This laptop is a beast, u can play every game with normal settings and get minimum of 120+ fps. It is the best laptop in my opinion if u want something between $800 to $1000. an example, I play GTA V on this laptop with ultra settings and play like 80+ fps minimum. it is a good laptop and u can change RAM whenever u want. and I play CSGO maxed out settings 280 FPS
SERGE if it get’s hot, u can click on the N button on the Numpad which stands for Nitro, and then put it to the max for a few minutes, laptop temperature will immediately go to 40 degrees or sometimes even 35
Love mine.... Can't fault CPU speed... GPU is ok.... For the money it's great... Does hit 92c but no throttling here ... You can turn power down if you don't need turbo.... GPU will still work flat out.... Mine came with 2 x 4gb sticks.... So it was already dual channel so didn't notice a big improvement, but with 2 x 8gb you have plenty to spare ... Very easy to get back off and upgrade it ... It's not perfect, but deffo if it's all you can afford. If you want performance... Get a PC... My boys have i3 and 1650 and they smoke my laptop lol .. but pretty even really in game.
Man this was a really good review, performance, trying to find the throttling, upgrading ram, and everything else. I guess if Acer claims this being a gamer laptop, it shouldn't have all these throttling problems. I'm thinking about buying this laptop now I know what to expect. thank you
Wow thanks for the awesome comment! Consider that almost every laptop throttles now its how they handle the throttle is what you want to consider. Acer isnt the best or the worst, but they can compete so its a good product in my opinion.

you all probably dont give a shit but does anybody know of a tool to get back into an instagram account? I was dumb forgot the account password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me!
@Frank Major I really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
you may need to undervolt this machine first, and 8GB of ram is pointless talking about it, at least 16GB of ram in dual channel is a sweet spot. Whenever you're playing Triple A's game, don't go for maxed out everything, this machine great enough to run those game at medium setting, and most of the game with high setting 1080p. Considered for it's price, this is great for it's value. I'm happy with this machine to date.
@@iskender9854 Not at all. I maxed out the fans, and there you go. No thermal throttling seen. Otherwise you could always opted some other cooler pad or usb vaccum cooler or better yet, combining both of them.
I will say that I have this exact model and haven't had any issue with thermals. My unit runs freakishly cool even when running Cyberpunk on a mix of ultra, high, and medium settings at 1080 while maintaining above 40fps. I did go into the nitro sense software make sure the unit was set for high performance mode as by default it was set for power saving which did make a huge difference in performance. Mine was also a brand new unit and not a refurbished unit.
I have the RTX2060 version of the 2019 model with the 9300h, I don't have the frame drop issues you have but I have 32Gb ram. If you are noticing frame drops and are on battery, plug it in. If you still have your Nitro, get all the bios updates, this will help. The 2019 models run hotter, it helps to use a stand or even just raising the rear of the laptop about an inch to provide better airflow. I have 2 NVME drives and I have a SATA HD in the 2.5 bay, it is a great storage option for files that don't require speed.
Oh yeah the 2060 version is great, that added performance over the 1650 will be noticeable. also the ram upgrade super useful. I started using a laptop stand for all my machines now. James you seem like a power user may I ask what brought you to my videos?
@@SERGE_Tech I just searched out the 9300 in the Nitro 5, I got the 9300/2060 from Acer in a closeout sale last month and I am still torturing it. Most of the videos show the I-7 version and it is good to see content for the I-5 version.

Ryad Galib which ever laptop you choose... buy another stick of ram. It will make all the difference. Running in dual channel will give you major gains.
Would you recommend this for me for playing GTA V and for editing videos in After Effects? And also, can I add 2 sticks of 16GB RAM? A total of 32GB? Btw great video. Hope you notice me
It is excellent. I have the GTX 1050 version and I get 60fps at 1080p High on GTA V and I edit using Filmora and DaVinci Resolve, it is pretty dope for me. I edit at 1080p, so I am not sure how 4K will be if that is your thing
Hey guys! Thanks for commenting both of you! Alexis I have subscribed to you, wondering if you will ever post your vids on your channel? Nikhil did a good job replying to your comments. Extra Ram and SSD storage is a good idea it will speed things up. Although its not impossible doing work with the base model if you have the extra funds its a worth while upgrade. If you guys have any further questions let me know.
One of my close friends just got this laptop recently and is really liking it. Although I personally feel that its config is a little weird I really like its upgradability options. His machine also seems to BSOD like hourly... We think it's bad gpu drivers as the error is bad_pool_caller, but with the pandemic we haven't yet been able to figure that out for sure.
Well I know its cooling is probably the worst a laptop has ever seen thats gonna be my guess since poor cooling can cause all kinds of issues but if its a driver issue you can try rolling back drivers or experimental driver or 3rd party drivers which ever and its possible it could fix it. I would report back if you ever get it fixed or figure out whats going on. Have you checked the temperatures of it during gaming and before bsod? if you like this kind of content and want to keep in contact id recommend subscribing.
SERGE Yeah for sure I’ll report back as soon as we figure out the issue! I haven’t actually had physical access to his laptop yet and obviously it’s even harder to get that now with the current situation, but in the months ahead if I get a chance I’ll let you know
ive had this laptop for a long time it has heating problems definetly but i recommend pressing the Special N button on the keyboard which brings up a built in cooling system which you can customize i have it set to max which now it is not as hot as before
you can play on highest settings with no issue and on top of that you could even enhance the graphics by creating higher res models, and designing better textures to get us away from this cartoony look.
@@cartoonxo6136 for the model in the video you get 256gb ssd in the stock config. You have room to add another m.2 drive up to 8tb and a mechanical or sata based ssd. Mechanical 2.5 hard drives are up to 2tb and 2.5 ssds are up to 4tb.
do you know if you can overclock this laptop? i sold an acer nitro 5 (amd ryzen model. had a 2500u and an amd 560x gpu). i could overclock the gpu using msi afterburner. i never figured out how to overclock the cpu though. i assume i can overclock the gpu on this model the same way as my former model. on a lighter note, i sold the ryzen model for 450 yesterday and found this model (which has bigger screen, bigger ssd, newer and better gpu, for 550 on ebay refurbished).

