Title: Fantastic Performance and Great Value for the Price!
Review: I just bought the Acer Nitro 5, and it’s exceeded my expectations. For the price point, this laptop is a steal! The performance is fantastic—it handles all my games smoothly, and the graphics look amazing. The display is sharp, with vibrant colors and a high refresh rate that really enhances the gaming experience.I was a bit concerned about it overheating, but the cooling system works really well, even during extended gaming sessions. The keyboard is comfortable to use, and I love the customizable RGB lighting—it adds a nice personal touch.The storage is decent—it’s not huge, but for the price, I’m more than happy with it. Battery life is about what you’d expect for a gaming laptop, and overall, the value here is incredible. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly gaming laptop that delivers on performance, the Acer Nitro 5 is an awesome choice. Couldn’t be happier with it!

Title: Great Graphics!
Review: I was skeptical because of the price but decided to trust the reviews. Boy am I happy! Runs steam and my games very well. Never missing a beat! I run some heavy games so I highly recommend a cooling tray for your computer. It seemed to get pretty hot the first week or 2 but oddly isn't getting near as hot. Great computer!

Title: Perfect gaming laptop
Review: For a laptop priced at around 700 (when I bought it), this is an absolute deal. Almost all the games I've played on this laptop runs extremely smoothly even on high graphics and outperforms most other laptops that are priced around $1000.If you can ignore the loud fans and the short battery life (which isn't even a real problem if you just have it plugged in whenever you play), then this is a really good deal.

Title: Best Priced for the Quality!
Review: I've been searching and reading about all the different laptops because they don't make them like my old Toshiba laptop anymore. Mine finally died after replacing parts for over 12 years. This one was missing the RGB customization for the keyboard and I love having 2 mouse click buttons at the bottom of the mouse touchpad but it's impossible to find that now besides the Lenovo's Thinkpad. The camera quality could be better than expected and some of the keyboard keys are smaller when trying to type on here but I think this should suffice me for the next several years. I'd suggest buying a webcam for clear picture quality if purchasing this and using it a lot. I also think for the price, they could've made the "N" logo on the bottom of the screen light up as well with the keyboard.BTW**TO DISABLE THE TIMEOUT ON THE BACKLIT KEYBOARD:You have to go into Nitrosense. Personal Settings. Keyboard. Press the toggle button next to Disable 30-second backlit keyboard timeout.These instructions are different from the other laptops and took me days to figure out 😅

Title: !!!!!!Buyer Beware!!!!! Black Screen Of Death Purchased New
Review: Purchased this laptop new with Amazon Ada a birthday present for myself with money I had received. Upon Arrival laptop box was dented however the unit was unscathed. Plugged in installed Windows 11. installed all windows updates and Graphics Cards Updates and began gaming. At this point had only installed Opera Gx Old School RuneScape And later Far Cry New Dawn. 45 minutes into gaming playing old school the screen went black fans stills running keyboard and blue power indicator light on. No normal troubleshooting would fix this issue the only solution was hard reset by holding power button. I thought maybe an isolated incident so I tried again but the problem persisted. I reached out to Acer Customer Service Provided them with all necessary info they told me to factory reset the pc which I did however that did not fix the problem and 45 minutes into gaming black screen of death. I reached out to Acer support again they told me to try another game maybe it’s the game so I installed far cry new dawn a game that fall well below the specs in this system keep in mind this is a 13th gen I5 and 40 series gpu which should be capable of playing games in high settings minimum even triple A titles. Game experienced the same black screen except in 30 minutes this time. Acer Support called a third time as they told me to do trouble shooting and if problem persisted to call them back as they were in a hurry to get off the phone. I called back a third time and this time the agent told me I had to send in the unit for repair mind you I bought this laptop for the fall semester of college which was two weeks away. They told me the only solution for me is repair and that this could take up to 3 weeks or more and there was nothing more they could for me. I requested a manager call and was told I should bypass the repair and refund through Amazon essentially saying they want nothing to do with it. Lousy product Lousy customer service that does not stand behind their products and Amazon Refund actually makes me loses close to 90 dollars on the purchase of this laptop. As someone who an it and pc enthusiast do not buy from Acer look at the bad reviews and you will see a pattern of bad quality and bad customer service and don’t be fooled by the price. The color accuracy of the screen was horrible the ram was being utilized at 70 percent just running RuneScape and a web browser at the same time. Save your money and buy from a manufacturer that will I’ll resolve issues with their products and give a solution other than a 3 week lead time repair that doesent include the shipping process and 2 buisness days to get a shipping label. Will change review and update if reached out to by Acer or Amazon but not holding my breath thumbs all the way down shame on you Acer

