Playing on a home console is great, but sometimes you need more power and precision than the PS4, Nintendo Switch or even Xbox One can provide. To the rescue: The Acer Nitro 5 gaming laptop. If you are a gamer or if there is a gamer you love who can use just one more holiday gift, you need to know about this special offer.
The Acer Nitro 5 gaming laptop is on sale for $ 670, or $ 150 off on Amazon, just today – that’s the lowest price we’ve ever seen on this model. It is also worth buying before an upcoming birthday, because that price may not come back. In any case, don’t delay: this next-level sale expires at midnight PST.
Gross power
Originally priced at $ 820, the Acer Nitro 5 Gaming Laptop, with an Intel Core i5-10300H processor paired with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 graphics card, is a beast. It comes with 16 GB of memory and 256 GB of on-board storage.
The Windows 10 gaming laptop can withstand even the most intense and graphically demanding games, such as Final Fantasy XV, Metro Exodus, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and Far Cry 5. In addition, its memory and storage are easily upgradeable. If you want more, just open the laptop and insert new cards and units.
Everything about it looks sharp and detailed, and its 15.6-inch Full HD display has an insanely high refresh rate (144 Hz) for realistic movement and clarity.
“I didn’t expect Nitro 5 to surprise me,” wrote a satisfied five-star reviewer, “but I must say that I am still impressed by the excellent quality of the screen and the refresh rate is incredible. Everything I played on it worked perfectly. Also for those who are wondering: if you are looking for a cheap laptop to show all the features of VR on GO, I have been more than able to run Half life Alyx and show it to other people on my Oculus, without any problems. “
Elegant and clean design
There is no getting around it. This laptop is big and dense, but it has to be – it’s a gaming powerhouse. It was not only designed to last a day’s work (although it also does), it was designed to destroy large games with detailed graphics without any delay, latency or loss of frames.
For a gaming laptop, the Acer Nitro 5 is super stylish, with its all-black design and bright red accents. Its bright red backlit keyboard ensures that gameplay in the dark is clear and accurate. And at less than 3.5 pounds, it’s surprisingly portable – compared to others that weigh more than 5 pounds.
“As a researcher and player, I need a computer that can run a lot of high-level computing software (eg GIS) and also play in my spare time. This computer can do both with ease, ”shared a satisfied Amazon customer. “Overall, it’s just what I needed.”
“Great laptop, great price, cool colors and does everything my teen needs (and wants) to do. Especially with COVID and virtual learning – we needed a device to meet the needs of the school (sorry, Chromebooks, but …) and we wanted a device for your love of games and (for now virtual) friendships. Would recommend, ”added another five-star reviewer from Amazon.
With this selling price below $ 1,000, it is a winner for both beginners and professionals.
