Acer Nitro 5 AN515-55-53E5 Gaming Laptop | Intel Core i5-10300H | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 GPU | 15.6 FHD 144Hz IPS Display | 8GB DDR4 | 256GB NVMe SSD | Intel Wi-Fi 6 | Backlit Keyboard

The lap top is working as expected, with 800 USD you were able to get a 3050 GPU, which is good for most light duty game like CS go, DOTA2, etc. Which is good enough for me. Unlike those ultra book, this one has slot RAM and can be upgrade to like 32GB and another stat HDD slot, but they dont include cable and socket. I believe youd have to do some research how to solid one. It looks like a good deal for light gamer.

It’s honestly not as bad as people say, it handled downloading games in a 90 degree environment without problems as well as a decent performance right out of the box (clocked The Forest at 150fps) fan is a bit noticeable but can be quiet when doing low performance tasks. Weight feels good and the screen is amazing for movies/games

In the almost touching four figures range, there are a lot of surprisingly good gaming laptops coming onto the market from different manufacturers. Assuming each one was available, youd be spoiled for choice this summer. Decent processors, nice midrange RTX GPUs, and at least a certain degree of expandability should be expected.

Came with a corrupted BIOS, which I fixed. BIOS was severely outdated, fixed. Came with 40 bloatware programs, also fixed. Had to configure 200 settings just to dual boot Ubuntu, another fix. Then I booted Windows 11 and Acers software BIOS corrupted again, which I fixed, again. By uninstalling Acers bloatware version of Windows and installing my copy of Windows 11. Worked for 2 weeks before corrupting Ubuntu to the point where I had to reinstall everything. Ive been using Linux for 12 years, never had this much of an issue.

This was the first gaming computer I ever bought, so I had no idea that the plugs were different from regular computers. When I first plugged it in and tried to turn it on, nothing happened. I thought I got a bum computer! I called the number on the package and was told that gaming computers have different plugs than standard computers, and that I had to push the plug into the back of the computer all the way until I heard a click. I thought I had, but when I pushed on it again I heard the click and it started right up.

Being able to upgrade a laptop, and was easy to do, with a great screen, fast processor, good graphics, and efficient cooling, for a good price was important to me and this one checked all the boxes. Ive been using this laptop for about 3 weeks now and I love it. The only issue I have is using a KVM switch to switch between my work computer and this one using a single monitor, this laptop would not switch back. So, I would have to unplug the HDMI cable and plug it back in to get it to switch. Not sure why this is happening. Tried several different cables but still same problem. It could be the switch Im using but it does work with an older laptop I have. Other than that its a great laptop.

Bought this computer and was sent one that was dead on arrival. Filed a complaint and requested a new one, same thing dead on arrival. Terrible quality control, would love to write an actual review for the product but its been over a month and I still have yet to get sent a laptop that turns on.

I use this at work so I dont use it often. Today out of no where it shut off and wont turn back on.

My daughter order this gaming laptop on Thanks giving, I was happy but my happiness goes in drain, after plugin no lights laptop never work DOA (dead on arrival). I have told I cant reorder it because deal is 01 per customer nor I will get replacement, no other options except return.

This is probably one of the best purchase I’ve been in years! I get to play sims soooooo smoothly.
