proud owner of August 2020 model
Nitro 5 , AN517-52 . 17" 144Hz
i7 10750H , GTX1650 , 16GB RAM . ONE TB SSD
then again i saw your review on Alien👽Ware X17 with RTX 3080 ;
with RGB Touchpad ; with per-key RGB ; with mind🤯blown &🤪boggling extras ...
aaand in singapore ; our local stores only have RTX3060 and no RGB touchpad
Your video is great, it helps me with useful advice on choosing the right laptop for me!
isn't the Acer Nitro 5 i5 11th gen has 144hz
and
Acer Nitro Ryzen also has 144hz
According to your video, you just saying Intel version got only 60hz
But why ?
It would be better if you check nitro i5 11th gen refresh rate details in Flipkart or Amazon
I see alot of people talking about how bad the sound quality is on the nitro 5, I thought it was bad also until I was going through all the programs in the start menu and found one called DTSX Ultra. After turning this feature on, it now has some of the best sound quality I have ever heard. It's a massive difference, night and day.
Good to know, thanks man.
Hey Brutal Games, thank you so much for the tip! I hope this helps other people as well
how do i turn it on?
@@bendover-pp7tm i wanna know too, im on my nitro 5 rn the audio is pretty bad but bearable
my audio is just as good as a dell, i've never seen this dtsx program
Microcenter had the 17” version of this laptop with an AMD Ryzen 7 6800, 16 gig of DDR5 Ram, a RTX 3060 and a 1TB SSD drive for $999 last month. Picked it up and I’ve been very happy with it. Fans don’t get too loud on default mode, highest temp so far playing Warhammer 2 was about 70 degrees. If you crank the fans on Max mode they cool down the machine quickly after playing.
i got a Nitro 5 without the sports car rear vent , been using it daily since october no issues so far. all in all its my first gaming pc within my budget and im happys with it. i got a decent monitor.,keyboard,mouse n all that stuff for it. great video by the way
Thank you so much Jim 2 The Camel! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
This review is epic, you literally thought of every detail. Good job, Justin,
Thank you Leo! I really appreciate that!
Excellent review, keep up with the good work! I’ve been using an “updated” version of the Nitro 5 with RTX 3060, and Ryzen CPU. I bought it last October and besides of the sound quality I’m pretty much satisfied with it. It cost a bit more ~ 1400/1500$ but I think it’s still reasonable. I’ve got the ram updated since then, to an additional 16GB to the 8GB that it comes with - so whether it’s gaming or rendering videos/using PS, Nitro 5 is definitely a worthy of choice.
Nice! Yeah I think most people should have 16GB of RAM for gaming and definitely for rendering. Congrats on your new machine szlami07! Sorry for the late reply!
Did you upgrade the ram yourself?
@@SwagGamer0 I had to go back to the shop where I bought the laptop, as if I was doing it, it would cost me to lose the warranty - but otherwise it’s just a plug and play, there are two slots for ram, you can change them on the given models up to 32 gb, now it runs with the basic 8 gb and an additional 16 gb (24 gb all together)
@@szlami07I've been thinking of getting it... There's a deal on Amazon that gets you the 3050 RTX, 11400h, and 16 GB of ram for 700$.
I'm skeptical as I've heard bad things about the build quality.
What should I do? Any response would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
@@KolyaBennett Hey! I've been using it for 1,5 years now, and never experienced any problem. However, for gaming I would say that 3050 will not be enough for a long run as we all know how unomptimized are the AAA games nowadays. The VRAM just won't be sufficient I think.
How happy I am to randomly end up finding your channel, good job my friend
Thank you Mr Sam! I really appreciate that! Glad to have you on the channel!
You deserve more subs and views for this quality of videos. Keep it up ✌🏻
Thank you Almighty mighty! I really appreciate that!
I have bought myself an Acer Nitro 5 N20C1 model 2 years ago, I love it!
This is a great laptop for who is on a budget the only things that I don't like about it are the design which looks old now, and the display, if acer fixes this they will have a almost perfect laptop. Great review by the way
Thank you That one guy! Yeah the display on the intel wasn't too bad, but I was amazed at how low the brightness was on the AMD version
You just got your self a new subscriber ma dude👍🏽😎💯
Justin i will suggest you to segment the diffrent ram and configration part.
