Our take on the Acer Nitro 5 AN515-51-71LP 15.6" Gaming Laptop

The Nitro 5 AN515-51 is Acer's entry-level 15.6-inch gaming laptop, built around a quad-core Intel Core i7-7700HQ, an NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti, 12 GB of RAM and a 1 TB drive. Its 1080p screen, red-backlit keyboard and USB-C plus HDMI ports cover the basics for 1080p gaming and everyday work. It sits below the Helios and Predator lines: the chassis is all plastic, the panel is a plain 60 Hz TN unit and the battery is small, so it competes on core specs rather than finish. It suits budget-conscious gamers and students who mostly play at home with the charger nearby.

Questions and answers

Is the Acer Nitro 5 AN515-51 still worth buying?
For 1080p esports and older AAA games, yes, if the core specs matter more to you than screen quality or battery life. Newer Nitro models have better panels and newer graphics, so compare those before deciding.
Can it run modern games?
It handles esports titles and most games from its era well at 1080p. The newest AAA releases will need low settings and may still struggle on the GTX 1050 Ti.
How long does the battery last?
Expect only a few hours of light use and well under two hours of gaming. Treat it as a laptop that lives near a wall outlet.
Can I upgrade the RAM and storage?
Yes. The bottom panel comes off for access to the memory slots and drive bay, and owners commonly add RAM and an SSD.
What ports does it have?
It includes USB-C, HDMI, several USB-A ports and a headphone jack, enough for a mouse, headset and external monitor.
Is the keyboard backlit?
Yes, it has a red backlit keyboard, which helps in dim rooms.
