5.0 out of 5 stars It's a pretty great gaming machine!

This particular laptop cost around $700 total when I bought it. I use it mostly for gaming, and it's been fantastic at that; I have some of the newest games (Like Baldur's Gate 3) run on max settings, and this laptop handles it like a champ! The glowing keys are extremely helpful when playing, as the neuropathy in my fingers makes playing by touch impossible. I will say, I thought this was the model that had the multicolor/programmable key highlights. It's not, this one is just red. Still neat, though!

Only thing I'd change is I wish I'd have sprung for the 1TB version (or more, if they make it). Two of my games were 150GB each, so the memory filled up almost instantly. I think you can expand the hard drive, so I'm going to try that.

5.0 out of 5 stars For the price, this thing rules. However, upgrades may be required.

There are plenty of reviews already, so I will be brief. I got this thing over a year ago now and have used it fairly extensively. For the price I paid, it can do some serious gaming. Primarily when I got it I was looking for a high(ish) CPU clock speed, a dedicated graphics card, and enough USB ports to support a second monitor/mouse/external HDD.

I will note that one thing about this laptop is that it has two major limiting factors. The SDD that comes with it is great for the OS, but modern games and having a bulk of files made it essentially required that I add on additional storage. My solution happened to be an external HDD, but it has space for additional internal drives.

I also had problems with capping out the RAM. 8 GB is not enough for serious gaming with a modern web browser opening. I was experiencing some choppiness. I did just upgrade to 16 GB and it is running nice and smooth. If you plan on using it for a main gaming computer, consider replacing the RAM with something more appropriate.

For the price, it really is hard to complain. Even with the cost of my upgrades to it, the total cost pales in comparison to the utility. If you are looking for a gaming laptop for under 1k, this is a worthy consideration imho.

5.0 out of 5 stars Budget friendly for new-to-PC

This is very much a highly modifiable and budget friendly starter PC. As soon as you look at the hardware you know there are going to be bottleneck points if you want to actually use this for more than 1 modern program. I immediately put it a Predator SSD and upgraded the RAM to 32 bit @ 3200 MHz (two RAM sticks at 16 is going to benefit more than a single 32) which skyrocketed the CPU performance. Every upgrade video you will see show a bunch of adapters that you don't need. There are two (2) M2 ports you can easily access removing the bottom; one hosts the original Hard Drive and the second I put the new SSD drive in, I then followed the Hard Drive copy process on their website and within 10 minutes I was done. It also opened up the bottleneck in the system and allowed games to appropriately use the GPU.
Now, the GPU is just midgrade but you get what you pay for. You're not going to play Battlefront / COD at 1080p by any means without a lot of lag, but after just the two upgrades every game so far it flawless at 720p. I could have also lowered the refresh rate from 144 Hz and gotten the responsive 1080p at the cost of smoothing. You can plug in an HDMI-ported high refresh display that bypasses the graphics bottleneck but you got a laptop for a reason and the GPU can still only handle so much.
Overall, this is my first time getting a dedicated gaming PC and I'm extremely happy with not only how well it performs but how well laid out it is to modify/upgrade. I would recommend it to people starting out and don't have a high graphics demand.

Definitely Best Budget Laptop of 2022! The I-5 10 Series is a video editing and gaming killer! ??
Great hardware to get you in to the 2020's!
I've use Devinci Resolve 18 (Free) to edit my GoPro 9 and Sony FDR-X3000 vloggs. It even handles 4k editing which is expected with this powerful processor! 8GB RAM is decent but i put anotger 8GB into the machine, which was really easy to assemble and disassemble.
1080p editing is breeze! ????
I also have Steam and a few games like War Thunder and I'm able to play with 60fps, easy, high graphics on every setting, no problem.
I don't play the newest top notch games but this could handle it, unlike some other commebts kinda under dogging this machine.
I boosted the storage with an extra 1TB M.2 Samsung SSD (amazon) for the extra storage capacity.
PC fan run while plugged in can be a tad loud, nothing you have to talk over, graphics these days arnt Galaga, almost everything use CPU and RAM, best thing to do, make sure your ram and extra sroage have heatsink. Get a laptop stand but never run the extra fan. Just packs extra dust into the machine. I have one just as a base for better bresthing of my own laptop.
The keyboard is also quite nice. I don't mind the short stokes, my fingers glade across like a gizzle.
Just make sure to lower the keyboard brightness (helps with battery)
Windows 11 isn't bad either, they did it right, has a Mac-ish feel, i like it. Quick and snappy!
Win 11 also comes with a video editor as well which now lets you edit 1080p videos for free!
Another Mac move ?? Which is fine! Not complaining!
The computer is super snappy, it's got a badass look to it, it's not heavy by any means! It's a low profile, not flat, it needs room for fans ect..
The battery great as long as you follow my settings advice.
And think of this laptop like a manual car, you have to change settings constantly. If your just browsing on battery they have to be set one way. If your about to get on some video editing then set the other
I'm very please, with extra parts my total was $967.
Absolutely love my new Acer Nitro 5!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Value Gaming Laptop
Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2022
CPU: i5-10300H / RTX3050Verified Purchase
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 that's the next big thing in graphics. On newer games you probably won't 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 it's not the brightest or most vibrant screen out there, it's 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 that's almost inevitable on a gaming laptop, it's hard to keep things cool in such a small box. Anyone who games on a laptop should invest in a good headset IMHO.)

I have opened this computer up to install a few upgrades (more on that below) and I will say I'm pretty impressed with the build quality for a computer in this segment. The components are reputable makes rather than mystery off-brands (WD for the SSD, looks like Micron on the single 8gb RAM stick.) All the panels fit together nice and go back together easily after disassembly, making upgrades something you don't have to dread.

Speaking of those upgrades... for a computer at this price point you have to live with a few compromises and here is where they may be found. The storage this model comes with is a paltry 256gb m.2 drive... If you do plan on gaming on the Nitro, either be ready to upgrade this quickly or learn to love delete-ing and re-installing games and apps constantly. Fortunately, there is a second un-used m.2 PCIe slot on the motherboard to accommodate an upgrade (this processor and motherboard supports PCIe up to gen-3 speeds.) There is also an open 2.5 inch bay for an SSD. Memory-wise, this unit comes with a single 8gb DDR4 SODIMM RAM stick installed. This should be fine for most gaming- if you don't run big apps in the background- but since this has two slots total for an upgrade I removed it and installed 2 8gb sticks of Kingston FURY Impact DDR4 RAM, just for a bit of extra headroom (the max speed the i5 10300H will operate memory at is 2933 Mhz, so it's not worth it to spend more on faster RAM.)

All in all, this is a fine machine for someone who's interested in a good no-fuss entryway into PC gaming, or a seasoned gamer who wants an inexpensive but capable machine to go mobile with. Highly Recommended!
