9/10 laptop
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s an amazing laptop! I don’t like the fact that you can’t change the colors of the backlight but on the other hand it’s a great gaming laptop and in comparison to other gaming laptops it’s amazing for the price that it is I’m really enjoying it!

Two Years and Still a Great System
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As the title states, I've had this model for over two years. Acer quality is top notch and never fails to disappoint. The cooling system/chassis is simply amazing, with excellent fan control. The display is very good (could be a tad sharper). The GTX 1650 has been good for casual gaming. I removed a star because the Acer software support products (NitroSense and Care Center) are a bit dated and lack some features compared to their competitors. Additionally, I was a bit surprised that the battery will not last more than two hours during casual web browsing, even with all my meticulous optimizations. But, still a great system and still very usable.

Great gaming laptop
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this laptop. Handles my gaming well. I really like the nitro boost to cool it down. My only issue is with the lack of hard drive space. It filled up fairly quickly, but other than that, it’s great.

Really liking this thing!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not sure why this is the same price as the other Nitro 5 with the slower CPU but it is. I know it only has a 1650 GTX but it's more than enough for me, especially when paired with the i5 in this thing. And with prices crazy and out of stock, this made the most sense. Pros +Looks awesome, even comes with some cool stickers. +Awesome keyboard, colored special keys like ASDF. Red backlit keyboard (shouldn't disrupt sleep, huge plus for me, not that I plan on keeping on while I sleep but it is nice). + Vibrant matte screen w\ nice brightness +Super fast response time, especially internet page loading times. +Ability to add another m.2 hard drive and 1 regular hard drive. Cons + You may think it's dead on arrival if you don't get the power plug in all the way, but this is actually a good thing IMO. The power cable seems extra secure and it's probably an attempt to keep this port from wearing over time and causing a failure years later. There are instructions about ensuring it "clicks". + It appears the USB-C can't charge the thing. + Some upgrades, like another m.2 require prying the side to install, but not a deal breaker, it looks a bit easier than some laptops I've worked on and I think the underbelly should allow other add-ons easier. + Nothing else yet, really loving it.

UnfortunatelyUnhappy
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My son loves the laptop. It does what a gaming laptop should do at a very affordable price. But unfortunately I do have a negative comment. This was not the laptop that I bought. When I first ordered it, it had a colorful RGB keyboard and then when I picked it up I noticed that BEST Buy changed the image on the order and I ended up with the laptop with a red keyboard. I talked to the store associates and they said I could return it. Unfortunately, my son wanted a laptop and he was willing to settle.
