Fire it up then go full throttle faster and more effectively than ever with Acer's next evolution of its Nitro 5 gaming laptop. The new Nitro 5 soars to new levels of performance for gamers and creators, courtesy of its 12th Gen Intel® Core™ processor and NVIDIA® GeForce RTX 3050 graphics—powered by Ampere™ NVIDIA's RTX architecture! Next, toss in the vivid, crystal-clear 17.3” Full HD display with a 144Hz IPS panel, ample cooling and a 4-zone RGB keyboard and you can see why the Nitro 5 is a knockout hit for gamers of every level!
Dominating Specs
i5 processor and NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3050 GPU (powered by the award-winning Ampere architecture—NVIDIA’s 2nd gen RTX). Configure your laptop for top speed and massive storage with two slots for Gen 4 M.2 PCle and up to 32GB of DDR4 3200RAM.
Picture-Perfect. Furiously Fast
With the sharp visuals of a 17.3” Full HD IPS display with a lightning-quick 144Hz refresh rate, your game sessions will be fluid, unbroken, and unmatched. Now you can land those reflexive shots with pinpoint accuracy and minimal ghosting.
Chilled to Perfection
The newly refined chassis comes with a few extra tricks up its sleeve in the form of dual-fan cooling, dual-intakes (top and bottom), and a quad-exhaust port design. Pop open the NitroSense utility app for extra control and take command over fan speeds, lighting, and more
The Key to Victory
Spice things up with the 4-zone RGB keyboard and take command of the inner workings of the laptop via the dedicated NitroSense Kay. The WASD and arrow keys are also highlighted for easy visibility for those clutch moments
Breaking the Sound Barrier

Q: QuestionHow much ram is in the laptop(1 answer)
- A: AnswerThis laptop supports DDR4 3200 SO-DIMM; Kingston and Hynix are among two brands tested/qualified by Acer.
Answered by TeamAcer
- A: AnswerCareful. I almost made that purchase based on a previous answer saying the "only difference is the SSD capacity." It appears the 57WA does NOT have a Thunderbolt port. In my opinion this is a significant difference to point out. Obviously if you don't care about Thunderbolt, then the $150 savings for 256GB less storage space is worth it.
