Acer has been making pretty decent "budget" gaming laptops for awhile now, and the new Acer Nitro V seems like it could continue to be a solid option for people looking to game on the cheap. Alex is here to see if Acer's cuts make this a no-brainer purchase or a headscratcher.

To anyone from LMG - that trick, where the editor changed the saturation to show the effectively poor color space (6:28), was a neat way of visualizing a statistic that is often hard to wrap your head around real-world impact. Sure, it's not a lab-quality demo, but "your colors might look like this" computes a lot better in my head than "it has x% of color space coverage". Please do more of that. Little touches like that make the videos so much better.
Agreed, it's fast, to the point and understandable to 99% of the audience watching.
(Before anyone asks, the 1% I'd say is for the blind and severely visually impaired where visual demonstrations/examples aren't able to be taken in so easily but in comparison to what a lot of other creators and channels do, those examples are significantly better :) )
Yup .. that was brilliant.
Also Giving just 45% ntsc color space with 250 nits in 2024 should be a crime, the panels should be minimum 99% srgb atleast to be usable for watching content
Yes, I hadn't realized what it really means. I had assumed something like that the colors would be inaccurate, like always tinted somehow to look like different colors (e.g. like when the eye-saving mode has been turned to the maximum on a phone), but the demonstration made me see that it makes the picture look more like saturation had been turned down. Also, I realized that's how the screen on my Lenovo IdeaPad looks like after first using another computer for a while, and before getting again used to the IdeaPad's colors.
How would people that are already watching the video in a screen with poor color space? Would they see no change at all and not understand what is he talking about or would they think is even worst than it is?
This is a really, REALLY good value if you use it as a low-end desktop replacement and use it with an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse. It's similar to what I used to do. It's passable for occasional travel use, and has a good enough price-to-performance ratio WHEN ON SALE that it's a pretty good "beginner" laptop for someone who maybe doesn't really care about things like keyboard flex or bad speakers - and maybe they keep it plugged into a pair of speakers as well.
What price is good for this? $800?
@@Ben_Dover15Or less, yes. Best bet would be to buy the lower end model with the same GPU but less RAM and storage and upgrade that later on since everything else is the same.
"there is no wiggle"
*proceed to wiggle the whole keyboard*
There are worse laptops, the only laptops that won't flex are magnesium or aluminium laptops for example dell xps, macbook, thinkpad... gaming laptops flex like nobody's business
I bought an Acer Nitro 5 back in 2019--8th gen Intel, 1050 Ti, 8G RAM, 256GB SSD. First ever computer that was mine, beforehand I was using a 6 (8?) year old AIO PC that was dying. Got me started in my computer hobby.
Same
Saaameeeeee. got this very nitro 5 as mi first gaming laptop ever in 2018 but with HDD and optane. Was soo stoked, used the heck out of it. Poor thing ran at 99 degs for years without any issues, until i was able to sell it for $450 and get myself a rog strix g18 RTX4080 last year
I bought the same one! Got me into computers!
I recently got the Acer Nitro 16, which is this laptop, but better in every single way. Significantly better display at 1920x1200 165hz 99.8% SRGB Coverage if memory serves, better build, better keyboard, 90wh battery, waaaay better speakers, better camera and mic, Ryzen 7 7840HS, RTX 4060, still the same cringe stickers. So satisifed with it, fantastic laptop for the price
But how does the display affect the performance?
@@m.hreels9822 If it does, I haven't noticed it, it's still just FHD+ with better colour gamut. I can run Cyberpunk on ultra at 90fps. And personally, I'd rather have a significantly better display with 4fps less, than a god awful display with 4 more fps
What was the price?
@@THE-X-Force I got it at USD $1050 from Amazon, I hear it's currently selling at $999
@@Ehaeka Thanks for the info! ☮
The fact they played a bell sound when it hit Bell
Im pointing this out as I own this laptop that the speakers are very good, the problem is out of the box the dtsx ultra makes the audio preset to shooter config. The speaker are actually very loud and above average for the price that it was launched at atleast in my country. The LOQ is almost the same price here for the 3050 6gb and except for the MUX switch and better display, nitro is more of a value for money lap here. But got to say the LOQ is a very fine laptop.
