I had to log in to like the video. I had a handful of questions about this laptop and after diving into youtube through tens of videos this is the only one that had the answers that I needed. TY
Recently picked this up myself for around 700$ (i5-10300h and rtx 3050, then spent another 100$ for 16gb RAM and a TB SSD). Mostly wanted a laptop for college work but being able to take my steam library on the go made me settle for a gaming laptop. Definitely got what I wanted out of this piece of tech, all the games I play run buttery smooth. Only downsides are the battery seems to die within an hour of gaming roughly 3 hours for other stuff (writing, youtube, etc.) mine came with Windows 11 instead of 10 (personally just prefer 10 in all aspects) and the 15.6in screen is definitely a huge change for my eyes coming from a 27in monitor. Even with all these downsides, I still love this thing and highly recommend grabbing it if its on sale and you wanna take your games on the go.
@realtoastybros bro who TF are you scamming lmao ?
@@littlefishie743 lol he thinks he’s slick
I got the same laptop at BJs wholesale club for $800 on sale. The model I got has most of the same specs as this one except it has 16 gigs of ram in dual channel and a 512gb SSD. It also came in a package deal with a free gaming headset and mouse. I was surprised at how well it handles most games. I am able to play most games on medium to max settings. I would definitely recommend it. I did the same thing you guys did. When I first got it I thought it was DOA. The power cable really does feel like it snaps into place, but then you have to push even more to get it to click again. I wouldn't buy this exact model unless it was on sale. It's a little out of date. Newer versions have an 11th Gen i5 and rgb keyboard instead of just red and are basically in the same price range.
I have that exact laptop... kind of. Mine is the 10300h and a 3050ti... and it came with 16gb ram in dual channel. It was $899. I bought it a year ago and it works absolutely fantastic. I love it and it plays all my games wonderfully. Love your guys content. Keep it up!
Does it overheat?
@@sparkgames7258 not at all... a little loud and warm sometimes but ive never had an issue. Even playing AAA games. Runs perfect
have you ever had any issues with the build quality?
4 cores isnt quiet enough for a 3050 or 3050 ti
I got my 3060 version 1 year ago for 899 euros ;) with 8gb ram though, I already had a extra 16gb ram at home so now i have 24gb and 1tb of ssd. absoilute beast for a extremly low price
I have the 11400h + 3060 version of this laptop. Plays games beautifully when connected to an external 144hz monitor.
Slight undervolt and lock turbo boost at 3.4-3.6 and it maintains the clock speeds, allowing for sub 80C CPU and 70C max GPU temps.
Very happy with it.
I am looking forward to getting this, I think I am getting it for my birthday. Overall, seeing this review makes me want it more and more sure that this laptop supports a lot of games so me and my friends can play together.
Dude I love your black sweater❤️
I got one of ryzen 7 3060 version of the nitro 5 last year. Best thing I’ve bought
I have the same version as you and I love it. Decket it out with 24gb of ram and a hdd and I got it for 750 and spent around 70 on upgrades and about 250 on my setup so I got a amazing setup that's pretty portable for 1 grand. Cus I'm a teen it took a few Christmases and birthdays to get it all lol
i love how cheap these gaming laptops are getting and they are so packed with tech. yea its a 3050 laptop but to a lot of people that $700 price tag and you can still upgrade ram and memory is amazing. not to mention comes with a 144hz monitor thats awesome.
too bad Americas inflation makes everything over cost this $770 would have been around 500 in late 2019 early 2020
@@Prodbytocile 3050 didnt exist during that time period, but the 1650 version would be around the same price
I5 10300h is bad, i5 12500h is much better

