The Nitro 5 AN517-54-79L1 is a 17.3-inch gaming laptop with an Intel Core i7-11800H, an RTX 3050 GPU, 32GB of DDR4 RAM and a 1TB NVMe SSD. Its 1080p IPS screen runs at 144Hz, and it adds Killer Wi-Fi 6 and a backlit keyboard. The large screen and big memory suit students and desk-bound gamers who want a roomy display and heavy multitasking. Against rivals, the RTX 3050 is the weak link: similarly priced 15-inch gaming laptops often pair the same class of CPU with a stronger GPU, and the 17-inch Nitro chassis is heavy and its fans run loud under load.

Owners of the Nitro 5 line generally call it solid value for the performance, with a big screen and strong CPU. Common complaints are fan noise, heat, short battery life and the modest RTX 3050.
The Acer Nitro 5 AN517-54-79L1 is a 17.3-inch gaming laptop with an Intel Core i7-11800H processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 graphics. The display is a Full HD IPS panel with a 144Hz refresh rate. It has 32GB of DDR4 memory and a 1TB NVMe SSD, and it comes with Windows 11 installed.
The RTX 3050 has 4GB of dedicated GDDR6 memory, Ray Tracing Cores and Tensor Cores, and supports DirectX 12 Ultimate. Killer DoubleShot Pro lets the laptop use Wi-Fi and Ethernet at the same time and prioritize network traffic. The keyboard has red backlighting.
Dual fans and Acer CoolBoost handle cooling. CoolBoost raises fan speed by 10% and CPU/GPU cooling by 9% compared with auto mode, for a 25% overall gain in thermal performance. A dedicated keyboard button opens NitroSense, which shows component temperatures, fan speed, load, power plan and more. Alexa Show Mode turns the laptop into a full-screen interactive display you can talk to from across the room.