I gotta say, the amount of great old days I'm having since Alex started hosting videos really skyrocketed
I'm a fan of the Acer Nitro series. They have quietly been the low key best cheapie gaming laptops since about 2016 or so. Best bang for the buck at their price point especially if you go for a well equipped slightly older or refurbished model. Some corners are cut like not having a very rigid body and not the best viewing angles on the screen but overall they are one of the best deals in gaming not just gaming laptops.
That's what I did with my Lenovo loq last year I got the 8 GB one with a 13th Gen I5 a 1tb SSD and a 3060 and got a 32 gig ram kit at a later date all in all I spent 800 bucks total on it and couldn't be happier with the product
I recently purchased a nitro5 with a 3070ti and the amd 6800H currently waiting for it to be delivered paid about 1100usd after tax can't wait to absolutely send it with my sim. It is the replacement for my broken g15 advantage that died after the mobo got damaged
I think The LOQ from Lenovo is a better option for the overall improvement of the Performance. like having a mux switch and advanced Optimus, and for the budget option we can get the 3050 6gb vram variant for a lot cheaper if you don't want to game intensely. more solid build quality the keyboard is better and not so gaming looks. personally i have the intel 3050 variant and its always running quiet when i code or browsing with 20 chrome tabs open and while gaming the laptop is not getting really high temps and hover between 70-80 ish while running AAA games.
I completely agree with you, and that's why I bought Lenovo LOQ customised version.
Lenovo really stepped up their game
do not trust acer! failure rate is high!
Does it have thunderbolt ?
@SkyMina_ No, but it has usb 3 gen 2 with DP 1.4 and PD 140w.
I do like the fact that the laptop does have a numpad, i cant live without one. But i think that the absence of a numpad LED to indicate if its on or not should be a more talked about feature. laptops still have it but its only in very specific ones that are either really expensive and impractical. Or really cheap ones that dont have the performance needed
6:25 that "trick" right there was great to show why not to get a device with a low color range display if you don't really have to / if you can afford anything better, so thanks a lot
Speaking on the LOQ discount at the end. I just picked up the higher spec version at $999 a couple weeks back. Same i7 CPU as that nitro has but has the RTX4060 instead. Its also got a way more accurate screen and a much more solid keyboard (as to be expected from lenovo/IBM).
Would recommend for anyone looking for a decent laptop to blow a grand on.
Wait what's the name of the model?
@@TheKris916 apologies it's with a ryzen 7 instead.
It's the LOQ 15APH8
My Nitro 5 2023 (yes the number not V. Not sure if thats a different model) has a 4050, now with 32gb ram, a 2 tb ssd and a 1 tb ssd. Core i5-12500h. Looks nothing like this inside and runs alot quieter while in default mode. On performance its loud, but it doesnt improve much so never use it.
Works great for the Sony games i play on it. I also play it on my 65" tv. Usually 2k. Im happy with it for now.
This space is very competitive, bought an omen 16 4050, 13420, 16 gb variant for 750 on sale(hp equivalent to the lenovo) and it's great. Only gripe is the single ssd slot, and 512 storage. But for 750$ its been a steller travel computer, when im not gonna cart around my pc.
I recently got a Acer Nitro 5 with i7-12650H 3070Ti rest almost similar specs except its 1440p and has a 280w adapter. Overall like it as it, i decided on 3070ti over 4050 with 13th gen i7. The screen is okish., but is worth the value.
I remember when my sister and I went to Best Buy to get work laptops and were looking for something in the $450 range and we saw Nitro 5's for about $600 with dedicated graphics cards and we decided to just do that and it was fantastic. Nitro 5's were and still are excellent intro level budget friendly PC gaming.
Watching this on my old acer nitro 5 with i7 8750h and gtx 1060 6 Gb. It still works fine. After undervolting of course.
