I received an Acer Nitro 5 review unit for purpose of reviewing the Acer Windows Mixed Reality headset and controllers. The Acer Nitro 5 features the latest 8th generation Intel processors, a minimum requirement for mixed reality VR playback and control.
Gaming laptops have rarely appealed to me. They're usually bigger, heavier and hardly portable, but they do offer desktop class performance as well as stunning graphics capability.
The industrial design of the Acer Nitro 5 is quite muted compared to many of the outrageous and amped up designs we see from many competing gaming notebooks. The cherry red accents over the metal and matte black case make this a striking device nonetheless. Hit jump for my full impressions.
