It runs pretty good

I needed a new laptop with the basics but my 14-year-old son wanted something to play games on. this had great reviews as a great value for the money for gaming. It was very easy to set up and Has good screen quality. He was gaming within an hour of turning it on. So far so good!

Good sub-$1000 gaming laptops are hard to find, but The Nitro 5 gives great value without breaking the bank. The 10th Gen Core i5 processor is 2 generations old at this point, but it has plenty of power to run pretty much all modern games at a decent setting. The Nvidia RTX 3050 graphics processor is an entry level to the new Ray-Tracing sexiness thats the next big thing in graphics. On newer games you probably wont be able to get past the 60fps barrier at 1080p with the settings cranked, but dialing the details down a bit will give you better rates. The display is rated for 1080p and 144hz, and while its not the brightest or most vibrant screen out there, its fine for this price point. There is also a (full size) HDMI out, but I have not had occasion to connect this to an external monitor yet. The cooling fans do a good job of keeping this machine within temp specs... but do note they can get pretty loud under load (honestly thats almost inevitable on a gaming laptop, its hard to keep things cool in such a small box. Anyone who games on a laptop should invest in a good headset IMHO.)

Im an architecture student and I bought this laptop as I needed an affordable but powerful laptop to run some of the architectural software (Revit, Inventor, etc) while on the go. The dedicated 3050 comes in handy when rendering finished models and the CPU is beefy enough to handle all the processing requirements these programs take.

Broken right out of the box. Did not charge and did not turn on.

This is, by far, the best gaming laptop if you are on a budget.

I order laptop from my daughters account, after plugin no lights no charging, I run small computer repair business, I know little bit about computers, I used my testing power supply and other option to reset machine from keyboard but nothing works, no replacement options from Amazon other than return so I did return, I am not able to reorder the product due to 01 per customer.

Will not turn on, dude from acer said I need to send it in for repairs... I told him to pound sand and Im not repairing a new product Im getting my money back and going with a different company

My grandson loves the laptop for his Xmas gift. Hes non stop on it and playing games.

After paying a chunk of money for this laptop, yould think that it would be well protected for shipping with something more than one sheet of paper. Look at the size of that shipping box! Sure hope it works...
