Acer Nitro 5 - The Budget King of 2023? 

Acer Nitro 5 2023 first impressions! The change to 16:10 is a nice one. The price will determine whether this is a hit in 2023. Hope everyone is doing well!

Big battery and removal of the 2.5" drive bay, about time!

Got yourself a new sub Matt! Love the content. Concise, informative, as un-biased as possible, and ON TIME and UP TO DATE info. Well done sir! Can't wait to see other 40xx laptop reviews... recently sold my 1060 and am currently out of laptop, looking forward to some new reviews and deals!

It's good to know that Nitro 5 is improving for the better. I still use my Acer Nitro 5 from early 2021 (AN515-55). The change to 16 :10 screen ratio will definitely improve the use for my professional work (other than gaming). 😄

The QHD version is interesting, will have to see how prices compare to Legion 5i Pro

I still use my Acer Nitro 5 2018, I7 8gen, still doing amazingly with 32gb of ram and 500gb m.2 ssd. I'm a fan of the nitro 5, it's a good laptop for it's price point

definitely a client of Acer here. Ending 2021 I was looking for a gaming laptop, where gpu prices for desktop where insane, laptops were the option. Best switch i have ever did. I endep up buying an ACER NITRO 5 17.3 inch. 144hz with 3060gpu, with an insane fair price of 999 euros, it came with 8gb of ram so i have to buy new ram but still the best price by far that i found. Still using it now, im gaming, editing with this laptop at the date, no problem at all, have to tweak the voltages for lower temperatures but thats normal in laptops. Hand down to acer, they are making GOOD, durable, price performance laptops. I would definitely buy another with a newest gpu. But so far this model that i have still rocking it.

I have the old one with 10th gen i7 and 1660Ti, its nice to use but gets really hot on the keyboard, the fan noise is loud too. Nice to see the Nitro 5 has evolved so much

I never thought to compare my nitro 5 to others, they all seemed the same - at least visually. Now I’m wondering which year had THE BEST price to performance? Is it going to be 2023?

It's about time I upgraded my 2017 Nitro 5 model😆. The reason I waited so long is I wasn't particularly pleased with the newer ones but this one is probably gonna be the one for me.

ACER makes the best budget gaming laptops hands down. I'm still rocking a Helios 300 from 2018 with Core i7 8750H + GTX 1060 6GB + 32GB RAM. While the laptop initially ran hot out of the box, after undervolting the CPU & GPU along with new thermal paste, it was the fastest 8750H+1060 combo of that time, and it still is. I'm not a heavy gamer, I bought the laptop mainly for MATLAB & AutoCAD and this thing still flies in 2023. My screen is 60Hz which is fine for me, but its beautiful with 98% sRGB.

My oldest boy is going off to college in the fall of 2023. He’s always used a desktop but our plan is to get him his first gaming laptop for school. I’m really looking forward to your gaming laptop reviews so we can pick out the best one for him.

So do you recommend me to buy for video editing purpose only ? ( adobe premiere pro )

For some balanced fan mode and GPU-only load, what are benchmarks and noise (dB and sample)?

Using acer nitro 2018 version and IT STILL ROCKS 😘

Great review. Will love to see this paired up with the Asus Rog Strix G17 laptop.

Good content as always boss we will be waiting for the review soon

First review of a 2023 laptops let's go! After watching the videos some thoughts are as follow: -It's seems that we're basically getting an HS series of the 6900HX since it's Zen 3 with new naming scheme. - Digging the new look although the logo on the screen could be a tad more subtle. - Old keyboard but we have a turbo mode like the Helios 300 from yesteryear. - Still waiting on that RTX 4070 reviews. This embargo period is really coming up. Pretty sure it's around February since that's where all the sales kick in. Can't wait to see how capable those chips are. Hopefully those new naming scheme gets an upgrade over last time cause otherwise, we're basically getting the 6900HS.

looks good but i think they wont be appealing to the budget segment anymore. But still a Great laptop if the price is right and performance

Can you make a comparison video of this laptop and the predator helios 2022 after you gpt the retail version of this laptop? I'm going to buy a laptop mid 2023s and I'm choosing between this nitro 16 and predator helios 2022. It's quite hard to choose what to buy.

