   I got this for my son’s 16th birthday. He’s into gaming, both playing and designing. I didn’t have thousands to spend on a gaming laptop, but I was able to afford this one. The best part is, it’s number one in every metric online when compared to other lower priced gaming laptops. It’s said to be the best one you can get off you’re on a budget. And they weren’t wrong. It has everything he needs/wanted. The graphics are perfect for all his games, and it doesn’t lag/glitch/load slow for anything he’s played so far. So everything he’s done has been smooth and crisp. It has an SSD drive so load times are milliseconds, the only thing I’d that there’s only 8 gbs of ram, but there is a slot and we plan on doubling it, so no actual problem. It has windows 11, which I’m sure is good for something, and it has met and exceeded everything he’s needed or wanted from it. This is a great buy, at a reasonable price, especially if you want a real gaming laptop. If you’re looking at another one, I’m telling you, you’ll regret not getting this one. Truly the best one in it’s price range.

   I regret every second I’ve spent with this laptop. I was really excited to get the Acer Nitro 5, thinking it would give me a decent performance for gaming and daily use. Instead, I got a sluggish nightmare.

   What really sealed the deal for my hatred of this laptop is the battery. It’s completely dead after a couple of months. I didn’t even get a full year before it started draining in an hour or less. A laptop that doesn’t hold a charge is practically useless.

   To top it off, the support team is a joke. I tried contacting them and they were completely useless. I got generic responses and no real solutions. It’s clear that Acer doesn’t care about its customers at all.

   Do yourself a favor and stay far away from this product. It’s nothing but problems, and you’ll end up regretting spending a dime on it. Don’t waste your time or money on the Acer Nitro 5.

   excelente laptop, yo lo compre por 23k, y por ese precio es la mejor de su categoría sin duda, aunque es pesada, cumple con su función que es de tener fuerza bruta y llevarlo a todas partes, el único detalle es el sonido de las bocinas, que la verdad son decentes, pero no son muy buenas, y la otra queja es que las marcas de las manos se quedan en la carcasa de la laptop con bastante facilidad.

   I have had this laptop since Christmas of 2023. I like it very much and now use it more over than my other computers. I also take it when I travel. I game on Second Life and have no issues with the gaming site when it comes down to performance or login. That huge for me. So far it have served me well.

   at $950 I had to take the chance on this laptop despite some of the reviews being bad. If you’re considering this laptop my guess is you’re like me in that you dont want to build a pc yourself for whatever reason. I would say this was a fair purchase but if you can wait, i’d say save up a bit more and get a pc built for yourself at microcenter or something. I have played many games and all of them can be played on at least medium settings with no lag. That would include cyberpunk 2077 to give you an idea. I really only have one problem with the laptop and it makes it a bad long term investment. From fully charged, i can only game for maybe 50 minutes. Cant even reach an hour. If that sounds unpleasant to you then pass on this. Otherwise it serves its purpose for me in playing all the games I couldn’t on my previous laptop.

   Months later and I am still pleased with the laptop. It acts a bit different from when I got it. Before I would only play games without it being plugged in and so I could only play for an hour before I turned it off to charge. In that state I could play most high end games on medium settings with no lag. That is no longer the case. Now I lag on the lowest settings on these games and even games I feel should not lag at all. But this is only while unplugged. While it is charging I can play any game I want on high settings and on some older games the highest settings. I play cyberpunk 2077 on high but that’s cause I don’t care to push the limits. This laptop can run anything care free while plugged but I just here to play in that state. I looked online and apparently that’s normal for gaming laptops, they utilize all their strength when plugged and it’s no problem playing in that state. But I’d hate for the battery to die sooner by doing that so I play a game called nioh while unplugged since it can handle it. And I play assassin’s Creed origins on the highest settings while plugged and charging up. I try not to play for long past the point it’s fully charged. So this is my experience, I say it was money well spent.

   For the price this laptop is a great game pc. You can get a larger screen, faster chipsets and a bigger HD but for under $700 this thing rocks! I can’t load all my games at once on its 500GB drive but I don’t have to. Especially in the age of Steam. For the price and with beautiful graphics and only occasional restarts (Crysis) I am very happy.

   Me gusto que la entrega fue en el tiempo prometido y la calidad del producto, se utilizó para regalo de graduación de preparatoria y para ser utilizado en la carrera de Arquitectura.

   Lo compre en el blackfriday, y me termino llegando apenas este domingo que paso, fueron las 3 semanas más cardíacas porque no me daban un estatus exacto de mi pedido pero fuera de eso, llego en buenas condiciones todo en perfecto estado, la laptop es más de lo que esperaba, ya actualizaré mi comentario cuando tenga un mes de uso.

