Acer Nitro 5 AN517-52 in review: Largely well-rounded gaming laptop offers decent battery life | Notebookcheck
Acer's 17.3-inch gaming laptop runs all the latest computer games smoothly on the matte 120 Hz IPS display. The configuration is pleasing: A hexa-core Comet Lake processor, a GeForce RTX 2060 GPU, a 1 TB NVMe SSD and 16 GB of RAM (dual-channel) are on board.

Acer Nitro 5 (AN517-52) review – 17-inches of reasonably priced gaming
Source: Laptop Media
Archive.org version
Indeed, 17-inch gaming notebooks are not that popular, compared to their 15-inch siblings. They are more difficult to handle, take more space, and generally, they look like something’s wrong with them. However, the benefits of having a larger screen can be numerous. First of all, in many cases, you don’t need an external monitory, just because, the 17-inch display is big enough for home use.

Acer Nitro 5 (A517) review

Overall, Acer has done a great job of building a 17in gaming laptop for those on a tighter budget. Coming in at under £1,000 in the UK but you get a Core i7 chip, 120Hz screen and, most importantly an RTX 2060 GPU.

Acer Nitro 5 Review – Amd Ryzen 9 5900Hx + Geforce Rtx 3080
Source: Pokde
For the most part, this Acer Nitro 5 gaming laptop is the same as before but supercharged with even more powerful components. You get great performance, 1440p display with 165Hz refresh rate, a comfortable 4-zone RGB keyboard, decent array of ports, can function as an emergency powerbank, and it finally moved towards the HDMI 2.1 standard. However, the build quality can still be improved, would be better if they made it lighter, there is slight thermal throttling, display is a little dim, and it lacks an SD card reader. At RM8,999, this may seem pricey but given what you’re getting, it does provide good value for money spent, especially since you wouldn’t need to upgrade anything further. At the end of our Acer Nitro 5 review, I award this gaming laptop with our Silver Pokdeward.

Acer Nitro 5 (AN517-41) – high-end hardware and a good price tag in one place
Source: Laptop Media
In short, the Acer Nitro 5 (AN517-41) can be a high-end gaming device (if you configure it with the top CPU and GPU options) with a decent price tag for not-so-pretentious power users. Sure, it’s an all-plastic device but the whole build is sturdy while we observe some slight bends here and there but nothing too serious. At the same time, the laptop offers a decent gaming experience, the fans aren’t too loud, the CPU temperature is fine and the same goes for the GPU – 76°C core temperature is a normal result especially for a graphics card like the GeForce RTX 3080. The whole picture is complemented by a good keyboard and if you pick the optional unit with RGB backlight we can call the Acer Nitro 5 (AN517-41) a complete package for gaming.

Acer Nitro 5 (2021, AMD) initial review: An affordable, customisable gaming laptop

Whether the ongoing questions of the series from before - light bleed, excess fan noise, limited battery life - continue here we'll need to do some more thorough testing. But at this price such foibles are forgivable for all the potential gaming joy the Nitro 5 can bring.

Acer Nitro 5 review: Great gaming value with a great display
Source: PC World
You're likely accustomed to seeing models of Acer’s venerable Nitro 5 budget gaming laptop line with prices comfortably in the triple digits. The company extends the line into midrange gaming laptop territory with this configuration ($1,700 at Acer), which packs a QHD display powered by an AMD Ryzen 7 5800H CPU and Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 graphics. Despite its many charms and strong performance, the Nitro 5 takes a close second to the Asus ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition, which remains the best gaming laptop value we've seen lately. The Nitro 5 has an obvious advantage in screen resolution, however: Its 15.6-inch QHD display lends a versatility to the Nitro 5 that makes it an excellent productivity machine as well. If you’re looking for a do-it-all laptop for both work and play, there’s a good argument to be made for the Nitro 5.

AN517-54-77KG Passable 2021 Acer Nitro 5?
Source: PCR
Well, the gaming laptops world updates almost every day, so research before deciding is always a good step. After research, I found this laptop to be the best in its category in terms of price point and its specs. It beats a lot of laptops, also 2000 range laptops. And there are not too many 17-inch range gaming laptops in the market. So if you are looking for an excellent gaming laptop with a larger 17-inch screen, with the newest Intel i7 CPU, beefy Graphics, and 1TB, yes 1TB (!!) SSD, this AN517-54-77KG is a really good value for its price, unless, of course, if you want to spend more.

