Acer Nitro 5 AN515-57-79TD Gaming Laptop | Intel Core i7-11800H | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU | 15.6 FHD 144Hz IPS Display | 8GB DDR4 | 512GB NVMe SSD | Killer Wi-Fi 6 | Backlit Keyboard

This is my newest laptop since 2017, but the laptop I had was from 2016. Far faster than my old one (of course) and runs every program to its max. For gaming a 3050 ti is limited to mostly 1080p gaming unless you play some of the lighter games where you can eek out 144op, but you can easily get 120fps on most games with some tweaks with around 70 to 90 fps on larger AAA titles. One of the first things you have to do with any Acer laptop is go into control panel and change the power settings, they come standard with USB and HDD/SSD auto power off which pretty much puts your laptop to sleep whether you change sleep settings or not. Also, press the (N) button by the num pad, click on the gear icon, and click to make the keyboard backlight stay on. I read some reviews online that said the keyboard backlight would turn off automatically, luckily my last laptop was a Acer predator and they have the same settings basically. Fans are almost non existent when just browsing and you can control them (finally) when doing some intense gaming (or using programs like CAD or the like). Also, the power cord is a dual step process, the first click means nothing, you have to push in till you hear a second click. I was looking for a 17 inch laptop with more than 2 USB A ports, those ports NOT on the right side (mouse interference), could game at atleast 1080p/above 60 fps, a better processor, and had a ethernet port. Sounds like alot but most laptops are 15 inch with 2 USB A ports and no ethernet ports now. Im satisfied with this purchase.

Buy one because this is awesome.

Games play very well, loading is minimal for most things, havent seemed to notice lag. Overall a very nice laptop

Satisfecho con mi compra, cumple con lo que describe buena relación precio-calidad. Puedes expandirle capacidad de almacenamiento y ram, quedaría tremendo el equipo. Lo recomiendo.

Boots fast. Laptop works great. Initial setup was easy. The only downside is the low amount of RAM.

Me agrado y es de calidad

I bought one...loved it

I bought this laptop both for college and gaming, but the amount of issues it came with makes it annoying to use. First of all, when I came it wouldnt turn on or charge (yes the charger had clicked but still nothing). I contacted acer and they told me to send it over for check up, I couldnt because I needed it for college so I asked for a refund but it wasnt going through so I had to wait a few days to see if I could get one. The laptop ended up charging so I decided to not return it (which I regret). Soon after, (like not even a day after) this glitch would randomly appear multiple times and it was annoying. The bottom of the screen would multiply, go in up and down motions, and vibrate through the whole screen and it just wouldnt stop doing it for a few seconds/minute. Knowing that they would have just told me to send it over, I sucked it up even though it would get worse every time. Secondly, the battery life. It really does suck, it never lasts more than 2 hours even when Im just doing assignments in Word. And when gaming it wont even last an hour. Thirdly, its supposed to be for gaming but it lags and its slow even when Im just using Google or doing assignments. It literally takes so long to load, games are laggy, etc. I expected a 16 RAM, i7 processor to at least run a roblox game, but no. It lags to even that. Fourthly, the charging port broke. It started having issues to charge again, sometimes it would stop charging. Not long after, it completely stopped charging so I assumed it was the charger so I bought a new one (which was $50) just to find out the charger wasnt the issue. Now, it charges if the charger is at a specific position, move it a little and itll stop charging.

Overall, this is a nice budget gaming laptop. I purchase this it replace my previous M..S..I.. as the keys were popping off of that one from tons of use. While the screen is large and the image quality much better on this Acer, thats about where it ends. The battery on this thing is awful, even with battery efficiency settings when performing basic functions like browsing the web. The Acer Cool fans are a joke -- I hit my thermal load on this laptop quicker than I ever have in my life with any gaming laptop. I played Civ VI on this thing for less than an hour, and thats about all it could handle. I did, however, purchase a separate cooling pad, and it seems to have remedied the problem. Overall, if you can get this at a discount (like I did on Prime Day), its worth it, but not for full price. One perk is it does come with Windows 11 already installed, so saves you time from upgrading later if its the latest OS youre after.