Means first all stock configration benchmarks and then upgraded ram ones. This way it will be really clear and distinct for people who dont really know about all of that ...
And really good job with all of this benchmarks man very informative...
👍🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for the feedback Kundan! Yeah if I have time in my next videos, I might create separate graphs for each segment for each game
I searching this video for 2 to 3 months......thanks for this video...
Thank you for the Video. I Purchased the Acer Nitro 5 15.6" 144Hz from Walmart using your Affiliate Link, along with 2 sticks of 16GB DDR4 2666 Ram, and a 1TB SSD. I hope they give at least enough for a 12 Pack of Beer for this... lol :)
Nice channel. Keep the videos coming. Subscribed!
Thanks for the sub Joel! Glad to have you on the channel!
Can't wait to get this laptop next month! I'm halfway there
Did u get it?
the new tech channel i'll be listing to, you deserve atleast 100k subs
Woa thank you so much Zaheerlol!
I can agree the sound is as loud as a window air conditioner. I hate having to choose between them sometimes
Great video!
YOU ARE UNDERRATED men.
hope you have more subscribers
Thank you so much G J! I really appreciate your kind words!
Very detailed review, this brand is very popular in my country, thanks :D
Glad it was helpful for you reiko!
Themmmm this video must had to be hard to do, thanks for the effort, helps a lot to chose the ideal laptop
Glad it helped Jesus!
I like the upgradability of the laptop. excellent detailed review
I have the R7 5800H and RTX 3080 version. It is amazing for $1300!
Oh wow, that is a lot of testing, man.
The screen and sound are pretty rough on this one (as expected though). But hey, it can work out for people who don't use it mainly anyway. Some people use an external monitor and the laptop's screen is just for chatting, discord, reddit, or open some wiki pages. Sound is fine with a headphone.
So, they don't have to pay the premium price for everything (which is the point of a "budget" laptop).
Yeah that was my thinking too Pisacha. For people that already planned on speakers and headphones as well as an external monitor, its kind of a no brainer if they don't have much money
Enable DTSX Ultra, makes massive difference on sound quality
Nice thanks for the Info it helps me a lot ! :3
Glad it helped you Ben!
Just brought the Intel version and tbh, I'm pretty happy with it, I decided to get it after this review since I'm not playing BIG games, my main games will be Ark Survival and Sims 4 and a few VR chat model creations, so far so good! This saved me so much time on deciding on which one I should get 👌🏼
Glad to hear it, I just bought one and I’m currently waiting on it to be delivered. Hoping it’ll at least run all the fallout games with some mods fairly smoothly
This review is the best, i hope i have one of those one day
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!
Great video
I bought myself an Acer Nitro 5 3050 RTX along with a Roccat mouse and keyboard. it will be my first gaming PC.
hey that's wierd, in India the nitro 5 comes with a 4 zone RGB keyboard, also it includes a 58 whr battery and 1tb hdd + 256 SSD or 512 ssd
This review is awesome 😍😍😍
Thank you Lakshmi!
Wow battery life sux.. excellent review thanks
Epic review, love it
Thank you Rajiv! I really appreciate that!
Great review. Keep it up homie…. Can you do a single review of the same laptop (2020 version) as I’d want to get that by Xmas ? I believe that’s the 9th gen and has more red on its body .
Thank you Youngbent! Unfortunately with all the future videos I have scheduled and lined up, I probably won't be able to review that one anytime soon.
Low key ngl good vid
Great review. New subscriber
Thanks for the sub Daniel! Glad to have you on the channel!
Nice just subbed
Thanks for the sub ICHIKA! Glad to have you on the channel!
I already have nitro 5 with RTX 3050 Ryzen 7 but i like this video.
Nice video!!
Thanks Sok Khan!
Great review. To me, I really like the sportscar design. 😎
Thank you Duhawma!
