I love what acer did with upgrading the budget nitro 5 to be much more like midrange laptops and giving that huge high-end upgrade to the helios 300
But the price went up as hell and its not Worth it.
Yea.... some upgrade with a display that STILL has 43% color-accuracy. No thank you. By comparison Lenovo's Legion 5 series has had 100% sRGB since 2017.
@@lars2894 i guess they don't focus on display much since it's gaming laptop
Legion is on league of its own
Im da best pc ever made
@@lars2894my acer nitro 5 has 99% sRGB and 165hz screen.
I7 12700H and RTX 3070
@Jarrod, regarding the Type-C Power Delivery, it is actually 65W. The 15W (5V 3A) is actually USB Charging output by that port if you connect any mobile device like Phone or Tablet.
compared to the old bad version of nitro, this 2022 version is almost like a whole different line of laptop
better fan, 3 possible hdd slot, different port positions, whole lot better lighting on the keyboard than the only red light
waiting to see how much it will be priced in my country.
thanks for the info as always
Your reviews are consistently great. Your review on the MSI Delta 15 from a little while ago convinced me to pick one up on sale for $1099. Cheers!
Glad you like them!
@Your missing father when there’s no way.
USD?
Thank you for such a thorough testing process. You even throw in Linux testing which is super useful
I own the 2017 version of this laptop I think. It's super interesting to see how the newer versions have progressed I enjoy watching your reviews as always. I have owned a 3080 desktop I built for a couple years now so I don't game on the laptop as often anymore but use it a ton for school. I'll have to get a new laptop someday when it eventually likely breaks but it's still holding up strong for now, love keeping up with how the newer laptops are improving
I have the same model too the amd one ! still working decently today
Same here, running an intel version and when I bought it I tried to plan for a laptop to last atleast 3-4 years before I had to consider a new laptop. It's now been 5 years and I'm back in the market even though my 2017 laptop is still running strong. I think I could run easy games like Rocket League, Minecraft etc. on it for atleast another 2-3 years before I start seeing hardware issues. Acer is killing it with Nitro laptops imo... I'm really interested in the 2022 Acer Nitro 5 with i7-12700H and RTX 3070ti...
@@UshTheGreat yeah no kidding! I am using a stronger desktop now so I won't be needing a new laptop anytime soon but it's still going strong and I will probably use it for years to come especially on trips and for school work it's so nice
@@codmwtf8423acer nitro 5 is popular than others 😎😎😎😎😎
I love the time and effort you put in all of your reviews, great work!
So I know it would be a lot of work but it would be amazing to be ables to see a small conclusion of the reviews of all the laptop deals on your website so you can see how good of a deal it actually is
thank you so much for making these videos. i spent the last few days trying to figure out what laptop to buy and your videos have helped immensely with how in depth and methodical they are. i really appreciate it, you can really tell how much work you put into them.
i wish you all the best, thanks again
What laptop did you decide to go with? I’m searching for one too
I bought an acre nitro 5 last year, and I’m playing cod mw2, bf 2042, cyberpunk, fallout 76 and many other games with no issues.
Option: 2022 seems to be a year of redemption for laptop manufacturers.
A few examples:
Asus with including MUX switches with all their laptops this year. Improving the TUF lineup.
Acer noticeably improving their lineup, particularly the Helios 300.
Lenovo solving their Corsair iCue battery drain issues.
Dell actually fixing issues with their G15 through updates!!!!!
And most importantly, Jarrod's Tech reviews getting even better as time goes by even though they were excellent at the start of 2022!
Aaaaannnddd the Victus has a companion!!!

Hi Jarrod, i am thnking to buy a new gaming laptop next year so do you have an idea about the release of the the rtx 4000 series and Intel 13th mobile chips or should I just buy this current 12th gen rtx 30 series laptop
Literally just ordered the laptop yesterday - was watching all reviews couldn’t find a Jarred one. Finally 😃
Just wondering how has the laptop been after 1 year. FPS is still smooth and crispy?
@@CounterRealHamooddid u got the laptop? I want to buy it and idk yet
@@gheorghemironica444 did u get it also
How is it?
This is a great review, i will go for this one tomorrow if im lucky, as latest when i get my salary the first week of November.
Seems like the best budget choise to be able to play some good old games and at the same time enjoy the speed of 16gb ram in other processes im using it for.
Hi Jarod. In 3:50 you mentioned you could use gsync via hdmi cable but are you connecting to a 2.1 port tv or 2.1 port monitor ?