Great video!
Love u guys❤
Ayy love your videos keep it up:)
I had this laptop on test, nice device, good value for the price 👍
Would you please share games fps with this labtop?
@@sushantijam4098 i have the 3060 version and can run any game on high graphics. its a beast bro
Keep up the good work
Yes Discord Gang !! I'm also rocking the Nitro 5, it is very surprising especially the AMD version, it outperforms the Intel because of how efficient the chip is.
-battery last longer
-better performance on battery
-optimized igpu
Couldnt get it, ended up with an MSI GS63VR Stealth with a 1060 >;c. At the time AND laptops were hard to get.
I just picked up one of these and immediately thought I had to return it because I didn't realize the cable needed to be pushed in hard as well. I took a hard look at it and eventually realized what you did. 😅
I picked myself up an msi gf65 thin 10ue with a 10500h and a 3060 about a year ago for $850. It came with a single 8gb stick of ram rated for 3200mhz and a 512 gb m.2 ssd. I put in another 8gb stick of ram from my old laptop cause I felt cheap and that stick is rated for 2666mhz. Runs every game super well but the cpu gets up to 95c while gaming cause it's only got 2 heat pipes. It's a solid 144hz experience on high to very high settings. Keyboard feels nice, but the thing sounds like it's about to take off when it starts to get warm. I mainly use it for school because I don't want to kill the cpu in games when I just bought a 3070 for my desktop anyways. If you read this far, you have gone through the mind of a tech nerd with adhd.
Well you arent alone, i suffer with adhd too and I am a tech nerd
Tip for the temperature buy a cooler and change fan speeds on dragon center after doing these my gpu runs at high 60s or low 70s and my cpu at low 70s
Hey can you come out with another full setup vid I plan on getting a set up
I had a preused Nitro 5 with a 1650, and sold it to a friend, and I kind of miss it. It was a great laptop with good battery life and felt so nice to type on.
@ireid not the best. It's a 1650 along with mobile parts. I remember a friend having to play on 900p or lowering the render scale at low settings for a stable 60 to 70ish. Then again, warzone isn't exactly the most optimized.
@ireid I have the 1650 version of the nitro 5, currently with single 8gb stick of ram and I can get a solid 60fps at 1080p when on the ground
@@Trevorwyatt18 rly? is that on low settings? I have a 1650 Aspire 7 rn.
same here. bought a ryzen 7 4800h with gtx 1650 ti last year and sold it. Now I kinda missed it. Time to save a ton money to really give myself a treat once in awhile.
I have the 3060 version and the battey life is the only down side. 2 hours its done.
Cant wait to get this laptop for my bday
I got this 2 months ago this thing is beastly ❤
i have this exact laptop, and i havent lagged once playing apex on high, escape from tarkov and dayz. it runs smoothly, and i still havemt upgraded it to dual stick
Didi you have any problems?
I got the 3050ti model on sale for $700. It's an absolute beast and more than worth the price. It can play any game I throw at it with at least 60fps, esports titles at a smooth 144+fps, and can edit 1080p projects like a hot knife cutting through butter. My desktop is still the preferred and better option by a longshot, but at least I know I can be productive and game elsewhere without being handicapped.
Hey can you guys do the HP OMEN 16.1 QHD laptop from best buy
I got the nitro 5 last month, but with a GTX 1650, 10th gen i5, 8GB single stick RAM and I gotta say that 3050 isn't much better from my 1650, at least in apex, I'm getting just a bit lower FPS on Gun Run
Rtx 3050 mobile is 65% better than Gtx 1650 mobile
And rtx 3050 mobile with DLSS better than Gtx 1650 mobile in 89%
i have one and i love it, trying to save some money to upgrade the ram and buy a 1TB ssd
this laptop was great when i got one, then i switched to a chronos mini from skytech
