We’ve seen many noteworthy gaming notebook deals, and the latest one gives you a $150 discount on the Acer Nitro 5. This model offers a decent array of internal specifications and targets gamers looking for portability and wanting to experience a little gaming. It’s also ideal for students, given its $669.99 price tag, which is only valid for today.
The Acer Nitro 5 comes with a 15.6-inch 1080p 144Hz display, making everything run smooth like butter. You’ll immediately notice the difference between a 60Hz panel and a 144Hz one, so make sure you pick a gaming notebook strictly for this reason. The gaming laptop is also armed with a 10th-generation Intel Core i5-10300H, delivering four cores and eight threads that can operate at a maximum frequency of 4.50GHz. Given that Acer has significantly improved its cooling solutions, you can expect the Nitro 5’s CPU to run at high clock speeds.
Alongside the quad-core CPU, you get 8GB of DD4 RAM, and there’s an extra SODIMM slot available if you want to increase the total memory you have. For the best possible performance, we recommend a dual-channel memory configuration. When it comes to gaming, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti with 4GB of GDDR6 VRAM will be more than sufficient to give you high framerates in the latest e-sports titles. You’ll effortlessly be able to take advantage of the 144Hz display in this regard.
There’s also 256GB of PCIe NVMe storage. While you aren’t getting a whole lot of storage out of the box, the selling point of the Acer Nitro 5 is the upgradeability. You get one extra PCIe NVMe slot, along with another 2.5-inch hard drive bay where you can either add an SSD or a mechanical hard drive to increase your storage.
You also get an RJ45 Ethernet jack, plus a Wi-Fi 6 adapter to improve wireless network connectivity. You also get a decent assortment of ports, ranging from three USB-A 3.0 ports, one HDMI port, and one Type-C USB port that can also be used to connect to an external monitor. For its $669.99, the Acer Nitro 5 is a compelling option for gamers on a budget, as well as for students. Unfortunately, there are only 16 hours left for the deal to expire, so make sure you decide that.
