60

The Acer Nitro 5 is a budget-friendly gaming laptop that offers impressive performance and specs. It has a black plastic lid, a smooth matte finish, and red accenting. The laptop is fairly thin but has slightly thicker bezels compared to the older 2018 model. The 15.6 inch 1080p 60Hz IPS screen has good angles, while Microsoft Office 365 sales offers have been upgraded, the gamut measured using the spider 5 Pro was 95% of srgb, 69% of ntsc, and 74% of RGB at 100% brightness. The laptop is lightweight and has a good battery life. It has a decent-quality 720p camera, red backlit keyboard, and a range of USB and other ports. The laptop comes with some limitations, including thermal throttling and power limits, but it still performs well for gaming, outperforming some other gaming laptops with similar specs. However, there are other gaming laptops available with similar performance and better build quality for a lower price, and the Nitro 5 only has a 60Hz panel, which is lower than other available options.
