Acer Nitro 5 AN515-57-79TD Gaming Laptop | Intel Core i7-11800H | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU | 15.6 FHD 144Hz IPS Display | 8GB DDR4 | 512GB NVMe SSD | Killer Wi-Fi 6 | Backlit Keyboard

I was really excited to try this laptop

A little low on memory, so I slapped an extra 500 GB SSD in it plus another stick of RAM. Performance has held up to my expectations. I always keep it plugged in, but I know gaming draws a boatload of power and would quickly kill the battery, so not recommended for battery-operated gaming.

Overall the machine seems good, but the product and Q&A did not specify that the keyboard is ONLY red. I inferred from the images that red is a popular color for gaming alarms, not that any manufacturer would make a hard-to-see keyboard that is ONLY red with no backlit co0mor changes possible. Now, I hope that there is some way to replace the keyboard with one that does not have the keys colored black and red, but Acers website refers to tech help for and this product through Amazon does not seem to come with a basic warranty for assistance. Hmmmm. . .

I bought this for my son for Christmas and when he plugged it in it would not charge. I made sure that it was plugged in all the way and clicked. We tried different outlets. We even took it to other peoples houses and they tried, but it would NOT charge. We were disappointed.

Overall havent had any major issues, the only issues are drivers not being compatible w win11.. but thats normal.

I bought this to bring to college, and it works amazingly. The battery life isnt the best, but I just leave it charging while using it. It has good graphics and works very well. Would recommend.

This laptop is an excellent PC for the cost. The performance is better than most desktop/laptops at similar price. There is no delay in loading videos or games and the visual quality is better than expected. I play Runescape 3, Lost Ark, Rust, Destiny 2, Apex Legends, etc in ultra with no problems at all. My only complaint is the storage and ram. I will be upgrading those soon. I would recommend this laptop to anyone looking for a budget gaming laptop.

There is a lot to like about this gaming laptop.

We are using this Acer Nitro 5 laptop for streaming church services. We run the external camera into OBS, where we transcode 1080p to 720p, and live stream to YouTube or Facebook, while simultaneously feeding the OBS virtual camera to Zoom, and recording the service locally in Zoom on the laptop. There is no noticeable fan noise. The laptop doesnt even break a sweat!

The computer is good and windows 11 works well with most applications. The keyboard lights up and the brightness is adjustable, which is very good! However, the battery life is very bad, especially for a gaming computer. I have to recharge the battery every 3.5 hours, thats bad. I suppose Ill be buying a new battery for it soon.
