Acer Nitro 5 AN515-57-79TD Gaming Laptop | Intel Core i7-11800H | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU | 15.6 FHD 144Hz IPS Display | 8GB DDR4 | 512GB NVMe SSD | Killer Wi-Fi 6 | Backlit Keyboard

I love everything about this computer except the backlit keyboard does not stay lit very long at all and I have not found a way to change how long it stays on. I dont know why it cant just stay on all the time.

PC didnt even start upon arrival... bricked

The ocmputer is really good, its fast and reliable, I bit big so not amazing if you are used to smaller portable pcs but definetly still able to be carried easily. I have not run into any issues with this computer.

A little slow sometimes.. but aIm liking

I bought this 2/2022, six months later and those bright white lines are appearing. I contacted Acer because, warranty. I’m dismayed that this is apparently a known “extra” included with their products. I’m an more dismayed that they expect me to pay for shipping this to Texas for repair. Why? Because this defect has been shipping from the manufacturer for years. Do Not Recommend. I’ll stick with Apple products as I have done for the past 23 years with zero issues.

battery life is very short

My return window has closed, but this laptop can only be played for about 20 minutes then it overheats. We have cleaned it regularly and still no luck. Guess we have a 1000 dollar paper weight.

In perusing earlier reviews, there are plenty of skilled techno-gurus who have commented aplenty about this laptops performance metrics. Im not that savvy or skilled enough to delve deeply into that area. Rather, let me add a few comments about usability for the casual users.

Received the item. Unpacked and set it up per the guidelines. The performance of the hardware seemed pretty good. The cooling fans seemed to spin up loudly often when running some software. Installed a widely known gaming platform on the laptop, assuming that a gaming laptop would by default be able to load it and the games that run under it. When I would try to run half of the games, games icons simply showed in the icon bar and then disappear and the applications not load. Finally one applications errored a visible message stating it could not be run from a hypervisor. I went to a command line and found the OS stating that there was a hypervisor installed. So, I attempted to go and uninstall the OS standard hypervisor. But, it did not show as installed in the OS menus. I dont know if this was a factory configuration or some post-factory add. But, a gaming laptop should not have any issue with running gaming applications. Very disappointing to have such issues with a brand new device. I dont expect to spend this much on a gaming laptop, and then have to sit for hours on end determining how to reconfigure a system to do gaming. Only good point to it was the speed of the hardware. Otherwise, it was a major letdown.

I had bad experience with this laptop I received defective Laptop, laptop is not charging.
