Acer Nitro 5 technical characteristics

Unboxing and design

Acer Nitro 5 comes inside a colorful cardboard box that shows us a high-quality image of the laptop along with its most important features. Of course , its full specifications are also detailed in several languages including Spanish, with this, no user will miss a single detail. Once the box is open, we find the Acer Nitro 5 perfectly accommodated by several pieces of cork and covered by a bag to avoid damaging its surface, an example of how to pack a product.

Next to the laptop we find all the documentation and the power supply that we will use to charge its battery.

We can already see the Acer Nitro 5 in all its splendor, it is a laptop with a very compact design, its body is made of very good quality plastic. As a product that claims to be economical, the use of aluminum has been discarded, a more noble material but also more expensive and more expensive to work with. Most of the laptop is black, although we see some details in red, it reminds us a lot of the aesthetics of the Acer Predator series.

Its upper part has a finish that imitates brushed aluminum although it is still plastic as we have said above, apart from that there is nothing else to highlight except for the serigraphed brand logo.

The bottom is also very simple, fortunately there are two covers that give access to the hard drive and RAM, with this we will not have to disassemble the entire laptop to access these two components, which will be the first to be updated safely.

On the left side we find the kensington security slot next to a Gigbabit Ethernet port, a USB 3.1 gen 1 Type-C port, an HDMI video output, a USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A port and an SD memory card reader.

We go to the right side and find two USB 2.0 ports, a 3.5 mm jack connector for audio and micro combo and the power connector.

At the back is the air outlet of the cooling system, we can even see the aluminum radiator that is hidden inside.

As for the keyboard, it is a membrane unit with red lighting so that we can use it in low light without any problem. The touch pad is quite good and it seems to us a success that Acer incorporates both a keyboard and a touchpad of such high quality in a team within reach of all pockets.

Given the external aspect, we are going to enter the specifications and characteristics of this Acer Nitro 5. First of all, we do not look at its 15.6-inch screen, it has an IPS panel with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. It is a panel that will offer great image quality at a moderate price, since opting for a higher resolution would make the computer more expensive. The use of IPS technology is a success, since it offers the best image quality, personally it hurts me to see laptops that are worth much more money and mount TN panels.

Above the screen we see the 2 megapixel HD webcam with two microphones.

We will analyze the hardware of this Acer Nitro 5, the team combines a quad-core and eight-core Intel Core i7 7700HQ processor together with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 graphics card with 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, this combination will allow us to play all games on the market with graphic quality and a fairly good framerate, logically it will be below the most powerful equipment but it is logical.

Accompanying the processor we find 16 GB of DDR4 RAM in single channel at 2400 MHz along with a M.2 SATA disk of 256 GB and a mechanical disk of 1 TB, in all these aspects we will be more than enough and we will have a computer with large storage capacity and speed of SSDs.

As for wireless connectivity, it is also at a great level, since it mounts a Bluetooth + WiFi ac controller so that we can navigate at full speed and use all kinds of peripherals without the hassle of cables.

Finally, it includes Windows 10 Home pre-installed and perfectly activated as standard, it is a device ready for us to start using and enjoying it from the first moment it reaches our hands.

Software and performance tests

At Cinebench R15 we have obtained a result of 731 cb. A result we had hoped for by having one of Intel's flagships in the notebook series. While to test the performance of M.2 SSDs we have used the classic Crystal Disk Mark.

Finally you can see the performance it has offered us playing. It has been a joy for us to try this laptop.

Final words and conclusion about Acer Nitro 5

The Acer Nitro 5 comes to the market to be one of the best quality / price options on the market. The model we have tested has been : i7-7700HQ, 16 GB of RAM, Nvidia GTX 1050, 15.6-inch screen with IPS Panel and an excellent standard keyboard.

In our tests we have been able to verify that any game runs in the native resolution: 1920 x 1080 px. Having an average of 44 FPS in Doom 4 or 70 constant FPS in Overwatch. The perfect companion for your small games like editing video with Adobe applications.

We recommend reading the best gamer notebook on the market

The IPS panel surprises us with fantastic viewing angles and little bleeding. This shows that Acer incorporates very high quality components. The keyboard is backlit in red, although I would not have liked it to be RGB, but considering its price we can forgive it.

Currently we can find it in the main online stores in Spain . Its price starts at 860 euros (it depends on whether you have the GTX 1050 or the MX150). Without a doubt, a 100% recommended option.