Excellent job justin 👌👏👏👏
Thank you jojox! This one took the longest because of all the extra testing so it's great that people are appreciating it!
@@JustinTechTips yeah.. Your dedication is another lvl bro..
And I just want to know is x17 getting a mux switch..
It seems as though some people have found a work around that has already given them the ability to have a mux switch. Even though dell has not done that themselves yet
good video brother then .. if you recommend it for today's games?
I agree with the number 1 pro of getting this, if you think about it, there are phones out there that are priced the same.
Yeah Pepe the Frog, I think that's something that a lot of people don't normally factor in
justin can you 1 day do a Comparrison video for the Acer Nitro 5 vs HP - Beats Special Edition 15.6" Touch-Screen Laptop
looks decent, i am considering buying one, does it run the old total war games well?
Nice review I’m thinking about getting one and also we’re you cloud gaming on those games or were those ones you downloaded?
sorry for the late reply Caleb. Those were all downloaded. My tests are always on the PC itself to show what it can do
Please reply which one should I buy- Acer nitro 5 i5 11400h or hp victus ryzen 5 5600h both having almost same price and having gtx 1650. Gaming is not my priority. I want for music production and productivity related stuff.
Solid channel
Thanks Bennick Clayton! 🙂
Awesome review bro 💪🏽
Thank you Latron!
@@JustinTechTips You’re welcome!
🙂
I've been using mine for 13 months. It's been a wonderful experience playing older games and OSRS, but it has its limitations with newer games. It's definitely a good starter laptop for kids
Does it run csgo/fortnite well?
Like is it laggy or below 200 fps?
Is it worth the money
If you play Esport titles, or somehing like WOW only its solid Laptop that will last you few years easy. Like i still have my 5+ year old laptop with gtx 1070 and it is working Fine For everything i play, Like solid 100fps+ in WOW for example on medium details. And Medium settings in Rust it can still pull around 60fps. All other games i play Are older titles like witcher, Mafia, elder scrolls series, Gothic series etc and i can maxx them out at 1080p.
@@janodefenua4603 what about the msi katana.i thing of buying it instead of the acer one.rtx3060 with i7 11800 and 32gb ram
@@4k_al3x63 I mean if you find it for decent price why not? RTx 3060 is solid future proof card with high vram memory, same with i7 Cpu its pretty good. But MSI im not so sure its not realy good Laptop brand, they have very bad Coolig systems in general and overheat. But i mean you can always return it to the store and they give you money back, atleast in my country We have 14 days period where you can return it and They must give you money back or give you instore credit etc.
@@janodefenua4603😢wa
I still love my M 17. Another great video (I know I’m starting to sound like a broken record). But these laptops, for some, will be the difference between having a gaming laptop or not. 😉
It doesn’t bother me if you say something similar to something you’ve said before Tiggzg! I just appreciate you commenting!
Thank you so much your the best :)
But pls can you try to bring the RTX 3050 version pls and thank you
Hey TAGxJoker I do have a 3060 HP Victus which is pretty cheap too that is coming in this month. That’s a great one to look into as well
cool comparison.
Thanks Samson! Hopefully it’s helpful for everyone who’s on a budget!
I learned alot
The iPhone bit got me lmao
Getting 1 for Christmas
what do you think about it so far Richard?
Awsome video
Thanks BKD!
If doesn't turn on hold down Power then tap center of mouse pad I love it
I hope i'am one of the people who gets chosen to have your giveaways..... Philo here hehe
im looking to upgrade mine which has a intel core i5 10th gen and a 3050 and i wanted to know what was the upgraded ram you used so i can buy also really loved the vid.
Hey LORD BRISK! Sorry for the late reply. Here's the RAM I recommended for this. Either one is great
Crucial 1Rx8 RAM: amzn.to/3i0SnZ9
Samsung 2Rx8 RAM: amzn.to/3CH57ff
I bought the 3050Ti Variant for 500$ brand new sealed still in box from a junkie 😂😅. I love it!! I was going to buy a ps5 but I was distracted since I previously owned one. So I bought me a laptop for gaming and media consumption!!!
