70% Acer Nitro 5 review: Big screen backed by solid budget gaming performance
Source: PC World EN→zh-CN
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.

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.
