Title: 700$
Reality: 600$
Is this reverse clickbait ?
The price went up right before release so we didn’t have time to edit out the $600 price we said in the video.
@@ToastyBros aha some guys don't take it **dumps**: clickbait is clickbait
Desi Car Guy PK No, it’s a miracle.
the price in UK is 750£ now fukin joke

I have been shopping for a Gaming laptop, I'm a over the road truck driver and I think this laptop is the one thanks for the review.
Israel Perez I bet you play truck driving sinulator right?
@@m.zahiruddinmohhar6492 Im not gonna lie to you, i do have trucking simulator but i got so burnt out working so much, so i stuck with the real truck driving lol
It's a good laptop for the size and price point. Try and get the one with the 16gb of ram since multiple users have had issues trying to upgrade the ram themselves and the PC not working afterwards. Also, I have one with the Intel processor but I've heard the AMD versions are more user friendly.
@@PeterTX Is it because they put the wrong RAM? the frequency and latency matters.
The lack of the dual channel advantage in the 16gb version might be a bit of a problem, it is a single 16gb stick.
Wait for the 2020 version
When you realize you wasted money on a macbook
Melbourne Smith I really think that the acer is better than MacBook since the MacBook you can’t play any games but this one ir really good for someone who wants a laptop for gaming and not spending 4K on a Alienware I decided that I’m getting a acer laptop is really good and a good price I already have a PS4 and don’t need a pc the acer is really good for me enough
@@angelguttierrez6500 My Mac actually has good specs. Im playing Grid 2 720p 60 fps, and I also installed windows on it and it is playing some good games fairly. The Macs are not bad.
@@xianjinn yeah i know that for sure. But I was just saying it's not that bad for gaming
macbook is for content creation and for work, but youre right this laptop can also do what macbook does and also play games too but i would still prefer macbook if i focus more on content creation.
@@LilJimmyy I agree
the nitro is insane value for a gaming laptop...
never thought you would review it but i am glad you did

I have the Acer Nitro 5. It's work's really well. and with almost all of my games. I really like it. I recommend it as a gaming laptop.
Which games do you Play? It is possible to Play minecraft or cod?
Aiman I saw someone test games on the nitro 5 on another channel, games like battlefield 1 ran fine, so I’d assume that cod would work okay.
@@AicanLPMinecraft yes. i just bought it like 2 weeks ago or 3 and it will work on cod and minecraft and most of the popular games at medium if u want good fps
@@dominicespinoza1540 how much FPS does it get on minecraft my normal laptop gets about 40 - 110 FPS on the lowest settings
ever tried to run rust or gta 5 on it ?
I have this same setup, open box $479. Added another 8GB ($29) stick of RAM, replaced the 1TB HDD with 1TB M.2 ($90), replaced thermal paste ($9.99), used XTU to undervolt (-110) stable, getting 80+ FPS on most games, high settings, temps crispy 75c
Nice review, prolly gonna buy this:)
Thank you. I've been on the fence on which gaming laptop I could get within my budget. This is the one. Sith red is my color. 😉
I was looking for a budget laptop and came across this channel, thanks for the recommendation
I bought this exact laptop back in August. It works really well for my school work and light gaming that I did. It is fairly loud with the fans too, sounds like an airplane sometimes. However I've had an issue with putting it to sleep where is wont display past the Acer logo.

@@SuperJbohn thx
@@delightfn5981 how much cost?
I've had this laptop for well over a year now. Nothing but great things to say about this little powerhouse. This thing will run anything you throw at it respectively and yes for a lot of games you'll have to adjust the settings to get the perfect fps. I've played, Assassins's Creed Oddessy, Mordhau, BF4, BF5, Titanfall 2, Red Dead Redemption 2, Warframe, Half Life Alyx, and tons of VR Games with little to no problems. I keep an eye on my temps and this laptop has DECENT cooling however I'd get a cooling pad for it. I've also been editing with this machine and doing some intense work load stuff and this laptop has not disappointed. Due to getting into Virtually Reality lately I decided to upgrade since this laptop isn't capable of running a lot of VR games above 45-60FPS which is where 90FPS is needed. Overall, if you're a casual gamer this should last you a good 2-3 years easy.
Helped so much
I've been looking for a affordable gaming laptop for a bit now since I have a lot of friends for play games on pc I can't really play games with being like the only one without computer a and this looks like a great affordable option thank you for making this review!
What mouse were you guys using for the tests? Great vid!
It's a great laptop! I bought this laptop to do some competitive-semicasual gaming and it's a beast (once you upgrade it to 16 gb of RAM and you get a bigger ssd). Also, this PC is insanely overclockable! You can get the same performance the nitro 7 has with some afterburner curve OC settings and a lot of models monitors are overclockable up to 95 hz. Really nice
Amazing Sp can you send me a link to a video showing me how to do what you have described in this comment. My nitro 5 arrives in a week or so and I’d like to get the most out of it
@@coreyg670 Install MSI Afterburner and use the Overclock Finder (I don't know the actual name) but is the button on the left up corner of the app. Then, to overclock the monitor to 90hz I installed CRU and in the display settings I changed the normal 60hz for 90. No overheating problems so far, so I recommend it.
Mine comes in tomorrow and I can't wait. I'm new to gaming like this. Would you recommend removing the 8g and put in 16b or add another 8g?
thanck you so much i didnt thinck i would get a gaming laptop this cheap
Very nice lil laptop.Wouldnt mind using it for school and light gaming.Are you guys gonna do a high-end build with the 3950x Matt won at CES?
i had got this laptop on black friday it runs all my pc games really good

I have had the 17” GTX 1650 version since July 2019 and I am very happy and satisfied with it.

