I recently ordered the Acer Nitro 17 Gaming Laptop and let me tell you, this machine is an absolute beast! From its impressive specifications to its stunning display, it has exceeded all my expectations. If youre a serious gamer looking for a top-tier gaming laptop, the Acer Nitro 17 should more than meet your needs.

Has everything it should, except it came with Windows 11, not 10, a huge kick in the gut

I will make this plain and simple. For those of you who are looking for something where you can just get right into gaming with high/ultra settings with great FPS without breaking the bank then this is the laptop for you. Very fast boot times, very little bloatware and easy to set up. This thing will run all of your games either on high or ultra settings by default if that is what you prefer. I recommend buying a cooling pad preferably the one from kootec. I have no issue with temps at all. The cooling pad keeps things cool. But overall the performance this thing delivers for its price is awesome.

This laptop is an absolute Beast, it has amazing specifications, so there’s no point in going over that here. Anyone looking at these reviews is very serious and already knows what they are looking for. I can only go into what I feel is most important to me and I’m not a big gamer. I know, (not a gamer? What are you doing with this machine?) and I have a logical answer which is I am an amateur photographer and videographer with a high end digital camera for photos and videos plus a 4K video drone quadcopter (still learning, there’s a lot to learn here). This laptop is my photo and video dream machine, it can handle anything I need to do effortlessly and it has the speed and performance necessary to render effectively. Always wanted a machine for my photography needs and this one makes it. It offers excellent performance and has great battery life, making it ideal for gaming, photography and everyday use. It also has an impressive array of ports, allowing you to easily connect a variety of external devices and access your files and media quickly. It’s a little heavy, but that is to be expected with a computer of this caliber. The keyboard feel is better than any laptop I have had before and the backlit keys are very much appreciated. I have had computers with backlit keyboards, but this one really works well, I can see the keys from any angle easily.

Purchased this as a work computer to use with zbrush modeling software and it was quickly confiscated by my son. lol. His desktop was getting dated and the fact that this laptop seems to have a more current CPU, GPU and such really got him excited. Once he tried it he fell in love and all the current games are playing for him at full graphical settings. Set it up with an accompanying Acer Predator gaming monitor and it runs even better. Very happy with the purchase and quality of the setup.

My son is into minecraft and a few other desktop games and this fit the bill. While its no $2500+ desktop gaming rig, it is perfect for our needs. It is a lot bigger than I thought based on the photos. It is solid too. I set him up on his desk with an extra monitor and hes as happy as can be. Should bring plenty of years of joy.

Dusted off my keyboard and 1 key came off. Called warranty department to submit a claim and they would not cover.

Ive had this laptop for a little over a month now, and it runs really well. Fans are a little loud and I could see scenarios where it could get a little hot if it cant ventilate effectively. It handles virtually everything Ive thrown at it from office work, college stuff, to high end games on max settings.

It ran games like New World at max settings just fine. Problem is three months in and the GPU started having a critical hardware failure rendering it useless and causing the system to default to the processors Radeon GPU. Specific failure was listed as error 43 in the Windows device manager. Even after fully removing and reinstalling drivers and the operating system the failure still exists which is a sure sign of a physical issue. Thankfully I was within 90 days off purchase and Amazon allowed a return saving me from a $1600 loss. Ive had an Acer Predator helios 300 that had worked for over 5 years no issue so Im not sure if this is a one off occurrence, but buyer beware.

Plugged in the adapter and pressed the power button. Nothing. Total DOA. This is not one of those things. Its a total lack of quality control. Before you put it in the box. Push the button and turn it on. I worked in IT for ten years and after hundreds of units ordered I never had a DOA Apple or Dell.