Im a noon to this stuff, i just bought the same one as featured in the video but it has a i5 instead. I bought it for college and occasional gaming. What do i need to download or youtube as far as throttlestop and undervolting etc
that note about the air exhaust is an acer thing, I had a spin 3 for school and it was the same story, though in fairness that was a 360 hinge so any rear exhaust would have interference sometimes
My Acer Nitro AN517-55 with a i7-12700H, RTX 4060, 16GB RAM & 144Hz works soo fine :D
I went from an Asus tuf 15 inch, fhd, 3060, 12650h to an Acer nitro 16, 165hz QHD+ 500nit, 4070, 7940hs. I was worried about the acer while awaiting delivery cause yeh, its a budget brand but I love it. The built-in 1TB NVME is outperforming the 2TB Samsung 980 pro by a couple percent, screen is amazing, thermals good, quiet as heck on balanced where I leave it. Camera and speakers are meh. I never use the trackpad. For the sound I had to KILL the DTS, it was unusable while DTS was running, even with my DT 770's, uninstall that immediately. Hinge is way better than the Asus tuf too.
You think i believe a gaming laptop nvmeis beatingthe world's best nvme, 980 pro?
I had to kill DTS too because it was using 2gb of ram, did yours came with a single stick of ram included?
No wonder it's better - better Model to start with and without the crap Intel sells these days.
Acer can actually build good laptops - but quality comes at a cost, even with them.
This is exactly like my MSI Katana 15. 13620h, RTX 4070 in mine, the display is "ok" at 1080 165hz / 60hz, the battery is 1.5 hours give or take, and its loud when the fans are running. But hey for portability, I cant complain. It's cheap and compromised in acceptable ways (as long as you are aware before buying). If I wanted quieter fans and a better display, I'd have a 17-18 inch gaming desktop-replacement.
I daily drive a nitro 5 for school, I have a pc for gaming but this thing crushes 3D modeling. Honestly for a powerful laptop that's cheaper than some other thinbook trash, it's great priced and honestly one of the most repairable machines I've encountered. I also just have throttlestop for the noise just in case I'm not doing something intense.
I bought this for college, occasional gaming, what exactly is throttlestop ? Could you explain how i do that? Or something i could youtube for that
bezels with some screen all in a 20 kg package that you have to deadlift everytime you want to charge the 15 mins battery
i got one last year on sale at best buy for $500, (2022 model, N22C2) and honestly i love it, the only thing i would change is put the usb ports on the left so they arent in the way of the mouse. But as a regular consumer, just a great laptop, and easy to take apart, all the screws on the bottom are the same size, the two m.2 slots are easy to get to, so is the ram and the battery, and it just performs great even if the fans are a bit loud sometimes (edit after watching video) wow the insides look a lot different, the keyboard on the 2022 isnt very squishy at all especially at normal typing pressure, for audio the 2022 to me sounds just fine, better than the hp, toshiba and asus laptops ive had in the past, i think youd like the layout of the 2022 one a lot more, and for $500 for a slightly older one with an i5 and a 3050, you cant really beat that imo
I own 3 acer laptops (Nitro 5 2020, Predator Helios Neo 16, Aspire 5 2022), and i can tell you this laptop uses the aspire line chassis, so basically its a thin and light packed with entry-mid tier hardware branded as a gaming laptop. if you can spare just a little bit more cash then you should go for the Nitro 16 instead, which shares chassis with the Neo 16, giving it much more thermal headroom, and so power to the components
Acer Nitro v is the best price to
Performance in India
Predator Helios Neo 16 comes in second place
How is your experience with them
I have owned a Skylake-era Nitro V and was very happy to get away from that to a proper desktop PC. This version looks much improved already. Sad to see the colour performance of the screen is just as terrible though. Also, I don't know how it is with this one, but on slightly warmer days, my left hand got absolutely cooked by the GPU/heatpipe that apparently was right under WASD.
I own a 2019 Nitro, the 60 hz display one with a 1650. It's a great machine for the price I paid new (500$ CAD), the downsides are the bezels, quite big (got used to it), the weight, the battery and the screen which has burn in problems.
Even after Acer supposedly replaced my screen, this problem came back and I now have to deal with it since it's outside my warranty window. Also, the back cover had the plastic break off due to the heat. It's toasty, don't put it on your lap.
I wish that the back cover has been upgraded to something a bit more durable, even more so around the Ethernet Jack and the back screw holes.
The power brick is chonky as hell, it's painful to carry in a backpack with the laptop, so beware, considering it didn't change. My next purchase will definitely be something lighter with a discrete GPU, considering I need it for work.