Last year i bought nitro 5, cant really agree with saying its a budget laptop. Overall i really like it, so far all games i played runs smooth and good at ultra settings. The only thing i hate is how hot laptop gets. On games like rdt2, roe, csgo, dayz it gets up to 94celsius. Bought cooling pad, so its little better now, up to like 89-90. Price was about 2200 euro, it was on discout + got extra discout since it was last laptop they had on the store(display model), so paid 1800euro for it. Specs are: 17inch Rtx3080 Qhd 165hz AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX 16gb of ram 1tb ssd

I cannot wait for your full review on the latest Nitro 5 model. I am currently saving up to buy a gaming laptop and I have been an Acer user since primary school. Seeing the latest model boosts me to save up more.

Hi Mathew! Thank you for your great videos! Could you please tell Samsung to produce an 8TB version of T7 Shield SSD? I'm a video editor and badly need an 8TB portable SSD.

Got the 3070 ti with 6800H version for ~$900, absolute freaking steal... it also has 1440p with 165hz, I manually upgraded its 1 TB SSD to 2 and 16 gb ddr5 ram to 32 for $120, super worth it

They should move the LAN port to the back too.

When are the new gaming laptops of 2023 going to be available for purchase? Can't wait for them!

Is this good? My experienced in acer was bad battery. Always lasts for 2 years only. :(

Give us some different options around the same price range for future videos. I’m in the market for a beginners to moderate level gaming laptop. Had a older nitro 5 a while back and performed well. Screen sucked.

Hey hey how's the fan the heating does it have heating problems if gamed excessively like previous models?

Hello Mr. Matthew, Pls is there a way to get us from 2018-2020 or Used Gaming laptops with good color accuracy, for those that are on a budget. Thanks sir

Does every USB 4.0 port allow egpu connectivity?

Bought this laptop last year for 1k from best buy it's good. 12th gen i5, rtx 3050ti, 16 GB ram, 500gigs ssd.

hey bro should i buy the old nitro or wait for the new model and when this is gonna come on market

Lookin good. Soundin good. 4070! 😳

What could be the price? Will it be above 2400 USD for rtx 4070 varient?

i want rtx 3060 version 2022...buy 2022 or waiting 2023 rtx 4060?? is more different or only 10-15% performance?

When is the full review coming for this device?

Interesting the N logo is a slightly modified half-version of their Predator series logo.

question any information on what 40 series it'll be using? like 4050 or 4060 or 4080?

Is there an all AMD version?

So, would this be an upgrade if I come from an Acer Helios 300 from 2019? And I pretty much use it as a stationary PC?

How you clean the fans from dust if there is metal thermal paste??? I want to see a model with liquid metal that let you clean fans without removind the cooper radiator from the cpu and gpu, bcs lets be real liquid metal does not need to be changed. They just force (all metal liquid laptops)you to pay for cleaning you laptop regular.

Where can I buy?

just checked on my predator now the 11th gen, icon on Nitro button is the Half icon of the Predator Sense button. Just FYI

Been seeing good deals on the 3080 laptops but seems like it's worth waiting for the 4070 laptops.... ?

Why, why do they have to destroy the laptop with a numeric keyboard - you need the space to maybe turn the speakers to the side so the motherboard can use more space for cooling.

I’ve been searching for this particular model tgat you talk about but I can’t find it anywhere whyy???

Can you suggest a laptop for music production?

I cant seem to find this model in the video to buy... Do you have a link since the one in the link is a different model Thank you

What I want is more $1500-$2000 midrange ultraportable options in the ballpark of 3.75-4.25lb/1.7-1.9kg. More G14-style vapor chamber 14/14.5-inchers packing a 100-125W 7700S or 4060-4070 Mobile inside? Sure. How about something like an slimmer 16-inch version of the Xenia 15/MAG-15R sporting an 85-110W 6600S or 4050/4050TI Mobile? Yes, please! 🙏

Please between the Dell g15 5520 core i5 10th gen and the Asus zephyrus m15 2060 rtx ti which should I go for

I wonder if they fixed the keyboards ghosting issues

Me and my friends have always had trackpad problems in Acer Nitro 5 (2021,2022 model). It keeps flickering here and there. Has it been fixed in this one?

Is the predator Helios 300 2023 coming out yet? I wanna see a review for that!!

If it can charge with type c I think its worth purchasing

Guys, when we will be able to purchase this laptop?