Congrats Batman! I’m glad you’re enjoying yours!
i have that laptop and holy cow it is more than I can ask for
How is it so far?
@@jordanking4228 had it for 8 months now and it's still amazing. Performance does go down slightly but not enough to get mad (like you will hardly notice). Battery life suck, safe to always keep on charger, booting up the computer takes second after shutting off. It does overheat and you don't want your computer going over 149°F (65°C). It can damage the CPU. it's still amazing. It's worth the pretty penny.
Great review thank you.. lol about sound quality, least of the worry if wearing headphones anyway :D and (edit) yes i just need a bargain laptop that can handle editing and adobe suite this is overkill for what i need and bonus it's cheap!! nice
Yeah it really is a great laptop for that price!
Audio has never been a factor in my laptop purchases. I'm usually around people when I'm listening to anything, so I never use the laptop speakers. I've got one of these Nitros arriving tomorrow and I'm looking forward to it.
Hey I am thinking of getting one I was wondering how you were liking it so far
@@carlosbianchi4086 I've enjoyed it so much! It's really impressed me with the graphics performance, but I did order a second 8gb stick to make it 16gb, and in my opinion that's the sweet spot.
The ONLY problem I've had is that the left arrow key (I'm left handed and use the arrow keys for direction) is already wearing off. Apparently the keys are clear originally and they coat them with a black rubber substance to make the symbol outlines so the backlight can show through. I've just ordered a thin clear skin to go on the keyboard to prevent that from happening again, and I'm going to doctor that spot with a black marker. I've never had that happen before on a backlit keyboard.
All points considered I'd buy it again for sure.
Thanks for the videos, just bought a nitro 5 17 inch laptop, was think about using a external drive for game. I saw you are using a usb 3 hdd. I was think of getting usb 3 ssd. My question is, is that necessary. Is the speed of hdd good enough, or does it make loading slower, and sudden freeze during gaming, since is not connected internally?
As long as you have enough ram the advantage of a SSD over a HDD is still just a convenience of faster loading times. Once loaded the game will run the same.
The loading time difference however gets more severe the never the titles get so its best to get those on a SSD and keep the HDD as a data hog for "older" games.
Still use a 5tb western digital 2.5" HDD connected via USB on my HP pavilion ryzen7 rtx 3050 non ti laptop which stores most of my games. The build in 1tb nvme+ 1 tb SSD are reserved for games that have either a lot of stuff to load or plenty of small files (battletech with rogue tech mod is awful loading from a HDD with it's gazillion files)
On my Acer nitro i have a 4tb and 8tb SSD connected via USB and those run pretty similar as the build in 4tb SSD, there is no stutter, lag or anything.
I valued the 2 nvme + 1 2.5" drive over a larger battery. Heck if i would want maximum battery/mobility i would buy a 250 bucks intel celeron. Laptops like this are more mobile desktop replacements then anything else. Yes battery is nice but... more of a 2nd thought.
Nah bro, this channel needs more attention...
Just picked one up used, like new for $350. I'm super happy with it
Hey just wondering can it run valorant at good fps?
@@Xotiic_Creations run great, plays anything I throw at it well enough. I've even been playing some palworld
@@motamage any specific Triple A games?
@@Xotiic_Creations the newest game I've played is probably Assassins creed Valhalla, definitely playable. I upgraded to a nvme SSD, and 32gb of RAM from 8 though
@@Xotiic_Creations made a huge difference
I have the gtx 1650 and i5 11400H but I can’t even get 144 fps with the lowest possible settings what am I doing wrong?
Hey I’m buying my first gaming laptop I’m looking for the coolest run and best fps not overly bothered about amazing displays.
So I’m torn between the nitro 5 3050ti i5 16gb ram for 750 or do I spend a bit more and go for the 3060 ryzen 5 for £1000 sorry bit of a noob. Not want to spend thousands on my first gaming laptop.
that smartphone joke had me rolling on the floor 🤣🤣🤣
😂 If apple starts calling it Voice Time.. I'm suing!
Now I can effort this gaming laptop :)
Nice! Hope this video helped you Dhiraj!
