Acer Nitro 5 (2020) Review

 

Impressive CPU and 1080p gaming performance for the money ; Expandable storage ; Great battery life ; Wi-Fi 6 support

Skimpy 256GB boot SSD ; Hard-to-read keyboard ; No SD or microSD slot

It's short on storage, but the latest edition of Acer's Nitro 5 economy gaming laptop is otherwise the best yet, delivering lively 1080p gameplay for less than $700.

Acer Nitro 5 (2022) Review: Gaming Under $1,000

 

Not every gaming laptop needs to cost an arm and a leg.

+ Affordable ; + Design isn't garish ; + Decent gaming performance for the price

- Tons of bloatware ; - Display is a bit washed out

The Acer Nitro 5 is a budget gaming laptop with an unobtrusive design and solid gaming performance for the price, as long as you're willing to turn down the settings for some games. Acer needs to cool its jets on the bloatware, though.