Hello, would you recommend me this laptop for college?, Im a console player so maybe I wouldn't play that much on it, I just want it for office, work on AutoCAD and other programs for design, great video btw 😃
If you owned Nitro 5 and has thermal problem, just repasted it. Stock thermal is not so good. Want extra 10 FPS on high end games? Just OC the GPU. 500Mhz on Memory clock would be enough.
wow thanks for sharing! its true this refurb model should be repasted thanks for pointing that out.. Hey quick survey what are some of your favorite channels?

Hello! So I love your review and I recently bought this (haven’t received it yet) and I’m planning on doing some light vr gaming on it, do you think it will handle?
It can be pretty bad sometimes but by using the 'Nitro sence' softwere (you can open by pressing the button with a 'N') you can customise the rpm of the fans (rotations per minute)

I recommened it however most programmers will want something like a macbook or a dell xps because its got superior build quailty and better for programming since its more portable and easier to work with, however any laptop will work for programming so it really depends on if you need a good graphics card or not. have you considered razer blade?

just bought this laptop off ebay for $550 yesterday (refurbished), they jacked the price up to $600 in 1 day. lol. i sold an acer nitro 5 AMD ryzen 2500u and amd 560x model for $450 and found this same laptop for 100 more than i sold my laptop for. this has biggest screen, bigger hard drive, better gpu, etc.
Single channel or dual? I have the same laptop and I don't really have that much stutter on GTA V with dual channel 4gbx2 of Ram. Ultra settings is used btw.

@@SERGE_Tech its likely cheaper for them to connect it to the integrated video port for the intel hd graphics than to run it off of the gpu itself, it also helps save battery life when it doesnt need to be used..
Wow kick ass video thanks for posting that, yeah if you can afford the newer one go for it but it wont be a deal breaker if you get the older one especially if you can save a little bit. However if you got the money the newer one has a bigger battery, more ports, newer cpu and better gpu, now both of these components are substainally better however they are decent improvements.

PLEASE PLEASE HELP!! I recently just ordered this laptop for my ethical hacking class is this a good computer to start that on will it run the programs like Linux and for coding and stuff🥺
For coding and only coding?, if so this will run it pretty good. If not mabe try a think pad, they are affordable and they are business orientated laptops.
Correct the Acer will do a fine job, it also have a dedicated gpu which will be useful if you plan on gaming.

Hi, I know you uploaded this video a long time ago but I am about to buy this computer Nitro 5, Core i5-9300H, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650. I am a graphic designer and I think all adobe suite will run smoothly, right? And also could you please advise on which of the two options should I get: 16 GB de RAM | SSD PCIe de 512 GB | 1 TB HDD) Or 16 GB de RAM | 1 TB PCIe SSD Thank you!!!
The 1TB ssd is the one you want, since your doing content creation you need fast storage stay away from HDD(they are prone to randomly die and lose work) Good luck on your journey and if you need me I’m always here.
I have run several tests with this configuration this FPS drop is due to incorrect power battery settings from the user I have incredibly stable FPS and as always run a gaming laptop with a cooling pad, simple
It should be good, 16gb is a fair amount if you ever decide you need more you can always add it on later, but overall 16gb is now considered the norm.

And the maximum temperature of cpu is 88 degree (in volorant) But if you decrease the fps and graphics to medium, the temperature will decrease to approximately 80°C
yeah this machine gets a lot of hate it still its a good machine... Thank you for sharing those details this is awesome. If this is your first time here id recommend subscribing.
Yo. Awesome review. I just got it brand new but Sadly, saw the review just after. I get the same fps drops occasionally. 60 fps to sometimes 5-9 fps. It's really debilitating. Also, disk usage shoots up to a 100% often making even the simplest tasks lag like crazy. It takes 7 seconds to open task manager. You think adding another 8 gigs of ram and an m.2 ssd would help or should I send it back for warranty?
Try the ram upgrade first before sending it back but be careful because its easy to break it. if your version has the hdd replace it for an ssd the storage should not shoot up so high I think you are facing bottlenecks. What games did you had the performance drop in? I wanna make sure I help you right. Oh and if you haven't subscribed yet feel free, would love to have you as a subscriber.
@@SERGE_Tech Yo. I actually got another 8 gigs of ram and an ssd and now it's as smooth as a baby's bottom. Thanks anyway and yeah I am subscribed, man. Cheers.
hi dude... i just bought lenovo legion, i5-9300gh, gtx 1650 , 16gb ram and 512gm SSD ... so a bit powerful than his. Also a 17 inch screen.... This laptop is amazing, cool everytime.... and i can play the games in an amazing way... its not too hot and its not too loud.... i also bought it for 900 euros.... which is a GREAT DEAL!! totally recoamnding Lenovo... I use Nitor 5 for work and i had to undervolt it because it gets hot (as the levono gets in gaming) by just working simple tasks.... I think lenovo > acer when it comes to cooling... or maybe it's just the cool software Lenovo has. Its my recomandation after trying the both.... :)

