Acer Nitro 5 - Honest Review 

Glad I could help!

Yes that's why I like this review is a honest as can be and not only that but kind enough to help you make it better .

I would disagree bc in a gaming laptop u have alot more opportunities and less delay

I've been using my Nitro for 3 years now and it's still going strong. I'd recommend it, just don't expect running AAA's above 60fps. Also, as stated in the video, you need to upgrade it's RAM. I'm still confused why they still haven't made the 2021-22 edition 16GB 🤔

@@Smitty19966 what's AAA?

@@whoisronny1311 AAA game titles

All I really play is minecraft so I'm looking around as well. This one sounds like it will be a good fit for what I wanna do. I film RU-vid but wanna branch out into filming my minecraft world as well.

Bro I play Rocket League every day on my ps4. But I'm looking for a laptop so I can play workshop maps, but I also need a laptop for everyday stuff. Please tell me what you've ended up getting.

Yup, I have 3TB SSD total in this laptop. Best value, no other laptop have 3 storage slot

hey so i’m planning on buying it as well, wanted to know how is it

@@Ecliptic- it's pretty good. Can run bo3 on highest settings. Runs lots of games great. For some reason I struggle running Minecraft, even though every other game works.

@@Ecliptic- the biggest problem I had was the low storage, but it's super easy to upgrade that even I could do it with zero computer experience. I'd also get a mouse instead of using the trackpad, because it kinda lags for me for some reason.

@@ninjapistol14 is the nitro 5 good for both gaming and using it for student work like PowerPoint or word?

@@alioola7727 tbh I haven't used anything like that, but surfing the internet is pretty good. Also something I wish I knew is that THERE IS NO SD CARD SLOT, YOU'LL NEED TO GET AN ADAPTER. I have a good one if y'all need a link.

Good to hear this as I bought it today, delivered tomorrow. Will do the same upgrades you have done.

Well, Apple tried and failed.😅

I expect 2023 will be the year devices will come out without USB ports, just USB-C

What upgrades did you do ?

I got the same but with i5 11400H 6 core, that's beast

@@bandhkedalosochomat1082 how much ram did you got? If 16gb ram is it dual channel ram?

@@boyscoob9583 Yep

@@bandhkedalosochomat1082 how are the temps for cpu and gpu?

link to the laptop

Can you link the laptop please? I might get one

How Is it so far?

​@@timmyhackings5181 Only issue was that my screen died, but it was replaced under warranty. (I think that was more due to a bad component from a supplier since this doesn't appear to be a common issue.) Other than that it's been very good. Battery life hasn't decline much.

Is it easy to upgrade for somone whose never had a computer

I’m in love with this laptop 🫶🏼

Its also not a bad idea to unplug the cmos battery for at least 10 mins, (under main battery) especially as changing spec and will reset the mother board to default settings

It’ll take more experience before I fully can. But I HIGHLY recommend checking out Dave2D on RU-vid. He’s my go-to guy for laptops.

@@TechSpaceCowboy Try olive oil or vegetable oil instead of acetone or polish remover just to be sure of damaging plastics, if you're careful doesn't really matter but acetone in the wrong hands is bad for plastic haha

Noice

As long as they’re the same speed it should be fine, but I personally think it’s a good idea to buy your ram at the same time. I’d just spend the extra cash and get 2 8gb sticks, or 2 16’s of the same model at the same time.

Thank you:) I’ll get there.

The one I got is red even with the lights off. You must have a different model than this one

Nice!!! Jealous of that deal

What website

Same I bought the exact same one

what's the best between two? acer nitro or asus tuf? i wanna buy a new laptop

@@anandamulyarahardja3886 I heard there's some issues with TUF F15. Idk, try reddit it more

LOL

Are you on intel? Can you use Intel XTU and try undervolt it?

You’d have a much better time along the way, but it wouldn’t be required.

@@TechSpaceCowboy okay thank you!

Yeah, it’s no one’s top choice laptop, but it does do very well for budget gaming. Like the little engine that could. I got stuck with the Ryzen 5 rx 560x model a couple years ago, when I was looking for Amy first gaming laptop and my mom saw this in open box and thought it’d be fun to rub in my face that she got one first. She’s an Apple user. That decision lasted all of two weeks. I took pity and bought it off of her, but was disappointed I didn’t get GeForce. Two years, almost three years later, every time I think I’m at my limit with it, I shove some new upgrade through, and bam it works like new. First time? Shoved 32 gigs of RAM into it. Ran like magic. Second time? Turned up the power options. Third? Run the fans at max. Final time was recent, I realized finally how to update the graphic card, and it runs like magic again, running Back 4 Blood and other new titles on low- medium. But I’m finally kind of done, and I’m upgrading to a desktop in a short while. Not going to have top of the line GPU but everything else inside it will be awesome. Still, if there ever was a computer to surprise me, it was the Nitro 5. The little engine that could.

You upgraded it yourself or did you bring it to a technician?

It is better to upgrade the storage internally or just get an external storage?

@@spiritualliving8318 internal because internal ssd last bit longer in lifespa and better sustained speed

I bought mine in 2019 too but now my dad is the one using it

Every competitor has bigger bettery, so just search after your preferences.

It is meant to be plugged in at like... all times it think 😂 think of it as a desktop that you take anywhere that has an outlet and a desk
