Reviews for the Acer Nitro 5 AN515-44-R55M

Acer Nitro 5 (AN515-44) review – they swapped Intel for AMD
Source: Laptop Media
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.

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.

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.
