@Aryan Marwaha do it!!!! its just as powerful as similar 3070ti Rog Strix and Msi Raider for $500-$600 less. (I have tested the strix with 3070ti, and it puts on the exact same performance numbers with 150watt gpu) 1440p 165hz 3ms monitor is amazing too( and that's from me also owning a 0.5ms as well). The only downsides are that you must crank the fans to stay cool, and those fans are LOUD. Also, to get full power, you must restart the computer to enable/disable GPU only mode.
Yeah got one as well... for the price its great but I would pay a bit of a premium for a similar specced legion but not 300 more haha... only real thing I would have liked is a 16:10 aspect ratio that the legion and the lenovo tuning software and bios is better but for 970 I can't complain too much.
I have a question about the 2:25 USB-C port with power delivery. If you got a very powerful 200W+ adapter for USB-C cables, could you charge it with it? Or is the power delivery only from the laptop to the external monitor (i.e. the monitor gets powered by the laptop and doesn't need an extra cable to power it)? And an unrelated question, do you have any reviews coming up for AMD 7000 series laptops? Or will they come between March and June? (I hope you can talk about future reviews even if the laptops themselves are under NDA :D )
USB-C power delivery maxes out at 135W for now and can vary wildly between devices, so your mileage may vary. We have some devices incoming, but I can not give you any details about when we will be able to publish our reviews! Just subscribe so you do not miss them ;)

I bought the new one with the Ryzen 9 6900HX + 3070ti . I confirm that the system is really nice. I confirm that the fans are very loud and temperature rises quite quickly when doing 3D rendering but it might be that I'm just used to work with a Desktop PC and never had a machine this powerfull before.

I bought it for about the same price (1100 USD) and it runs everything in 2k, Warzone, Fortnite everything you want, it's really worth I love my nitro 5 ❤
I am actually not quite sure. On the Intel version we have tested, there is a second NVME slot: www.notebookcheck.net/Acer-Nitro-5-AN515-58-review-Fast-QHD-gaming-notebook.624695.0.html
This AMD model(AN515-46) has a second m.2 SSD slot but according to the documentation it's only a PCIe 4.0 2X which means that it's only able to go up to 3,940MB/s. The main slot is PCIe 4.0 4x taken up by a Micron 3400 m.2 SSD (6600 mb/s read) that is nearly identical to a Crucial P5 Plus.
Thats a tough one, for performance definitly the Nitro and when it comes to build quality I would say they are tied. Me personally, I prefer the design of the Legion.
@@NotebookcheckReviews good to know, I thought Gsync only worked via display port? Asking as I have an old Acer predator 4k monitor with Display port 1.4
My solution is repaste the stock thermal paste with Honeywell ptm 7950 or TFX/SYY-157/NT-H2/TF8 ( spread ), when gaming set the fan to 4500-5000rpm is enough.
Hey! i bought this laptop but i have an issue about the sound quality out of the box is pretty bad. may i know how to fix it? is it a hardware or software issue?
Looking at all the options but have my eye on a legion 5i pro i7 3070ti for £1499 (new). Is there others I should consider or should I just pull the trigger?
