When we reviewed the Acer Nitro 5, we found it to be a competent gaming laptop for the budget-conscious consumer, though it definitely had some issues (particularly large bezels, for instance). Still, it's a budget gaming laptop and thanks to this Black Friday deal, you can get some entry-level ray-traced gaming for a very affordable price.
The Nitro 5 comes with a ninth-gen Intel Core i5 CPU, which is slower than the most recent generations but not that much slower, 16GB RAM, and a 512GB SSD – all of which is pretty standard for any gaming laptop nowadays.
The big stand-out is the GeForce RTX 2060 GPU, which you rarely see at this price point, that makes this an incredible laptop deal that you should definitely give a long, hard look at if you're in the market for a cheap gaming laptop for the holidays.
