The least expensive Nitro 5 variant packs in a quad-core Core i5-9300H processor, a GTX 1650 graphics card, 8GB of RAM, and a 256GB solid-state drive, while the priciest system comes with a hexa-core Core i7-9750H CPU, an RTX 2060 GPU, 16GB of RAM, and a roomier 512GB SSD. Our Nitro 5 review unit (AN515-44-R99Q) features the following specs: 1. CPU:Hexa-core AMD Ryzen 5 4600H 2. Memory:8GB DDR4 3200MHz (upgradable to 32GB) 3.

Aug 14, 2020 ·  The Acer Nitro 5 (AMD, 2020) is hard to beat with its $669 price point offering great performance, ridiculously long battery life and a comfortable keyboard. However, you have to acknowledge that... 

Acer is offering both Intel and AMD options with the Nitro 5. The AMD model starts at $600 USD, and for that you get a Ryzen 5 CPU and a GTX 1650. There is also a GTX 1650 Ti model, but that goes for about $1,000 USD and honestly that’s a poor value for gamers in my opinion considering what else is out there. The Intel flavour starts at $650 USD, and for that you get a quad-core 10th genCore i5 processor, 8GB of RAM, a 256GB NVMe drive, and a GTX 1650. The sample that we have in hand that comes with a 9th gen 6-core/12-thread Core i7-9750H processor, 16GB of RAM, the same amount of storage – which really isn’t that much at a time when games are starting to eat up at least 150 GB – a 1080P 144Hz IPS-like display, and an RTX 2060 for about $1,050 USD. Depending on when you see this and where you shop that price might be either higher or lower. For those of you who noticed the odd Intel CPU, your eyes aren’t deceiving you. This laptop indeed uses an older 9th generation CPU, and while... 

Much like the previous generations, this 2020 Nitro 5 is entirely made out of plastic. It doesn’t feel cheap, but it’s also not as nice as the metallic Acer Predator options, starting with the Nitro 7. I appreciate that Acer ditched the faux carbon-fiber patterns and red accents on the lid used on some of their previous Nitros, as well as the fact that they implement muted Acer branding elements on this generation. However, those black smooth surfaces are incredibly prone to showing fingerprints and smudges, both on the lid and on the arm-rest, and you’ll constantly have to rub this laptop clean if you care about these aspects. Despite the all-plastic build, this Nitro 5 feels sturdy, with a strong screen and little flex in the lid or keyboard deck. It’s also fairly compact and lightweight, at a little over 5 lbs in this variant. As far as the practical aspects go, I will complain about a few details, such as the fact that the status LEDs are annoyingly placed just beneath the scree...

The Acer Nitro 5 has never been a bad looking notebook of a thing. While they are not the most svelte looking stuff, they are not bad lookers. The previous Nitro 5 has a faux carbon fibre treatment on the top of the case, which could be a thing for some people. We also understand that it may not be for everyone. We do quite like the overall design of the Acer Nitro 5 in general though. They retain mostly the same shape since the first generation of the Nitro 5 a few years ago. You get the angular mouth that is reminiscent of Predator’s famous curves these days. You also get plenty of space for cooling purposes while maintaining a Plain Jane look. The new one still retains the general shape and thickness of the older one. You lose the carbon fibre design from the old one though. Instead, you get some power lines that folds inward on the top of the clam. It mimics the lines that you get from the Helios line-up of the Predator family. They are, after all, cousins. Instead of the carbon... 

Jul 13, 2020 ·  Acer Nitro 5 AN517 (2020) review: Price and competition. As well as the Intel Core i7-9750H and RTX 2060, this laptop includes 8GB RAM (expandable up to 32GB) and, for storage, it uses a 256GB SSD. 