Then I would probably take those into consideration as well. You will not get a crazy amount of additional performance, but if you can get the newer platform for the same or a little bit more, then that is what I would do!
@@NotebookcheckReviews I ended up getting a good condition but no box Acer Predator Helios 300 (2022) with bigger 17" screen (3070ti and 12th gen i7) for £1250. I've seen people say that year they were a lot more competitive with the legion 5i pro? wasnt feeling going down to a 16" screen but it was new and boxed for only £250 more. Did i make a mistake?
I just ordered this laptop and I'm excited to use it for starfield. What do you think the FPS I could get for a game like Starfield? Just curious. Also, should I be worried about overheating? I got one of those fan pads to use while I play for long hours. Love your videos man and thanks for any responses :)
help.bethesda.net/#en/answer/60442 These are the official system requirements, so you should have a good time with the Nitro. I cant wait for this game myself! I hope its going to be good! #fingerscrossed
I bought this for Starfield as well but this thing is a crazy Jet Engine on Fire. Like he mentioned you need a good headset to dampen the sound of dual 7000 rpm fans in Performance Mode. Make sure to turn the MUX mode on in NitroSense(Discrete GPU Only) to turn the AMD iGPU off for a 10-15% FPS boost. Example FPS running 1080p ULTRA in Cyberpunk with no DLSS/FSR is 89 FPS AVG and CPU Temp stays around 85c w/ GPU around 70's.
@@_ghr0_ I ended up returning it for a M16 R1 Alienware because of the CPU temp issue. You're probably good but 85c is what I was getting for a simple game like Valhiem and even got up to 90c. I know AMD chips will crash once they hit 95c. It just worried me a little since the rule of thumb is 80 to 85c is bad for the CPU long term.
@@MrThemateusize AMD processors generally do run warmer than Intel processors but Intel processors can get hotter. On my Alienware which has a I9 runs in the 70 to 80c while playing Starfield. It depends on so many factors though not just the CPU.
I've a question, my cpu heats up when gpu temps are high regardless of cpu usage. For example of gpu rises to 80c then cpu goes up as well even if its a 10% usage. I've 12650h and 3070ti nitro 5
should i buy this laptop for 1300 pounds? it's the i7 version and i would normally go with the lenovo legion 5i rtx 3070 ti because it's quieter but because of the laptop being out of stock should i go for this laptop?
If you perform the IMON tweak on the nitro 5 then it can start trading blows with the MSI raider series since the CPU and GPU won't be limited by dynamic boost and can boost as high as possible. The 280w brick is capable of handling this load and the motherboard is robust enough to handle this extra power too.
Can you please confirm that the Type-C port in this supporting USB4 Standard? Also, if yes, please let us know if it can be paired with newer thunderbolt accessories and gpu dock.
How about this Acer vs MSI Cyborg with RTX 4060 and i7-12650H. I'm wondering if I can use an external ultrawide monitor with it? Since the latter only has a DP in its USB-C Gen 1. I'm using the lap for training AI mostly.
Hi you mentioned that the battery lasts for 384 mins but mine is barely crossing 90 mins on normal usage on optimus mode what can i do shall i claim warranty i know it's normal for gaming laptops to have worse battery life but less than 2 hours is very very low.

