Just to be clear on the Nitro, it CAN be good, the main issue is how poorly performance can be in some configurations that are on offer.

Acer: No one is gonna know
Jarrod on angry Australian mode: Hi
Acer: They're gonna know

[kentoyawazaki]

I wish all reviewers are like Jarrod. Pure honesty, no bullshit.

[JohnnyValmaggia]

These new thumbnails really doing the trick, Jarrod. I'm gonna have to take the hint.

Beside the power limit, the display output is only rely on single HDMI, the Type-C didn't have DisplayPort output. That's why I skipped Nitro 5 and bought HP Omen 15 with 5600H+RTX3060 which is have triple display and lots of ports. Sorry for the bad English.

Never get tired of watching jarrod. Don’t even need a new laptop he just makes good videos

I have a nitro 5 10300H 2060 8GB and a 10750 3060 and 16GB model. Not bad at all even under load. Just upgrade the RAM and you are set. I think this review is a bit too negative on a laptop that is the cheapest one with a 144HZ atleast its better than any 60hz laptop or screen i have had. It has room for 2 M.2 and 1 SATA drive. Very good for a laptop.

We all love good budget machines.

The important part is "good"

[xboxswitch]

My acer has lasted me a good two years, i added ram to it, and it's still running really well on every game I play. to each their own, but I think it's a great starting laptop/budget option.

Thank u for the truth, so many other reviewers recommended this and I almost got it. Just pointing out the prices for these aren’t worth it either considering they are more expensive than ASUS TUF A15. Edit: As many of you have pointed out maybe the TUF isn't the best either, I just personally think the Nitro 5 doesn't have good value especially at higher end configurations where for a little more you can get ROG or Alienware or MSI with similar specs but MUCH better user experience.

I've got the 5600H with 3060 but with 16 GB of dual channel RAM. I don't know why manufacturers even put 8GB single stick inside, today. I'm more than satisfied with my Nitro 5. Considering the other laptops in that performance range are 200$ more expensive, I'm really happy. Not to mention it's a 17.3 inch laptop, which is my #1 setting a laptop must have.
Is the RAM rank really important? Rx8 vs Rx16. I mean theoretically they could impact, but I highly doubt the impact could be more than a couple of percent on average? I'm a physicist and not a microelectronics engineer so I don't really know the depth of such things

[nekpatel]

Jarrod I want to thank you so much for posting these videos, it really helps when searching for a new laptop. I got myself HP Omen R7 3060 after the Omen Vs Legion 5 Pro. Yes i know Legion would have been a better choice but the design aesthetic of Omen felt more subtle to me, also I don’t need all the power available from a laptop like Legion so Omen will be pretty good

[nori]

Well, that's expected of AMD to get more power on GPU due to their CPU being more power efficient.

[shro]

The only thing I can say is Insomnium is a really sick band.

[KyuriD]

And here i'm, in Brazil, that only gets outdated models as "news" with extremally high prices, and bought a acer nitro 1650ti few months ago... i'm going to cry n the corner now

[muhamadhafizabdullah]

was glad that the RAM config is the main culprit for the low scores in games.. Luckily Acer Nitro in my country has options with dual-channel config.. looking forward for the Ryzen 5 vs Intel 11th Gen comparisons..

[ghiefted]

I'm glad taking nitro 5 with ryzen 7 5800h rtx 3060, already upgradded memory to 32GB 3200mhz, which is good for performance to price ratio in my country i think.

[CorpusMonstrum]

Never had a single issue with my Nitro 5, plays everything i bought it for perfectly and has never presented an issue

[xentrix]

I have an acer nitro 5 with a 1050 as it does get hot but not to the point where it doesn't perform like any other 1050 overall im quite happy with it even in 2021

[sherlock]

I have it and runs games extremely well, I am playing apex on high settings with 100-111 FPS. I am very happy with the laptop I am not massively into gaming but it holds very well.
