      Design

      The Acer Nitro 5 keeps its more understated “gamer” look, with red highlights over the keyboard, lighting, touchpad and the main body. The machine feels sturdy enough, with plenty of ports to cover your needs. The keyboard is pretty comfortable too. The design won’t be winning any exceptional awards, and does give off a bit of that “cheap” feel, as it’s really easy to leave fingerprint marks over it.

      Keyboard and Ports

      Nevertheless, one of the  nicesst things about this machine is the keyboard. There’s nothing that actually stands out, but it’s comfortable to use and will work the way you want it to. The backlight isn’t very bright either, so it can be hard to see the keys in the dark. It will do the job, which is probably the most important thing.

      As for the ports, it comes packing with:
      • 2x USB 3.2 Gen 1
      • 3.5mm headphone and microphone jack
      • Ethernet (RJ-45)
      • USB 3.2 Gen 2 with USB charging support
      • HDMI 2.0
      • USB Type-C

      Audio and display

      At higher volume, the sound quality starts being echoey, but you can fiddle around with the Dolby Audio equalizer, though otherwise you shouldn’t be expecting high end surround sound. The display is 15.6 inches, with 1080p and high 144Hz refresh rate along with Acer ComfyView to reduce glare. The image will be clear and sharap, but at points it might seem too dim and may not be suitable for some users, like content creators.

      Performance

      For all intents and purposes, this Acer Nitro 5 is a budget gaming laptop, so don’t hope for thaat much. The hardware limits how much it can do at high settings for the newer AAA games, but still, it will do its best for the currently released titles! Check out the various benchmarks below:

      3D MARK

      PC MARK 10

      CINEBENCH

      PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds

      Running PUGB on Ultra settings saw a steady 30 FPS, which is respectable considering the hardware it’s running on. These settings won’t be used for any competitive play, with screen tearing, textures not rendering and an overall unsatisfactory quality. You’d best run PUBG on Medium in this case.

      Horizon Zero Dawn

      Once again on Ultra settings, the machine does its b est to run Horizon Zero Dawn, which is certainly a more demanding game than PUBG. It does have noticeable frame rate drops, making animations janky with the usual textures not loading among other issues, but it’s surprising thata it does run, with issues cropping up occasionally instead of just dying out.

      Project Cars 3

      Last but not least, is Project Cars 3 on its highest settings. The Nitro 5 performs excellently for the title; no frame rate drops or performance issues. Simulation titless like this would have no issue running on the hardware this machine packs.
      The basic summation of in-game performance is basically: you can play your AAA titles, but not on max settings.

      Cooling system

      The venting and fan cooling is great on this model of Acer Nitro 5, with the vents located on the back of the laptop. It’s still on the loud side, but does not massively disrupt unlike plenty of gaming laptops out there. It can also be adjusted to a certain level, using the Acer NitroSense program to change the fan speeds for the CPU and GPU. CoolBoost is also available to raise the maximum speed on heavy gaming sessions.

      Battery Life

      Compared to most budget laptops out in the market, the Nitro 5 has a relatively better battery life compared to its peers. You’ll expect low battery life for gaming laptops, and the Nitro 5 clocks in at 3 hours with non-stop video watching, but yes, that’s better than the rest available and will last that much longer when you find yourself needing to work outside.

      Verdict

      To be perfectly fair, this won’t be the gaming laptop of one’s dreams, but at a price point below RM5000, it does its best and there’s only so much you can ask for. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 is a pretty value GPU, supported by a good cooling system, comfortable keyboard, a high resolution display and relatively longer lasting battery.

      If you are one to demand the best performance, the Acer Nitro 5 AN515-44-R1AZ won’t be for you. However, if you’re a gamer on a budget, then yes, this will be one to consider. You can learn more about the line of laptops via the official website.
