Correctly prioritized
Models of the Nitro series from Acer have gained fame as well-made gaming laptops with the right priorities and adequate price tags. The Acer Nitro 5 AN517-52 that came to our test confirms this status: it is a fairly powerful laptop with an excellent gaming display, a noisy but efficient cooling system, a comfortable keyboard and a performant filling.
Classic gaming laptop
Traditionally, the design of the laptop is completely old-school and literally screams about the gaming breed of the model: the frames are thick, the lines are chopped, the air ducts are huge, the ventilation slots are scattered throughout the keyboard, and the WASD and arrow keys are highlighted in red. By the way, unlike previous generations of Nitro, this one has got a full-fledged zonal RGB backlight, instead of a solid red one. Plus, the hull itself is assembled like a tank, and you can hit it like that. I was also pleased with the little things: a comfortable keyboard with a touchpad, a Wi-Fi 6 module and a thick case, which made it possible to equip the laptop with a normal cooling system.
Based on 12-thread Core i7 processor
Inside the Acer Nitro 5, not the most performant by today's standards, but still allowing you to play normally, is a GTX 1650 Ti card with 4 GB of video memory, a 12-thread Core i7 processor, 16 GB of “RAM” and a 512 GB NVMe SSD that can be “upgraded” » with an additional M.2 slot. In general, there is enough power here to play at maximum speed, and the amount of memory will allow you to store a collection of 8-10 favorite games. Display to match the filling: 17-inch IPS display with Full HD resolution and a refresh rate of 120 Hz, which gives the picture an extra smoothness. The matrix shows a soft and not oversaturated picture with excellent viewing angles. It’s a pity that the colour reproduction was slightly under-rotated, 59% of sRGB coverage is quite modest.

To start, I'll say that I got this model much cheaper, but with the version having 8 GB of RAM. So my config was like this: i5 10300, RTX 3060, 8 GB of RAM, and 512 SSD. I intentionally got all this because I had a couple of high-frequency memory sticks from my previous laptop (which, by the way, didn't work, so pay attention to this). In single-channel mode with 8 GB, there's nothing to do at all, never get this config, because the system performance will suffer terribly, and you'll lose a significant portion of your machine's performance. Either pay extra or get an additional 8 GB stick. I can't say anything about the native SSD, as I immediately replaced it with my old M2 Evo860. The screen is decent, although it lacks brightness. Color reproduction is close to good. There is some backlight bleed, though it's not too obtrusive (what do you expect from 17 inches?). Performance pleasantly surprised me; I didn't expect a lower-tier mobile graphics card to deliver 60 fps in full HD with high settings and even with RTX. Whatever I played, the picture was smooth and responsive with pleasant settings everywhere. The keyboard, although laptop-style, isn't annoying. The laptop isn't meant for constant moving around, but in terms of weight, it's not much different from my old 15-incher, so it's not a problem for me to carry it with me to work all the time. The design is relatively calm and unobtrusive. The touchpad is comfortable and responsive, even though it's small. Oh friends, it's going to be fun now. The screen opening mechanism is a nightmare. The screen constantly bends when opening, every time I'm afraid it will break. The power button next to the num pad is a pain. It's not quite the standard size here, so when working in infolog, sometimes my hands instinctively reach for the usual asterisk, but miss. Cooling is [censored]. Just [censored]. Terrible. After watching reviews, I thought it would be better. Nope... And the cherry on top. If you get the version without Windows, be prepared to spend a delightful evening installing that Windows. You can't manage without a beer and 4pda. Nowhere and never has there been such a mess as in this model. |
A regular laptop with a processor (i5-10300h) averages 80-86 degrees under load, which is normal. The graphics card 1650 under load didn't go above 66 degrees, as far as I’ve seen. If given a choice, for the same money, you can buy a laptop with a 15-inch screen instead of a 17-inch, but with an i5-11300h, or add 2-3 thousand and get one with a 3050 instead of a 1650. normal CPU and GPU Glare on the screen |
