Acer Nitro V Gaming Laptop | Intel Core i5-13420H Processor | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop GPU | 15.6" FHD IPS 144Hz Display | 8GB DDR5 | 512GB Gen 4 SSD | WiFi 6 | Backlit KB | ANV15-51-51H9

This laptop is great! I have been doing alot on it so far. It's boots pretty fast like 15 seconds before you're at the win 11 sign in screen, and games load up pretty fast, so far, the games I have been playing have been Destiny 2, Clair Obscure: Expedition 33, Hogwarts Legacy, 7 days to die, Doom: The Dark Ages, Stellar Blade Demo. I bought the i9 version with 1TB HDD, and 32GB of ram. I added a 2 TB HDD and upgraded the 32GB 4800MHz ram to the max 64GB 5200MHz ram and I have to say the improvement in gaming went from kinda wonky to smoothness. Also, I stream using OBS and Stream Elements streaming on both Twitch and Kick while connected via HDMI to 52 Inch TV while in a Discord voice chat with friends. Everything works great, and I have no complaints.I would suggest you get a cooling pad for the laptop it helps alot. The fans do get alittle loud but its expected if you know how big a RTX 4060 graphics card and how big the heatsink along with fan is on a i9 intel CPU, so ugh yea those fans going to blow like crazy, now what you could do in this case and look for the best type of none conductive thermal paste that can keep the processor and GPU cooler than the generic stuff they use and you might help those fans out alittle bit just do the research and I'm sure you'll find it. I would take caution on using liquid metal though. Find a pro if that's what you want to use otherwise there are a few other great thermal pastes that are available and easy to apply.Be sure to clean your vents and fans every 9 months to a year if you use your laptop alot, and to conserve battery life turn on battery saving mode in the Nitro software. Also make sure you make weekly if not daily backups of your OS just in case something happens and get rid of that Norton or McAfee Bloated Antivirus mess off the laptop, they are memory hog and cause more harm than good to your laptop, not to mention their software is highway robbery. Keep your Windows updated by doing software update checks in the settings weekly.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Very nice little gaming laptop. Let's go pros and consPros: Great price to performance ratioNice screen I personally think it's bright enough for meThe touchpad feels nice.Cons:The battery kinda sucksThe build of the machine is a high quality plastic However it does feel cheaper than some other gaming laptops I've used (Metal)The fans are really loud however I expected this pretty quiet when not under load. At least on arch Linux I don't use Windows.The speakers could be better.Overall I'd give it a 4.5 but I rounded up since that isn't an option. I'd say the speakers would be the best upgrade since the fan is loud.

Purchased this laptop new with Amazon Ada a birthday present for myself with money I had received. Upon Arrival laptop box was dented however the unit was unscathed. Plugged in installed Windows 11. installed all windows updates and Graphics Cards Updates and began gaming. At this point had only installed Opera Gx Old School RuneScape And later Far Cry New Dawn. 45 minutes into gaming playing old school the screen went black fans stills running keyboard and blue power indicator light on. No normal troubleshooting would fix this issue the only solution was hard reset by holding power button. I thought maybe an isolated incident so I tried again but the problem persisted. I reached out to Acer Customer Service Provided them with all necessary info they told me to factory reset the pc which I did however that did not fix the problem and 45 minutes into gaming black screen of death. I reached out to Acer support again they told me to try another game maybe it’s the game so I installed far cry new dawn a game that fall well below the specs in this system keep in mind this is a 13th gen I5 and 40 series gpu which should be capable of playing games in high settings minimum even triple A titles. Game experienced the same black screen except in 30 minutes this time. Acer Support called a third time as they told me to do trouble shooting and if problem persisted to call them back as they were in a hurry to get off the phone. I called back a third time and this time the agent told me I had to send in the unit for repair mind you I bought this laptop for the fall semester of college which was two weeks away. They told me the only solution for me is repair and that this could take up to 3 weeks or more and there was nothing more they could for me. I requested a manager call and was told I should bypass the repair and refund through Amazon essentially saying they want nothing to do with it. Lousy product Lousy customer service that does not stand behind their products and Amazon Refund actually makes me loses close to 90 dollars on the purchase of this laptop. As someone who an it and pc enthusiast do not buy from Acer look at the bad reviews and you will see a pattern of bad quality and bad customer service and don’t be fooled by the price. The color accuracy of the screen was horrible the ram was being utilized at 70 percent just running RuneScape and a web browser at the same time. Save your money and buy from a manufacturer that will I’ll resolve issues with their products and give a solution other than a 3 week lead time repair that doesent include the shipping process and 2 buisness days to get a shipping label. Will change review and update if reached out to by Acer or Amazon but not holding my breath thumbs all the way down shame on you Acer

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.
