Acer Nitro 5 AN515-55-53E5 Gaming Laptop | Intel Core i5-10300H | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 GPU | 15.6 FHD 144Hz IPS Display | 8GB DDR4 | 256GB NVMe SSD | Intel Wi-Fi 6 | Backlit Keyboard

Bought this computer and was sent one that was dead on arrival. Filed a complaint and requested a new one, same thing dead on arrival. Terrible quality control, would love to write an actual review for the product but its been over a month and I still have yet to get sent a laptop that turns on.

Para ser una laptop gamer tiene una gran desventaja en cuanto a la duración de la batería. Con un uso normal, la batería de esta computadora dura aproximadamente 3 horas, lo que es bastante bajo en comparación con otras laptops de su categoría. La quiero usar para juegos o modelar en 3D pero siempre tengo que mantenerla conectada y esto resulta muy molesto.

Im generally very pleased by this laptop but there are a few issues worth mentioning:

I was so excited for my new laptop just for it to arrive in perfect condition but not work. Like, at all. It wouldnt charge or turn on.

This little laptop is very good for the price. Only problem is that only has 8gb ram. I highly recommend you to upgrade the ram right away. 8gb ram isnt enough for windows 10/11 these days. 16gb is perfect. But after the upgrade it runs great! Plays games great! Video edits great! And handle FL Studio great! Great little budget laptop if youre willing to upgrade the ram!

I love this laptop, I push my laptop pretty hard, I use Blender, Daz3d and a few other softwares for 3d modeling and rendering. this laptop can handle it pretty well. with blender cycles I could do optiX gpu rendering. in Daz Studio I was able to get a decent render using Nivdia iray with pretty good real time feed back. for games I was able to play Planetside 2 at a pretty good resolution at a good frame rate probably not like 120 fps on ulta high but it didnt dip below 30. with two m.2 drives on the bottom and a full ssd slot as well (cable is included so if you buy second hand watch out) I was able to get good storage. ram is upgradeable to 32 gbs which in the end is a pretty strong work horse. upgrading it was a bit scary as its not under the keyboard you have to take the bottom off and use a thin of plastic guitar pick or ifixit to open it up. go onto YouTube to watch a break down, its not to hard to upgrade. batter life is not great but you could tailor it by having it turn off lights and lower screen brightness. built in Bluetooth and full ethernet port 2 usb 3 ports and one usb c. which brings me to my con and that is very little vr support. I played vr games on a even older graphic card than this, and yet this RTX 3050 has no display port or a fast enough usb c to support an adapter. I cant say about the quest but I have a rift s and it will not work on this laptop. if you are looking for a mid workstation laptop this might fill the bill, if you are looking to get this for an artist going into school this one would be a good deal with the dedicated gpu this will extend the life of this computer to be able to handle most 3d and 2d applications.

Took it out of the box and it doesn’t work. Wont charge or turn on. Had to return it. Definitely the last time I ever buy an Acer.

Came with a busted charger but other than that its a great laptop

This is my first laptop after a decade and I am very happy to purchase this one. So many good words about Nitro 5s, even this one is not one of the better ones, I added another 8Gb ram and 2 TB 2.5 SSD to make it bit more usable. Not that anything wrong with 8Gb ram and 256Gb SSD but 8Gb rams are not that expensive at all these days.. I had 2TB SSD from my big computer, just switched it over. Talking about upgrading the laptop, its so easy. Comes with everything you need to add another 2.5 SSD. YouTube videos helped me out though, made my job a lot easier. This computer does play FPS games, and plays them very smooth. The fans start running though, and you might think its overheating, thats not the case, its normal. They dont go full speed. I also play mobile games and stream through laptop... no heating no fan issues at all... its like so smooth and easy for the machine. For this price, I highly recommend it, if you are in a tight budged like I am. One more thing for this laptop, I am going to travel Europe next year, and it wont be problem bringing it with me, since it is travel friendly :)

Unfortunately, the unit wont power on. I cant tell if its the laptop itself or if its a bad power supply?
