    Acre Nitro 5 is a very good starter laptop, good price for the power it provides. This laptop is also upgradable after purchase, allowing for another stick of RAM, aswell as a larger SDD and HDD. Had no problems running Minecraft or CSGO, it cannot handle bigger games like Warzone or Siege.

    I purchased this laptop around the beginning of the year for working from home and some minor gaming. I’ve been using it for about a month now and so far it has been great. The computer boots up fast and has made work so much easier and productive. I don’t think you can get a much better laptop for the money. The only complaint I have is the speakers are not very loud even when turned up to full volume but that is not a big deal to me. The laptop can be upgraded later if you need to. You can add more RAM and another SSD or HD if necessary. I will probably do this later but for now I’m very satisfied with my purchase.

    Best investment in a laptop I have ever made. I highly recommend this brand if you want fast processing and KILLER graphics. The keys are relatively quiet so if you are a fan of mechanical keys, you might not like the keyboard. All in all, I'm a huge fan of this laptop.

    Bought this for my daughter. It is great for playing Sims and also for working online for school classes. She loves how nice the Sims program appears, the details are great. She loves the red light up keyboard.

    Got this gaming laptop on Black Friday for great price. It is my son's first gaming laptop. So far he is happy with the functionality. He has no lag issues. Easy out of the box setup no fuss. Also he can use the laptop for school work. It's a good purchase.

    Awesome system! Dual cooling fans, one for cpu and gpu. Extra memory slots, and a nitro mode to kick the fans into high gear for quick cooling. Battery life still feels like it could be better. 2 1/2 to 3 hours for mid level graphics settings

    Powerful, user-friendly, helps me connect with my students easily. I was thinking of getting a Chromebook, but I'm glad I chose this instead. The process was super easy with Curbside pickup. Overall, it couldn't have been an easier process from looking to booting up.

    It was a great little gaming laptop while I had it. I recently upgraded to a desk top but it still ran most of the games I wanted to play. If you’re on a budget, I’d say get this.

    It’s okay but it heats up way to fast 5 mins into GTA in the pc was to hot and the fan is way louder then the volume it self. Luckily I was under the 15 return policy to get my full refund back. I’ll stick to my Xbox one x series.

    If your a gamer this is the laptop for you at a great price point. Of course if gaming isn't your thing, that only means that this laptop will have more than enough under its hood to perform any task you require of it. I upgraded the Ram to 32gb.

    I love mine. It's run everything I've asked it to and run it well. I would recommend a upgrade for the RAM. It comes with 8GB but you can add another stick doubling it to 16GB which will give it an easier time with games.

    Definitely worth it for those who don’t want to build a gaming computer or are on a budget. Plays all the games I want and has little difficulty doing so. Extra ram, SSD, and HHD slots makes it upgradable and allows sufficient storage

    Great performance from a very affordable laptop. Framerate is good, even at high resolution settings, and the RAM and memory are both easily upgradeable. Time will tell how this holds up, but I am very happy with this purchase so far.
