Reviews for the Acer Nitro 17 AN17-72

Hands on: Acer Nitro 17 review: a true budget gaming laptop option with solid specs

Though its design is pretty basic, the RGB-lit keyboard gives it an aesthetically pleasing look, while performance should be nicely boosted thanks to the current-gen components it's equipped with.
