Even though the Acer Nitro 5 is equipped with the last-gen RTX 3070 Ti dGPU, the 15-inch QHD gaming laptop has a noticeably better price-performance ratio than the vast majority of RTX 4000-powered machines in the sub-US$1,000 price segment.

We have reviewed a fairly similar configuration of the Acer Nitro 5, but our test unit was equipped with the lower-resolution FHD display. However, our benchmarks of this exact CPU and GPU pairing should also reflect the great performance of the QHD gaming laptop that is on sale here. All in all, we found much praise for this well-rounded machine, but gamers may want to invest in a decent pair of noise-cancelling headphones as the AMD-equipped notebook can get quite loud under load. Since this applies to many gaming laptops on the market, buyers with less than US$1,000 to spend should make sure to check out this deal.
