Expert tester comments
Acer's Nitro 5 has a formidable configuration that includes an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti graphics adapter. It's designed for gaming, as its physical design will attest u002du002d there is an angular chassis, along with a blood red keyboard backlight and clear outlines on the WASD and arrow keys. Well worth considering as a laptop on which to run the latest games.