I'm not even that interested in gaming Laptops but I love your channel so here I am
Love the video! Btw will you update the Asus Flow x16? I haven't seen you review the retail version of it yet :)
It's up now! ua-cam.com/video/l28QxLqNmbs/v-deo.html
Thank you for mentioning about the off button!! I thought I was the only one bothered by it 😅
will using the type c to display (without turning off optimus and just switching display to only external monitor) use discrete gpu and get more performance like other laptops?
Your reviews are consistently great! Thx 😁
I got this for Christmas and I used it for the first time today and it's so good, I can't wait to see it's true potential because I haven't had a new laptop in like 5 years so getting a gaming laptop like this is so refreshing.
you open on christmas eve? anyway its nice to know you got a good one yes you did. You can play all game but to ad it you do also need mouse instead of using that trackpad.
Helping you out without a mouse is useless to play game unless if you have a controller ps4 xbox, you then can hook that bluetooth pair.

Hey Jarrod what's the best alternate options for the i5 version of the Nitro 5 ?
Hi Jarrod, thannks for the review. i was wondering if you can tell me how can we know what wattage TGP we got in range from 125-140w? Also i saw that new Acer Nitro is coming with same chasis i7 12700h with ddr5 ram and rtx4060 apart from the whole new Nitro which is coming with upgraded chasis,new logo and i7 13gen cpu?
Bought an i5 12500h believe. Good gaming laptop. Didn't feel too cheap compared to the Zephyrus g14 that I got before. Comes with a 3050ti and 16 gigs of ram.
I believe its an *i7* 12700h, not an i5.
@@timytimotius4679 i don't believe that, cuz i5 models are available with 3050ti
@@piedepewi5 model series is i5 12500h not 12700h, yes there is i5 option for this laptop
What's the battery life like?
There may be better laptops on the market atm. But if you find a solid deal, then it's a good introduction gaming laptop. It is on the bigger side, though
That ~20W CPU cap while the GPU is in use will cost big time in apps like Blender, Maya, Cinema 4D, etc. The display might not be ideal for photo or video editing, but it’s fine for everyday gaming.
A display with low colour gamut, low brightness, very slow response time, no g-sync nor adaptive sync/freesync; on a laptop that’s over $1300 just makes very little sense in the current market.
It really does. I've seen this configuration on sale as low as 1199 on Amazon, which is much more reasonable.
Can the screen be calibrated though or that’s just how the panel is from the factory and there’s no other way around it? Other than just buying another laptop with a better screen.. Currently own an msi with i7 7th gen and it’s lacking the performance I need for photo and video editing and was thinking about cheaper laptops with i7 12700h. My msi has a 1080p 120hz screen factory calibrated so I can use it for photo editing at least.
@@Super01041994 unfortunately, the screen can’t be calibrated to increase the colour accuracy, that’s just how it is from the factory. You can connect a much better external monitor but they still cost quite a bit
@@alun1038 Then I think I'm going for another brand which has a calibrated screen with 100% srgb as I want to edit from my laptop so an external screen is out of the question for now. Thanks for clarification
Jarrod ,would you suggest legion 5 pro for content creation ? I’m looking for a notebook that has a beautiful screen but I also play games when I’m free .
Hi Jarrod, Can you please include performance comparison of laptops while using RF simulation tools like CST studio suite, HFSS etc. please. That will be a big help for enthusiasts like me.
I just got a Nitro 5 AN515-58-79A5 at Micro Center for $1,100 when originally $1,800. Specs i7 12th Gen 12700H 1.7GHz Processor; NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 8GB GDDR6; 32GB DDR4-3200 RAM; 1TB Solid State Drive with 1080p 165Hz screen. I think I got myself a steal for the price!

Nice Amon Amarth shirt!
Hey there!
Thanks for sharing your detailed review of Acer's Nitro 5 gaming laptop. It's great to see all the improvements they've made this year, especially with the addition of a MUX switch and higher GPU power limits. The increased performance compared to last year's model is definitely a plus, and the option for a 1440p 165Hz screen sounds promising for those looking for a better display.
I also appreciate the information on battery life and the suggestion to consider the Ryzen 6000 configuration for better battery performance. The loud fans and the screen wobbling could be minor inconveniences for some users, but overall, it seems like a solid gaming laptop option.
