The power of the notebook is truly incredible, the performance in games is impeccable, multitasking works very well! The only thing that could be a little better would be the storage

I’ve been using the Racer Nitro 15 for a few weeks now, and I have to say, it’s exceeded my expectations in just about every way. From performance to design, it delivers a well-rounded experience that’s hard to beat at this price point.
Performance:
Powered by a high-performance processor and a solid graphics card, the Nitro 15 handles everything I throw at it—whether it’s AAA gaming, video editing, or multitasking with heavy apps. The thermals are well managed, and the fans, while audible during intense sessions, never get too distracting.
Display:
The 15.6” Full HD display is vibrant and smooth, especially with the high refresh rate. Whether you’re gaming or streaming, visuals look crisp, and the color reproduction is great for both play and creative work.
Design & Build:
The Nitro 15 has a sleek, aggressive design that screams performance. It’s surprisingly lightweight for a gaming laptop, and the RGB keyboard is a nice touch—customizable and responsive. The build feels durable, and the port selection is generous.
Battery Life:
Gaming laptops aren’t known for long battery life, but the Nitro 15 holds up decently during regular use—web browsing, light editing, and media playback—giving around 5-6 hours depending on usage.
Final Thoughts:
Overall, the Racer Nitro 15 is an excellent choice for gamers, students, and professionals who need power without breaking the bank. It’s reliable, stylish, and delivers top-notch performance for its category. Highly recommended!

Good laptop with frustrating flaw

This was a good product for the price point, however, there is one thing that must be fixed by the user in order for the laptop to not freeze and black-screen constantly while gaming, even with older games, like Darkest Dungeon 1. The fix is easy, but difficult to find online, so I will detail it here:
Go to Control Panel, click Hardware and Sound. In this panel, there is a small hyperlink under Power Options that says “edit power plan.” Click that, and then click “change advanced power settings” in the panel that opens. This will open a separate window with a list. Click “Hard disk,” then click “turn off disk after,” and change those values to 0, which should display as “never” once you click away. It fixes the issue completely, or at least, it did for me. Finding this information took hours though, so hopefully this will help someone find it quickly. Acer should fix this asap and make it the default setting, especially on a gaming laptop.
Still, once you do that, great value for the price.

Good budget laptop but too loud

Overall, if only care abour the game performance it is a really good laptop! Runs every game fine, like Elden rings, Black Myth Wukong. And the lap stays cool, it usually stays around 75, not warm. HOWEVER! The fan can get unacceptable loud. The fan has a very annoying high pitch, in balance mode, it can get easily to 60db, and when in performance, it can go to 70bd, even to 80bd on max fan. Unless you wear a headphone with good noise cancellation or isolation, otherwise it really affect your experience in gamming. Return to beatbuy at last due to noisy fan.

i picked this up with a 4060 and 13th gen i7 for under $900. great value for the price. the cooling leaves something to be desired but i cant complain for a budget laptop. the keyboard gets a bit hot while playing but nothing too bad. build quality feels decent. not the best keyboard out there but it gets the job done. battery life is about what i expected at about 3 hours of light to medium work. Had it for about a month and it plays even the newest games at high or ultra settings. fans sound like it’s about to take off but that’s to be expected of a laptop like this, but i definitely underestimated the volume of the fans. if that bothers you, maybe put together a mid tier gaming pc and get a cheap laptop for everyday tasks. overall very happy with the purchase

For the price, the machine is unbeatable. A 13th gen 17 with a 4060 and 16 GB ram for under $1000? The screen is really nice as well. Heard some complaints in reviews that the color accuracy is not perfect but I don't care - looks good to me. I don't game, I podcast and this destroys even the most difficult video productions applications. Very happy with my purchase.

The fan is pretty loud especially when gaming, I am not a fan of the exaust for the fan being on the top facing toward the screen. Although im sure they have done research on it, it makes me worry for the monitor. The computer runs pretty very well unless you try to do any intensive games, the reason for this is the low amount of ram this comes with. Although that problem is easibly solved since it is upgradable, for the price i feel like 32 is not too much to ask. Valorant ran extremely well on medium settings while modded minecraft would see some lag here or there due to the shorage of ram.

For the make and the parts this performed well. It could handle all the games I threw at it. It didn’t like having more than 20 Edge tabs and office word going without having some glitches and getting really warm. Battery life about 8 hours steady. The storage is a little small at 500GB and It was a little bulkier and slightly heavier than I like for a “15.6 gaming laptop” but overall if you don’t pay more than 700 before tax. Not bad still gives enough left to upgrade SSD and RAM

Bought this for when I have work trips and it's a great laptop. It can run many games but don't expect anything past 60fps - have no issues with loading. However when I connected my external microphone my friends said it sounded crunchy; so be aware that external mics may sound a bit lesser quality than normal if you connect it. I had no performance issues (then again I play things like FFXIV and cozy games). Great for being on the go. Battery life is okay if you're not gaming.

I love this thing. I havent gamed in years bearly a decade really. I was in the store looking at another laptop, then an accosiate came over to assist me and suggested i spend a little more for this one. Better graphics card, double the ram, better processer just all around better. So far on any game i have played i have the graphics maxed out and it runs great! Fans a little loud but thats expected to help keep things cool. Battery life isnt that good if your gaming but it takes power to run games. Over all amazing product i love it!

I’ve been using the Acer Nitro 15.6" Gaming Laptop for a few weeks now, and it has exceeded my expectations. The 144Hz FHD IPS display is stunning, providing smooth and vibrant visuals that enhance my gaming experience. The 13th Gen Intel Core i7 processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 graphics card handle even the most demanding games with ease, delivering excellent performance and fast load times.
The 16GB DDR5 RAM and 512GB SSD ensure that multitasking and storage are never an issue. The laptop runs quietly and stays cool, even during intense gaming sessions. The build quality is solid, and the design is sleek and modern.
Overall, the Acer Nitro offers fantastic value for its price, combining powerful hardware with a great display and reliable performance. I highly recommend it to any gamer looking for a high-quality, affordable gaming laptop.

Had to buy a new laptop cause my old one didn’t survive the storm. Decided to buy something better than what I had, and this laptop met all my requirements. I’ve been using for 2 weeks so far, and it didn’t let me down: it’s fast, no freezes, no glitches neither when just working on zoom no when playing games. Highly recommend.
