Acer Nitro 5 (17-inch, AN517-51-56YW): Here’s your cheap Fortnite laptop
In the field of low-end gaming laptops, Acer’s latest Nitro 5 (model AN517-51-56YW) is about as budget as they come. But for $880, you don’t need more than what the Acer Nitro 5 offers to play Fortnite and Apex Legends at 1080p and 60 frames per second with maximum settings. You can cross the same frame rate and resolution hurdles in lots of other modern games with a few minor graphical tweaks.
Those who turn up their noses at sub-144Hz displays should stay away, of course, and the Nitro 5’s speakers are a major weak point no matter what kind of player you are. But for folks with calibrated expectations, the Nitro 5 is a big low-budget gaming laptop that hits the right marks.
SPECS AND FEATURES
Unlike a lot of other laptops, the 17-inch Nitro 5 comes in just one configuration:
