This Nitro V has been a solid gaming laptop so far. Performance is quick and smooth games and everyday tasks run without any issues. The screen looks great and the system overall feels responsive. It does heat up pretty quickly under load, and the battery life isn’t the best, so it’s definitely better suited for being plugged in. Still, for the specs and price, it’s a good laptop that gets the job done. Read more

This laptop so far has given me excellent performance for my design work and the odd game, I would like to expand the ram and the hard drive more Read more

My wife needed to upgrade because her previous Acer Nitro was damaged. She wanted another Acer because her last one was 8 years old and still worked (although the HDD was 128GB and the screen was damaged due to negligence), so the build quality and performance were impressive to her. She's over the moon with this one. Her only complaint is that the keyboard backlight doesn't stay on. It has a time-out even when plugged in, but that's not a big thing for her. This version is much thinner than the previous versions, and much lighter. That does lead to limitations on heat dispersion, but it doesn't get too hot. Size-wise, it's a lot smaller than her older version. The keyboard is a smaller keyboard but still has a 10-key. Overall, it's definitely a good computer for the price point, but it isn't the best for those with larger hands. Read more

Picked up the Acer Nitro V gaming laptop a couple days ago, August 18, 2025, ‘cause I needed somethin’ to crush it in my games. This thing’s a beast—Intel i7 and that RTX 4050 make my FPS soar, hittin’ that sweet 165Hz display like a dream. Setup was a breeze, and the lightweight design’s a bonus for luggin’ it around. Other reviews love the value and performance, and I’m with ‘em—runs my comp games smooth as butter. But dang, it gets loud as heck when gammin’, and the heat can sneak up on ya. Keyboard backlit times out too quick, which is annoyin’, and the 16GB RAM feels a tad skimpy—wish it came with more outta the box. Still, for the price, it’s a killer deal if you can handle the noise! Read more

This is my first gaming laptop. I was looking for something that could handle all the games I was interested in and so far no complaints! I’ve had it for about 2-3 months. No issues with Minecraft, Hogwarts Legacy, Skyrim, and a few other open world games. It’s fast and easy to use, great “budget” laptop. As all the other reviews say the fans can get loud but as long as you use headphones it’s really not noticeable. The size is perfect since it’s pretty average and portable without compromising on screen size. Clarity is nice. The only thing I am not too happy about is the squished number pad. My work computer is the same size and has a normal layout number pad but this laptop has narrow number keys. Not an issue at all if you don’t plan on using them but I’m a spreadsheet person even for my personal life so sometimes it’s annoying to use. Probably something internal that compromised the space available for it. Overall I recommend this laptop!! I think it will last years and you’ll definitely get your moneys worth. Read more

Before we start, let's make some things clear. 1. This is a gaming laptop. That means it is built for performance over economy. If you're looking for a long battery life, you're looking at the wrong category of laptops. 2. This is a very affordable gaming laptop. By affordable, I mean it has the specs to run most games just fine with basic settings. It is not going to get you amazing framerates on graphics-intensive games with the graphics settings cranked up, the hardware just isn't that powerful. 3. Gaming laptops get hot. Performance in a computer comes at the cost of heat. Laptops are harder to keep cool than your average desktop just due to the lack of physical space they have to circulate air. So if you try to use this as an actual laptop and put it on your lap, it's not going to be very comfortable as there will be some really hot air blowing right on you. I would strongly advise that you use this on a hard flat surface so the air vents on the bottom have clearance to draw in air. In fact, I would further recommend a cooling pad to increase the ventilation to extend the lifespan of the components. You can also expect the power supply brick to get mighty hot as well. Make sure you don't cover it with something so it can dissipate that heat. OK, with that being said, let's talk about this computer specifically. It looks pretty sharp, the design on the lid is pretty cool. The keyboard is pretty standard, and there are a good amount of ports. It even has an actual Ethernet port for anyone who wants to be wired in instead of being on the wifi. Acer is well-known for making solid budget gaming machines that provide a relatively good bang for your buck. This is no exception. The performance is decent, especially for the price. The case is plastic and probably wouldn't stand up to a lot of abuse, but that's typically not an issue for gaming laptops. This isn't the device you typically slam into a backpack and drag through classrooms or stuff in a locker. The specs are pretty good. An i7 for a processor is better than average for a laptop in this price range. The graphics card is the GeForce RTX 4050, which is kind of the lower end of mid-range but certainly good enough to play most anything if you're willing to tone down the graphics on the more demanding games. 16GB of RAM is pretty standard and should suffice for most gaming needs. The 1TB SSD is pretty nice and bigger than many at this price point. This should give plenty of space to install games and store files. All in all, I would say this is perfect for a beginner or a gamer on a budget as you get a decent amount of performance relative to the price. Just make sure you treat it correctly. Read more

This is our second laptop that we have bought same brand and style. We love the way it works and can be used for both work and gaming. Read more

La laptop es muy buena, para lo que la compré que es para edición, ha funcionando muy bien hasta el momento. Read more

After my predator helios lasting me nearly 6 years I had to go back to acer. Quite surprised how well it's built. Wish it had a bigger RAM but I was able to install one after getting it. It does get loud during gaming but not as hot as I thought the keyboard would get as is usual with gaming laptops. very satisfied so far and so very light weight at least compared to what I'm used to. Read more

The machine is pretty high powered and plays all my games with ease - these days it's mostly Overwatch and TLOU (lol). The fan is SUPER loud but I always use headphones, so it doesn't bother me. The laptop can get pretty hot while gaming, so I'd recommend investing in a quality cooling pad. Overall, I recommend this especially for the price. Read more
