The Acer Nitro 5 (AMD Ryzen) is a decent budget-friendly gaming laptop. The build quality is decent, with no sharp corners, and the dimensions and weight are average for a 15-inch laptop in its price range. The 15.6-inch 1080p 60 Hertz IPS panel provides decent brightness and contrast, but the color gamut may not be great for gaming. There is some flex in the display when pushed, but overall, the build quality is good. The laptop has a red backlit keyboard, smooth touchpad, and decent port selection, but the keyboard only has one color option - red. The 2.5-inch bay and memory slots are easily accessible for upgrades. The laptop has a 4-cell 48-hour battery, which lasts around 3 hours and 20 minutes with normal use. The laptop performs well in terms of thermals, with fairly low temperatures and quieter fans compared to other gaming laptops. It offers decent gaming performance at medium settings, but struggles with high-settings in more demanding games. The storage and SD card performance are decent, and the pricing for this laptop is quite competitive. However, the review suggests that the Intel and NVIDIA model may perform slightly better for the same price.

The laptop offers decent gaming performance at medium settings.
