I was really excited to try this laptop

We are using this Acer Nitro 5 laptop for streaming church services. We run the external camera into OBS, where we transcode 1080p to 720p, and live stream to YouTube or Facebook, while simultaneously feeding the OBS virtual camera to Zoom, and recording the service locally in Zoom on the laptop. There is no noticeable fan noise. The laptop doesnt even break a sweat!

Awesome powerhouse!!!

A little low on memory, so I slapped an extra 500 GB SSD in it plus another stick of RAM. Performance has held up to my expectations. I always keep it plugged in, but I know gaming draws a boatload of power and would quickly kill the battery, so not recommended for battery-operated gaming.

In terms of gaming, this laptop is on the low-end. You’ll want an RTX 3060, or preferably a 3070 for excellent visual quality especially if you plan to use your laptop hooked up to a nice monitor or TV. Personally, I use an ultra-high-end desktop with an RTX 3090 founder’s edition for high-end 4K gaming. Meanwhile this laptop is my go-to for playing my favorite MMOs, even when I’m traveling for work. The high refresh rate is exactly what I need for gaming.

Went to plug it in & set it up on arrival & immediately it would not turn on. Battery light wouldn’t come on when it was plugged in so I called Acer tech support & now have to send the laptop in to get repaired. Took an hour to take out of the box, figure out it was busted, & repackage everything. Now I have to wait for a shipping label, drop it off and wait 7-10 business days for a new laptop to be fixed. Not great quality control.

Laptop failed to turn on, charging light did not illuminate, inconvenient returns process.

Computer was received on time and functions very well.

I bought one...loved it

This machine is quite fast for a gaming laptop with a great refresh rate that makes games and action films look spectacular. Overall good price for a great gaming laptop.