The battery is horrendous down the line though. You have to be plugged in 80% of the time, it even drains quite fast while turned off.
i have a nitro 5 (bought in 2021) with 11400h and 3050, never expected it to run 60+ fps with cyber punk at low settings. never had an issue till this day
I'd also disagree with his assessment on the keyboard/trackpad (at least compared to my older unit). The keyboard is actually fine to type on for me, the track pad I don't like at all. It has the clicky buttons under the track pad and often I will intend to click one side and end up clicking the other. For navigating the screen space it's fine, but the "mouse" buttons are pretty awful.
There were a couple other people who said last year's model was fine, seems they dropped the ball this time though. It did look pretty squishy.
keyboard didn't feel too awful to me but maybe I was keeping my expectations too low. @@Dan-Simms
I was between the victus 15 and the acer nitro 5, hp victus was on sale at $600 (USD) core i5 13 gen + 8gb ram + rtx 3050 6gb, I was surprised by the build quality, I see they are reviewing mid-budget laptops , I would love for you to give it a chance to check it out.
We have standard i7 ThinkPads at my company for general Microsoft Office type work. We've got T490-T14 Gen 4 types primarily. Pretty standard work stuff. The Intel models often sound like they're about to lift off even when they're sitting idle. Intel is hot. 🤷♂️
matt house
Iris is just not what you need, just enough to run Windows 11, Office levels only, nice for browsing the internet.
tnx for giving perspective on the saturation.
I always appreciate Alex saying "Have a great 'ole day". Just wholesome. Thanks mate, you too.
I still have an old Nitro 5 Spin 2-in-1, and would dearly love and updated version with a 4060... Sadly i don't think anyone is making such a device at the moment...
Can you do a video on Lenovo LOQ as well? The one with same specs or Ryzen CPU.
For the same price, get a MSI prestige 16 studio, RTX4060 with miniLED monitor 165Hz
But msi tho
@@agumon1605 msi is better anyways

@@MikeCriticalOps Wait for the OMEN, needing a good system ;)
love that it has a numpad...but can laptop manufacturers stop squishing up/down into a single key space, or at least make left/right half height as well so all arrow keys are consistent!
The thunderbolt port should be attached to a mux instead of a display port, so you can just get a type c display cable and should be sorted for optimus
I use my alienware x17 for VR. and the displayport is required to connect to the headset. Its only mini on the X17 but adapter or cable is cheap enough.
when you have a laptop with a pretty bad screen like this the best you can do is play with the saturation gamma and other stuff to get a way better picture even if the color accuracy is still going to be bad
Can you test the Acer Nitro 16 as it has good specs.
Bro I would love to hear you saying tecnical words for the problem with the exaust to the screen!
I was looking for a gaming laptop, this is very convenient
What was the software used for the display color test? I wanna try it on my current laptop
Good day, just want to ask is there any other laptop unit with the same price but better?
Nitro 5 user for 4 years now, I've had nothing but dissapointments with it since I got it. I've had driver issues, screen issues, cooling fans started making weird noises, had to get them replaced, my GPU short-circuited for some reason, so I basically use it without the GPU right now. Only game it runs is Minecraft with no shaders at 50-60 fps. It gets incredibly hot. Voltages across the motherboard are messed up making it a fire hazard. I'll probably use it for another couple of months and get rid of it, hopefully zephyrus prices reduce by then...
12:50 With the experiences I've had of the Acer Nitro 5 line in the past, I would be more shocked if the speakers were actually good.
I bought this laptop for 75.5k INR which would be around 900USD which is actually a really good price considering the Indian market. Also I have the 13420H version with the 4050. Still I can Alex's review is pretty accurate but this laptop is pretty good enough for me. Except that the fans are loud and the keyboard backlit can't be left turned on forever and the display is kinda meh. Other than that great laptop considering in my country at this price getting a 4050 is rare and I bought this laptop especially for that 4050.
That was a shit deal,the 3060 is better and like 5- 7k less expensive, so you paid a whole 5-7k for dlss 3?

as a nitro 5 2022 owner i say: it is certainly worth it. For best performance while being quiet i use throttlestop and for average high sound quality fxsound gaming profile. Best price-to performance ratio amongst budjet gaming laptops in 2022. Pls review some more nitro products as they are kinda forgotten right now.
