Write a reviewSolid Laptop - My favorite laptop to date! this thing is a power house! I upgraded the ram from 8gb to 16gb and thats all that was needed.
Acer Nitro review - Love my laptop...I use it every day,,,it does everything I need
Great laptop! My Dad who is 87 needed a laptop and this has been great. He uses it to pay bills and keep in touch with family and friends.
Great Machine! - This has been a great laptop for both work and gaming. I like to game in the evenings when I'm on the road traveling for work and this laptop has served me well for work- handling Adobe Suite, Office, Python and R, with no problems. It also runs everything in my Steam library without issue. It was well worth the $.
The Acer Nitro 5 is good. - The Acer Nitro 5 that I bought on 11/12/22 and got it exactly 2 days later on the night of 11/14/22 has served very me well coming up on 3 years of owning it and I love it. This is my first gaming pc because before on I was a console player. I recommend this to any trying start their pc modding gaming adventure. I will admit it has gone up in price since I purchased it but trust me it's good for a starter pc for gaming. 100% recommend you won't regret and a shout out to Best Buy for the great deal as I was looking everywhere for a good deal for this gaming pc.
BAD LAPTOP - I BOUGHT IT AND RETURNED IT TERRIBLE TO EVEN LET SOMEONE BUY THAT
Great budget gaming laptop - It’s a great gaming laptop that is also very cheap and lasts a cart long time. And performs very well on any game you play.
Nıtro - I have been using that computer since 2 years ı had never problem with this
Buy this thing now!! - Love this computer. Easy to upgrade. Great value for your money.
Acer nitro acer 5 - The computer is great for gaming but the more you use it he more you need to charge it or keep it plugged in which isn’t great. The battery should last longer as a gaming computer.
Laptop - Very good option, it even rolls very well for most games with game requirements, to create content, even for work from home.
Review - When I first unboxed the Nitro 5, I was impressed by its bold design. It has that classic gamer look with a black chassis and customizable red accents that give it an aggressive vibe. Although the laptop is primarily plastic, it feels durable enough for everyday use—even when I’m on the go. I do wish it were a bit lighter, though; at around 5.5 lbs, it’s not the most portable option if you’re planning to travel frequently.
Was good until it wasn’t - Worked well for a year, loved it. Then one day it just gave me a black screen of death. Replaced the graphics card, reseated the RAM. Nothing worked. Was out of warranty but I called an independent repair shop and they couldn’t figure it out either. For potential buyers, just get a desktop computer.
Good laptop - It’s a pretty good laptop I have had it since summer 2022.
Charger - The Pc is great, it runs amazing. Nobody tells you when its time to get a charger that you cant find one anywhere thats fits.
Great buy - Computer runs well, does what I need it to do. No problem running games.
Great moderate level Gaming Laptop - Very satisfied with this. Its clean running and powerful enough for my purposes. The fan is a little loud but nothing bad at all or unexpected to keep a real GPU cool. I did find I had to do some setting modifications in Windows to make sure the real GPU was used by default, but that isn't specific to this model. Overall, I can't argue with the value. Battery is good, screen is good, power is good.
Excellent laptop - I've had it for a while now and its been agreat laptop overall
Low FPS - For call of duty it’s not good as other gaming laptops but work