It is only really loud in performance mode. In the balanced mode, which gives you almost the same performance, it is much more reasonable and very competitive.
It comes down to what you prefer personally. The TUF looks a little cleaner and should also be a bit slimmer and lighter, and you get the latest RTX 4000 features. The Nitro will have more pure CPU grunt and, of course, a higher res display.
I want to buy a gaming laptop, but I can't make a choice of which one to buy. I have an option to buy acer nitro 5, ryzen 7 6800h, rtx 3070 ti (150w), 16gb 2.5k display 1tb nvme and lenovo legion slim 5 i5 12500h,rtx 4060 (115w), 16 gb, 512gb nvme.

Hey so currently looking at this laptop 3070 TI version and the Asus ROG Strix Scar 15 either 3080 300hz or the 3070 TI 1440p. But the thing is this one is like $400 cheaper than both of those with basically the same specs and has double the ram and storage than the ROG Strix Scar.. not sure what to buy or why the Scar is like $400 more any opinions?
Damn so last night I ordered the (on sale at the time for $949) nitro 5 2023 I-5 12500h, 4050 6gb, 16gb ddr5, FHD, 512gb nvme. After I ordered I saw this mfer for $999 on sale!!! Buying this at $999 with the 6800h 3070ti and it’s QHD, same ddr5 ram, 1tb nvme. I was like no ducking way!! So I canceled that order from new egg and bought this thing. He did say it’s FHD in the video but apparently mine is QHD 165 hertz. I feel like Best Buy fucked up!!! I honestly am no even confident it will be QHD or have a 3070ti or 1tb nvme lol! However I have screen shots and I will expect them to honor the price I saw and paid for the specs advertised on their website. Guess I’ll find out when it comes on Friday. I’ll repost if it’s all legit. I’m assuming it’s overstock or something cuz it’s supposed to be $1300…. 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️. Btw If ya don’t believe me go check their website, I was shocked.
@@NotebookcheckReviews oh yeah man, I canceled the 4050 Intel i5 for this 3070ti 6800h, ordered it yesterday at noon right after I canceled the order. Free shipping got it today by noon lol. The thing is a beast!! The screen is sooo much better and I can always upscale/dlss for better fps or even just drop down to 1080p in certain games. The color gamut is much better on this display, they are rich and deep, compared to faded like. Super glad I got this one. I’ve just basically set it all up today and got it all up to date as I’ve been busy until 9pm, but I’m so pumped to see how this thing plays. Btw it did come with everything advertised, the keyboard is actually pretty damn clicky and responsive as well, and the power brick is a 280w brick, and is pretty damn big lol. I’ve seen people say these werent made in 2023, everything I’ve read says this came out in Feb 2023, at least with this exact configuration I got, my packaging with the warranty stuff, says Manufacture date 2/13/2023 fwiw. So they are still making them new and yes this thing is def brand spanking new, all original packaging. Complete fresh install of windows, had to wait a while to get to set up, compared to when it’s a reset Pc and the set up pops up instantly for windows. So fwiw they are still making these into 2023 for now at least.
For people that read my original comment, this deal is legit, I received this laptop 2 days early (literally in 24 hours), and it is exactly as advertised, unreal price right now. I would not wait if you are in the market for a solid gaming laptop that isn’t going to cost $2500. What a deal this thing was, and it does have mux switch just manual no advanced Optimus but I’m ok with that lol. Please if anyone has questions I’ll gladly answer, so stoked about this one!!
@@NotebookcheckReviews btw that was all after I bought an opened box nitro 5 that had a 3050ti and I-5 12500h with 16gb of ddr4 ram, didn’t come with a charger, so adding that in I basically paid full price for a used item. Anyway it ran games ok but only had 4gb of vram and I was up into the $800-$1000 price point anyway, so I brought that back a week later, then ordered from new egg, then cancelled, then ordered the one I have now. Yes so it was quite and adventure lol.
@@doubleshot9448hey bro, how’s the experience been with this laptop? I assume you must have tested it thoroughly by now. I’ve also ordered one from best buy, the only thing that I am getting skeptical about is the processor. Is it good enough?
It is manageable, especially in the lower performance modes and on battery. Just do not play games in the highest performance levels, and you should be fine! ;)
Hey man, apparently there is a way to lower the cpu temperature without losing a noticeable amount of fps. Check out "how to disable turbo boost for better cpu temperatures", it may help you with 10 to 15°C less at this model
I'm not convinced, the part of laptop that Acer can control doesn't seem premium, price does. Lenovo, MSi, HP seem to do it better... I still prefer my Switch for gaming so what do I know.
I mean correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't the acer about 300-500usd cheaper than the same spec from lenovo msi hp etc? Guess the difference comes from the feel of the build
@@ddotmars ive had the 1650 one for a around 4 and a half years, Its seen some performance decrease over the years but the fan noise is absolutley atrocious as always.
I have the 2021 model of this (AN515-45) w/ 5600h & RTX 3060 with the same cooling system. If you run laptops unhinged in performance mode at 95c all the time it's gonna kill the lifespan. I capped mine to 3.5Ghz to make sure the CPU doesn't go past 81/82c at max load and it only decreased my FPS in Cyberpunk by 1 avg while also improving my 1% lows drastically making the game smoother. This also effects the GPU temp because the pipes are connected and my GPU is commonly 65c at 100% load. Companies want you to run in these high end modes without warning so you can buy a new computer more often..

