The Acer Nitro 5 Laptop Shreds Through Games Without Shredding Your Wallet
Source: Reviewed.com English
If you’re sick of the horrible framerates often seen on laptops with integrated graphics, the Acer Nitro 5 will breathe new life into your gaming sessions. It’s a clear step above ultrabooks in this regard, but you will have to make some sacrifices for this powerful and affordable laptop. If you don’t mind a cumbersome body or a mediocre display, you and your wallet will be very happy with the under-$700 Acer Nitro 5.

Acer Nitro 5 (AN515-44) review – they swapped Intel for AMD
Source: Laptop Media English Archive.org version
Acer Nitro 5 (AN515-44)’s 60Hz IPS panel (BOE NV156FHM-N48 (BOE0818)) has a Full HD resolution, comfortable viewing angles, good contrast ratio, and adequate default settings. However, it uses harmful PWM and it has poor color coverage, only displaying half of the colors found on the Internet, and its pixel response time is very slow – 30ms, which leads to ghosting and not a very pleasant experience for gaming. In our opinion, it’s definitely worth spending a bit more on a 144Hz panel if you’re going to be playing on a daily basis.

80% Acer Nitro 5 (AMD, 2020) review
Source: Laptop Mag English Archive.org version
The Acer Nitro 5 (AMD, 2020) is hard to beat with its $669 price point offering great performance, ridiculously long battery life and a comfortable keyboard. However, you have to acknowledge that at that price point, you can't be too picky about its mediocre GPU, crummy display and crappy speakers.

80% Acer Nitro 5 (2020)
Source: PC Mag English Archive.org version
The Nitro 5 doesn't steal our budget gaming Editors' Choice from the recently anointed MSI Bravo 15 because it's hard to endorse a system with only 256GB of standard storage, though as mentioned the Acer's available M.2 slot and 2.5-inch bay are big pluses.

R5 4600H: Mobile Hexa-Core APU using Zen 2 cores clocked at 3 to 4 GHz and a Vega graphics card with 6 CUs clocked at up to 1500 MHz.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


15.60":

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.

Acer: In 1976, the company was founded in Taiwan under the name Multitech and was renamed Acer or Acer Group in 1987. The product range includes, for example, laptops, tablets, smartphones, desktops, monitors, TVs and computer peripherals. Since 2007, the group has merged with Gateway Inc. and Packard Bell, which also market their own laptop product lines.

Acer computers are designed for a variety of purposes, including ultrabooks for mobile use, gaming laptops for gamers, affordable options for everyday tasks, and 2-in-1 convertible laptops for versatility. Acer's product portfolio also includes tablets that offer portable computing and multimedia capabilities.


80%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