Hardly the gaming laptop of your dreams, but this year’s Acer Nitro 5 has got a big screen and audio that are accurate if not exemplary. Its keyboard is probably the rough stone here, but you’re still able to get a perfect external gaming keyboard/mouse combo. The biggest concern with this laptop is the price. Normally, Acer Nitro is a budget line, but above one grand – even if you’re getting a 17-inch screen, this laptop is actually more than its 15.6-inch Acer Predator Helios 300 counterpart, with the same Core i7 processor, but a more powerful Nvidia RTX 3060 graphics card. It remains our Editors’ Choice for midrange gaming laptops. If you’re a hardcore gamer with hardcore demands, you better look elsewhere. But if you’re on a budget – or just settling into PC gaming – and you’re willing to compromise on a few things for a big screen, the Acer Nitro 5 AN517-54-77KG is definitely an option worth considering.

Acer Nitro 5 (17-Inch)
Source: PC Mag
The latest 17.3-inch Acer Nitro 5 has the performance chops you'd want in a high-end laptop, even offering a better deal than most $2,000-plus gaming rigs. That, plus sufficient storage and a fast display panel, are its biggest upsides. Beyond those points, it's a fairly unremarkable system—the design is plain, the build has some flex, and its display quality is a bit below average. Also, while it's largely an esthetic and consumer satisfaction issue, the Nitro 5 lacks some of the style, build quality, and premium experience that you might expect from a laptop in its price range. You can bring the abovementioned competitors' prices down with lesser configurations and get a nicer build without sacrificing much power. To be sure, the Acer is a fair deal for what it offers, but we have tested more appealing options in this price tier, with our pick probably going to the Lenovo Legion 7 Gen 6.

Acer Nitro 5 review: A big-screen RTX 3080 laptop with screaming value
Source: PC World Australia
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.

Acer Nitro 5 (AN517-54) quick review – decent non-expensive offer
Source: Laptop Media
The Acer Nitro 5 (AN517-54) is a decent non-expensive offer with a 17.3″ screen. It seems the AN517-54 devices offer a lot of bang for their buck. The display options include two 1080p IPS screens with 60 Hz and 144 Hz refresh rates and there is a 1440p panel with a 165 Hz refresh rate – the latter will be a good idea if you choose the GeForce RTX 3070 (100W). In short, the Acer Nitro 5 (AN517-54) is a decent non-expensive gaming laptop with a big 17.3″ screen that comes with a good keyboard and decent touchpad. It comes with great upgradability options for its price. At the end of the day, this laptop offers a lot for its money and you can configure it to a powerhouse if you choose the Intel Core i7-11800H and GeForce RTX 3070 (100W).

AN517-54-79L1 – Where It Falls Short
Source: PCR
Summarizing this review, if you are looking for a 17″ gaming laptop that has the newest CPU, RTX GPU, get this one. The 16GB rather than 8GB RAM, and monstrous 1TB rather than 512GB SSD storage are good values. The 144Hz refresh rate, backlit keyboard, and so many ports onboard are very welcome, too. It has a reasonable price due to the difficulties of the shipment of the chips right now, and this Acer Nitro 5 AN517-54-79L1 won’t disappoint.

Acer Nitro 5 (AN517-55) review
Source: Laptop Media
Given the weird cooling behavior in processor loads, we wouldn’t count on the Nitro 5 to be always there for us in CPU-intensive scenarios. On the other hand, the machine is extremely stable during gaming, and when you combine this with the fantastic 1440p display, you will get probably the best gaming experience for the money. So, would we recommend the Nitro 5 (AN517-55)? Well, yes, we would. There is a couple of stuff we don’t really like, especially the super loud noise coming from the fans. However, it is present mainly when you use the “Performance” preset in the NitroSense app. And to be honest, if you get an RTX 3070 Ti, you wouldn’t really need to use that mode, because the GPU is still one of the most powerful ones out there. Especially in its 150W iteration.

