Acer Nitro 17 Gaming Laptop | Ryzen 7 7735HS | RTX 4050 | 17.3 FHD 165Hz IPS Display | 16GB DDR5 | 1TB Gen 4 SSD | Wi-Fi 6E | AN17-41-R8N5 Nitro Gaming Mouse III: 6D Optical Gaming Mouse

Such a nice little rig. We dont really need the high refresh rate panel, but the MODERN Ryzen 7 and brand-new RTX 4050 are greatly appreciated. With laptops we prefer to not replace them often since they only do menial work, and this is replacing an old Lenovo with a 4th gen i7. It has been hard finding a reasonably priced 17 inch laptop with worthwhile specs and so far this is handling the job great. I have heard negative things about the Nitro line, but so far I have nothing negative to report. Havent tested it for gaming since it wont be used for that, but I may give it a try eventually in Cyberpunk to see how well the 4050 handle the frame-generation tech.

Very good and capable computer, but the high temps make me wonder how this piece of kit will be after 3-4 years in a power users hands. Guess we shall see.

It ran games like New World at max settings just fine. Problem is three months in and the GPU started having a critical hardware failure rendering it useless and causing the system to default to the processors Radeon GPU. Specific failure was listed as error 43 in the Windows device manager. Even after fully removing and reinstalling drivers and the operating system the failure still exists which is a sure sign of a physical issue. Thankfully I was within 90 days off purchase and Amazon allowed a return saving me from a $1600 loss. Ive had an Acer Predator helios 300 that had worked for over 5 years no issue so Im not sure if this is a one off occurrence, but buyer beware.

Excellent for school

First of all, this laptop is built for power, not for portability. To that end, this is definitely on the heavier side, partially because of the size of the screen and the components. This laptop prioritizes cooling of the components over streamlining. The screen does not flip over, and the power port is on the back.

Very fast boot times. Fast wifi, great graphics and screen. Only a small amount of bloatware. Windows 11 compatible.

So I spent 1500 on this. 2 days into owning it. I havent gotten 2 use it yet due to a death in the family so when I set up windows. I installed cod just to pull it up to see the picture quality, and I noticed a red line down the screen and a Grey line going across the bottom. Havent touched it since dealing with the death. So today I woke it from a sleep and typed in pin and when it went into windows. The screen started flashing Grey like a no signal..

This laptop is an absolute Beast, it has amazing specifications, so there’s no point in going over that here. Anyone looking at these reviews is very serious and already knows what they are looking for. I can only go into what I feel is most important to me and I’m not a big gamer. I know, (not a gamer? What are you doing with this machine?) and I have a logical answer which is I am an amateur photographer and videographer with a high end digital camera for photos and videos plus a 4K video drone quadcopter (still learning, there’s a lot to learn here). This laptop is my photo and video dream machine, it can handle anything I need to do effortlessly and it has the speed and performance necessary to render effectively. Always wanted a machine for my photography needs and this one makes it. It offers excellent performance and has great battery life, making it ideal for gaming, photography and everyday use. It also has an impressive array of ports, allowing you to easily connect a variety of external devices and access your files and media quickly. It’s a little heavy, but that is to be expected with a computer of this caliber. The keyboard feel is better than any laptop I have had before and the backlit keys are very much appreciated. I have had computers with backlit keyboards, but this one really works well, I can see the keys from any angle easily.

I tend to stay with laptops that you can take appart easily. This way you can do maintenance on it, or do upgrades. This laptop is just what I wanted a good upgrade from my Predior Helios 300 bought 4 years ago. I definately enjoy the Acer brand always a good buy.

I will make this plain and simple. For those of you who are looking for something where you can just get right into gaming with high/ultra settings with great FPS without breaking the bank then this is the laptop for you. Very fast boot times, very little bloatware and easy to set up. This thing will run all of your games either on high or ultra settings by default if that is what you prefer. I recommend buying a cooling pad preferably the one from kootec. I have no issue with temps at all. The cooling pad keeps things cool. But overall the performance this thing delivers for its price is awesome.