the keyboard is actually rgb (on my one at least) if you go into the nitro software and then i think click in the top right it comes up with options
not this one, theres a red keyboard or rbg
please test other games like gta 5, cyberpunk 2077, spider man with this labtop. I have this labtop coming in december and I want to see how other games do with this spec
GREAT VIDEO
I love acer, was my first computer. Laptop too dang have laptops come a long way lol I had an i3 2100 with 4gb ram 😅
a other really good video from you guys the only thing i would like to see is if you can test some other games thats not apex fortnite halo maybe some monster hunter rise metro exodus borderlands 3 elden ring horzon zero dawn that spiderman game. it would just be nice to see a test video that is not showing games just about everyone is going to know will run on a laptop
I had this laptop and it was very nice but the fans get rather loud
I have a acer nitro 5 ryzen 5 5600h and rtx 3050 adding 8gb ram as dual channel improved its fps a lot.for fortnite i was getting around 110 fps in performance mode but with the upgrade i had less stutter and around 230 fps in performance mode.
To get better fps turn off background apps and uninstall all the useless apps
I have the 1050ti version and love it
Very Good value
I got a 3050 laptop its pretty good for 1440p and some 4k games on low with DLSS set to ultra performance.
@realtoastybros cool thanks will do👍👍
@@michaelhart5087 it's scam bruh
I did the exact same thing when I plugged mine in, I was like huh?
Bought a used acer nitro 5 on ebay for £450 bottom line cost including shipping etc 5 months ago to use at work and when not at home. I7 9750H, gtx1660ti, 16gb dual channel Ram, 256gb m.2 ssd. Absolute bargain at the time with lowest spec new rtx3050 variants going for £700 and absolutely obsurd asking prices on used hardware people wanting near new pricing alot of people with no concept of what they have. Eventually added a sn570 1tb m.2 as it supports dual m.2 for £70.
I have Nitro 5 11300H GTX1650 variants. I have been using 1 year and no problem. However, I seldom play games. I bought this for the future proof performance. For the budget user I think it is the best.
"Futureproof"
GTX 1650
💀
3050 and 1650 I’ll give them both 3 yrs max of future proof
Eh, it'll do, it's been three years and my n5 is still chugging along nicely
I wouldn't try an AAA modern game on it, however
Good thing the Nitro 5 has a 3060 spec model, right?
This is probably the perfect laptop for me because it has so much storage options (2 SSD slots + HDD expansion). Currently have a Dell Latitude 3590, 500GB SSD + 1TB HDD + 12GB RAM. Would just put everything in this laptop, perfect.
I’d recommend getting a 3060 laptop minimum it’s soo much better
@@ghost_trapz5932 I wanted to get this exact one or the i7-11800H, RTX 3050Ti variant
@@PixelatedClipz If you can wait there's a ton of new releases coming soon (not to mention black Friday and backlogged stock ect) so you'll be able to get one or better for cheaper and preferably at least a 3060.
@@Mm-vr9mt Yeah you're right but I kinda need it asap because my current laptop is on it's last limb from battery problems, hinge problems, monitor discoloration because of the stiffness in the hinge, etc lol.
@@PixelatedClipz Those are actually really easy fixes generally assuming the battery isn't soldered but what's you're budget and needs as there's probably better atm and coming (not that it's a bad pick if you can get it cheap but 3050 mobile is....)
I got a Nitro with a RTX 3080 it kicks ass!!!!!
i have this laptop and when i got it i didnt know you had to push the charging cable in and press again and i got so upset as it is my first gaming laptop and i probably had to send it back to amazon but thankfully i but it further and it worked .
i have nitro 5 i5 9300h gtx 1050 3gb ram 8gb I played apex legend I got only 60-80fps is still good 👍
Tho months ago I got a lenovo legion 5 for 850$ with a ryzen 5 and a rtx 3060

