The Acer Nitro 5 AN517-51 is a 17.3-inch gaming laptop built around a 9th-gen Intel Core i7 and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti, with two M.2 PCIe SSD slots and up to 32GB of DDR4 RAM. Its large chassis leaves room for twin fans, a dual exhaust design and CoolBoost, which raises fan speed and CPU/GPU cooling over auto mode. The red-backlit keyboard highlights WASD and arrow keys, and Waves MaxxAudio with Acer TrueHarmony handles sound. It suits gamers who want a big screen and upgrade room at a lower tier than thin-and-light rivals, but it is heavy and its GTX 1660 Ti sits below newer RTX cards.