I just bought this, what exactly is throttlestop, how do i install this, when would i use it etc
@@FragranceFrontier throttlestop is a free program used to prevent ur cpu/gpu from overheating because at 89-90 degrees performance is noticably cut down by the system itself. It works great for most games but some like Horizon it NEEDS to be disabled. Every cpu is different so u should research urs and find best parameters. It is strongly recommended to install fxsound and make it to gaming preset. It is balanced and works for music and games.
Under that budget I prefer to go to lenovo. Better keyboard and sturdier chassis, also with better cooling configuration. I'm still rocking my $750 2022 ideapad gaming and all is fine, added a decent $100 monitor recently and it's much better than I ever anticipated
Could you guys please do an explainer on colour coverage etc? I find the different standards and coverage completely baffling.
I think Alex was a bit harsh on the nitro 5, I purchased the 17.3inch screen at Christmas and it's great! Been thrashing it with cyberpunk all day and no problems and it's upgradable memory/SSD easy to add more, also the screen brightness was fine had to turne it down, ok the 17 is more expensive but not crazy price like the laptop Alex was comparing it 2
Hell yeah, just found this model you are talking about with the 4060 at a local tech store for under $1K
Does this nitro v is better than lenovo loq 15irh8 i5 12th gen and rtx 4050? Thanks for the answer ♥️
Random thought, I hope that tv in the background isn’t an OLED. Looks like an LG C3 to me at quick glance. Not 100% static image, but enough that I worry about the red pixels
Wait how did you turn off the keyboard lights so I can save power, been trying to find out how
Gamedev here. The "enhance pointer precision" thing hasn't been a thing for more than a decade now. Games use raw pointer data since the moment microsoft allowed us to do it easily. The last game where this had an effect that I remember was Far Cry 2 and CoD4 (the original)
Do NOT buy one of these. I have an Acer Nitro AN515-57 and I've been very disappointed with it. The screen is quite dark. Even at max brightness it appears dim and I often times have to check that it's turned up all the way. There is not nearly enough difference between max and minimum brightness. The speakers are down firing and quiet. Battery life is garbage. I also had my bluetooth and wifi decide it didn't want to work for an entire month last year. It just quit working one day out of the blue. I had to buy a wifi dongle and wired headphones. Somehow it miraculosly started working again. I will never buy another Acer product again. Had a Lenovo Legion before this and honestly wish I had shelled out a little extra and gotten another one of those. I may still do that.
I own one and I completely agree with you
I literally just got one last week the battery life lasts me 4 hours on battery saver mode and I only use it on a external monitor
Womp womp mine works fine lol but if yall don’t want yalls just give it away
The AN515-57 seems to be among the most defective nitro model out there. I have seen only a handful complaining about -58, mine is working fine as well.
I think you are talking about acer nitro 5. I am planning to buy it, is it really that bad? Do you think it makes more sense to buy an asus tuf with rtx 3050 instead? Because it has the rtx 4050 that I want to buy.
Man this ticks every boxes for cheap gaming laptop, horrible screen, bad keyboard, unusable speakers, thick and massive and the loudest thing possible in your classroom. This is your run of the mill college student's gaming laptop😂
I'm surprised they're still making this line. I have a V-Nitro in the bedroom for my bed...room pc. Slapped 64GB in it and 2TB NVME, and good to go. Also still has that one Thunderbolt 3 port. NEAT... It's good for what I use it, in there. Just need to get a new battery since that one is totally dead and it's rocking a 960M but the cooler 4GB variant instead of the 2GB standard. I don't play games on it, so the speed is more than enough. Rocking a core i7 6700HQ. And as a benefit, can't get Windows 11.
I have a similar g75v asus rog with that cpu and a 980m 4gb vram. Slapped 32gb ram and 2tb ssd as well. Good 17" screen and I have played r6 siege, cod, fortnite, etc etc... works just fine even being that old.

Hi .... I have Acer Nitro 5 with a Nvme hard drive from the factory . But wen i try to start from the power button , it comes a black screen with any logo , but just black screen . I can not see even the mouse . But if i change another driver , all works fine . Do you think my original Nvme hard drive is already dead ???
