Could not tell you anything about it because It was damaged

This laptop is 100% worth the money. I did a lot of research into many many different laptops, specifically in the $600-$900 range, and this was the one I went with. And I’m very glad I did. I bought it mainly for gaming and it works like a charm. Just some examples: 150+ FPS on Fortnite with high performance graphics, 250+ FPS on Rocket League with high performance graphics, 300+ FPS on Minecraft (default “fancy” graphics), 200+ FPS on Forza Horizon with high graphics. I’ve had absolutely no problems with it as far as gaming goes, and it works great for any daily work you may want to use it for. Note that I did add an extra 8gb of crucial ram into the open slot, which does improve performance. The only slight issue it has is that the fans can be a bit loud for more intensive games or programs. However, that’s the case for many budget gaming laptops. Some good headphones will do the trick if it gets to be a problem. But like I said, this laptop is exactly what I was looking for and if you’re looking for a good gaming laptop in the $800 price range, this is it.

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.

Good sub-$1000 gaming laptops are hard to find, but The Nitro 5 gives great value without breaking the bank. The 10th Gen Core i5 processor is 2 generations old at this point, but it has plenty of power to run pretty much all modern games at a decent setting. The Nvidia RTX 3050 graphics processor is an entry level to the new Ray-Tracing sexiness thats the next big thing in graphics. On newer games you probably wont be able to get past the 60fps barrier at 1080p with the settings cranked, but dialing the details down a bit will give you better rates. The display is rated for 1080p and 144hz, and while its not the brightest or most vibrant screen out there, its fine for this price point. There is also a (full size) HDMI out, but I have not had occasion to connect this to an external monitor yet. The cooling fans do a good job of keeping this machine within temp specs... but do note they can get pretty loud under load (honestly thats almost inevitable on a gaming laptop, its hard to keep things cool in such a small box. Anyone who games on a laptop should invest in a good headset IMHO.)

Extremly good laptop!

My son saved up for months to buy this computer. He was so excited when he finally had enough money! When it arrived, he plugged it in, eager to start gaming on his new laptop. Unfortunately, it never charged and it never turned out. So, we got a replacement. He was frustrated but willing to wait. The new one came quickly. However, the replacement had the exact same problem; it wouldnt turn on or charge. Now I have one very sad teenager on my hands and he is afraid to buy another laptop for fear of this happening again. Were not buying another Acer gaming laptop again.

I just opened the box and wanted to set it up but guess what! Doesnt turn on, doesnt charge, doesnt do anything. I tried numerous outlets thinking that was the problem but nope. Just a very expensive brick. Terrible quality control.

Great for the price! The only thing that needs improvement is the sound quality.. doesnt get loud at all and very low quality speakers overall.

Got this machine for my kids for general use and gaming. There were a few negative Amazon reviews which I wanted to add some perspective to - in case it helps someone.

Took it out of the box and it doesn’t work. Wont charge or turn on. Had to return it. Definitely the last time I ever buy an Acer.