June 2020, is this still a good choice for a cheap gaming laptop? I can buy it for $675. Anything better for this price or lower? Purchasing it for my daughter who plays games like minecraft, roblox and similar. Looking for new laptop as hers is 4gb Acer and there is a game that requires 8gb. Any advice would be great.
Hey thanks for commenting actually I have some useful information to share with you. Have you tried to upgrade your daughters laptops from 4gb to 8gb? and even though a game says thats the minimum requirement its not always the case. Before you buy a laptop try to play that game that requires the 8gb on her 4gb machine and see what happens its possible it may run decent if not then try to upgrade the ram. If that doesnt help then get a new machine. Its a lil confusing but sometimes the ram isnt the only thing to worry about. Sometimes you also have to worry about the gpu and cpu. Have you looked into these? Standing by to help let me know if you have more questions?
I've seen this laptop be recommended for students because of the speed and other specs, what are your thoughts on that? Would it be a good laptop for school and gaming on the side?
Well it does everything you need it to do. Its affordable can be sport some upgrades. Are you a student that games? Or are you looking to get it for someone else?
1)What about build quality of the laptop is it cheap plastic or good??? Please reply i am planning to buy it.. 2)And how much is the battery backup on normal use.. 3) Does the laptop lags will playing games like gta v, cs, Forza horizon and other AAA title games ....
1. Yes its a cheap gaming machine, if you want something of higher build quality you will need spend $800-$1300 maybe even more. It is plastic and if it falls it will shatter, unlike metal which will take a dent. 2. on normal use you are looking at 3-6hrs. 3. it shouldn't lag unreasonably, but as long as the graphics are setup correctly and not maxed out but around the 75 percentile you should be good.

I would probably prefer MSI over Acer but Acer cooling appears to be better then ASUS tuff. Asus tuff cools decently on a desk but not as good on a lap, its because the intake vents are easily blocked with no redundancy.

I am thinking of buying this laptop. It was a tough choice not going to lie. I was aiming towards Lenovo Legion y530 but it was a bit costlier with 1050 instead of 1650. So, obviously, I am planning on going with this one. (Also, this comes with international warranty) I have couple of questions though; 1. There are 2 slots for RAM, as it comes with 8GB. Can I install a 16GB RAM and keep the 8GB as well, so that it amounts to 24GB? Or does it require same amount of memory? I have trouble understanding the dual channel single channel thing in RAM. 2. The M.2 SSD slots, how much is the capacity? Can I add 1TB M.2 SSD on both of them?
Nice job Deathstroke, yeah a pc will always be better and when its time to give it better hardware you can easily upgrade it, its a computer lovers paradise. Good luck and post a vid of your pc when you get a chance be cool to see it.
@@SERGE_Tech Manufactures tend to stick to the specs of chipsets or they may be liable. Undervolting is taking advantage of the range of specs a chip can work at, like over-clocking, but takes the chip outside its comfort zone. CPU and GPU will have a range which will differ for each chip based on quality and process. So, it would be nice if they undervolted, but then people would undervolt more and it will increase crashes.
Hi, can you please help me with a few questions? Can you change the keyboard light colour? And also if turn off the light can you see which key is which please
@@HiHi-gr7ii for the first question, nope. You sadly can't change the keyboard color because it uses red LED's while having a literal red keycaps. As for the second one, I assume you mean "Are the keys visible with only the keyboard lights on". If so. Yes, the letters are clear.

Hey thanks for sharing, I believe its the 8gb ram, once you upgrade to 16gb it pretty much fixes all issues. Now 16gb ram should be standard. Very glad you are enjoying your machine. I actually on my main machine run 64gb ram because when I am editing I need to make sure I don't run out of memory, video editing takes a lot ram. I am also running on the six core.

