Such a great buy, I regret absolutely nothing! I love being able to change the keyboard lights. I am so in love with this purchase!

My wife was wanting a fast but stable laptop that could play sims with no hassle. The nitro Acer has been great so far. Only complaint would be battery life is horrible if not plugged in. But over all my wife is very happy with the speed and the nice keyboard colors.

I’ve reviewed other Acer Nitro 5 laptops and this is by far the best revision. Comes with all the bells you could ask for in a budget entry level machine. A powerful i5-12500H that competes with some CPUs that are more expensive. Its has an RTX 3050 TI that is faster than the standard 3050. It’s not by much but it is what it is. The case design is pretty clean and does away with those horrible red keys. Has 16GB of RAM standard which used to be only 8GB. Plenty of expansion space and comes with a pretty fast NVME drive which is only 512GB. It’ll hold 10 games easily so don’t install all of the COD series as some of them such as Warzone is over 150GB.
Webcam is pretty decent while the speakers are awful. Battery life is still the same as its still using the same size battery as the previous (55wh). Expect around 3 hours and even less if you are gaming. There is no mux switch which would help.
Display is 144Hz and the brightness is low. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 2-300 nits.
Other improvements are the increased fan speeds for the fans reaching over 7000RPM’s when on Max..
This helps to lower temps that were high in the past in conjunction with the new openings on the top to allow air intake.
With that said, it’s still a good machine for under a grand.
My full review can be found on YouTube. Just look for Meanpooh.

This computer was a purchase I definitely don’t regret. The performance is excellent, I have had no major problems to date. Gaming as well as daily tasks go smoothly on this.
The only thing I will say is that it can get a bit loud, but I don’t mind it at all.
This is a great buy at a great price, highly recommend!

This laptop is GREAT! Definitely more bang for the buck for keeping under 1k. Haven’t had any issues out of it. The processor is very fast and the RTX 3050 has been wonderful upgrade from what I was using. You wouldn’t think it’s only got 4gb of video memory. I highly recommend this laptop to people taking steps into pc gaming. Slacking on battery life but that’s legit the least of my worries. And under heavy gaming sessions it does tend to get hot. But still wouldn’t trade out for anything else under 1k

I was skeptical buying this laptop because it uses an i5 cpu. To my surprise this laptop is fast, and the i5 is 12th gen. It comes with 10 cores, that’s pretty powerful on its own. Not to mention this i5 runs faster then some of the i7 series. The graphics card isn’t the most powerful, but it does a great job running games. I must throw out a warning, don’t expect to run ultra high settings, this laptop runs everything well with medium settings. If you are looking to get a solid gaming laptop, without blowing a hole in your wallet, this laptop is for you.

I’ve used a few Acer laptops in the past, was never really impressed with them. But this? I was absolutely blown away by this laptop. Has a decent graphics card for light gaming, a beast of a processor, 16gb of ddr4 ram, at 3200mhz, and a 512gb SSD, which can be either upgraded, or you can add an extra SATA SSD if needed. Not sure why it says this runs on android, it has Windows 11 lol. Also, it doesnt get fingerprints on it, which was nice to see. It is a plastic build, but very durable. The cooling system in this is better than most gaming laptops out there, the thermals are incredible. And the Nitro Sense software lets you adjust the RGB on the keyboard, as well as the cooling.
As for battery life, I mean its a gaming laptop. You can get 2-4 hours when using just the battery.
The Display is decent, definitely not the best, but its not bad at all.
If you have a budget under 1,000, this is the one to go with

As stated in the title, this laptop can handle nearly anything you throw at it graphically. Sims 4 with 1000 mods? Sure! Fallout 4 with 90 heavy duty mods? Sure! Runs smooth as butter and fast as lightning, starts up in seconds. But be warned it get’s HOT. That and it absolutely starts to lag off the charger, and lasts upwards of an hour off of it.
