Try not to buy the 2019 models. 2020 has way better thermals
DEFINITELY don't buy the 2018/2017 models. They have awful thermals.

Thermal design is WAY better this year and the Ryzen CPU helps keep the price down. but that keyboard.......
I have the 2018 nitro 5. Awful thermals.
And it's only Red lighting
@@bogpan thermals ? What about fps ? 60 fps in league valorant csgo????
please make a video on legion 5 amd variant
In terms of similar price points, what would you recommend for similar performance and maybe a better looking design?
Acer: *prices the new Nitro 5 at $670*
My third world country: They definitely meant to price it at $1670.
plus shipping
The struggle is real man I feel you

I got the old Nitro 5 and I love it, the only thing I dislike is the terrible cooling, if they let us teardown the heatpipes easier for repasting It'd be much better. Granted I've upgraded several things over time: -120Hz Panel ($100AUD) -16GB RAM(~$95AUD) -Intel Optane -> 256GB SSD on purchase (~$75AUD) on an i7-8750H GTX1050.
Philippines in a nutshell. Everything is thrice as expensive.
4:54 "speakers? Let's not talk about them"
Me a nitro 5 user, very understandable have a nice day
@Vasu Srivastava they are so good noone wants to talk about them
@Vasu Srivastava its not terrible but for my taste, the gains it has was bad imo. A cheap desktop speaker could produce 50% louder sound for the same volume. Maybe just me but i rarely use the speaker anyway
@Vasu Srivastava I mean web development is not heavy on a machine, but color accuracy and keyboard quality might be a concern, look into that
@Vasu Srivastava i haven't tried develop a website using this laptop yet but i can assure to design something is pretty difficult with smaller display. If you have big monitor web development should be solid. for performance, battery is quite slow but plugged in it was decent. Video editing gives smooth playback @ high editing loads so you can refer through that. Oh wait mines last year model not this year btw. RX560X and 4Core ryzen

Hey Dave, I've been subscribed to you for years and just wanna say that you have significantly improved and refined your presentation style so much from the last few years (not like they're bad) but I just feel that I have to mention it. Stay awesome! We look forward to more videos from you!
This review is one of your best. Had me rolling! Thanks Dave
I have the 2019 model and I got a 120Hz screen that I cannot find anywhere apart from my region. This panel is much brighter and color accurate so I haven't had those problems. Interestingly enough, I never thought that the keyboard space would be a problem. I haven't had issues, but I realized that I play a bit more angled compared to how you play. My hand doesn't really go over to the left of the keyboard that much, that or I either have a child's hands lol. I guess I am fine with both of the downsides to this otherwise respectable laptop.
how are the viewing angles on your laptop??
How many nits in ur screen?
@@anas-ahmad. The one with the 120 Hz display last year is a slightly more expensive version (Dave here is reviewing the base variant of this year). Maybe the upper variants have better displays. The Nitro 5 this year also has a upper variant with a 144Hz display and a GTX 1650 Ti

just came across this review. my first foray into gaming laptops was the 2019 edition of the Nitro 5, but holy hell you're so right about the positioning of the WASD keys and trackpad, it took me months to adjust to, and even then it never felt truly comfortable. Thankfully I've moved on to a far better one since then, rocking the latest model of the Blade 15, but just wanted to echo this sentiment that it really was a big issue.

@@sperionixx maybe it's the only gaming laptop he can afford. I can relate coz we here don't have many options for "cheap" gaming laptops.
Honestly a head set and key mapping gets rid of the biggest issues
Got my nitro 5 for a while now, and I'm actually loving it, the nitrosense gave me problems for a few days but after that was resolve it was great. I'm left handed so the fact that the keys are shifted to the left was a great thing, specially the touchpad, most laptops have their touchpads either to the center or the right, so having a left sided touch pad makes it easier for me to use

Dave has 2.8m subs, don’t think he’s underrated. MKBHD is popular because he started youtube at a young age. And he’s black, so there are people “supporting black people” you know that crap.

I've watched many of your reviews and I like the clarity and your straight-to-the-point style. I've noticed that before spending a lot of money on a good laptop it's better to do ample research. I just bought a Pavilion x360 14in and I love it but I plan on getting a gaming laptop some time by next year. I also noticed that my x360 with only an i5 8250 and UHD 620 graphics plays many games at 720p and on such a small screen the lower resolution is not that noticeable. For serious gaming a have a very well decked-out desktop but it's nice to sometimes sit at the kitchen table and game a bit. I use a Redragon K585 DITI and a wireless Logitech M570 Trackball mouse. Thanks for sharing such good reviews.