@@SERGE_Tech absolutely! I plan on creating some content myself. Gaming content. I wish I had a better gpu but this being my first gaming PC in general, so I can not complain especially the price...plus its upgradable to a point...sad mobo only supports 32gb ram tho. Im aslo a little disappointed in the fact there is no thunderbolt port...i think thats what its called the port for eGPU.
trust me 32gb is enough I opted for 64gb because I like to max out my potential but 32gb for content creation is really good. yeah its hard to find thunderbolt on entry level devices sometimes mid tier machines will have them but its mostly a high end machine that carrys thunderbolt. My first pc was one that I built at 10 years old back in 2001. AMD athlon 2100+ was the cpu boy was it awesome and left an impression on me.
Hey man i’m really on a budget and it seems like this is what I’m going to have to go with. I am getting the the 700$ one but do you honestly recommend this? I’m have little to no knowledge about this. I need a laptop for school work but I wanna be able to run games pretty smoothly I usually don’t run crazy heavy games but do you think I’ll be good running it? . Also do you think I’ll be ok with the 8gb ram? Please let me know thank you 🙏🏽
Hey Angel, you'll be ok with the base model 8gb ram do not worry, you can always add more ram later on. The machine out of box is designed to run pretty good. You can always get it and see if it suits your needs. Yeah I do honestly recommended it, I used it for a little while and was pretty impressed, of course no machine is perfect but this one gets the job done.

bro i have the same laptop and ive been wodering about the native colors of the monitor. dont you think that it feels the monitor temperature color is preset to be lower than usual, the white backgrounds look a bit yellow
there is like a 5-15 percent improve it maybe sometimes its better depending on what your doing. What games will you be playing there may be times where it doesn't improve performance. But if you can afford it get it because its only a matter of time before its useful.

Hi! Can this laptop play Minecraft with optifine if so how much FPS would it get while recording with obs? I plan on starting a TH-cam channel soon and don’t want my content to be too bad 😆

awesome video man just subscribed. I want to buy this for small gaming like destiny 2 and free small games. Do you recommend this if I played on low quality? Does anyone know?
Glad you enjoyed the video! This will go even beyond small gaming, you should be good with destiny 2. Id recommend this on medium to high, if you run into some performance issues you can always get another stick of ram and upgrade it. Any other questions?
Just bought this 3 days ago and will get it this thursday. This was a great review, unlike some which just talks about the specs only, seems pretty solid! Though I might only be able to get away with 8gb ram total, I reckon that's good enough for games if set to low/medium settings?
I wouldn’t worry too much about the graphical settings start on high and if it lags reduce the graphics a bit but if after reducing it multiple times and your on low graphics seriously consider the ram upgrade or plan to get it. I’m pretty sure you won’t have this problem with all games but there may be a few triple a title higher end games which may demand like 12gb ram. For now I think you are good :) Hey if you have any more questions dont hesitate to comment below I am always here for you! Subscribe if you found this video useful and also add me on steam I’d you wanna game sometime :)
@@SERGE_Tech Aight I'll try tweaking the settings, see what works well, and I might consider raising the ram to 12 (On games like Valorant, COD MW and League of Legends). Thanks for the info man!
@@JadeZen520 by your comment I've understood that you have received your machine. Can you please tell me how the games like MW, Valorant are working out for you if you have them installed already?
Well it will depend on how much you wanna spend because in most cases the gf63 will cost more, if you can pay more to get more I would do it since the gf63 has the 6 core this will be useful in making the gaming more smooth and if you ever wanna stream or do other productivity tasks the gf63 is better for that, but if you want to just game and spend the least amount of money get the acer. Are you considering any other machines? what is your budget and will you do anything other then gaming?

Your gettin low frames per second aka FPS is because when the battery is low that causes that and your not selecting the program you want to use your gpu on nvidia
oh no... I'm not sure how I missed that, thank you for point that out I should pin this comment. Let me know if there is anything I can do to get you to sub I am still building this channel and need additional viewers and subs. I want this to be a great companion tech channel and I am willing to help anyone! Good luck!
there will be times when its not over 100 fps but this doesnt matter since you generally dont dip below 60 fps. are you specifically worried about that game? if so how come?
They both seem pretty similar which one are you leaning towards? Asus seems like a more professional company and there doing much internally. But which product are you leaning towards and why?

Hey I man just ordered this laptop. I’ll be mainly be using it for my community college classes. I’m a causal gamer so I’ll probably just be playing gta and cod on it. Other than that it’s going to be strictly for school. As long as it’s better than my shitty slow ass Lenovo I’ll be a happy camper :)
2 months later did you end up getting the machine? how do you like it? I would say its perfect, its true though these machines dont have the best thermals but there are ways around it if your interested.
Yes it should be able to do that quite well but if you run into any problems in the future just upgrade the ram to 16gb and that will boost performance. If you have any more questions do not hesitate to let me know. I am trying to build the best tech channel possible so if you like these types of videos I think you would make a great subscriber. Good luck and let me know what you end up doing.
depends on what your planning on doing with this machine. Are you doing any kind of content creation or engineering or just gaming, also what games will you be playing?
off wall gaming is like 1-2 hours maybe 3 hours if your game is very low demand on the system like a civilization game. document and internet browsing maybe 3-4hours.
on these kind of more affordable machines its hard to get good battery life. you could optimize the systems cpu ghz to .6 and then lower brightness and maybe get 8hours of usage.
Yes it will run it quite well. Wow team spends a good deal of time to run it on igpu systems and these dedicated graphics cards should run quite well.

