Acer Nitro 5 - 2022

The Acer Nitro 5 (2022) is a good option for those looking for a budget gaming laptop, as it performs well in benchmarks, has a good HD monitor with thin bezels for maximum screen real estate, and a practical keyboard. Its only real flaw is the lackluster battery life.

If you're on a tight budget and don't need a laptop with an overly thin design, then the Nitro 5 is worth heavy consideration. I enjoyed my time testing it, even though I wasn't blown away by it. It's an average design with average performance for an affordable price. Can't be mad at that.

Acer’s Nitro 5 is a value gaming laptop held back by seriously short battery life.

The Acer Nitro 5 is a budget gaming laptop with an unobtrusive design and solid gaming performance for the price, as long as you're willing to turn down the settings for some games. Acer needs to cool its jets on the bloatware, though.

An affordable gaming laptop that somewhat fails to excite but ultimately gets the job done well.