I don't know if I should get an Acer Nitro i7 12700H and a rtx 4060 or Asus tuf with Ryzen 7 6800H and rtx 3070 ti. Both cost around the same here

I'm finally about to buy a gaming laptop. I can choose between Lenovo Legion 5 with i5-11400H and RTX 3060 130W TGP and Windows 11 for about 1400$ or Gigabyte Aorus 5 with i7-12700H and RTX 3070 130W TGP and Windows 11 for 1700$. Is it worth paying extra 300$ for such a configuration or staying with Lenovo?

what about the BIOS? is now the same as Predator series?

Greetings from Iraq, how much does it cost for the Ryzen 7 HS, 16 GB DDR5 and RTX 4070 8 GB with SATA SSD 512 GB? DO we have a clarity on pricing yet? Also another one, is there a model with these specs with touch screen and a pen? I assume the answer is NO, but it kinda cool to have these options jsut like Lenovo's X lineup with 180 degree spin screen, thanks for the good work dear, have a nice one!

I have this laptop but not sure how the built in mux switch works. I can’t select Discrete graphic only on Nitrosense. But I can select Nvidia GPU only on the Nvidia control panel

i'm 3d visualizer using corona renderer wich one will perform better the intel 12700h or ryzen 7735hs ????

Does this laptop come with different variants for different countries

I just bought the 2022 version last November and this 2023 version is looks cooler than the old

I'm hoping to upgrade my 1070 desktop this year and I'm likely to go for a laptop instead, and I'm really looking forward to seeing just how much power we will get this year on more efficient chips. The Steamdeck has impressed me for what it does at such a low power draw and I'm hoping a sub 100w laptop will be able to power modern games at 1440p on high settings. That's my metric for finally upgrading my desktop. Raw power is nice and all, but I also appreciate efficiency as well.

I have the 17 inch 2022 model and it's awesome. Super easy to upgrade and it can easily handle any game I throw at it

remember that Ryzen 7 gen laptop cpu code (xx3x) means it's zen3 (last gen)

To anyone reading this comment - can you please recommend a laptop for someone that wants to explore all parts of development? I'm already working on web dev but I want to explore everything like Android dev, game dev, ai ml, ds, cybersecurity. I also want to explore digital art 3d modelling rendering software like blender. Are there any laptops under 70k? Also is it better to buy online or offline? I'm extremely confused with so many laptops options, can you recommend what laptop with model or specifications would be great?

Hi, I have Nitro 17(i7 13700HX, rtx 4060) and gpu doesn't reach max tgp(115W + 25W boost mode). II am playing F1 22 and God of War on ultra high settings and results are: F1 22 -> 60 -70W God of War ~90W I don't want to use turbo boost, but I wish it would work at a higher level, at about 100W. Can it be fixed? Thanks!

Does the keys still fades after few weeks or months?

Should I get 1080p of 1440p for the rtx4060 acer nitro?

I brought a Nitro 5 in 2020 with the Ryzen 5 and a 1650. It was decent but the GPU is no longer detected.

2023 is the best year to buy a laptop, guess I have to stick with my 2021 model 10th gen predator.

How's the display? Is it 100%

Please tell me Intel Core i5 1240p 12core better and powerful then which in Intel I5 and i7 proccessor and R7 5800H from better AMD proccessor ?

Does noone notice that the Nitro logo is just a half Predator logo?

I would buy one if it came with the 4080.... Looks like the Predator Helios 18 will be the one to get for me

Good for music production?

Why don't you show the power bricks?

Very interesting laptop, let's wait for the price.

which laptops is best for creators

Still rocking my Acer nitro AN515-53

The new logo looks like a split version of the predator with subtle differences

Is the N logo in the lid light-up?

i can't find the one with the 'N' logo. What's the difference???

Why they use last year gen Ryzen?? I think every laptop around 1000$ and more should have at least Zen 4..

Where can I get that 5600 mhz version because I enter the page and it comes out that it is 4800mh

sir how much tb can we upgrade in second m.2 slot

Looking for this!

Is it possible to put this 90wh battery in acer Nitro 5 2022 model ?

I use nitro 5 2020 and so love still.

nice logo half of the predator logo

This Nitro is shaping up to finally be the one that Jarrod might like

Do you have benchmarks for the 16 inch AMD Ryzen 7 Model?

Isnt this the acer nitro 16?

Worth it nitro 5 or nitro 16?

Oh my god !! whens the embargo for the 40 series laptop graphics card lifting ... performance better be good

How the temps

Have anyone tried mock fitting the new nitro 5 battery on an older nitro 5 model?

can we charge the 2022 model with type c cable