2:40 voice time™ 😂😂😂 man watch them actually use that someday 😂😂 😂
😂😂😂 I really think they might!
Hi can you do a review on the Acer Nitro 5 variant with RTX 3060, Intel core i5, 512gb of SSD storage, and 8gb of RAM?
Thank you very much. What is the best laptop you have ever worked with?
My favorite is definitely the Alienware x17
Alienware x17: bestbuy.7tiv.net/qnEezb (3070 version)
Alienware x15: bestbuy.7tiv.net/VybLO6 (3070 version)
that HDMI port sold me lol
😂
Is the 15 inch big enough for FPS gaming ? Ive never had a gaming laptop and the 17 inch version is only €50 more in Holland.
Yeah Rifet Okic, I honestly prefer 17" myself
Do you know where to buy a different charger for this laptop so I can actually plug to my wall sockets?
What ram do you recommend to upgrade it
it would be so luxurious to have a laptop that includes a graphics card. Alas, Roblox graphics setting 10 still evades me.
I bought the nitro 5 with i5 11th gen and rtx 3050, 16 gb ram, it schould arrive tommorow.
Well actually I have a pc with a rtx3080 ti, but I need the laptop sometimes when i have to study or work in another city
Congrats Osama Shaheen!
@16bit Classics well its doing good, but i dont use it all the day so i dont kniw how it will be under long use
I got the Acer nitro with the Intel i5 and RTX 3050 about a month ago. I mainly use it for blender and Pro tools. The audio doesn't matter for me as I use an audio card with preamps. For the price it was a massive Improvement for what I was working with. I've played some GTA V on it with no issues
Thanks to dlss you will even be able to crank out some decent fps in more demanding newer titles. If you put some time into undervolting the gpu you can even crank out some extra fps. Had a ryzen 7 5800h with a 3050 non ti, was decent for all the games i ran but as i needed a second laptop anyways i took this years black friday sales and got the nitro 5 ryzen 7 5800h with a rtx 3080.
That’s the one I’m looking at getting, u tried VR on it?
@@hoganrules I have not as of yet.
@@kitcrft421 ah ok thanks, the one thing I want to know before I buy it and can’t find anyone online who has tried vr on it 😂
@@hoganrules I used vr on my acer nitro that is still in its stock config from about 3 years ago. So if you have a version of the nitro that is more up to date then mine you could very easily use VR on it. If you can't try going from the stock ram to a duel channel 16gb, 2x 8gb ram in both slots.
i just bought this laptop 2 days ago for £450.
i5-11400h
gtx1650
512gb ssd
I don't know if this will get answered now, but would this be a good laptop to use for streaming games? I play most of my games on Xbox + Switch so I need a laptop that will be able to process/broadcast the game capture well!
Hey noleeness, unfortunately I think this one isn't powerful enough to do that well
I bought the same with Intel I7 and a RTX 3050 . I'm satisfied. Reasonable price and quality.
Just to find budget laptop u pop up look nice
Thank you Koh! I'm glad you liked the video!
If you saw my story on his other acer nitro5 video you are a legend
LOL yeah I liked your story. Congrats on your new laptop! When does it come in K1YAN. Sorry it took me so long to reply to your comment
Actually let me rephrase my question below. What’s the coolest run nitro 5 for 1000 and under?
I was thinking about buying a laptop with good price to start online trading, but I’m on budget, so guess these are my go to
Yes this one will be perfect for that Mr Sam
do you think getting a Acer Nitro 5 15.6 Inch Gaming Laptop - Intel Core i7-11400H, RTX 3050 4GB will be good? btw its 144hz and 16gb
At this point idc if it’s consider slow 😭 I’ve been playing on a windows 7 for 6 years now, I think I’m good with anything 😂
Is this model any good with these specs ?
Intel Core i7-12700H Processor
Nvidia GeForce GTX 3060 6GB DDR6
16GB ram
512GB SSD
Yes of course I need because I am very fund of gaming but couldn't afford money to buy any gaming PC or console
This one is definitely one of the most affordable!
@@JustinTechTips I am child .I am student of class 9. I couldn't afford money to buy this laptop.