ESDF is a good alternative
i picked one up a few days ago and im loving this thing i turned off the trackpad and removed bloatware from it im not sure which application it was that had the caps lock notification popping up when you're gaming and pressing the caps lock but it removing bloatware helped me again i like it it replaces my PS4 at the moment

a couple of years ago i had the choice of going with either a 1050ti nitro 5 or a 1050ti aspire vx 5. i went with the xv 5 because of the cooling solution. now that it's 2020 it's good to see the nitro 5 get the similar fan layout from the vx 5 bc my friend always complained about how hot the cpu and gpu got compared to my laptop.

“Why are we talking about half a centimeter”
Me: That’s what she said
Picked one of these up after watching this review this morning. (Got mine at Best Buy for $669). Here's some thoughts coming from one of the first gen Nitro users. Replacing my i5 7300HQ/GTX 1050 4GB Nitro 5 with the poor cooling, Dave is right that this machine stays way cooler and doesn't throttle like the old model does. Keyboard: I have stupid-large hands and it feels fine, cramped sure, but since my fingers are so long anyway I'm used to the "claw grip" in order for my thumb to reach the space bar anyway. Screen: Less light bleed through than my old model by a lot, but it's still there. 60Hz should be fine. One thing Dave didn't mention here is there's no SD card slot - Kinda a bummer for content creators. The USB Type-C is not DisplayPort/Display Out.
The performance of this machine is great. This will be my second Nitro since the first one held up. Resale value is surprisingly strong so there's that going for it too. Unit and power brick are noticeably lighter in weight and size than my old Nitro, but it's still no ultrabook. 8GB of RAM is not enough. With the reservation for the AMD Radeon onboard graphics you're left with 7.5GB of usable RAM. This becomes a great buy with some upgrades. If you invest another $100 into this by adding a 500GB 2.5" SSD as well as another DDR4 3200 8GB stick, there's not much that's going to slow this thing down.
I have an older Acer nitro 5 as well. If you don't mind me asking, how much did you get for the older nitro 5 that you sold.
I am asking cos I was thinking selling mine as well.
@@romisebastian7394 I still need to wipe mine before I list it, but mine has a 1TB hard drive and 16GB of RAM installed as well. From what I saw on eBay my model with those upgrades sells for about ~$475 and that's about what it would go for on Craigslist as well. So for me paying ~$200 for a new machine is worth it.
@@aeroraccoon4167 Ah, certainly worth it!.
Thanks man.
I’ma be honest i didn’t read the comment just saw you had it and if I wanted to hook up the laptop to a 144 hz monitor could I do that and get those kind of frames
How is the display brightness?
"We need brighter screen to see enemies"
Thank you for your recommendation. I can actually recommend this to friends who don't want to spend to much money on a high performing laptop.
Your work is a gift to consumers. As a more creativity oriented user, it would be super to hear your thoughts on the Asus ProArt series.
Laptop designer after hours of work: This touch of red is my master piece to lure in budget gamers out there !

Yeah i dunno y he doesn't like it. It looks way cooler than just plain black
lmao. he has a point tho, more expensive models usually get the better designs.
@@abhinandnandakumar9890, that is the thing. it is "too cool". Many people do not want to show that they are playing games. Especially if they are taking laptops to journeys or even work with them. It is too "flashy" and attracts too much attention.

go to settings and tweak your contrast and saturation until you are satisfied. It should theoretically help a bit with your brightness issue
very solid review as usual!
Just to clarify on the speakers… you mean they're crap, right? xD
Definitely not great and a bit quiet, but they get the job done.
I'm kinda curious where do you find those wallpapers 🤔 :)
I have it with a Ryzen 5 3550 GTX1650 8GB with 256GB+1TB with 120hz screen and its working wonders, typing with the smaller right shift did need a little bit of getting used to but overall the performance for price is awesome, it's my first gaming pc and I'm not regretting buying it.

What mouse were you using during the Overwatch clip at 1:20? It looks like a Model O or a Model D but its wireless.
Wow, three drive bays. That's a great selling feature for creators that need a lot of onboard storage. Also a great way to reuse that SATA drive however, I would only put an SSD 2.5" in there not a real HD, just to keep down the heat and noise and for speed. You may even be able to use one of those adapters that go from SATA 2.5" to two m.2 slots and get 4 drives in the thing. No soldered on RAM so both slots are available, even the WiFi is upgradable. They did good with the internal layout.