Bro in my town there are bunch of stores selling the same laptop at the same price and another Acer nitro 5 i5 11th rtx 3050 16gb single channel 500gb ssd at the same price range.. so it would be better buying the 11th gen right or does it have some problems??
Hey guys, I have a similarly spec'd nitro 5. I was wondering if yours has a glitched windows 11 install menu or if its just mine. Thanks!
I have a problem with mine, the brand's different it's the aorus 5 kb. The problem with mine is the gpu usage while playing games hovers around 40-50s area especially in apex and in all of my games, playing warzone and the fps hovers around 30-60 with dlss on. Is there a solution for this problem?
i got the one that already has 16gb so im very happy
What ram did the use in the video to upgrade? Can we get the link to it if possible.
They used a Crucial 8gb probably 2666 speed

MSI Afterburner
literally just got mine last week i7 11th gen rtx 3050ti
I bought a similar laptop in July w/16GB, i5-11400H, and RTX 3050 for $700, but I wish I'd been able to go for RTX 3060 instead.
I have a 3060 mobile, however, it's the lowest power varient, but it has never ceased to amaze me. I think that the 3050 is way better bang for the buck because those laptops will run 200 ish less than those that have a 3060. Is the 3060 $200 better in performance? I don't think so. I think it's $75-100 better.
@@singularity8943 If I had bought a couple weeks earlier, I could have gotten G5 KD with RTX 3060 for $850, but I wasn't certain yet, and hadn't learned the difference yet. If I had waited, I could have gotten G5 KD again for $850, so again $150 more.
But I don't feel the lack of 3060 yet, it's purely an intellectual loss.
So now I wait and see.
@@singularity8943 i bought the 3060 for 899 euros ;). It gets very hot though and the battery is a meme. I dont use the battery so I dont mind, I use it as a PC as I travel 24/7

Step number one when purchasing a new laptop, boot from a previously created windows usb flashdrive, wipe the system and shove in a fresh install. Bloatware hell avoided.
Granted.. with windows 11 a lot of crap software gets reinstalled automatically via the auto updater but there are ways to get rid of that too.
However, it became quite annoying what you nowadays have to do to get a clean system as everyone seems eager to mess up your experience with junkware and obsolete software that just takes up resources for no reason.
Can you check out the msi gf63 thin gaming laptop please
The Nitro 3050 is not of 95w so I skipped it and picked up Dell g15 instead 🔥🔥and it's fire

@@insooleedat1asiandude just perform a clean install of windows 10 if you want to stay far away from bugs etc.. you will be fine (personally I didn't do anything but still running with no issues)

Is it worth having over a ps5 or series x?
@@robwilliamson6181 Well it depends if you want a device that you can game and do some other things like writing and doing some work stuf, then yeah it is probobly worth over a ps5 or xbox because on a console you can only play games.
the nitro 5 series is great. however, when i bought mine back in 2019, me and my father went to several stores trying to find it, all to no avail. so when we finally got to a store that had one of these, i didn't even bother to check its specs and i was just so desperate at that point. i ended up getting the mx150 i5 version. something i still haven't forgiven myself for
MX 150? Hell no! 😂
While this laptop is good, i don't understand how it is the most popular laptop amazon. There's other gaming laptops that can out perform this one, for example the HP Pavilion Gaming laptops. You can find those around the same price point depending if it is available for you, but the acer nitro is still pretty neat.
Think it's mainly sales and marketing ect, as the pavilions not the most showy and thus thus it doesn't catch the most attention from customers vs say a nitro ect but idk if a pavilion is much better value in this price range seeing as the sales seem to make the meta there.
My experience with a HP laptop was *not* good. Main issue was the internals layout- hard to clean, a lot of vertically stacked components. Maintaining my nitro 5 by comparison was a breeze.
considered this but build quality and thermals werent as good as id like them to be
Hello guys can I get some help , whenever I go and try to buy a new laptop in Amazon , like the hp victus from ur link , I go and read on what’s in the box , and I find written battery or just charger, or webcam, does that mean it’s shipping u the battery only or just the webcam, idk maybe some help
I had a acer predator that the 2060 died for no reason after two years and they couldn’t even figure out what was wrong. Can’t say I will ever buy another acer product again. That is literally the same chassis as the pred and it does get a little warm.
About 4 years ago in 2018 I bought an acer predator with a gtx 1060 it was a good laptop but the quality definitely wasn’t there the screen was randomly flashing lines and circles and I was having other minor issues then it died about 8 months ago
ive had this for a couple months now and has been great so far. no complaints except for the monitor, a little washed.

a warning for all my nitro 5 gamers, GET THE EXTENDED WARRANTY mine had a problem with the motherboard and the GPU is toast, i saw another one for sale in FB marketplace with the same issue so it might be a common issue
iplayed 15hrs a day EVERY DAY playing new world as well as left it running days on end watching videos on youtube when i wasnt gaming. added 2x16GB ram. power block only thing that was failing. wouldnt charge sometimes usually a few taps got it going again. money got tight so i had to sell it. although it is tempting to buy on again watching the $500 pc build videos on youtube has got me leaning towards a pc instead.
did they forget to change the power plan to performance?
