For the price and the specs you recieve on this laptop, it's a great computer. It's plenty capable of playing video games at high resolution, I've seen multiple game play videos of modern newer games being played.It's pretty light too and feels and looks nice. It looks like a gaming computer too. I love the red outline on the keyboard as well as the red led lighting the keyboard has. (NOTE: This specific model only supports Red as a color option for keyboard back light.)I've only owned this product for less then a day so far, but so far no issues and runs nice. I booted Sims 4 up real quick and was able to run at full resolution at 144hz.The battery life isn't that great, but if you're near a outlet then just leave it plugged into the outlet. (Battery drains fast on high performance mode)Overall rating: 5.0 out of 5.0 starsPros: Fast, Light, Looks and feels great, Red backlight keyboard, for gaming, budget gaming pc, vr ready,Cons: Battery life poor on high performance mode dies in couple hours under normal usage, audio isn't that loud, even with volume at max settings,Updated: after a bit of moderate to heavy use I do say that the heat is a major issue with this laptop. It gets extremely hot close to 200 which is way to hot. So I recommend buying a laptop cooling fan pad. It's plays cyberpunk2077 at the highest settings that I can adjust just fine though. If it can play that I have no doubts it'll play any other game.

As of today, 3/21/2021, I've had this computer now for 4 days.I bought this computer as an early birthday gift to myself and to replace an old laptop. While I know a few things about computers, I don't claim to know enough to build my own computer. I was a bit scared to get this; gaming laptops have a stereotype of looking "edgy" with sharp corners and LEDs targeted at "hardcore" gamers. I wanted, at the very least, a powerful, competent, portable gaming rig, and I seem to have gotten what I want out of this.PROS:1. This computer is no slouch! After a quick Windows setup, I was up and at 'em, downloading my Steam games in hardly any time at all. Within literal seconds, I was playing my favorite games at max settings with no problems.2. For something primarily made of plastic, it feels really nice and smooth to the touch.3. After a RAM upgrade (I upgraded the RAM from 8GB to 16GB before first boot), this computer can handle anything I throw at it.4. The keyboard is really nice. I'm still getting my bearings with it (I'm not used to a laptop with a numpad), but the keys feel nice and springy, they aren't loud while typing, and the illumination is nicer than I thought it'd be. You couldn't mistake it for anything other than a laptop aimed at gaming.5. Battery life is fine. Not terrible, not great, but serviceable.6. This bad boy stays nice and cool while gaming! It never got unbearably hot to the touch or loud with its fans. While playing the most intensive PC game I own (Planet Coaster, lol) at max settings, I didn't encounter any dropped frames, hiccups, stutters or lag.7. The speakers are nice. Good for gaming and watching YouTube videos.8. The screen is crisp, clear and bright.CONS:1. As stated above, this particular model comes with a single stick of 8GB of DDR4 RAM. I'd say don't spring for anything less than 16GB if you're going to be playing graphic heavy games (or games in general, really), but this wasn't an issue that another stick (or two if you're going higher; I believe this laptop supports 32GB at max?) of RAM couldn't fix.2. Even though the plastic chassis is nice and smooth, it's also a shiny fingerprint magnet, so have a microfiber cloth handy for wipe downs (with the unit turned off, of course).3. The offset trackpad is a bit of a hinderance for me right now, four days of usage in, but I'm sure I'll get used to it over time.4. There is no webcam cover.5. Again, something I'll probably get used to with time: because there is a full numpad to the right of the keyboard, the keyboard is also offset and I tend to misinput and mistype more often. I'll think that I pressed a key when I really hadn't.6. SO. MUCH. BLOATWARE. Most of it can be uninstalled though, so that's a good thing.7. It has a 256GB NVMe SSD. If you play a lot of games or really big games, you're going to fill that up fast. Luckily, you an upgrade this with another NVMe SSD or a SATA drive (the laptop comes with a SATA cable for easy installation).FINAL THOUGHTS:All in all, I'm quite pleased with my purchase of the Acer Nitro 5. I hope I can still say that 1, 2, even 5 years down the line.

I have been using this for about a year, and I adore this gaming laptop. It doesn't have a great battery life, but then battery life is really only important to me if my laptop has a mobile life (which this one doesn't--I only game in my house).I mostly play Guild Wars 2, but have also played Valheim on it, both of which have not insignificant demands on the processor, and it runs great. I'm not a graphic junkie but in my eyes the graphics are very nice, and the only lag I can see is only because of our trash wifi.The keyboard holds up pretty well, and the touchpad is nice and sensitive. The fan can get a tad noisy, but it doesn't bother me and it keeps the laptop relatively cool. I also regularly hook it up to a televison via HDMI cord, and there is barely any lag or other bliffs while it's hooked up. On that topic, that is another thing I really like about this machine--it has A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF PORTS.The only complaint I would have (and it could actually have to do with how I have the settings) is with the speakers. The laptop could project more, compared to other gaming laptops I have witnessed (like MSI or even my asus zenbook ux333). However, I only really notice this when using Discord. So, just FYI.Overall, I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants an affordable and well-performing gaming computer.
