I got this for my son's 16th birthday. He's into gaming, both playing and designing. I didn't have thousands to spend on a gaming laptop, but I was able to afford this one. The best part is, it's number one in every metric online when compared to other lower priced gaming laptops. It's said to be the best one you can get off you're on a budget. And they weren't wrong. It has everything he needs/wanted. The graphics are perfect for all his games, and it doesn't lag/glitch/load slow for anything he's played so far. So everything he's done has been smooth and crisp. It has an SSD drive so load times are milliseconds, the only thing I'd that there's only 8 gbs of ram, but there is a slot and we plan on doubling it, so no actual problem. It has windows 11, which I'm sure is good for something, and it has met and exceeded everything he's needed or wanted from it. This is a great buy, at a reasonable price, especially if you want a real gaming laptop. If you're looking at another one, I'm telling you, you'll regret not getting this one. Truly the best one in it's price range.

For the price this laptop is a great game pc. You can get a larger screen, faster chipsets and a bigger HD but for under $700 this thing rocks! I can’t load all my games at once on its 500GB drive but I don’t have to. Especially in the age of Steam. For the price and with beautiful graphics and only occasional restarts (Crysis) I am very happy.

at $950 I had to take the chance on this laptop despite some of the reviews being bad. If you're considering this laptop my guess is you're like me in that you dont want to build a pc yourself for whatever reason. I would say this was a fair purchase but if you can wait, i'd say save up a bit more and get a pc built for yourself at microcenter or something. I have played many games and all of them can be played on at least medium settings with no lag. That would include cyberpunk 2077 to give you an idea. I really only have one problem with the laptop and it makes it a bad long term investment. From fully charged, i can only game for maybe 50 minutes. Cant even reach an hour. If that sounds unpleasant to you then pass on this. Otherwise it serves its purpose for me in playing all the games I couldn't on my previous laptop.Months later and I am still pleased with the laptop. It acts a bit different from when I got it. Before I would only play games without it being plugged in and so I could only play for an hour before I turned it off to charge. In that state I could play most high end games on medium settings with no lag. That is no longer the case. Now I lag on the lowest settings on these games and even games I feel should not lag at all. But this is only while unplugged. While it is charging I can play any game I want on high settings and on some older games the highest settings. I play cyberpunk 2077 on high but that's cause I don't care to push the limits. This laptop can run anything care free while plugged but I just here to play in that state. I looked online and apparently that's normal for gaming laptops, they utilize all their strength when plugged and it's no problem playing in that state. But I'd hate for the battery to die sooner by doing that so I play a game called nioh while unplugged since it can handle it. And I play assassin's Creed origins on the highest settings while plugged and charging up. I try not to play for long past the point it's fully charged. So this is my experience, I say it was money well spent.

it delivers great performance at gaming.but when i turn it on the first time windows dint work, if i don't go into setup and set the right boot sequence it wont boot up normally any other customer would have to look for help to male the laptop to work, so the laptop is great no problems at all but i got that issue at at the first time booting.

I like the size of the screen and the overall solid feel of the laptop. Its very fast and efficient.The only con Ive found so far is it gets very hot (I do play my game for hours tho)however the built in fans are very effective at the ultra setting and able to cool the laptop down substantially. So far great gaming laptop. Graphics are beautiful BUT screen brightness is lacking a little but not much.Pros- Fast , Efficient, Good Graphics, Loud and clear sound quality.Cons- Temp, Loud fans, Screen could be a tad bit brighter.I got the model that goes for $799 regularly. No regrets with this purchase it does what I wanted it to do.

very nice computer

I regret every second I’ve spent with this laptop. I was really excited to get the Acer Nitro 5, thinking it would give me a decent performance for gaming and daily use. Instead, I got a sluggish nightmare.What really sealed the deal for my hatred of this laptop is the battery. It’s completely dead after a couple of months. I didn’t even get a full year before it started draining in an hour or less. A laptop that doesn’t hold a charge is practically useless.To top it off, the support team is a joke. I tried contacting them and they were completely useless. I got generic responses and no real solutions. It’s clear that Acer doesn’t care about its customers at all.Do yourself a favor and stay far away from this product. It’s nothing but problems, and you’ll end up regretting spending a dime on it. Don’t waste your time or money on the Acer Nitro 5.

It's a really great all in one gaming laptop for the price. It plays most games. Though, I played Lie of Pie from steam and it would run well for awhile,but later the graphics will be a little off and stop(but it could be somethibg else). Otherwise, it's great and can play high demanding graphics. I also played Insurgency Sandstorm on Steam and it played great for hours. Battery life for playing games is very short and needed to be plugged in. If playing lighter games like WOW, it can maybe last for an hour. For other uses like youtube,work, movies and etc.,the battery will last longer.
