gaming laptop. Performance is great, aesthetics are great. However if you are looking for a laptop with a high refresh rate, then find another laptop as this laptop defaults to only 60hz. (which was why I returned it)
