The Nitro 5 delivers a decent wallop of performance, a 144Hz display and plenty of upgradability for not much cash.

WIth a revamped cooling system and a Ryzen 4000-series CPU on board, the affordable Nitro 5 should delight budget-minded gamers.

Price-conscious users take note: The Acer Nitro 5 AMD edition with Ryzen 5 4600H and GeForce GTX 1650 Ti is a true price-performance recommendation.

The chassis is nice, but clearly inexpensive, since it is plastic. The display is mediocre at best. But, if you are looking for a gaming laptop and are on a serious budget, the Nitro 5 delivers where it matters. It offers good performance, ships with just enough RAM and storage, and offers the upgradability that is lacking in almost all thin and light notebooks. At $669.99 USD, the Acer Nitro 5 is definitely a great value.
