I was looking to buy a new laptop for some time (have even asked your help), and finally I went with an Acer Nitro 5 . I got it 2 days ago and so far, I’m fully satisfied.
Specs:
Intel core i7 12650H (only goes to 4.0GHz due to thermals), an 150W RTX 3070ti (which does go to full 150W, no thermal issues there), a 1Tb SSD, 1440p 165Hz display that looks super good, 57Wh battery(yeah).
In setting up the laptop I did face some visual glitches when I installed Intel graphics drivers from Intel’s official website… Had to reinstall Acer drivers to fix it (weird). Otherwise no bugs. Even installed Linux. Got 4hrs battery life that way.
I tried running 3dMark Time spy and have added the results in the post. modern games are yet to test.
What do you guys think? Should I check anything else? Would you like to see something else running on it?
Time spy:
Great buy! Congrats. One concern form me is always ports and battery life. Of course when playing you’ll be plugged in but for mobility I’m always worried about it.
Good luck!
Yesterday I forgot to turn on the switch and played on battery without knowing for 30 minutes. Went from 100-60. The game was old enough so there weren’t any performance difference so didn’t notice
Pretty good buy! Congrats. Last year bought similar but with 3060. Get ready to it be noisy as hell when cooling. Mine is.
