Reviews for the Acer Nitro 17 AN17-51-71ER

Acer Nitro 17 (AN17-51) review – has a capable cooling and great display
Source: Laptop Media
Well, well, the Acer Nitro 17 (AN17-51) is a true gaming device that isn’t too expensive. Sure, it’s made of plastic but you can open the lid with a single hand and the base is stable. The 4-zone RGB backlit keyboard is comfortable for typing and gaming while the touchpad can be improved. We have no complaints regarding the power of this laptop. Our configuration is maxed out in terms of CPU, GPU, and display options. The CPU can maintain high clocks and power limits in any kind of load in “Turbo” or “Performance mode”. The latter offers less noise but comes with a not-so-well-tuned temperature hysteresis that can be distracting during gaming. The upgradability is up to date – two SODIMMs for up to 32GB DDR5-4800MHz RAM and two Gen 4 M.2 slots. The comfort during load depends on the usage. In “Silent” mode, the laptop is almost quiet which is suitable for casual tasks like watching videos. In “Turbo”, the two fans are very loud so the “Performance” preset looks like the way to go if you don’t mind the RPM fluctuations that we already mentioned.