Bought 2 of these 5 years ago, one 15" and one 17", they were really good value for money. The chassies were horrible, a lot of flex but I just changed the RAM and SSD and they were unbeatable at 1000€ and just below the higher end gaming laptops at 2000€ at the time.
Edit: in terms of raw performance, not talking about the speakers (still crap) and screen (meh)
Got the previous model with the 12700H and 4060. This new one doesn’t have a 2.5” slot inside
Hey man I am surprised you haven't looked at the predator helios 16 and the predator helios neo 16 the newer models
Went through three of these things, with one being warranted once. The GPU simply didn't last on any of them and /something/ cooked despite the GPU temp showing acceptable ranges... since all three failed from the GPU throwing artifacts. The fact that all /three/ failed just outside of the 1y warranty was also a tad sketch... One I could see, but not three with each dying within 1-2 months of each other.
I just can't recommend them for laptops at all. "You get what you pay for" as the saying goes....
Again with the coolers together? They already made that error before!!
Having non-standard 3 columns Numpad: Weird, but kinda win.
Having half size up/down arrows: Fail.
i have a nitro 5, and i LOVE it, after i upgraded the ram and m.2 hehe
I got the lenovo legion 5 slim with the 4060 for $899. Very happy with it
No way unless it is used or black friday sale
As a owner of 2019 Nitro 5, I must say it's a great laptop with two 2 major cons-
1) Keyboard is trash
2) Unnecessarily large.
My hinge broke once but other than that it's a great laptop considering the price I paid and the performance I get.
Hey @ShortCircuit , please compare its display, keyboard, I/O layout and cooling solution with my old laptop - Acer Aspire 7 A715-42G, my 630$ laptop

I guess they didn't want some sort of overheating issue if the system was super hot and then the power cut.
I got the Lenovo legion 5 (gen6), at 1400 € , it has ryzen 7 5800H, RTX 3070 laptop, 2x8 ram at 3200, and 512 nvme,
what do u think about the quality/price ratio guys ?
Micro-Center has the Acer Nitro 17 with a 4060 for $1k US right now.
Just format the *NVme* drive, install *Win10 lite* then *undervolt CPU/GPU* less noise, lower temps
Bro rough with that box the first 5 secs when he slammed it down
TUF A16 with Ryzen 7735HS/7940HS and 7600S/7700S this laptop's value killer IMO.
I have a10th gen version and I love it.
Bro that keyboard was like a trampoline lol
The resale value on that will have a tough time maintaining $500 usd on marketplace in like a month
This is not a nitro 5 buts its actually the nitro v (the letter V) which is why the logo is unique to this laptop
Found a store nearby with the 17 in stock, big screen, good specs, the 4060, and extra space for upgrades.... Under $1K 👍
I have the 17 inch nitro 2023,at 1000 dollars it does have Optimus, with the 4060 and 165hz miniled
I bought a nitro v15 with an i5 13th Gen and rtx 2050 for $130 + tax. Essentially looks brand new
The acer Nitro 5 was my first gaming laptop with a GTX1650ti and an i5 10300H.
Would you recommend?
Is there laptop where there touch numpad and symbol keys on the right side of laptop ?
I primarily play Roblox and nothing really else. I wasn't looking for anything too mad since I'm under a budget, and anyways, anything too powerful would be overkill. This is one I've been looking into for a while now, and judging by this review, it seems to do the job. Good review 👍🏾
Note: Most computers can run roblox well enough, but in order to maximise your performance in more intense games, you're gonna need something like this
Enhance mouse precision slows down the speed of the cursor I think.
My new acer v 15 laptop is not working after in boxing even with charger plugged
Any help please?
is there a link for websites in Canada?
tbh most budget gaming laptops do not have 100srgb color raing, most have around that 60% mark and 45% ntsc
You don’t need to turn off Mouse Acceleration in Windows anymore, because all games use RAW INPUT nowadays. So it ignores the windows setting
Not all games unfortunately so it's still good to turn it off for the odd game that doesn't automatically do it, can't think off the top of my head but theirs a few games I play which don't have raw mouse Input as an option and don't do it as default and It actually took me awhile to figure out it was the mouse enactment setting (as I didn't know it existed)