Hi Serge! I am planning to buy the Acer Nitro 7 which I just saw when we went to the mall yesterday. It's a core i5-9300 with a 4gb Ram and ready for a Ram upgrade. One thing I forgot to know is the screen refresh rate. It is advertised that it has 144hz but I think the one I saw only has a 60hz panel. Does refresh rate matter? (I don't play much heavy games and I just want to play Dota 2 to at the highest settings possible lol)
Hey thanks for the awesome question!!! nice your malls are open? Its ok if its not the i7 it doesnt do much for it if it was. The graphics chip is more important in this case. Now for the refreshrate it actually is noticeable heres the thing if you never tried higher hertz then it wont matter to you, I say you can get the 60hz and it will be fine but if you ever try 120ghz or more its insanely smooth and awesome to game at those higher hertz. If your a serious gamer get the higher hertz it actually improve how you can and could even win you some games. It make me noticeably better at gaming, I went from being average to one of the best... pretty weird but its true. I really hope you enjoyed the video! What other questions do you have?

theres a pretty good deal for this laptop in my country right now i am probably gonna buy it. I think it will be best to buy another 8gb ram and it will be a great machine
Hi what country are you in and where is this deal? could be good for other viewers as well, purchase a link to the source after you purchase yours. Oh yeah with that extra ram you wont freeze up. Some games are really bad with ram management.
SERGE I’m in UK but it just went out of stock so i didn’t manage to get it 😔 I wonder if there will be a restock or it will just be replaced by 2020 version.
say i have a 16g ram but the GHz is like 2.60 or in the 1. range, will i have gaming issues with the GHz being that low even with 16g ram??..and how much does the machine being like an i5 or i7 matter with those actual specs???
It really shouldnt matter that much, the rule of thumb is if you have to ask it doesnt mater. Basically if you ran at 4ghz then yes you would get another 25% fps boost but most people dont care about that. Like I was gaming on a 10 core recently that boosts up to 5ghz, so there I can see a clear difference but most people dont notice a difference because they could hardly care. 2.6ghz is sorta on the lower end, your games will run great you will be fine but if you care about extra fps or extra smoothness you might not see it here all the time and its also video game specific because some games at 2ghz will run flawlessly while other like RUST may not run smoothly. It really depends on the Game and the system but also on you, how much do you really care to have the best performance? its sorta a hard question to answer, but for me I want the best possible machines, I recently used the alienware area51m r2 that thing has a desktop graphics card and desktop cpu inside its laptop form factor it is one insane machine and you can tell the difference.

Is the acer 15.6 good? Has Intel Ci5 9300H/ 512 ssd/ 12 gb ram/ Nvidia GTX 1050 (I'm wondering if it can run apex and overwatch and maybe some other games and can also be good for business and school work on it)
Its pretty good you shouldnt have any issues, although the speakers somewhat underperform. Consider a macbook, compare the sound of both you will know who is the clear winner. The sound on the macbook is breath taking, cant believe how clear and loud it is, although its no acer with its superior gpu. Its a trade off for sure.
I’m not a big gamer but I would like to run maybe one or two games , but would this device be suitable to use with programs like Autocad, no 3D rendering , just 2D .

This laptop is a beast, u can play every game with normal settings and get minimum of 120+ fps. It is the best laptop in my opinion if u want something between $800 to $1000. an example, I play GTA V on this laptop with ultra settings and play like 80+ fps minimum. it is a good laptop and u can change RAM whenever u want. and I play CSGO maxed out settings 280 FPS
all true!!! I only wish they made a metal version with proper insulation so it doesn't get super hot.
SERGE if it get’s hot, u can click on the N button on the Numpad which stands for Nitro, and then put it to the max for a few minutes, laptop temperature will immediately go to 40 degrees or sometimes even 35
Can you play roblox on high graphics?
@@joberockin Yes
Love mine.... Can't fault CPU speed... GPU is ok.... For the money it's great... Does hit 92c but no throttling here ... You can turn power down if you don't need turbo....

Man this was a really good review, performance, trying to find the throttling, upgrading ram, and everything else. I guess if Acer claims this being a gamer laptop, it shouldn't have all these throttling problems. I'm thinking about buying this laptop now I know what to expect. thank you
Wow thanks for the awesome comment!
Consider that almost every laptop throttles now its how they handle the throttle is what you want to consider. Acer isnt the best or the worst, but they can compete so its a good product in my opinion.

you may need to undervolt this machine first, and 8GB of ram is pointless talking about it, at least 16GB of ram in dual channel is a sweet spot. Whenever you're playing Triple A's game, don't go for maxed out everything, this machine great enough to run those game at medium setting, and most of the game with high setting 1080p. Considered for it's price, this is great for it's value. I'm happy with this machine to date.
yeah true, acer is pushing some sweet deals.

@@iskender9854 Not at all. I maxed out the fans, and there you go. No thermal throttling seen. Otherwise you could always opted some other cooler pad or usb vaccum cooler or better yet, combining both of them.