The pricing and availability details you provided are helpful, although it's a bit disappointing to see the current price increase compared to last year's model. It's good to know that the Helios 300 with similar specs is available at a similar price point, which gives consumers more choices.
Once again, thanks for the thorough review and for keeping us informed about the latest gaming laptops. Your insights are always valuable!
Cheers!
Chat-GPT?
Isn't the Asus Tuf a budget laptop too? How would this year's Tuf compare to this Nitro 5? And while I'm on it, how would the Helios compare against the 5 Pro?
4:27 idk about the other regions, but in my region, the AMD options (Ryzen 7 6800H, RTX 3050Ti/3060) don't come with the screws and cables for the HDD. Only Intel options have them, even though Acer website clearly stated that both AMD and Intel options support up to 2TB HDD
thank you for the review, this is amazing. You are amazing at what you do
is Nitro 5 AN515-58-78EN i7 is a good option for programming and mid gaming?? what specific model the one that is being reviewed.. there's a lot of version I'm lost
WOW! Very detailed explanation. I love it.
Glad you liked it!
and here i am sitting with 11th gen model, should've waited for this one man
I have the 2020 version, it’s holding up very strongly, performs well. Runs all the games I play. I upgraded my ram and games run amazing on it now. I know I want to upgrade to something better at some point, it will probably be another nitro 5. I’m running the 17” 1660TI. Looking at storage upgrades now.
hey im interested on buying this laptop. what can you say about the body of the laptop being plastic? and does it easily heat up when playing games?
Does it have 6GB VRAM?
@@cedrickbote5441 I just purchased this laptop today, it runs very hot. I am going to try a cooling tray before deciding it ai am going to keep it or not. The HP I had did not heat up near as much.

Yo @Jarrod'sTech , can you do a review of Alienware m17 R5 (6850m xt) cause they got the first smart access graphics (mux switch of an avantage laptop) Thanks mate.
The design looks a lot more cleaner and sleek compared to the old one that resembled a car
good review, ive been wanting a gaming laptop. I might plan to save up for this thanks!
Glad I could help!
I have had laptops for a lifetime. Mostly, the battery life is the first to deteriorate. My 2017 4 year old Acer Nitro 5 screen flickered beyond recognition ahead of its battery. I was really frustrated.
As a owner of this laptop as a first PC I think it’s honestly a great computer for what it is but I don’t find the keyboard flimsy and you can stop the screen from wobbling by buying a monitor (kinda a no-brainer)
It really depends on how you're using the laptop. A monitor is only going to help if you don't intend on using the laptop as a laptop at all.
hows the typing experience? is it tactile and comfortable with good travel distance?
Quiet mode looking great. 82% of the performance for 18dB less of noise (e.i. 3.5x less perceived noise, i think)
The issue of laptop heating is easy to solve, you just have to go in Power settings and there you will find performance options for various modes of "Acer Nitro Sense" Reduce a little bit, In normal mode I have reduced the maximum power up to 80%, it is more than enough to edit videos etc.. At maximum performance I have the maximum energy limit up to 90%, this means the computer doesn't heat up as much, I can play heavy games without problems just at 70 degrees.
@@mrwickptOr even better (for casual use), just use Throttlestop and disable turbo.
No time wasted and professionally explained. Love it
Can you do a gaming bench mark on the legion 7 gen 7 and with the 6850xt ?theres almost zero reviews on it and when it comes in stock I never know to buy it or not
@jarred, maybe youve explained this somewhere but, whats faster, ryzen 9hx or intel 9 hx?
ive seen a computer shop website that says i9 has the base cpu speed of 1.9 with boosting up to 3.2 and the ryzen has the base cpu speed at 3.2 with boosting up to 4.9.
but the intel i9 has more cores and threads. also im on a webpage right now that says the base speed for i9 is 3.2 with boosting up to 5.2 and the ryzen has a base speed of 3.3 with boosting up to 5.
so. . . ?
currently intel is leading due to its new gen 12 has more cores which is P and E cores in it
do you have to pay extra to be able to change the color on the keyboard?
amazing laptop been using for couple of months now
I am still happy with my Nitro 5 2019 model. The 2022 model has not changed much from 2019 ones in designe, except some ports were mounted on the back side and, of course, better hardware. What I like in NItro 5 laptops is the cooling design that allows the machine to stay quite silent and not too hot during gaming unlike other budget-friendly machines + the best upgradability in its class (two slots for RAM; two m.2 slots + one 2.5 slots + possibility to upgrade WiFi card)
Hi can I know the spec of your nitro 5? does it face any big problem in these 2 years?
