Acer Nitro 5 (15.6-inch, 2021)

Powerful AMD CPU ; High-res WQHD display ; Accepts three storage drives ; Decent battery life

Plastic build is less appealing in high-end configurations ; Max-Q GPU limits performance in RTX 3070 model

Acer's Nitro 5 gaming laptop, refreshed for 2021, delivers friendly features at a reasonable price in its entry and mid-level configurations.

Great specs for the price - and highly customisable (if you can afford it)

Feels slightly flimsy in places ; Needs more storage as standard

Once again proof that good gaming performance won't necessarily need to cost your a fortune. Although it'll depend just how much you customise the options.

Impressive 1080p gaming power ; Superb AMD processor ; Comfortable keyboard ; Very affordable

Underwhelming display ; Mediocre battery life ; Not that many extra features

The Acer Nitro 5 has good core power, a solid keyboard and a low price, so it's a tempting option if you want a gaming laptop on a budget. You will have to put up with some sacrifices, though.

Amazing performance for the price ; Surprisingly quiet ; Abundant upgrade options

Once more, Acer has done a pretty good job to balance between the compromises of low costs, and performance. Ultimately, there are some key features that will make you consider this product. First and foremost – you get very capable hardware that is...

Extremely powerful ; Good keyboard and trackpad ; Speedy display

Limited features ; Heavy ; Short battery life

The Nitro 5 is among the best gaming laptops in terms of raw performance. However, performance isn’t everything, and the Nitro 5 offers neither the best value nor the best features for the money. It’s the cheapest laptop with an RTX 3080, but as we...