I will say that I have this exact model and haven't had any issue with thermals. My unit runs freakishly cool even when running Cyberpunk on a mix of ultra, high, and medium settings at 1080 while maintaining above 40fps. I did go into the nitro sense software make sure the unit was set for high performance mode as by default it was set for power saving which did make a huge difference in performance. Mine was also a brand new unit and not a refurbished unit.
I have the RTX2060 version of the 2019 model with the 9300h, I don't have the frame drop issues you have but I have 32Gb ram. If you are noticing frame drops and are on battery, plug it in. If you still have your Nitro, get all the bios updates, this will help. The 2019 models run hotter, it helps to use a stand or even just raising the rear of the laptop about an inch to provide better airflow. I have 2 NVME drives and I have a SATA HD in the 2.5 bay, it is a great storage option for files that don't require speed.
Oh yeah the 2060 version is great, that added performance over the 1650 will be noticeable. also the ram upgrade super useful. I started using a laptop stand for all my machines now.
James you seem like a power user may I ask what brought you to my videos?
@@SERGE_Tech I just searched out the 9300 in the Nitro 5, I got the 9300/2060 from Acer in a closeout sale last month and I am still torturing it. Most of the videos show the I-7 version and it is good to see content for the I-5 version.
When I get this laptop I’ll add 8gb of ram and this will be so good 😊
true 16gb is kick ass
What ram did you add if you can can i please get a link?
Yeah, with 16gb will double even triple the FPS
@@RenZet21 but it has only 60hz display ? Right ?

Ryad Galib which ever laptop you choose... buy another stick of ram. It will make all the difference. Running in dual channel will give you major gains.

Extra Ram and SSD storage is a good idea it will speed things up. Although its not impossible doing work with the base model if you have the extra funds its a worth while upgrade.

One of my close friends just got this laptop recently and is really liking it. Although I personally feel that its config is a little weird I really like its upgradability options. His machine also seems to BSOD like hourly... We think it's bad gpu drivers as the error is bad_pool_caller, but with the pandemic we haven't yet been able to figure that out for sure.
Well I know its cooling is probably the worst a laptop has ever seen thats gonna be my guess since poor cooling can cause all kinds of issues but if its a driver issue you can try rolling back drivers or experimental driver or 3rd party drivers which ever and its possible it could fix it.

just bought this laptop off ebay for $550 yesterday (refurbished), they jacked the price up to $600 in 1 day. lol. i sold an acer nitro 5 AMD ryzen 2500u and amd 560x model for $450 and found this same laptop for 100 more than i sold my laptop for. this has biggest screen, bigger hard drive, better gpu, etc.
Sounds like you got a good deal.
Single channel or dual? I have the same laptop and I don't really have that much stutter on GTA V with dual channel 4gbx2 of Ram. Ultra settings is used btw.
in this one its single channel. Yeah I think duel might be able to help. I noticed it runs really well after i turn down AA.
No gsync because it doesnt connect directly to the 1650, it renders on the 1650 and merely passes through to the built in monitor
What exactly is the dilemma why don't they connect it directly?
What would it take for me to make you a subscriber, ill always be there for your tech needs :)
My guess, you want higher quality tech content, you seem to know a lot your self.
@@SERGE_Tech its likely cheaper for them to connect it to the integrated video port for the intel hd graphics than to run it off of the gpu itself, it also helps save battery life when it doesnt need to be used..
Which should I buy?
- Nitro 5 2018 Version with i7 8th Gen and 1660
- Nitro 5 2019 version with 17 9th gen and 1650
Please help, I am confused...

Wow kick ass video thanks for posting that, yeah if you can afford the newer one go for it but it wont be a deal breaker if you get the older one especially if you can save a little bit. However if you got the money the newer one has a bigger battery, more ports, newer cpu and better gpu, now both of these components are substainally better however they are decent improvements. Both machines are good this will depend on if you wanna spend a little more or not. Let me know if you have more questions and also let me know which one you picked!

PLEASE PLEASE HELP!! I recently just ordered this laptop for my ethical hacking class is this a good computer to start that on will it run the programs like Linux and for coding and stuff🥺
For coding and only coding?, if so this will run it pretty good.
If not mabe try a think pad, they are affordable and they are business orientated laptops.
Correct the Acer will do a fine job, it also have a dedicated gpu which will be useful if you plan on gaming. Will you be doing anything else on it? id say get it if you find one, getting a computer is getting harder and harder.

It should be good, 16gb is a fair amount if you ever decide you need more you can always add it on later, but overall 16gb is now considered the norm.

@@SERGE_Tech done 👍🏻 :d
Yo. Awesome review. I just got it brand new but Sadly, saw the review just after. I get the same fps drops occasionally. 60 fps to sometimes 5-9 fps. It's really debilitating. Also, disk usage shoots up to a 100% often making even the simplest tasks lag like crazy. It takes 7 seconds to open task manager.
You think adding another 8 gigs of ram and an m.2 ssd would help or should I send it back for warranty?
Try the ram upgrade first before sending it back but be careful because its easy to break it. if your version has the hdd replace it for an ssd the storage should not shoot up so high I think you are facing bottlenecks. What games did you had the performance drop in? I wanna make sure I help you right.

