Reviews for the Acer Nitro 5 AN515-45-R7S0
Source: Root Nation
The Acer Nitro 5 AN515-45 is a powerful gaming laptop on AMD with a nice bright display, even if it’s Full HD (I would like to see QHD). But the increased frame rate of 144 Hz will appeal to fans of shooters and MOBAs. The build quality is fine, but it looks cheap. The laptop has a good cooling system that allows it to work at maximum capabilities for a long time. The fans are, of course, loud, so it is better to play in headphones, and speakers lack bass and volume. The laptop is equipped with Nvidia RTX 3070 graphics with ray tracing support. In the next couple of years, this model will run games at maximum settings with all the bells and whistles. All thanks to the Full HD screen.

At that price, it’s incredible value for the hardware and performance you’re getting. Yes, it’s not exactly the most powerful RTX 3070 out there. Yes, there’s definitely some compromises and some cut corners with the laptop. But if all you want to do is get the best value-for-money gaming laptop, it’s hard to argue against the Acer Nitro 5. The Asus TUF Gaming A15 for example also features an AMD Ryzen 7 5800H, 16GB of RAM, 1TB SSD and a 15.6-inch FHD 240Hz display, but the RTX 3070 in it has even less power at just 95W. It also costs more than the Nitro 5, retailing at RM6,699 which again goes to show that the incredible value that the Acer Nitro 5 is offering. Overall, I think any gamer on budget searching for a machine with the best price to performance ratio would appreciate the Acer Nitro 5. You’ll just want to be prepared to live with the odd quirks and compromises that come with it.

You're likely accustomed to seeing models of Acer’s venerable Nitro 5 budget gaming laptop line with prices comfortably in the triple digits. The company extends the line into midrange gaming laptop territory with this configuration ($1,700 USD, $2,932 AUD at Amazon), which packs a QHD display powered by an AMD Ryzen 7 5800H CPU and Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 graphics. Despite its many charms and strong performance, the Nitro 5 takes a close second to the Asus ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition, which remains the best gaming laptop value we've seen lately. The Nitro 5 has an obvious advantage in screen resolution, however: Its 15.6-inch QHD display lends a versatility to the Nitro 5 that makes it an excellent productivity machine as well. If you’re looking for a do-it-all laptop for both work and play, there’s a good argument to be made for the Nitro 5.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
