Acer Nitro 5 AN515-46-R0EQ Gaming Laptop | AMD Ryzen 7 6800H Octa-Core CPU | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Laptop GPU | 15.6 QHD FreeSync 165Hz IPS | 32GB DDR5 | 1TB Gen 4 SSD | Wi-Fi 6E | RGB Backlit

I absolutely loved this laptop. Specs were exactly what I needed, the keyboard is perfect. However - both times the device was DOA and would not charge.

My unit arrived DOA. Such a bummer as this laptop gets good reviews when they work.

Terrible quality plastic. After I installed an additional ssd, when I tightened the bolts on the bottom panel - the bolt sockets began to crumble when I began to tighten the bolts. There is also no stopper for the bolts - I did not feel resistance, the bolt turned easily - but as a result: a tubercle next to the button Esc. After three months of use, noise appeared - a crackling fan. A month later, after noise appeared in the fan, the GPU stopped loading, low FPS even in games that were simple for this laptop, like Csgo or DotA. All programs and settings are set to high performance, the default GPU is used in all games. The percentage of GPU load in Acer Nitro Sense also disappeared, in the task manager it can be seen that the video card is not loaded more than 30%. I am not satisfied with the laptop, I have no desire to buy more Acer products.

After unpacking, the sealing strip of the product packaging has been torn. After connecting to the power supply, the power light does not turn on. After repeated tests, it cannot be turned on. The seller sent the returned bad computer directly to me.

I’d have to say that for my first gaming laptop, this is exactly what I expected! It’s super responsive and allows me to use and play my Oculus Quest 2 for rift games on steam etc. Definitely worth getting this laptop if you’re looking for something reliable with the potential of upgrading the storage which I just did at 2TB and ram as well.

The keys are similar to the macbook air keys but they feel nice to press. If your looking to upgrade ram to 32gb, Id reccommend gettting a 32 gb ram card thats from crucial which is 3200mhz. The built in ram which is 16gb is actually 2 8 gb ram cards so you can take both of them out and put the 32 gig ram card in exchange for taking both of the 8 gigs out. Runs really nice on games like tf2 that youd have to get used to it coming from a mac user who used a mac for years haha. Fans are a lil louder than the mac but its fine. Speakers are on the bottom of the sides of the computer near but front of the keyboard but they arent great. Overall a great gaming laptop even if you dont game a lot like me.

I personally did a RAM upgrade, threw in an additional nvme I had lying around, and installed Manjaro Linux.