June 2020, is this still a good choice for a cheap gaming laptop? I can buy it for $675. Anything better for this price or lower? Purchasing it for my daughter who plays games like minecraft, roblox and similar. Looking for new laptop as hers is 4gb Acer and there is a game that requires 8gb. Any advice would be great.
Hey thanks for commenting actually I have some useful information to share with you. Have you tried to upgrade your daughters laptops from 4gb to 8gb? and even though a game says thats the minimum requirement its not always the case. Before you buy a laptop try to play that game that requires the 8gb on her 4gb machine and see what happens its possible it may run decent if not then try to upgrade the ram. If that doesnt help then get a new machine.
Its a lil confusing but sometimes the ram isnt the only thing to worry about. Sometimes you also have to worry about the gpu and cpu. Have you looked into these?
Standing by to help let me know if you have more questions?

Please reply i am planning to buy it..
2)And how much is the battery backup on normal use..
3) Does the laptop lags will playing games like gta v, cs, Forza horizon and other AAA title games ....
1. Yes its a cheap gaming machine, if you want something of higher build quality you will need spend $800-$1300 maybe even more. It is plastic and if it falls it will shatter, unlike metal which will take a dent.
2. on normal use you are looking at 3-6hrs.
3. it shouldn't lag unreasonably, but as long as the graphics are setup correctly and not maxed out but around the 75 percentile you should be good.

Hey Serge,
How do you consider heating problems in the model..Do u prefer it over ASUS tuf series
I would probably prefer MSI over Acer but Acer cooling appears to be better then ASUS tuff. Asus tuff cools decently on a desk but not as good on a lap, its because the intake vents are easily blocked with no redundancy. I think if you have your own reasons for liking it it may be fine but it seems gimped at least for the introductory models.

I am thinking of buying this laptop. It was a tough choice not going to lie. I was aiming towards Lenovo Legion y530 but it was a bit costlier with 1050 instead of 1650. So, obviously, I am planning on going with this one. (Also, this comes with international warranty)
I have couple of questions though;
1. There are 2 slots for RAM, as it comes with 8GB. Can I install a 16GB RAM and keep the 8GB as well, so that it amounts to 24GB? Or does it require same amount of memory? I have trouble understanding the dual channel single channel thing in RAM.
2. The M.2 SSD slots, how much is the capacity? Can I add 1TB M.2 SSD on both of them?
Answering your first question:
No, it won't work this way because it always has to be like 4+4/8+8/16+16/32+32

you should undervolt slightly on the cpu to help with thermals
a hate having to do that... cant they just undervolt it them selfs... I mean for christ sake they built the damn thing.
@@SERGE_Tech Manufactures tend to stick to the specs of chipsets or they may be liable. Undervolting is taking advantage of the range of specs a chip can work at, like over-clocking, but takes the chip outside its comfort zone. CPU and GPU will have a range which will differ for each chip based on quality and process. So, it would be nice if they undervolted, but then people would undervolt more and it will increase crashes.
You didn't actually do your research before your review, I can hammer mine maxed out and it has zero heat issues which is impressive

i believe your fps drops are software specific.
Hey thanks for sharing, I believe its the 8gb ram, once you upgrade to 16gb it pretty much fixes all issues. Now 16gb ram should be standard. Very glad you are enjoying your machine.

trust me 32gb is enough I opted for 64gb because I like to max out my potential but 32gb for content creation is really good. yeah its hard to find thunderbolt on entry level devices sometimes mid tier machines will have them but its mostly a high end machine that carrys thunderbolt.

awesome video man just subscribed. I want to buy this for small gaming like destiny 2 and free small games. Do you recommend this if I played on low quality? Does anyone know?
Glad you enjoyed the video! This will go even beyond small gaming, you should be good with destiny 2. Id recommend this on medium to high, if you run into some performance issues you can always get another stick of ram and upgrade it. Any other questions?
Just bought this 3 days ago and will get it this thursday. This was a great review, unlike some which just talks about the specs only, seems pretty solid! Though I might only be able to get away with 8gb ram total, I reckon that's good enough for games if set to low/medium settings?
I wouldn’t worry too much about the graphical settings start on high and if it lags reduce the graphics a bit but if after reducing it multiple times and your on low graphics seriously consider the ram upgrade or plan to get it.
I’m pretty sure you won’t have this problem with all games but there may be a few triple a title higher end games which may demand like 12gb ram. For now I think you are good :)

depends on what your planning on doing with this machine. Are you doing any kind of content creation or engineering or just gaming, also what games will you be playing?
@@SERGE_Tech no content creation, just work emails, rotas etc and football manager, age of empires, planet zoo??
I'm confused shall i go for this device or asus rog strix with same specs which one is better.... I just okay FIFA no other heavy gaming
Well the Asus I think is indeed better but if you find the Acer for cheaper price and all you play is FIFA get the Acer.
What's the battery life like if you're just using it for light work like word documents or web browsing? And how long can you get off wall for gaming?
off wall gaming is like 1-2 hours maybe 3 hours if your game is very low demand on the system like a civilization game.
document and internet browsing maybe 3-4hours.
on these kind of more affordable machines its hard to get good battery life. you could optimize the systems cpu ghz to .6 and then lower brightness and maybe get 8hours of usage.
I'm considering buying this laptop, will it run the current WoW
Yes it will run it quite well. Wow team spends a good deal of time to run it on igpu systems and these dedicated graphics cards should run quite well.