For starters, here are the specs from our review unit that Acer gave us: Acer Nitro 5 (AN515-44-R1AZ) 1. CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 4800H 2. GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 4GB GDDR6 3. RAM: 8GB DDR4 3200MHZ 4. Storage: 512GB SSD PCIe NVMe 5. Display: 15.6″ FHD (1920×1080) ComfyView IPS 144Hz As mention, it’s metallic feels give out a premium look which is nice to hold and some red accents across the laptop (and even on the LED keyboards) make it more alluring in nature and also help disperse out the heat. The keyboard feels quite nice to touch even in more intense sessions with the machine, not that squishy but excellent to the touch. Though my only gripe is that it’s dedicated Nitro button is close to the backspace button and some instants of mispress have occurred in my time with it. Even so, in intense situation, heat doesn’t dissipate towards the keyboard so that’s a good design call from Acer. 3 USB port isn’t exactly setting the world on fire in terms of putting stuff in but it suffices m...

HP Omen 17 review: More portentous than ominous

HP Omen 17 review

The Good: The HP Omen 17 comes in a wide range of configurations, most of which offer good graphical bang for your buck. The Bad: The 4K variant has poor battery life, no option for a Nvidia GeForce 1080 GPU. The Bottom Line: It's not the most powerful gaming laptop out there, nor the slimmest one, but it's among the best combinations of price, screen size and performance. The 17-inch HP Omen hits the sweet spot. There are laptops with greater graphical grunt, but they're mostly either heavier or more expensive. There are thinner, lighter laptops, but they're mostly either less powerful or, yet again, more expensive. The HP Omen succeeds because it crams impressive power into a relatively light machine for a cost that's a bit lower than most of its competitors. Unlike its 15-inch little brother, the 17-inch HP Omen can be configured with an Nvidia GeForce 1070 graphics card. A GeForce 1050 will play the games of today, a 1060 will let you dabble in VR. The powerful 1070, though, is a better bet for the games of tomorrow -- and the two or so years that follow tomorrow. There's another step beyond that, the Nvidia 1080, but that's where prices really start to go up.&nbsp;That, plus a 7th-generation Intel i7 processor, comes in a machine that weighs 6.3 pounds (2.8kg). Not light, but on the lighter side for a 17-inch laptop. Many of its peers weigh in excess of 7 or 8 pounds, with some beasts like the EVGA SC17 in double-digit territory.&nbsp;The Nvidia 1070-packing Omen starts at $1,799 (£1,799 in the UK and AU$3,199 in Australia).&nbsp; That's without luxuries like a 4K screen, but it's also considerably lower than the price of many comparable laptops, which often start at $2,000 and above. The model we reviewed was the souped-up 1070 version with a 4K display for a total of $2,339. It's AU$3,499 in Australia but HP doesn't currently offer the 1070/4K combo in the UK.&nbsp;Playing with powerThe laptop will handle everything you can throw at it -- if you keep games to 1,920x1,080-pixel, full-HD resolution. I played a few hours of Rise of the Tomb Raider, released in 2016 but still among the most graphically demanding games out there, and it ran perfectly smoothly in FHD. Kicking the resolution to full 4K caused some choppiness, but the game still mostly ran at around 30fps.That said, the Omen 17 fared well in Overwatch: I got up to 70 frames per second playing at the higher 4K resolution of 3,840x2,160 pixels.&nbsp;One problem with gaming laptops is the inability to switch graphics cards in and out, so whatever card you have, you're stuck with it. You'll be able to play most of today's games with ease on the Omen 17 configured with a GeForce 1050Ti, and play all of them with ease with a 1060. If you want future-proofing though, it's worth shelling out an extra hundred or so for the 1070.Better safe than sorryPortability is clearly not your main concern if you're in the market for a 17-inch machine, but the HP Omen is admirably trim considering the necessarily large frame. At 6.3 pounds, it's not something you'd take to work every day -- or anywhere near public transport. But it's something you can move around the house or (drive) to a friend's house every now and then without it being a major hassle.

It's not the most powerful gaming laptop out there, nor the slimmest one, but it's among the best combinations of price, screen size and performance.

Packed with a Nvidia GeForce 1070, the laptop is a few hundred dollars cheaper than comparably powerful machines.