Sebastián Muñoz Congratulations! Hope you like it.
Can it run the more high end games? I'm wanting a more affordable laptop to be able to play Cyberpunk 2077 when it comes out
@@MrFredsttI'm sure it will run it in medium to high settings at 40-60fps
Watch some videos testing some AAA titles
Just bought a 15.6” model for $520! Can’t wait!
Very Good Video guys
I got mine Black November refurbed from acer direct for $599 and it was so worth it. I have been playing BL3 and RDR2 at respectable settings in the 50-60 fps range. The WASD are right above the processor and thus get rather warm when gaming but that is so far the only issue I have found with it and that can be slightly mitigated with a decent laptop cooler.
Do you think it can handle DC universe online, Minecraft, and just every day office type work along with photoshop/ animating software and graphic design?😁
@@phillipmwenelupembe3147 pretty much anything can run Minecraft now
Dc universe doesn’t take much to run
How is it now? I feel like buying this one, does is still perform as well?
Nice laptop! I look forward to the days when you can game on just the battery for hours.
Tbh I'm sure its gonna happen soon

i can build a rig for 600 and i would get more fps to be honest ? xD
@@houra1094 that's true, tbh the best deal I ever got was a x58 Mobo with an i7 920, 12GB of ram, 2TB of hdd, 1000W psu and a gtx 770 2GB for 45€, there was a big ass noctua cooler on it and I've overclocked the i7 to 4.3GHz which made it perform equal ti an i7 3770, basically the best 45€ you can ever spend
@@houra1094 Well, you just compared laptop to PC inadequately. The main purpose of laptop is to provide portability and instant work access anywhere. Do you carry external monitor, keyboard, mouse and rig itself everywhere you go? No, that's where laptops interfere. The biggest disadvantage is forgetting the fact that you can't seriously upgrade it unless you have experience with extreme modding. On price/performance basis this laptop is quite good, because a handful of years ago a good gaming laptops (recall Alienware?) would cost you a whopping 2000$ for base model and lower end used to offer HD graphics or other iGPUs.
@@seventhtaco6781 I agree with you Im juss saying if you want to get into serious permanent gaming it would be better to get a pc because I know people who buy laptops for more money because they think they are better but I deffenetly agree with you and the use of a laptop.

i’m new too and i’m looking to get this computer. so did u pick these parts on their website or how did u get that build
The time my version of the acer nitro 5 laptop came out, which was released in Australia in 2019, it was around $2500AUD (Australian dollars), approximately $1700USD. I know I know, Australia is expensive 😂. But one of our retailers had a sale and this acer nitro 5 was only now selling for $2000AUD ($1390USD). For this price range and the specs for this laptop, it was a no brainer so I bought it.
Usually laptops around the $2000AUD in our country come with 8gb ram or gtx 1650, sometimes it even has Intel i5. So when this was on special and it had these specs, it was basically a steal.
Hope that helped guys!

Alberto Trigos Bueno I get 200-300fps on csgo, 140+ on overwatch, mostly esports titles, on other games, 70-90fps is fine because it'll still look better than a 60hz
@@axxdrian 70-90 can't feel good at all unless you have gsync, judder is far more important than raw framerate
Great that manufacturers don't skim on injecting some sufficient boosts into laptop scenery. For one I won't fully transition to laptops, but if they continue to develop sufficient bang for buck experience in the coming years I might as well acquire one.

Great video bro I’m a broke high school student in my junior year and I’m thinking of buying a gaming laptop because playing on console is getting a little boring plus I really wanted to play TF2 (Team Fortress 2) one of my favorite game but my older brother move out and took his pc so I’m stuck with my ps4. I was thinking of getting a job over the summer and wanted to see the things I could buy, one of them just so happens to be a gaming laptop because it takes less space and can easily be stored or should I just save for a pc? It takes a lot of space which is a down side to it. It definitely not cheap (don’t know if I should build one or just buy a brand) and I’m a hardcore gamer boy so I kinda just play video games on my free time. Pls respond and help me out lol.
Im in the same situation im going to wait until I'm older to get a pc like when i move out and get a stable job.
I am also a Junior who got a job to buy a new laptop to play Tf2 (and Valorant) on because my brother took his desktop to college lol