@ 6:25 does it mean we cannot put another ssd on this machine??
I am actually not quite sure. On the Intel version we have tested, there is a second NVME slot:
www.notebookcheck.net/Acer-Nitro-5-AN515-58-review-Fast-QHD-gaming-notebook.624695.0.html
This AMD model(AN515-46) has a second m.2 SSD slot but according to the documentation it's only a PCIe 4.0 2X which means that it's only able to go up to 3,940MB/s. The main slot is PCIe 4.0 4x taken up by a Micron 3400 m.2 SSD (6600 mb/s read) that is nearly identical to a Crucial P5 Plus.
this or a 2021 Legion 5 (5800 + 3070) for the same price? is it build quality vs performance?
Thats a tough one, for performance definitly the Nitro and when it comes to build quality I would say they are tied. Me personally, I prefer the design of the Legion.
Do you know if Gsync will work with an external monitor via min display port or the usb c port?
I will double check, but since the USB-Cs are not directly wired to the dGPU, I think the only way to get Gsync is via HDMI.
@@NotebookcheckReviews good to know, I thought Gsync only worked via display port? Asking as I have an old Acer predator 4k monitor with Display port 1.4
They just got back to me and you should be able to get adaptive sync and gsync compatible via the USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 as well.
I got the RTX 3060 version, but this laptop is bloody loud. Would have returned it maybe if I realized this sooner
Have you tried running it in balanced mode? Our 3070 Ti model was much quieter in that profile.
@@NotebookcheckReviews yea slightly better, but still loud af
My solution is repaste the stock thermal paste with Honeywell ptm 7950 or TFX/SYY-157/NT-H2/TF8 ( spread ), when gaming set the fan to 4500-5000rpm is enough.
These GPUs are extremely powerful dont think that other brands dont have this loudness in FPS games. Only option is using headset or speakers

These are the official system requirements, so you should have a good time with the Nitro.
I cant wait for this game myself!
I hope its going to be good! #fingerscrossed
I bought this for Starfield as well but this thing is a crazy Jet Engine on Fire. Like he mentioned you need a good headset to dampen the sound of dual 7000 rpm fans in Performance Mode. Make sure to turn the MUX mode on in NitroSense(Discrete GPU Only) to turn the AMD iGPU off for a 10-15% FPS boost. Example FPS running 1080p ULTRA in Cyberpunk with no DLSS/FSR is 89 FPS AVG and CPU Temp stays around 85c w/ GPU around 70's.
@@_ghr0_ I ended up returning it for a M16 R1 Alienware because of the CPU temp issue. You're probably good but 85c is what I was getting for a simple game like Valhiem and even got up to 90c. I know AMD chips will crash once they hit 95c. It just worried me a little since the rule of thumb is 80 to 85c is bad for the CPU long term.
@@TheGiuseppe224 the intel chip is better and more cold than the ryzen chip in laptops ? Im very confusing about this...
@@MrThemateusize AMD processors generally do run warmer than Intel processors but Intel processors can get hotter. On my Alienware which has a I9 runs in the 70 to 80c while playing Starfield. It depends on so many factors though not just the CPU.

If you perform the IMON tweak on the nitro 5 then it can start trading blows with the MSI raider series since the CPU and GPU won't be limited by dynamic boost and can boost as high as possible. The 280w brick is capable of handling this load and the motherboard is robust enough to handle this extra power too.

I’ve seen people say these werent made in 2023, everything I’ve read says this came out in Feb 2023, at least with this exact configuration I got, my packaging with the warranty stuff, says Manufacture date 2/13/2023 fwiw. So they are still making them new and yes this thing is def brand spanking new, all original packaging. Complete fresh install of windows, had to wait a while to get to set up, compared to when it’s a reset Pc and the set up pops up instantly for windows. So fwiw they are still making these into 2023 for now at least.

I have the 2021 model of this (AN515-45) w/ 5600h & RTX 3060 with the same cooling system. If you run laptops unhinged in performance mode at 95c all the time it's gonna kill the lifespan. I capped mine to 3.5Ghz to make sure the CPU doesn't go past 81/82c at max load and it only decreased my FPS in Cyberpunk by 1 avg while also improving my 1% lows drastically making the game smoother. This also effects the GPU temp because the pipes are connected and my GPU is commonly 65c at 100% load. Companies want you to run in these high end modes without warning so you can buy a new computer more often..
