At PCMag, we know products—our experts review and recommend thousands of them. Our deals team works tirelessly to find the lowest prices on the technology you want most.

Acer's latest Nitro 5 gaming laptop line offers a range of configuration and price options. That includes a 15-inch notebook with Intel Core i5-10300H and Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 GPU—on sale now for $684.99.

This Black Friday sale price won't last long: Act fast and dominate the game with this powerful laptop, available from Amazon for $155 off the $839.99 list price.

Introduced at CES 2021, the new model is easily scaled up to match your budget and needs—from the GeForce GTX 1650 to an RTX 3080 GPU. In this case, the $685 version comes with a 15.6-inch widescreen Full HD (1,920-by-1,080 resolution) display with a 144Hz refresh rate, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of additional storage, housed in a plastic chassis.

Numerous perforations on the bottom of the chassis supply air to two cooling fans, which channel their exhaust out of the laptop's back and sides. And, when heavy use requires an added boost, Acer's built-in CoolBoost technology increases fan speed and improves thermal performance for better gaming comfort.

Measuring 14.31-by-10.04-by-0.94 inches (WDH), the Nitro 5 weighs 5.07 pounds, and promises up to 11 hours of battery life between charges. Plus, it's got plenty of space for all your accessories, including a set of USB 3.2 Gen 1 and Gen 2 Type-C ports, a headphone jack, and an ethernet point.

Acer's gaming laptop is more than just a button masher, though. Turn on Alexa Show Mode to use your PC as a full-screen interactive experience that lets you talk to the virtual assistant from across the room.

Get your game on with the 15-inch Acer Nitro 5 AN515-55-53E5 notebook, on sale for $684.99 for a limited time from Amazon.
