Reviews for the Acer Nitro 5 AN515-45-R36S
Source: Good Gear Guide
With the 15.6-inch Acer Nitro 5 model we reviewed earlier this year, Acer pushed its venerable Nitro 5 budget gaming laptop line into midrange gaming laptop territory by outfitting the $1,700 configuration with RTX 3070 graphics and a QHD panel. With this Nitro 5 (model AN517-41-R3NX), Acer further extends into the midrange category by bumping up the graphics to an RTX 3080 GPU and stretching the display to 17.3 inches — albeit with a lower, 1080p resolution. These upgrades push the price north of US$2,000. The bulky, plastic chassis doesn't scream premium gaming laptop or even utter with much confidence midrange gaming laptop. If your goal is to buy the most power and the biggest display for your gaming dollars, then the 17.3-inch Nitro, which is powered by GeForce RTX 3080 graphics and AMD's stellar Ryzen 7 5800H CPU, is worthy of your attention. If you prize performance over design, then the big-screen Acer Nitro 5 and its RTX 3080 graphics offers an appealing value proposition.

I was surprised Acer put an RTX 3080 in the Nitro 5, but having spent time with this laptop, I'm impressed with the overall balance of performance, thermals, and noise levels this unit delivers. It's not as fast in games and demanding loads as the higher-tier 3080 units out there, but it's more affordable and just friendlier to use, thanks to those cooler components and exterior surfaces, and the barely audible fans. This Nitro 5 is still a budget laptop nonetheless, with the compromises you should expect in this sort of an affordable product, that's why I'd expect the 3060 variants to still be the most competitive among the multitude of available configurations.
