Acer Nitro 5 Gaming Laptop Review GTX 1050

[@leanporkchops]

Thank you.

Andrew Tran hi Andrew I brought this laptop can u tell me why it freezes and skip's while I play company of heroes 2. I know it should not do that.

yeah all the other reviewers are Indian or something and I can't ever understand them.

[@francomiranda706]

Someone an hour's drive away from me was selling this laptop for $250. Figured something must be wrong with it, but for that price, i had to check it out. When i got there, turns out the guy had loaded this thing up with a bunch of viruses and thought it was unfixable. Luckily, I had recently made a Windows 10 bootable USB, and actually had it with me. Wiped the SSD clean and started the install right then and there. Had essentially a brand new gaming laptop for $250 by the time I went home, and let me tell you this is an amazing laptop. Keep your eyes peeled for good deals out there people, Craigslist and LetGo are your friends.

[@andythedrummer9642]

I bought this with the I5-8400 4gb and it's gonna come here soon. Does it run games smoothly with medium?

[@francomiranda706]

@@andythedrummer9642 Mine has 8gb ram, a Geforce 1050, and a 256 SSD. It's pretty much handled every AAA game you can imagine, and even a bunch of real time ray tracing demos. I've been using a Cemu to play Breath of the Wild on it, and it runs amazingly, I havent checked exactly, but it seems to run well over 60 FPS (given that this is a tough game to emulate on a lot of computers). If yours comes with the same specs as mine, I'd say you're fine with whatever you want to throw at it. I haven't had this computer slow down at all. If yours comes with 4gb ram, it should only cost less than 30 bucks to add an extra 4gb ram to it, check for DDR4 laptop ram on amazon and make sure it matches your ram's speed. You can even add an extra HDD disk for pretty cheap too, as i think all models have an extra HDD slot. Hope this helped!

[@andythedrummer9642]

@@francomiranda706 thanks! It helped! Only problem is that I don't know literally amything about computers, so it would be hard for me to upgrade it xD My specs are : GTX-1050 4GB I5-8300H 8GB DDR4 RAM, 256 GB SSD

[@francomiranda706]

@@andythedrummer9642 youve got the same specs as me, except you actually have a better CPU than i do! nice man, im sure itll work great with whatever you use it for. Also, im not too good with computers either, but this one is actually pretty easy to upgrade! If you ever run out of storage, theres an extra hard drive slot on the back (you just have to unscrew 4 screws). I found a tutorial on youtube on how to add an extra hard drive for this computer and its super easy. you can get a 1TB seagate firecuda for like 50 bucks on amazon, and thats pretty much more storage then youll ever need in your life, lol. im thinking about doing that if i ever fill the 256 GB

[@shannonmcdonald6959]

I am a casual gamer. I play GW2. bought this laptop because every time I raid with many other players my fps would drop to unplayable. i bought this....cranked up settings as high as i could.....and BAM !!! totally changed my experience. Love it! wanted to see what it could do.. so i got Witcher 3. game looks and plays great on high settings. Also tried BDO on high settings.... runs like a champ!! It will get a little hot and the fans will kick in... buts to be expected.. If you are a casual player..the Nitro 5 will change the way you feel about gaming. now i understand why hardcore gamers are hardware geeks. but for me and casual gamers.. this will make you happy.

[@jakobmsattler]

how hot are your pc when you play games? because mine is around 85-90 celcius on low settings on games that doesnt require good specs. Ps sry for bad english it is not my primary language

[@Eternal2007]

+Aaradhyavishekh Sharma You're welcome. Thanks for watching.

[@avsharma24]

Andrew Tran I'm from India and I am a bit confused because the specs are a bit different here like there are two models- (1)For 75K rupees- 8gb ram,1tb hdd no ssd,i5-7th gen, 4gb 1050Ti (2)For 90K rupees-16gb ram,1tb hdd + 128gb ssd,i7-7th gen,4gb 1050. I just want to mention that flipkart shows that the cheaper model has GTX 1050Ti and the other has GTX 1050. But as far as I know 1050Ti is way better than 1050. So can you please solve my problem.

[@zapharian6114]

Aaradhyavishekh Sharma If you just want to play games (1) would be a better choice.

[@avikde9631]

Aaradhyavishekh Sharma hi I got it in sale in flipkart for 70200 rs. Don't take the i7 version it is more costly and most importantly it has been gtx 1050 mine has 1050 ti version. A 7th gen i7 has the most huge problem that is overheating so u have to undervolt it. Basically the 70k version is better in all respects. I will add a 8 gb ram and a 256 gb ssd to it

[@avsharma24]

[@suske069]

I bought one last week at Cosco for $650. I also bought and installed the next day an extra 8 GB RAM module (making it now 16 GB RAM) and a 2 TB HDD for additional storage. Man, does it rock now!! Adding those 2 components was laughably easy! Just open those 2 lids on the bottom and pop in. The laptop even came with the 4 screws necessary to install the HDD in a bag, included in the box! It was just begging to be upgraded!! They were even so nice to have put a single 8 GB module in one slot, leaving the other slot free, so no having to sacrifice any modules, as some @#$% manufacturers would have filled up the 2 slots with 2 4 GB modules. The only extra effort was having to shave a little plastic internally from the screw's pillar that was interfering with the plug of the ribbon connected to the HDD, no biggy.

[@aguslopezn]

suske069 how did you upgrade the HDD? Ive read that doesnt include a sata cable and stuff

[@suske069]

I opened up a lid covering the extra hard drive bay and there was a cable just waiting there for a drive to be attached to it. Yes, I read some reviews also saying there was no cable, but as soon as I bought it I checked and there it was. There were even included in a bag in the box the 4 screws necessary to attach a new drive. The only extra work was shaving away a small piece of plastic internally from a screw's pillar to allow the cable to sit properly and the drive to enter. No big work at all.

[@suske069]

It is! And with those additions I mentioned it will be totally kickass!! Get one before they are gone.

[@chaos_deus0394]

um my brother is gonna get me a new laptop and saw this one on sale i only have 1 question what ram stick did u use as i plan on either getting another laptop to replace my current Asus A-5000 with 8gig would u recomend this as an upgrade cause its either this or having to spend far more on the desktop with monitors and an actual desk

[@kevxiv5129]

[@drummer7557]

I started playing Assassins Creed Origins, runs at about 30fps with some dips (on HIGH settings) and it looks incredible. Even with the slight dips its very playable. And mine has the 8th gen I5, which boosts all the way up to 4.0ghz. So for CPU intensive games this is much better than what any console can put out. Also played Gears 4, very very solid. Also mine has the 1TB HDD which isn't as fast, but definitely not a deal breaker. I trust Acer, been using them for 20 years. Lets just hope this one lasts!

[@Native722]

Can you use both hard drive bays at the same time? I don't quite understand why Acer would make it difficult to take out the whole back panel.

[@CleverFauxFox]

I dont know if it help contribute to how easy it developed but that screen flex possibly complicated my nitro 5 with a cable coming lose which has not led to me tearing down the entire laptop to attempt re-seating it

[@songs1210]

So it has a slot for a normal laptop hard drive, but no slots to actually plug in to? Can you open up the laptop and the cables deeper in the components ? Or can you buy cables and attach them somewhere ?