Legion is better with thermals and quieter
@@youtubecommenter8532 isnt it like a lot more expensive
having a 2.5 slot is nice
@@blinkreveluvies3675 Hi, the laptop has i5-8300h, GTX 1050 (3GB), 16 GB RAM (I added 8 GB by myself), and 2.5 TB SSD (2 TB added). I use the laptop every day for my work (light office applications), video editing (Davinci Resolve), and some gaming despite the GPU being quite weak by today's standard. However, It surprisingly allows me to play some relatively new games in medium/high preset in the range of 30-60 fps (RE 7 - up to 60 fps, newest Tomb Raired - up to 45 fps, etc) and older titles in the highest preset and 60+ fps (Bioshock collection, The Evil Within, DOOM 2016, etc.), which is a big step up compared to my Xbox one and PS4. Regarding the issues with the laptop - no problems were detected during almost 3 years of everyday use. Also, the battery still holds for 3+hours of light usage (office work, web browsing, etc)
Hi there, are both left side and right side vents exhaust? And do they blow air equally on max fan speed? Mine blows little air on the right side compared to the left side. Mine is model AN515-46-R5WJ
I waited this video for a long time, thank you so much ! As a student I’m very happy to can buy a good i5-12500h + rtx 3060 version laptop config for 999€. I will upgrade the ram to 2x32gb 2933mhz cl19 for 200€ more.
I was searching for acer nitro 5 core i5 8th gen review and Jarrod upload the newest nitro 5
This might be the laptop I'm looking for! I want a laptop that can drive an external monitor without having to power on the dedicated GPU. Is this the same with the Ryzen 7 6800H model?
YES JUST WHAT I NEEDED THANK YOU JARROD
A laptop like this is a gaming workhorse, you don't need to treat it like a fancy macbook so you don't need microfiber cloth.
would it work good for video editing on a budget?
I picked one up from micro center about a month ago and in nitrosense i have an option called “lcd overdrive” i wonder if they got their hands on some custom models or something?
Got the 17.3 inch. Very impressed for the money.
This guy pointing towards laptop always gets me. 😂
Hi do you know if the DDR is upgradeable, or is it soldered in the motherboard?
Hey what are your thoughts on the 3070ti model?
Finally ! I’ve been waiting for this one
Should I go for Acer Nitro 5 or HP Victus 16? Both will be i5 12500h and RTX3050
is it possible to upgrade the battery size if you take the 2.5" drive bay out?
had mine for about a year as seen in my profile and its just perfect literally what im typing on rn
Man, the New Predator helios 300 (2022) is a beast!
An Acer nitro 5 AN515-58 2022 model compared to MSI pulse GL66 2021 model, which should I go for?
Here's hoping this nitro goes the same way the 2022 helios did, and brings about decent improvements
I have a acer nitro 5 an517-55-54bd with i5 12450h and a rtx 4050 2022 model. Its look´s like the same you show on this video. And i love it.
in my country, the 2022 ideapad gaming 3i 165hz (same spec with this nitro 5) costs around the same with this nitro 5. which one should i buy?
0:19 SOME FLEX?? THATS A WHOLE 90 DEGREE BEND
Will you be revisiting the high end spec and lenovo legion 7 from 2022?
Yeah, do more Acer laptops mann!
Killer Amon Amarth shirt just now realizing it helpful video though
This model or Lenovo leigon 5 rtx 3060 i7 11800h ? Which one would you prefer ?
hopefully it gets released soon here in PH, planning to swap, though my Nitro 5 is i5-11400H rtx 3060, don't know if it will be any good or just go for a higher one. LOL
Finally a budget machine. I do consider the Nitro to be the best low tier options for gaming. Not bad for what it's worth but yeah that $1600 price tag for higher config is not worth it. Better hope it comes down in deals soon.
Probably will for black Friday or Christmas
I just ordered the Acer Nitro 5 with Ryzen 5600H, 95w RTX 3011053060, 8gb 3200mhz RAM, 144hz 1080p display, and 512gb nvme ssd for $650 during black Friday. It's going to be a giant leap from the HP with Ryzen 5500u integrated graphics I've been using. Lol
I am begging you, please reveiew HP Omen (2022)! 🙏
especially the microcenter version seems an extraordinarily good deal!
