    Saggy Keys

    Keys were saggy in the middle. I love Nitros but I HATE saggy keys. Otherwise this would have been my second Nitro. The 15” Nitros don’t have this problem. I opted for the HP Pavilion (gamer style) with the 16” screen instead, which incidentally came with a better GPU (at a little higher price). Otherwise the weight, size, screen, key lights and other specs on the Nitro were great.

    A fantastic machine. Super speed and excellent graphics. Doesn't get overly hot. Wasn't a fan of the backlit keyboard, at first, but I've gotten used to it and it's no big deal. For a 17" it's incredible light weight. I added a 500gb ssd which took hardly anytime to install. It is tricky getting the case open and make sure you use a plastic tool so as to not damage the case. I definitely recommend this Acer Nitro 5! A great price for an excellent computer.

    Sound speakers issues

    Had to go back to Best Buy to have the speaker sound driver installed. No sound from speakers originally. Seems to be corrected, but if I don't sign in immediately after turning computer on, the speakers sound doesn't work. As long as I sign in when I turn the laptop on, the speakers work fine. If that changes, I will be taking it back to Best Buy for further evaluation. I'm sure this is just a freak incident and not a usual occurrence. My daughter has a similar model and had no issues.

    Guess I wasn't really paying attention when I made the online purchase that it was a "gaming laptop." Also didn't notice it doesn't have a CD/DVD drive. No big deal, I've made it work for my needs and I have a external drive. I got this to replace the one I have that doesn't work right now, my fault, and really like it. Love the speed, compared to the aforementioned one. In time, when I'm able to get one I really want, I'll more than likely give this one to someone who can use it.