   Bueno, esta es mi reseña despues de haber cumplido un año con ella , la verdad es que es muy buen equipo calidad precio, obviamente los primeros meses la bateria duraba bastante e inclusive corria juegos sin dar bajo de fps cuando se requeria demasiado procesamiento. Pero sinceramente corre juegos que yo nunca espere que correria y los correbastante bien, si se calienta un poco pero nada que los ventiladores que tiene no puedan arreglar.

   Le hice unas pequeñas modificaciones como cambiarle la RAM y agregar otro disco SSD , la verdad es que en el disco segundario intento tener todos mis juegos y a pesar que algunos requieren casi o si estar en el disco principal, la comunicación de datos mediante el cablo que tiene es bastante buena (obviamente no le pidas demasiado, cumple su función y un poco más).

   Actualmente ya la batería me da hora y media de carga, jugando o un poquito menos , trabajando o para entretenimiendo sin hacer uso de la tarjeta de video me dura entre 2 a 2 hrs y media sin problema alguno.

   No le he dado mantenimiento y actualmente uno de sus ventiladores y hace un sonido bastante raro, pero considerando que si la he usado con usos forzados y sin mantenimiento considero que es normal, para que siempre esten al pendiente con sus equipos y realicen sus mantenimientos cada 6 meses.

   En su momento me consto 16.6K, pero por lo que veo sigue siendo la mejor opción para juegos y productividad.

   Considero que lo unico que cambiaria de fabrica seria el disco, por mas almacenamiento, pero de ahi en fuera, en estetica tiene casi de todo, el hecho de que puedas controlar mediante el NitroSenses las revoluciones de los ventiladores es una pasada. Consideren que tiene el teclado EU, osea no tiene ñ, pero con el tiempo te acostumbras, también puedes colocar ambas configuraciones de teclado y sin problema alguno.

    Purchased for my son. After two months, the battery swelled and required replacement. This was an easy and relatively inexpensive repair, but shouldn’t have been necessary. Replacement battery is still working very well. The machine I purchased came with only 8gb of RAM. That’s simply not enough. The machine is only expandable to 32gb…. so we pulled the installed 8gb chip and then installed two 16gb chips to max the machine out. That upgrade helped out quite a bit. The Video card only has 4gb of VRAM which really isn’t enough for some of the newer games available, but it is reasonable enough for decent game play. You’ll probably have to tone down the video settings for some games though to avoid lag. The machine also only came with a half-terabyte SSD drive. That also isn’t enough. Machine’s storage is expandable though. Our plan is to utilize the 2nd PCIe Gen 4 slot by installing at least a 2TB drive. In summary… Good economic starter gaming computer. If my son gets into more intense games, we will probably look at something a lot more powerful for the next option.

    Compré esta laptop en 28k (mxn). Las especificaciones son correctas y en general está bien, pero tiene algunos puntos en contra a considerar.

    Lo bueno:

    – Las prestaciones. No creo encontrar otro combo i7 (12th), rtx 4060, 16gb ram (4800mhz) y 1tb SSD por este precio. La verdad por estos componentes se me hizo algo bastante bueno.

    – La RAM tiene 4 slots, actualmente dos de ellos ocupados por sticks de 8gb de ram ddr5. Al tener todavía dos slots libres se hace fácil el upgrade de RAM.

    Lo neutral:

    – La pantalla es aceptable. No esperes brillo muy alto o ángulos de visión perfectos, pero cumplen.

    Lo malo:

    – El sistema de enfriamiento no está diseñado para superficies planas, ya que buena parte de las rejillas de de ventilación se encuentran en la parte de abajo. Tenía mi laptop directamente sobre la colcha de mi cama y las temperaturas en tareas cotidianas superaban los 80 grados!!! Es una completa locura. Después de comprar un cooler las temperaturas bajaron a 40 grados en promedio, una diferencia brutal. Lo importante del cooler no son los ventiladores extras, si no el hecho de no tenerlo en una superficie plana donde las rejillas inferiores se queden completamente tapadas.

    – Las bocinas son terribles. El audio es MUY BAJO.

    – La batería no me dura ni 2 horas con tareas cotidianas, desde luego en gaming siempre se jugaría con el cable conectado.

    – Es considerablemente pesada. No es muy cómoda para llevarla en una mochila o tenerla apoyada en tus piernas (no imposible pero incómodo).

    – Los ventiladores a full son bastante ruidosos.