Hi Dave, a little late reaction to your review on the Acer Nitro 5. I think you made some good points regarding the screen and the keyboard deck and the speakers. I am considering buying this 2020 AMD Ryzen 5 model for 2D game development and for playing RTS games on the side like Age of Empires 2 Halo Wars 2 etc. So these flaws are not a big deal breaker for me personally as long as this laptop is capable of running 2D design programs and adobe photoshop, unity etc. I play the big shooters on my Xbox series S ( btw I bought on your recommendation video so thank u for that , amazing machine for 300 bucks). I hope ur channel will keep growing and I subscribed to your channel to support your excellent content. Keep these videos and reviews coming.
I have the 2019 model of this machine (i5-9300H, GTX 1050 3gb and 8gb ram). It's a really nice laptop and what Dave says about the keyboard hasn't bothered me tbh. The only thing I don't like is the screen. I am a photographer and the colors aren't the most accurate, making my work a bit harder when I'm not at home and don't have my monitor with me.
I have the 2019 ryzen 5 3550h + GTX 1650..
Let me tell you that thing is a beast ...
You can run games just from the vega 8 integrated graphics (sadly the 4th gen doesn't have that much powerful integrated graphics)..
Acer has saved me a ton of money ...
And the keyboard and display are drawback...but who wants a good keyboard when all the modern games can hit sweet 60FPS
Thermals are great ...but don't make a mistake to buy intel processor those things run hot ...

When you just bought the 2019 model...........
True XD
But I got a 9300h with a 1660ti and a 1tb ssd WITH a 144 hz screen for like a $700 in India. I wasn't gonna get that good a deal for literally anywhere close to that price.
@@sagniksarkar2471 dude how ? What website and did you buy it in sale? I really want a 1660ti but trying to stay under ₹70k
Sagnik Sarkar kis site pe thi ye offer bhai
@@yogensachdev I too have the same question
I bought mine for about 1000$ in the philippines. Same specs, 9300h with gtx1660ti and 1tb ssd. I think i got ripped.
You should do videos on laptop problems. For example I own a Dell G3 15 3590 and the chassis has a design flaw that causes the hinge cover and eventually the whole hinge to come apart as you open and close it.
I'd call this a fair review, and I haven't even seen it all. I love the performance for price but there are some odd choices. Yes, the trackpad location is weird, the keyboard is... it's fine... and the screen is, well... it's better in some ways than my desktop screen that I have plugged into the HDMI port. The Nitro 5's screen has better color performance, while my Samsung C24F390 but it's just not as bright. I'm pretty happy with my choice, since I use the system docked, so the keyboard and mouse aren't quite as hard a miss. Thank you for the good review, Dave!
When i rewatch Dave Nitro 5 review 2 years ago, it got a lot of dislikes. 😂
Bima Eko Saputra Because he was comparing a $800 - $900 gaming laptop with a $1200 - $1400 one.
cuz the 2017 nitro 5 was hot trash
Dave Lee The thermals were bad on that device; this looks like they copied the Helios 2019 / 2020 thermal design!
@@Dave2D you have absolutely zero chill dave *pun xd*
@@cameronbosch1213 i don't think so he did that
What did that red accent do to you Dave? 😭😭😭 the amount of shade from the keyboard, accent, and speakers 😂
Thx man and I fine with they keyboard because I have a old external keyboard and I think I'll be fine with the screen because I honestly just want to make content and play with friends.
i have the 2019 model, and I always turn my touchpad off and use mouse instead. it is awkwardly close to WASD. But it has best value for money, and the performance is satisfying.
How about thermal and fan noise??does it good?
Dave: Now I want to close off this conversation
5:42 *Closes laptop screen*
Nice timing Dave 😂👌🏻
noticed that too. Good body language skills
Can you compare this with the predator helios 2019?
Definitely predator Helios, excellent thermals, nice screen, good keyboard, more expensive but way better
if you have budget for helios 2019 go for it...it's amazing
No way
predator Helios is better no question not saying this laptop is bad tho
bat kisses yeah go check it in my channel regarding. The helios 300
I use a controller for most of my games, so the keyboard won't bother me much. Definitely going to pick up this unit.
Tbh, i have big hands and the same laptop. I binded''ESDF'' to replace ''WASD'' and it works perfectly. Plus, i maintein other keybinds for every game separately and i have 0 problems :D
