Acer Nitro 5 Gaming Laptop, 9th Gen Intel Core i7-9750H, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060, 15.6" Full HD IPS 144Hz Display, 16GB DDR4, 256GB NVMe SSD, Wi-Fi 6, Waves MaxxAudio, Backlit Keyboard, AN515-54-728C

I just recently purchased the Acer Nitro 5 Core-i7 with 15.6 display screen as well as the mouse. The computer is awesome for gaming because you get really good frame rates in games like Minecraft, as well as Fortnite. However, it does seem to be inconsistent at some points because it can have really good frame rates at some point but really poor framerates at other times. I don't really know the reasoning behind this, these are just my observations. My gameplay in Minecraft (in the max settings), I got around 120-200 FPS and in Fortnite (in the max settings), I got around 100-160 FPS. When I ran Fortnite, after a few minutes of playing, the fan started to get noticeably louder and louder which I don't mind but just another observation. It does get quite loud but I just increase the volume so the noise is pretty much cancelled out. I really enjoy gaming with this computer but the battery life only goes for at least two hours until you have to charge it while playing. Another thing I've noticed with this computer is that the some of the keys in the keyboard seems somewhat tough to press on. If you do decide to get this gaming laptop, expect to apply more force than usual onto the keyboard because some of the keys can be stuck. Other than these two things (battery life and keyboard), this is an excellent gaming computer, would definitely invest into something like this again. Don't forget, if you buy this gaming laptop with the mouse, the mouse is WIRED (by USB), not Bluetooth, so be aware of that.

This is one of the best purchases I've ever made in terms of laptops. I've owned mine going on 5 years now and its been a phenomenal machine to work with. As a student, it filled every box I was looking for. Good gaming performance, good response time, not too heavy or flashy to bring to class, and relatively easy to travel with. It comes with one extra M.2 slot an a 2.5 SATA slot, which were relatively intuitive and easy to use to upgrade my storage. The only reason I'm looking to move on from it now is I need something slimmer for travel and although this is pretty easy to travel with, its slightly bulky due to the air cooling (which is a good thing, it heats up with intense gaming sessions). If you are planning on using this for heavy gaming, I'd recommend a cooling pad to put underneath and it should treat you very well (I'd recommend a cooling pad for anyone using a gaming laptop, it's a common add on for gamers). My needs have outgrown this laptop, but I'll always have a soft spot for it.

As with most Intel CPUs in latptops, it runs hot and is affected by thermal throttling WELL before you get to max performance. I clock my CPU down to 80% in power management, and run my fans at max while gaming. Have had no performance issues since then. CPU temp will sit around 80 and spike up briefly to mid-90's while gaming.Graphics card is cool as a cucumber. Will sit around 70 degrees while under 100% load while gaming, never gets much higher than that.Acer Nitro Sense is fantastic, I use it to set my fan speed to max before I enter a game. You will get the best performance this way. ALSO, MINIMIZE NItrosense after setting the fan speed. It uses about 10% CPU power animating the fans if you do not minimize it lol.Also comes with cable to install in a large SSD drive. All round would definitely buy again!

An amazing gaming machine. You can honestly play any AAA games at max settings 60+ fps. If you wanna have a consistent 144fps experience then I recommend playing at medium high settings (obviously depending on the game).Pros:- Excellent for everyday use- Handles games at medium high, max settings really well- 144hz is like eye candy- Great machine overallBUT that isn't to say that the laptop doesn't have issues of its ownCons:- Mediocre battery life, 3-4 hours during typical non-gaming use (always carry the power brick)- Fans get really loud but that's because nitrosense, Acer's cooling software, automatically sets an rpm depending on the load and temps- Temps are a tad bit high but it never throttled during my use- Decent ssd but storage is really lacking (256gb ssd)^ but there's another m.2 slot and a 2.5 hdd or sata ssd slot so upgrading shouldn't be an issue.TL;DRThis laptop is a competent gaming rig, though it does have issues of its own. If you want a good gaming PC for 1000-1100 USD then look no further.
