Acer Nitro 5 AN515 (15.6-inch, 2019)

Solid 1080p gaming and a giant display at a low price. Room for storage expansion. Decent webcam.

Lackluster screen. No SD card slot or Thunderbolt 3 port. Hard-to-read keyboard.

Bottom Line: For less than $900, this 17.3-inch version of Acer's Nitro 5 bargain gaming rig plays top games at top quality settings at close to 60fps. Its screen is merely adequate, but the laptop as a whole is a great value.

Excellent keyboard ; Inexpensive ; Great battery life

Awkward shape ; Low-level performance ; Dim screen

Honestly the only aspect of the Nitro 5 that gives me pause is longevity. Look at that benchmark again: The GTX 1650 struggles with a four-year-old game. You’re definitely not going to max out most of 2019’s biggest releases, and it’s only going to get...

Weel buolt good quality machine

Battery life bery poor

Having played World Of Warcraft for 15 years on various devices I can confirm this is by far the best !! My son had a WOW set up as a PC that he paid £2000 for and this laptop outperforms his set up easily . With the settings on the highest I still get...

Nice design and decent price. Runs the games my daughter wants but we know it's limitations. Overall a good purchase

Better memory and processor but then the price would go up

Does the job well

I most just use it for small games and personal work and it's a great laptop, the battery only really lasts a couple of hours though

Only that the battery life could be a bit better