Acer Nitro 5 (2022)
Source: PC Mag
It's annoying that Acer has heard our gripes about the Nitro 5's hard-to-read keyboard for years without fixing it, but the laptop has otherwise shown steady improvement, moving from the 30fps to 60fps threshold and now taking a step nearer the big leagues with a 144Hz display. Unfortunately, the competition has improved too—it's easier to stand out in the $700 or $800 segment than the fierce, crowded $1,100 or $1,200 arena. We still like the Nitro 5, but it's no longer our first pick.

Source: Ultrabook Review
While it might not seem so at a first glance, Acer have much improved the 2022 Nitro 5 series in quite a few ways compared to the previous generations. They've tweaked some of the design lines and ergonomics, included some good screen options, beefed up the power settings and the cooling module, added up a 90Wh battery, as well as updated the internal specs to the latest available today. These make the Intel configuration reviewed here a powerful implementation in its class, and a proper alternative for what is still most likely the better-balanced AMD variant also available in this chassis.

Acer Nitro 5 review: Big screen backed by solid budget gaming performance
Source: PC World
As you have just read (unless you skipped to the end), the Acer Nitro 5 AN517 is not without its faults. But every budget laptop makes a few missteps and none of our issues with this 17.3-inch Nitro 5 are deal breakers. Sure, the plastic chassis is clunky, the display isn’t the brightest, the keyboard is only so-so, the touchpad is tiny, and the webcam is terrible. These design drawbacks are what you must tolerate for the bang that this Nitro 5 provides for your gaming buck. At its core, the Nitro 5’s CPU-GPU pairing of the Ryzen 7 6800H and RTX 3060 graphics allow it to hang with pricier gaming laptops. For budget-conscious buyers, this $1,200 Nitro 5 configuration delivers strong 3D performance for the price while also providing a roomy display, quiet operation, and adequate battery life.

Acer Nitro 5 (2022, 17-Inch) Review
Source: PC Mag
While there isn’t too much special about the Nitro 5’s build, the total package is a strong value. The list price isn't quite a bargain, but Micro Center's price (at the time of writing) is much closer. An RTX 3060 is a deal at $1,200, but still reasonable at $1,500, and the fast processor and plenty of storage justify the cost. The laptop is large and heavy, limiting usefulness for most buyers seeking a portable option. But, if your priority is a big screen and decent performance without breaking the bank, this is a fair, full-featured deal. If you're not sold and would consider a smaller size, check out the MSI Katana, our top pick for a great deal at 15 inches.

Acer Nitro 5 review: performance without the price
Source: T3
If you're not into consoles, the Acer Nitro 5 is a brilliant gaming laptop alternative. As long as you keep it plugged in and aren't looking to go crazy with settings, you'll have no problems running the latest games and playing at a steady framerate. It's the best of PC gaming without the biggest of price tags. If you want to run Cyberpunk 2077 at top specs this isn't the one for you, but for students looking to balance work and play, or who want to join their PC gaming friends, the Nitro 5 is not to be missed.

As long as you keep it plugged in and aren't looking to go crazy with settings, you'll have no problems running the latest games and playing at a steady framerate. It's the best of PC gaming without the biggest of price tags. If you want to run Cyberpunk 2077 at top specs this isn't the one for you, but for students looking to balance work and play, or who want to join their PC gaming friends, the Nitro 5 is not to be missed.

Acer Nitro 5 (2023) Review
Source: Trusted Reviews
As with previous Nitro laptops, there’s a sense that Acer has hit the nail right on the head. Together, the Core i5 CPU and RTX 4050 do a great job of hitting good frame rates on the latest games at 1080p, with DLSS 3 in the wings if you want to enable ray tracing or if games grow more demanding in a few year’s time. Of course, Acer hasn’t got this market all to itself, and the Gigabyte G5 is a tempting alternative at a similar price. However, despite its RTX 4060 GPU the G5 isn’t actually much faster in games, and it can’t beat the Nitro where its weakest – its screen – because its own display isn’t significantly better. The MSI GF63 Thin is slimmer with slightly better battery life, but it has similar screen issues and the performance isn’t in the same class. For my money, that makes the Nitro 5 a real contender, provided you can live with the underwhelming brightness levels of the screen.