Title: Excellent budget gaming laptop
Review: What can I say? For the price, you're getting a machine that can play modern AAA games at medium/low settings with ~60fps (tested Horizon Zero Dawn so far, steady 60 at low settings). Can easily run older games at high settings/high frames. Absolute beast for emulation on the go, only outclassed by the likes of the steam deck and rog ally in terms of portability.The specs are decent for an entry level budget laptop. The 4050 is an entry level gpu (especially for a laptop gpu), and so is the i5, but don't let that dissuade you, this laptop is plenty powerful for the price. The perk of having a 40 series gpu of course is dlss 3.0 and frame gen. The main issue of course is the storage and ram. Both easy upgrades. The motherboard supports two nvme drives (one being gen 4 and the other gen 3) and two ram slots. The first thing I did was upgrade my storage and ram (1tb gen 3 ssd and 32 gbs of ram, an extra ~150) which is necessary if you plan on playing modern games.Overall, a great little entry level machine that you will not be disappointed with. Definitely try to get on sale.

Review: Definitivamente vale la pena el precio en promo q la compre, estuve un buen rato buscando con mi presupuesto y solo encontraba 2050 nueva o 3050 de uso en marketplace pero por los 14k que me costó esta joyita definitivamente lo vale, claro es que necesita up de ram y ssd pero por el momento me hace perfectamente lo que necesito, aún no la pruebo full con videojuegos, pero ya estoy en espera 32de ram a 5200mhz que es la frecuencia que está manejando de fábrica e igual un SSD de 1tb de 7800/6800 respectivamente así que con eso es la mejor opción por el costo inicial que tuve dejando margen para darle un up y queda de rechupete, tampoco tuve ningún problema con drivers, actualizaciones al primer encendido no tardó más de 10 segundos en lanzar la configuración del w11.Si puedo más adelante subo actualizaciones de rendimiento un saludo y espero que les sirva de referencia mi experiencia. (Venía con funda) es un plus pq pensé en comprar una así que ya no es necesario.ACTUALIZACIÓN, SI O SI invierte en mínimo 16 de ram, pero yo teniendo los 32 en fortnite o warzone q es lo que he probado se consume los 18 así que ve por los 32, yo compre crucial 5200mhz que es la frecuencia que traía de fábrica, y por el ssd claro es que necesitas meterle un 1tb, ya que actualmente ya algún juego pesa de 60 a 80gb

Review: Me gusto el producto se ve mejor en persona que en la foto, buenos acabados, el cargador algo grande para mi gusto pero es mas un detallito, si eres de mexico esta es la versión con el teclado de EU ósea no tiene la letra Ñ. he corrido juegos como The Finals en el y lo corre genial sin problemas, pero los ventiladores inician con todo, lo bueno que tiene buena ventilación.apex sin problemas.fornite sobrado de poderLa pantalla a pesar de ser Full HD se ve de maravilla mejor que varias pantallas 4k que e visto, gran calidad de pantalla estaba muy aséptico en esa parte pero me dejo encantado.La bateria dura lo normal, unas 4 hrs sin exigirle mucho unas 2hrs con exigencia media y 1 hr o un poco menos con exigencia a Full. tiene muy buenos colores. de lo mejor de la laptopBuena calidad de sonido para ser una lapo pero en especial buena cantidad de volumen.los puertos de buena calidad.en general vale la pena una buena opción, mas aun si te la encuentras en oferta como fue mi caso, vale 100% la pena. le calculo una vida media de 3 a 4 años antes que comience a quedar algo atrasada en cuestiones de gamingpero hey vale la pena.

Review: For the specs and features, for a thousand dollars it is worth it.No other laptops will offer you a thunderbolt port at this price along with a rtx 4050 with a good cpu. Though the ram and ssd needs to be upgraded afterwardsNo annoying warranty sticker blocking any screw holes so that is a plus.

Review: Es una computadora eficiente en todos los aspectos, realmente no veo una limitante en cuanto a componentes debido a que hay slots para aumentar RAM y SSD. Los materiales se sienten de calidad, brillo máximo en pantalla un poco corto pero suficiente y de forma cotidiana el rendimiento de la batería en tareas básicas da un aproximado de 6 horas, mientras que con actividades en las que exiges a la gráfica (4050 realmente una joya por el costo de la PC misma) da un poco menos de tres horas.De manera general puedo recomendar ampliamente está PC, más sin embargo, para los más exigentes con un presupuesto limitado tendrán que considerar que 8 Gb de RAM se quedan cortos, por lo que si quieren un mejor rendimiento deberán desembolsar un poco más para comprar una por separado.