As always great thorough review 👍👍
Hey Jarrod ^^ I am planning on buying an Alienware m15 R7 with an I7 12th gen and an RTX 3070 TI, will there be a future video on this laptop by any chance? im still not sure if its the best thing out there for now.. Thank u in advance and i would really love to see that video as it will definitely make me make up my mind on it
I just got this exact model a few days ago and I love it! I'm able to play most modern games in ultra with all the bells and whistles on. Also on 1440p. Funny story, the charger came unplugged unbeknownst to me and I was able to play the game on ultra still with only a tiny hit in performance. Really interesting! Would not suggest doing that for long though as the CPU heated up very quickly.
@@seantracy8259 Thanks for the reply Sean ^^ Happy to hear that, i am just not that good with computers, i dont wanna make the wrong decision, especially when this one is quite expensive.. but your comment kinda crushed some doubts i had.. i dont wanna play in 1440p, i just want a beast that wouldnt feel outdated after a couple of years.. yk what im talking about? hopefully Jarrod uploads a video on it in the future, but even if he doesnt.. i think im still gonna get it as soon as i get a chance.. thanks again ^^
Great video 🙌
that microphone sounds great
And today it can be bought new for under $1200 in Australia. Im sure i could spend more but i find gamming laptops seem to be built with some rough play in mind and have some performance behind it, i just bought one and given the most power-hungry thing i do is make models, slice them and print them the nitro 5 is more than enough.
Gaming laptops are getting really amazing. I can’t wait in like 4-5 years for the 6000 series. And see what thats like.
thermals will be terrible lol
Will be overkill lmfao
Iv only got to 4:35 so far but from what iv seen looks ok just wish it was a stronger less flexible plastic most of the hard plastic laps iv had in the past never flexed as bad as that
I have had a nitro 5 AN515-57-5700 for a year and the charging port in the back of it might not be working much anymore. I can almost never charge my laptop and when I do it is still inconvenient and or inconsistent. I tried to take it to a repair shop and they said they couldn't fix it. I am aware of double tap charging and I think that it might actually be the reason it got messed up because it could have been tearing it up with all the clicking every time I plugged it
I just bout the 2022 version of this last week i5 12gen 3060 on a newegg for $850 deal still going on as of this morning. I love it. My first gaming laptop. Go check out new egg its normally 1300
witch is better acer nitro five or asus tuff a fifteen cause iam looking for a good midrang gaming laptop
Whole 900-1200$ laptop segment is dominated by great price/perfomance of asus g15 advantage edition imo. Like whats the point of buing geforce 3060 laptop when you can have 6800m for the same price if not cheaper?
Props for testing with linux too.
Do you know what the colot gamut might be for the 15.6", 1080p, 165hz panel?
Seems like Acer Nitro 5 varies a lot for different countries. I got the following in Feb 2022 :
Nitro AN517-41
17" QHD 165Hz screen
AMD Ryzen 7 5800H 3.20 GHz
32.0 GB
Nvidia 3060
1TB SSD
Don't seem to see this spec being mentioned.
Its been really good for the price and the 3060 is enough gaming on the 17" QHD screen.
Same finding with the cooling as your video, the fans on max, or with coolers don't seem to change the temp and in fact seems a little bit higher by 2-3deg (at least base on the NitroSense software )
It's a 2021 version as far as i can tell, as cpu is 5000 generation
Great and very honest review
asked for this laptop for Christmas, hopefully i get it lol.
Hi Jarrod! Can you teach me how to activate the MUX switch in this laptop?
Hi jorrod, can you review msi gf63 2022 with spec of i7 , rtx 3050 ti? Very appreciate it if you do
Hey Jarrod
I have a question bugging me since the launch of rtx 4000 series
We saw a substantial increase in the GPU prices
How will this effect laptop in the next generation, i mean i don't want to see laptops with rtx 4060 on 1800$ price tag
Ive seen laptops with 3060s with 1500$ price tag soooo
Good news, Nitro 5 3060 i7-12700H in my country use Advanced Optimus + DDR5 and CPU don't capped at 20W :3
i haven't seen too many mobile AMD 6000 gpu on laptops. Are they good mobile gpu or why there is no too much?
How does this laptop compare to the IdeaPad Gaming 3i 2022 ?
asus tuf a15 2022 vs acer nitro 5 2022 I'm so undecided, which one do you think is better?
are theses fully flat when new have put the power pack on it seems dead its anyoing the hell out of me for the price i at lest expect a healthy power pack its been on one hour and noting no fire up are they all like this?
