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

Its been a few weeks, the machine has the following issues;

I had to return the Acer Nitro to Amazon. The computer failed to boot properly twice within the first two weeks and both times it said the system needed to be completely reset before using it again. I have had an Acer Aspire for more than 5 years and it has performed without a problem during that time, so I do not have the patience to keep wiping and resetting a brand new $800 dollar computer.

Great laptop for the price. Will run any game you throw at it with no problems. Some extremely demanding games will be limited to high settings instead of ultra because of the 4gb of VRAM. However if youre gaming on the laptop screen its very hard to perceive any difference between medium/high and ultra settings because of the pixel density of a 1080p 15.6 display.

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.

This laptop is really good I thought it was broken at first but I had to push the charger in all the way and hear a click but this is a good gaming laoptop

tiny acer drive, only 237 GB when the other one was 900 GB or so

Works great even better than expected however the stoa rage isn’t amazing that is expected with what I ordered and it’s amazingly customizable for storage and ect. The computer does get really hot sometimes when playing but the fans help cool it down well. Amazing computer highly recommended!

The screen would not light up even after charging.

Got it 2 days ago and Im in love. Everything works smoothly, added extra SDD and ram and it can run pretty much any game. Its great for work aswell. Overall great laptop for its price.

so that horrible feeling when you buy a laptop and get the delivery and the box seal is open...you decide to look at the condition anyway and all the screws are missing from the bottom case...yeah not fun and now I have to wait to re-order to get same deal until they get this device back as returned...so if I am lucky I will see its replacement in 2 weeks...Im a student and my PC had died and this was a replacement, this now puts me back in progress with school...
