5.0 out of 5 stars After 32gb ram upgrade plays battlefield 2042 max settings.
Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2024
The 8gb ram will not play current video games on high or low settings aside from counterstrike 2 / valorant. Battlefield 2042 lowest settings is unplayable choppy and freezes.

After 32gb ram upgrade it plays battlefield 2042 on max settings perfectly and the best notebook gaming machine I've ever had.

It needs the upgraded ram to function as a gaming high-end PC.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Laptop!! Check out Battery Config at end!! ???? Best Budget Gaming Laptop of 2022!! ????

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 Best laptop for your money, if memory ain't an issue...
Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2022
Basically, the best budget computer. Yeah, including Desktops.

You're telling me I can buy a gaming computer that outperforms AND replaces Xbox, can be used on the go, and only costs 800$?? That's amazing. Gaming laptops have never been more affordable, and powerful, all at once. Half the price of your standard gaming laptops, without the assembly of a gaming desktop.

Enough gushing, though. It's not perfect. At this price, you can play generally any of the standard games with only minor problems. I played Halo Infinite and Modern Warfare well, loading faster than my Xbox buddies, but some menu navigation issues here and there were difficult to ignore. These games themselves run very well, but really push your computer's GPU, which means don't expect to play high end games for long without charging. That is to be expected.

The material that makes this computer aren't the best, but good for the money. It's not the most delicate computer, but maybe don't go crazy and throw it or spill anything on it. It's a bit heavy if you plan to vibe out in bed or on the couch. Definitely don't game with this thing on your lap. Keyboard is so-so. Maybe don't eat over this computer unless you are okay with crumbs in the keyboard. Speakers are fantastic in my opinion. You can connect some Bluetooth speakers or earphones easily if you think otherwise.

The AN515 model, the cheaper 800$ish you're likely looking at, you'll gonna lacking in RAM and SSD memory. It's not the end of the world...who am I kidding? 250gb SSD? That's way to small! Maybe consider the models with more RAM and Storage. They can run between 1000-1200$, but if you can afford it, or upgrade the RAM and storage yourself, it makes a world of difference. The most you'll need is an external HDD, which is maybe 80$ for 1tb. Still cheaper than most laptops and desktops.

The Nitro 5 is definitely the best computer for a budget or if you're starting out and want a computer you can play right out the box. This can replace your Xbox, or a spare Xbox when you have friends over. This plays the majority of PC games at good resolution and framerate. As a casual laptop for websurfing, videos, programming, Photoshop, you're in good hands, and can be easily upgraded if RAM or memory is an issue. Think of it as a portable desktop, or even a portable Xbox. You won't be disappointed, especially at this price. Great for newcomers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worth the Purchase
Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2024
Not sure why it wants you to rate it as a touch screen model when there's no function for it. However, after a few months with it I'm happy. I don't game much but I've played a few easy going games and have had no actual issues, and will be upgrading to 32GB of RAM just because. My biggest issue is that if you stay on a bright screen for a while, like Amazon for example, and then go to a website where you're using a dark mode, like I do on Discord, the ghost image can be seen. Also, when streaming shows/movies there's always a bright spot in the bottom left corner as if someone is home and forgot to turn the light off in a room. It's distracting.