Hi Serge! I am planning to buy the Acer Nitro 7 which I just saw when we went to the mall yesterday. It's a core i5-9300 with a 4gb Ram and ready for a Ram upgrade. One thing I forgot to know is the screen refresh rate. It is advertised that it has 144hz but I think the one I saw only has a 60hz panel.
Does refresh rate matter? (I don't play much heavy games and I just want to play Dota 2 to at the highest settings possible lol)
Unfortunately it's not the core i7 variant
Hey thanks for the awesome question!!! nice your malls are open? Its ok if its not the i7 it doesnt do much for it if it was. The graphics chip is more important in this case.
Now for the refreshrate it actually is noticeable heres the thing if you never tried higher hertz then it wont matter to you, I say you can get the 60hz and it will be fine but if you ever try 120ghz or more its insanely smooth and awesome to game at those higher hertz. If your a serious gamer get the higher hertz it actually improve how you can and could even win you some games. It make me noticeably better at gaming, I went from being average to one of the best... pretty weird but its true.
I really hope you enjoyed the video! What other questions do you have?

@@SERGE_Tech I just bought my new Acer Predator helios 300 yesterdayy. I did a few research and Helios 300 seems to be the better choice :)) I got the RTX 2060 version with i5-9300H and a 120hz refresh rate. Plus I think it has a nicer look than nitro 7. I tried it on csgo and it went above 100fps UwU (above 200 on a lower graphics settings)
Btw thank youu Serge! Keep doing great videos man they help a lot! I can now enjoy my first ever gaming laptop
Yess malls are open! I'm from Philippines.
Dang dude that’s awesome really happy for you!!! I’ll see if I can review the Helios next.
Hey, I wanted to know where I could find RAM upgrades for this specific machine and how much ram you think is better for me to get, im a gamer so yh, but a budget gamer sort of.
DDR4L 16GB (8x2) Dual Channel 2666Mhz RAM
Hopefully you can help me bro I just got my Acer Nitro 5, 8GB Memory with a 1650 and I bought GTA 4 on steam but it won't let me load up the game and it's so frustrating. I can play Black Ops 1 and Far Cry 3 on it no problem... Hope someone can help me with this because it's frustrating since I'm new to PC gaming.. HOPEFULLY you can help me bro.

theres a pretty good deal for this laptop in my country right now i am probably gonna buy it. I think it will be best to buy another 8gb ram and it will be a great machine
Hi what country are you in and where is this deal? could be good for other viewers as well, purchase a link to the source after you purchase yours. Oh yeah with that extra ram you wont freeze up. Some games are really bad with ram management.
SERGE I’m in UK but it just went out of stock so i didn’t manage to get it 😔 I wonder if there will be a restock or it will just be replaced by 2020 version.
say i have a 16g ram but the GHz is like 2.60 or in the 1. range, will i have gaming issues with the GHz being that low even with 16g ram??..and how much does the machine being like an i5 or i7 matter with those actual specs???
It really shouldnt matter that much, the rule of thumb is if you have to ask it doesnt mater. Basically if you ran at 4ghz then yes you would get another 25% fps boost but most people dont care about that. Like I was gaming on a 10 core recently that boosts up to 5ghz, so there I can see a clear difference but most people dont notice a difference because they could hardly care.
2.6ghz is sorta on the lower end, your games will run great you will be fine but if you care about extra fps or extra smoothness you might not see it here all the time and its also video game specific because some games at 2ghz will run flawlessly while other like RUST may not run smoothly. It really depends on the Game and the system but also on you, how much do you really care to have the best performance? its sorta a hard question to answer, but for me I want the best possible machines, I recently used the alienware area51m r2 that thing has a desktop graphics card and desktop cpu inside its laptop form factor it is one insane machine and you can tell the difference.

is the msi gf63 with i5 1650 better than this?
im planning on buying a lap..
im stuck between the accer nitro 5 and msi gf63.. what would you recommend?
the msi one wont have alot of heat problems right?
Try gf75 9sc, with cooler boost 3, two fans, one for gpu, one for cpu
yeah go what you value more, the acer will have slightly better build but the msi will have better cooling just like sandro said. good luck!
Brother do u have to buy specific branding of ram or just any?
Highly recommend Samsung there modules have never given me any issues! here a link to one:

SERGE thanks for the help
SERGE that’s a sub from me
Is the acer 15.6 good? Has Intel Ci5 9300H/ 512 ssd/ 12 gb ram/ Nvidia GTX 1050 (I'm wondering if it can run apex and overwatch and maybe some other games and can also be good for business and school work on it)
Its actually good for all those things. Great questions keep them coming and sub if you are new to the channel! thank you!
Is this laptop good for music production?
Its pretty good you shouldnt have any issues, although the speakers somewhat underperform. Consider a macbook, compare the sound of both you will know who is the clear winner. The sound on the macbook is breath taking, cant believe how clear and loud it is, although its no acer with its superior gpu. Its a trade off for sure.
Im buying this for just university work and online lectures is it fast and worth it please answer ?
I’m not a big gamer but I would like to run maybe one or two games , but would this device be suitable to use with programs like Autocad, no 3D rendering , just 2D .
